-The **[[manual:user_guide:maps_mainscr_ctrl#gps_compass_icon_button_3|GPS/Compass button]]** that is by default positioned in the upper [[manual:user_guide:maps_settings:panels|function panel]] switches on a two tabbed window.
+The **GPS/Compass button/indicator** can be placed in one of the **[[:manual:user_guide:functions:panel|Functions panels]]**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tools:gpsscreen4.png?nolink |}}\\ It indicates your **internal GPS status**:
+  * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_gps_off_default.png?nolink&30}}- acquiring of location is **disabled**
+  * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_gps_on_no_fix_default.png?nolink&30}}- searching for location but valid location **not found yet**, location on the map is marked by an //orange circle//
+  * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_gps_on_ap_no_fix_default.png?nolink&30}}- the same as above, but //Internal GPS Auto-off//  is **enabled**  (see more in [[:manual:user_guide:settings:gps|GPS settings >>]])
+  * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_gps_on_fix_default.png?nolink&30}}- current location is **valid**  (GPS is fixed), location on the map is marked by a //blue circle//

+The **GPS/Compass button**  switches on a separate two tabbed window displaying [[:manual:user_guide:tools:gps|GPS skyplot and Compass]]. When you **hold**  the GPS/Compass button, a menu appears for a **fast switch of GPS status**.
 ===== GPS =====
-The first displays the **skyplot** - placement of monitored GPS satellites and other useful information like current //altitude//, //speed//, //GPS accuracy//, //current coordinates//, //number of fixed/visible satellites// and //time of the last GPS fix//.

+Topbar menu contains shortcuts to several items of your device sensors' settings:
+  * **[[manual:user_guide:tools:bluetooth|Bluetooth manager]]**
+  * **[[manual:user_guide:tools:altitude|Altitude manager]]**
+  * **GPS simulation**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tools:gpsscreen5.png?nolink |}}

+    * **NMEA** - simulation of movement read from NMEA messages\\ Active simulation is indicated red:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tools:gpsscreen6.png?nolink |}}
+  * **Settings**:
+    * **[[manual:user_guide:settings:gps|GPS and sensors]]**
+    * **System settings** - direct link to your device operation system settings of location
+==== 3D skyplot ====
+The skyplot can be switched into a 3D version:
+//Settings > GPS&location > 3D skyplot mode - check//
+The globe can be enlarged by pinch zooming and rotated.

-===== Topbar menu =====
-Contains switches of a few useful functions and settings:
-  * **Use hardware compass** - a shortcut to [[manual:user_guide:settings:sensors|the sensors settings]] - switches to the built-in hardware compass. Hardware compass bearing is more suitable for slower speeds, e.g. walking, as it does not require movement to detect direction unlike GPS. GPS azimuth bearing is more suitable for car navigation due to magnetic components in the car.
-  * **Bluetooth manager** - switches to the [[manual:user_guide:tools:bluetooth|settings dialog of connected Bluetooth devices]].
-  * **Altitude manager** - switches to the [[manual:user_guide:tools:altitude|altitude settings dialog]]
-  * **GPS and location** - a shortcut to the [[manual:user_guide:settings:gps|GPS and location settings]]
-  * **Sensors** - a shortcut to the [[manual:user_guide:settings:sensors|the sensors settings]]
-  * **System settings** - a shortcut to your device system settings of GPS and location
