The Gelling Slaned Tour assumes you have cor­
rectly installed the GPS 120 in your vessel accord­
ing to the instructions in Appendix A, and have not
changed any of the factory settings (units of mea­
sure, selectable fields, etc ). If you have changed any
of the default settings, ther pictures and descrip­
tions used may not match your unit’s configuration.
The first time you power up your new GPS 120 is
an important step in getting the best possible GPS
performance. The receiver must be given an oppor­
tunity to collect satellite almanac data and establish
its present position. This process can take 7.5-15
minutes, and is only necessary for first time opera­
tion or after memory loss.
You’re now ready to power up and discover the
world of GARMIN GPS navigation.
