 +  * {{: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 >>]])
