Restarting GPS (Initializing)

When To Restart GPS: Your eXplorist always starts looking for
satellites assuming it is in the same location as when it was turned
off. Traveling more than 500 miles with your eXplorist receiver
turned off may cause delays in position computation. Restarting
GPS is not mandatory but will decrease the time taken to compute
your position following such a move.

Changing Map Units

Map Units has four selectable options: Nav
Units, North Reference, Coord. System and Map
Datum.
Highlight the desired option and press

Enter.

Nav Units: Allows you to select the units of

measure used for displaying navigation and
position measurements.

North Reference: Used to set the top of the map display to

True North or Magnetic North.

Coordinate System (Coord System): Used to select the

coordinate system used to display position information.

Map Datum: Allows you to select the map datum used for

mapping information. If you are using a paper map or chart in
conjunction with your eXplorist receiver, be sure that the map
datum selected matches the map datum for the map or chart
you are using.
