Garmin GPS 45 - Manual (Page 19)

To enter the time offset:
1. If you are entering a negative offset, press
the L key to move the character highlight to the
+/- field. Press U to select a negative offset.
2. Press the R key to move to each character posi-
tion, and use the U or D keys to enter an off-
set value in each position.
3. Press the E key to confirm your time offset.
4. Press the P key to return to the Menu Page.
Because time zone boundaries do not follow exact
meridians of longitude, there may be some
instances where the offset indicated does not
result in the correct time for your position. Simply
add or subtract the difference from the offset for
the correct time.
You’ve now gone through the basic operation
of your new GPS and probably know a little more
than you think about how it works. We encourage
you to experiment with the GPS 45 until it
becomes an extension of your own marine
navigation skills.
If you encounter any problems using the unit or
want to take advantage of the GPS 45’s advanced
features, refer to the operation flowcharts and the
reference section of this manual.
To turn the GPS 45 off:
1. Press and hold the B key for 3 seconds.
Thank you for choosing the GARMIN GPS 45.
We hope that it will be a valuable navigation tool
for you, wherever your course may take you.
