The GPS 12 MAP uses an on-screen message

indicator to alert you to important information.
Whenever the message appears, press ENTER to
acknowledge the message and return to the
previous page you were viewing. Messages are
provided for system status, waypoint/route
editing, battery condition, etc. For your safety,
pay careful attention to all messages.

Alarm Clock—The alarm clock time that was set from the Alarms
submenu has been reached.

Approaching—You are one minute away from reaching a destination
waypoint.

Arrival at—You have reached your destination waypoint.

Battery Power Low—The batteries are low and should be replaced.

Data Transfer Complete—The unit has finished uploading or down-
loading information to the connected device.

Degraded Accuracy—The unit’s accuracy has been degraded beyond
500 meters due to poor satellite geometry or data quality. Check other
navigational sources to verify the position indicated.

Leg not Smoothed—The upcoming route leg is too short for smooth
waypoint transitions.

Memory Battery Power Low—The battery that sustains user memory is
low and should be replaced by an authorized service center as soon as
possible. Failure to do so may result in loss of stored data, including all
user waypoints and routes. NOTE: This message may also appear if the
unit has been stored without batteries for a period of 3-4 months.
Inserting new batteries, or operating from auxillary power for 24 hours
will recharge the internal memory battery.

Need Altitude for 2D Nav—The unit needs altitude input in order to
start and/or continue 2D navigation.

Need to Select Init Method—You must select an initialization method
so the unit can locate satellites and obtain a fix.

No Differential GPS Position—Not enough data is available to
compute a DGPS position.

No RTCM Input—Beacon receiver is improperly connected or baud
rates do not match.
