Initial Chartplotter Settings
The first time you turn on the chartplotter, you must configure a series of initial settings. You must also
configure these settings when restoring original factory settings ( page 104 ). You can update each of these
settings later.
Configuring the Initial Chartplotter Settings

GPS Satellite Signal Acquisition
After you turn on the chartplotter, the GPS receiver must collect satellite data and establish the current
location. When the chartplotter acquires satellite signals, the signal strength bars at the top of the Home screen
are green . When the chartplotter loses satellite signals, the green bars disappear and a flashing
question mark appears on the vehicle (boat) icon on the chart screen.
