Garmin NavTalk - Manual (Page 43)

You can bypass both the Welcome
Page and the Warning Page by
pressing the PAGE key or the ENTER
key twice.
The Satellite Page Menu allows you
to select an intialization method, ori-
entation, and to choose the
Simulator Program.
Each time the Navtalk is turned on, the Welcome
Page (spinning globe) will appear while the unit con-
ducts a self test. Once the internal test is complete (after
a few seconds), the Land Data Warning Page will appear,
asking you to read and acknowledge important informa-
tion regarding the proper use of the land data that is
provided.
After approximately ten seconds, the Land Data
Warning Page will be replaced by the Cellular Status
Page. (If the Satellite Status Page appears instead of the
Cellular Status Page, it’s because the unit was in the cell
phone mode when it was turned off.) If the GPS receiver
needs initialization before obtaining a position fix, a
message will inform you to “select initialization method”.
To initialize the NavTalk:
1. Press ENTER to acknowledge the message and see a list of
initialization options or select “Initialize Position” from the
Satellite Status Page Menu.
2. Use the ARROW Rocker Pad to highlight “Use Map” and
press ENTER.
3. Use the ARROW Rocker Pad to point the map cursor to your
approximate location (within 250 miles). You can also use
the IN/OUT ZOOM keys to make it easier to,identify your
approximate position.
4. Press ENTER to select the position and begin searching for
satellites.
You’ll know you have a fix when the NavTalk auto-
matically transitions from the Satellite Status Page to the
Map Page. The NavTalk is now ready to use.
4.3.1 Troubleshooting
If you have trouble initializing or getting a position
fix, check for the following:
• Does the receiver have a clear view of the sky?
It may be necessary to mount an external antenna on
your vehicle’s roof or trunk in order to give the unit a
better view of the sky. Refer to Appendix C for informa-
tion about external antennas.
• Have you selected the right area when initializing?
Check for the correct approximate position on
the Map Page (see page 33), or reselect your approxi-
mate location to restart the initialization.
