The Happy Face on the menu bar indicates the current status of the GPS receiver.

TAPPING THE GPS STATUS INDICATOR WILL ALLOW THE GPS TO BE ENABLED AS WELL.

Red Face

The Pocket PC is not receiving data from the GPS receiver. The connection, power and communication port should all be checked.

Yellow Face

The GPS receiver is currently acquiring signals from the satellites for a signal lock.

Green Face

A GPS signal lock has been established and the system is ready for navigation. When this happens, a red arrow should appear on the map, signifying the current position of the GPS receiver.
