WARNINGS & NOTIFICATIONS

When using the GPS105 in a motor vehicle it is the user's responsibility to

ensure operating the GPS105 does not detract from the safe operation of the

vehicle.

For safety reasons it is not recommended that a driver change any settings

while in motion. Please come to a complete stop or have a passenger make

changes if necessary.

The Global Positioning System is operated and maintained by the US

Government. The US Government is completely responsible for the accuracy of

the Global Positioning System.

The US Government reserves the right to make changes to the Global

Positioning System in accordance with the Department of Defence civil GPS

user policy and the Federal Radio navigation plan. These changes along with

poor satellite geometry could cause inaccurate readings.

GPS signal reception can be affected by the location of satellites, tall

buildings, tunnels, bridges, etc. If the GPS105 is not receiving a signal, you

will need to change your location until a signal is received.

The latitude, longitude, and altitude indications on the display are based on

WGS-84 Datum, and the altitude indication may not appear depending on the

signal conditions from GPS satellites.

The compass heading (directional pointer) shown on the display is referenced

to the GPS105's last forward movement.

When viewing the compass heading the GPS105 must be facing in the

direction of the last forward movement in order to read the compass heading

correctly.
