The GPS II + uses a flashing on-screen message indicator to alert you to important information. Whenever
the message indicator appears, press PAGE to view the message page. There are two types of messages: tem-
porary alerts and condition alerts. Temporary alerts can be cleared from the message page, while condition
alerts remain until the condition has been resolved. For your safety, pay careful attention to all messages.
Active WPT Can’t be Deleted—You have attempted to
change the ‘active to’ or ‘active from’ waypoint. Clear the
active route or GOTO before making your changes.
Accuracy has been Degraded—The unit’s accuracy has been
degraded beyond 500 meters due to poor satellite geometry or
data quality. Check other navigational sources to verify the

the GPS II+’s memory.

tination waypoint.

CDI Alarm—You are left or right of course beyond the limits
set on the alarms submenu.
Leg not Smoothed—The upcoming route leg is too short for
smooth waypoint transitions.

memory is low and should be replaced by an authorized ser-
vice center as soon as possible. Failure to do so may result in
loss of stored data, including all user waypoints and routes.

start and/or continue 2D navigation.
Need to Select Init Method— You must select an initializa -
tion method so the unit can locate satellites and obtain a fix.

pute a DGPS position.
