Garmin GPSCOM 170 - Manual (Page 70)

EZinit
After a few seconds, the satellite status page will
appear with the EZinit prompt ready for you to select one
of two initialization methods:
• Select Country— allows you to initialize the receiv-
er by selecting your present position from a list of
countries in the GPSCOM 190’s internal database.
This feature provides a position fix in 3-5 minutes.
• AutoLocate— allows the GPSCOM 190 to initialize
itself and calculate a position fix without knowing
your present position. This feature provides a posi-
tion fix in approximately 5 minutes.
If the EZinit prompt has not automatically appeared
on the status page, press
E
.
If you’ve already initialized the GPSCOM 170 and the
EZinit prompt appears, highlight the ‘NO RE-INIT’ selec-
tion with the arrow keypad and press
E
. The EZinit
prompt may appear if you’ve had the unit on in normal
mode while indoors, or if the antenna is shaded while
acquiring satellites.
To initialize the receiver:
1. Use the up or down arrow keys to highlight the
‘COUNTRY’ option and press
E
.
2. Use the down key to scroll through the country listings
until the country where you are presently located
appears.
3. Use the up or down arrow key to highlight the
country/state/region you’re in. If the country you’re in is
not listed, select another country within 500 miles of
your present position.
4. Press
E
to finish.
