Getting Started
GPS Information Page Options Menu
To activate the Options Menu from the GPS Information Page, press the
MENU Key. To select an option, highlight the desired selection then press
ENTER.
Use With GPS On/Off — This option turn the GPS receiver On of Off. Select
this option if you are indoors and can not receive satellite signals, or if you
wish to use only the sensors. If this option is selected, it will save battery
power and allow the map to redraw faster.
Start/Stop Simulator — This option is used to Start or Stop the Simulator.
Track Up/North Up — This option determines if the satellites are displayed
with the rings oriented with North toward the top of the display or your cur-
rent track toward the top of the display.
New Location — if you have moved the unit to another state, province, or
country, and you are having trouble locking onto satellite signals select ‘New
Location’.
When you select ‘New Location’, an options menu will be displayed. This
menu contains the options ‘Automatic’ or ‘Use Map’. If you select ‘Automatic’
the unit will switch to AutoLocate and begin searching for satellites. This
method can take up to five minutes for the unit to begin navigation.
If you select ‘Use Map’ you can use the Pointer on the Map Page to select your
approximate location and the unit will continue to acquire satellites normally
using the almanac for satellite reference. Using this method, the unit does not
need to reinitalize and should receive satellite signals quickly.
If the unit is in the ‘Simulator’ mode, the ‘Use Map’ feature will allow you to
move the simulated current location.
