Description: The number of satellites currently visible
What is mGpsStatusSatellitesVisible?
This read-only value reports the number of GPS satellites currently visible to the device's receiver, from 0 to 255. Admins use it to gauge GPS reception quality at the unit's location, since a low count of visible satellites explains a poor or absent fix. For example, seeing only 2 or 3 visible satellites in a location with obstructed sky view helps explain why mGpsStatusFixMode is reporting nofix(0).
