Garmin GPS 45 - Manual (Page 57)

The GPS 45 uses a flashing on-screen message to alert you to important information.
Whenever the message indicator appears, press the P key to view the message page.
There are two types of messages: temporary alerts and condition alerts. Temporary alerts
are cleared from the message page after viewing, while condition alerts remain on the
message page until the condition has been resolved. Pay careful attention to all messages
for your own safety.
Accuracy has been Degraded—The accuracy of the GPS 45 has been degraded beyond
500 meters due to poor satellite geometry or data quality. You should check
other navigational sources to verify the position indicated.
Already Exists—The waypoint name you are entering already exists in the GPS 45’s
memory.
Approaching—You are less than one minute away from reaching a destination waypoint.
Battery Power is Low—The AA batteries are low and should be replaced.
Can’t change Active WPT—You have attempted to change the ‘active to’ or ‘active from’
waypoint. Clear the active route or GOTO before making your changes.
No DGPS Position—Not enough data is being received to compute a DGPS position.
No RTCM Input—Beacon receiver is not properly connected or baud rates do not match.
Poor GPS Coverage—The GPS 45 cannot acquire the necessary number of satellites to
compute a position.
Power Down and Re-init—The GPS 45 is not able to calculate a position due to abnormal
satellite conditions. Turn the unit off and verify the last position shown by
other means.
Read Only Mem has Failed—The permanent memory has failed and the unit is not
operable. Take your unit to an authorized GARMIN dealer for repairs.
