Satellite Status Page Options

Many features of the GPS V are menu driven. Each of the main pages has an

options menu, allowing you to custom tailor the corresponding page to your prefer-
ences and/or select special features which specifi cally relate to that page.

To display the Satellite Status Page Options, press MENU (with the
Satellite Status Page displayed).

The following Satellite Status Page options are available:

Use Indoors or (Use Outdoors)—allows you to activate the GPS V’s built-in

simulator mode and practice using the unit indoors. This shuts the GPS receiver off so
it is not looking for satellites and helps to conserve battery power. If ‘Use Indoors’ is
selected, ‘Use Outdoors’ will appear as an option instead.

To activate (deactivate) the simulator mode for indoor use:

1. With the Satellite Status Page Options displayed, use the ROCKER KEYPAD to

highlight ‘Use Indoors’ (or ‘Use Outdoors’) and press ENTER.

Track Up (or North Up)—changes the sky view display from a ‘North Up’ orienta-

tion to align to the current direction of travel (track). If ‘Track Up’ is selected, ‘North
Up’ will appear as an option instead.

To change the sky view orientation:

1. With the Satellite Status Page Options displayed, use the ROCKER KEYPAD to

highlight ‘Track Up’ (or ‘North Up’) and press ENTER.
