Hi As far as I know, it simply means that there are more satellites in view than needed for a fully accurate time to be determined. If it needs four sats to come up with a valid location plus time, it has five or more. If it has five but is not happy with the location solution (still in survey etc) it likely is not going to be happy with the time solution. At the other end of the status empire, you have TRAIM fail (or whatever a specific manufacturer calls it). In that case you have multiple sats, but they don’t agree well enough to figure out what time it is at all.
