Satellite Status Page Options Menu
Every NavTalk Pilot page has a corresponding options
menu which allows you to customize that particular page.
To display the Satellite Status Page options menu, press
MENU from the Satellite Status Page.
The following options are available:
Start Simulator - starts the unit’s built-in simulator
(if ‘Start Simulator’ is selected, ‘Stop Simulator’ will appear
as an option instead.)
Track Up - changes the sky view display from ‘North
Up’ orientation to align to your current direction of travel
(track). If ‘Track Up’ is selected, ‘North Up’ will appear as
an option instead.
AutoLocate - forces the unit to search for any
available satellites to determine your position. This
option is useful if you’ve relocated a distance greater than
500 miles from the last location the unit was used.
To select ‘AutoLocate’, highlight ‘AutoLocate’ and
press ENTER.
Initialize Position - designates your approximate
position in order to speed up satellite acquisition. This
option may be used instead of ‘AutoLocate’.
To initialize your starting position:
1. Highlight ‘Initialize Position’ and press ENTER.
2. Designate your approximate position on the map
using the ARROW keypad and press ENTER. (Use
the zoom keys to adjust the level of detail displayed,
as you determine your approximate position.)
Set 2D Altitude - designates your approximate
altitude, when the unit is acquiring satellites or navigating
in 2D mode. By default, 2D navigation will attempt to use
the last known altitude. If the altitude shown is off by
several hundred feet or more, manually entering your
approximate altitude will enable the receiver to more
accurately determine a position fix. Altitude cannot be
entered while in 3D mode.
While it may take a few
minutes longer,
AutoLocate is the
simplest method to
initialize your unit.
