Looks retarded... When last I checked the purpose of the Global Positioning System was to show the location of the user on earth. Not the locations of the satellites...

If that is the only function it has, it is seriously worthless to basically everyone-- but I highly doubt that's the extent of what it can do.

That just looks like the satellite linking screen. I'm assuming that's just a branch off of the settings screen.

That's simply the satellite page showing which satellites it has found. It obviously has to do that to determine your position. There's no reason that it couldn't be real although I doubt it's an actual screenshot. To me it looks like just an artists representation. The $ would normally be the satellite number. Having said that it could use a bit more sprucing up. It should at least show the signal strength of each one.


When last I checked the purpose of the Global Positioning System was to show the location of the user on earth. Not the locations of the satellites...

This is standand in probably every GPS out there these days. You might want to read up on GPSs a bit more.

This is just the acquiring satellites image, every GPS has this kind of info. Then you can select another screen with streets, or another kind of info, like height, distances, heading, waypoints, etc...

To me they look like Sony(explain the S on them) sattelites and that the GPS shows the closest sattelites to you to connect to the GPS service.
