Enter Land Mode— adapts GPSMAP 295 features for automotive use. The HSI Page is replaced
with an RMI Page, some aviation-related messages are disabled and some configuration settings
(such as units of measure for speed and distance) can be saved separately for Land Mode and
Aviation Mode. When Land Mode is selected, ‘Enter Aviation Mode’ will appear as an option instead.
See page 6 for more information about Land Mode and Aviation Mode.
To select Land Mode (or Aviation Mode) highlight ‘Enter Land Mode’ (or ‘Enter
Aviation Mode’) and press ENTER.
Track Up— changes the sky view display from ‘North Up’ orientation to align to current direction
of travel (ground track). If ‘Track Up’ is selected, ‘North Up’ will appear as an option instead.
To change the sky view orientation:
1. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to highlight ‘Track Up’ (or ‘North Up’) and press ENTER.
AutoLocate— forces the GPSMAP 295 to search for any available satellite(s) to determine its
position. This option is useful if you’ve relocated a long distance (greater than 500 miles) from the
last location the GPSMAP 295 was used. In such instances, without initialization, the GPSMAP 295
may otherwise be looking for the wrong group of satellites.
To select AutoLocate, highlight ‘AutoLocate’ and press ENTER.
Initialize Position— allows you to designate your approximate position in order to speed up
satellite acquisition. This option may be used in lieu of ‘AutoLocate’, above.
To initialize your starting position:
1. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to highlight ‘Initialize Position’ and press ENTER.
2. Designate your approximate position on the map using the ROCKER KEYPAD and press ENTER.
(You may wish to use the IN and OUT zoom keys to adjust the level of detail displayed, as you
determine your approximate position.)
Satellite Status Page Options
Use the ‘Initialize Position’ option to speed up satellite
acquisition—especially if your have travelled a great
distance (> 500 miles) with the GPSMAP 295 turned off.
Land Mode disables the airspace alert messages and replaces
the graphic HSI with an RMI. The RMI depicts ground track
and bearing to destination only. Select Land Mode when
using the GPSMAP 295 in an automobile.
