· Use the right or left arrow key to position the cursor over the latitude
field.
· Check the hemispheric designation (“N” or “S”) of the latitude. If it is
correct, go to the next step. If it is incorrect, press the CLR key
followed by the key labeled with the correct hemispheric designator for
your position. For example, if your position is North of the Equator
press the 5 key. This will cause an “N” to be displayed in the first
character of the latitude. Similarly, press the 7 key for “S” if your
position is South of the Equator.
· Enter your approximate latitude in degrees and minutes.
· Press the ENT key when your latitude is correct. The cursor will
automatically move to the longitude field.
· Check the hemispheric designation (“E” or “W”) of the longitude. If it
is correct, go to the next step. If it is incorrect, press the CLR key
followed by the key labeled with the correct hemispheric designator for
your position. For example, if your position is in the Eastern Hemi-
sphere, press the 2 key. This will cause an “E” to be displayed in the
first character of the longitude. Similarly, press the 8 key for “W” if your
position is in the Western Hemisphere.
· Enter your approximate longitude in degrees and minutes.
· Press the ENT key when your longitude is correct.
Alternatively, you may enter the name of a nearby waypoint. The GPS 100
will use the position of the waypoint as its initial position. You will find this
method convenient if the nearby waypoint is already programmed and stored
in memory (see Chapter 4 for information on waypoints).
To update the initial position by waypoint name...
· Use the right or left arrow key to position the cursor over the waypoint
name on line 3.
· Enter the waypoint name. The GPS 100 will display the latitude/
longitude of the entered waypoint on line 2.
