Service Mode Question: where can I find GPS connection info?

[swamibob]

Can someone tell me where to locate the GPS satellite info in the service menu? I looked all over and I found the cellular info but someone said they were able to see how many GPS satellites they are connected to and I'd like to see if mine looks all right now.

This morning I was getting an error saying Poor GPS Location Accuracy when I turn on FSD. When I got to work, I looked on my app and I see where the car is, but it's position in the parking lot was off by 50ft. It is usually dead on the exact space I am parking in. Tesla sent through an update after my scroll button reset didn't fix it. It looks like it's working ok after the update but i'd like to verify how many I am connecting to to make sure it looks back to normal. Thanks.

50ft is actually a quite reasonable distance for a GPS to be off. I see them often travelling much further than that.

It's post processing software that pins a GPS position to a road, not the actual GPS. And yes, this periodically gets out of whack. A good nights sleep often fixes it, but it seldom lasts over a few days.

So no one knows how to access the GPS satellite info as far as signal strength or amount of satellites connected to, from service mode or anywhere in the UI?

That's detailed information that really isn't that important.
