DETAILED OPERATION

The cursor can then be moved to the right to adjust the minutes to one of two values, 00 or
30. Only after pressing Key 1, SET is the information saved and the display will revert to

Screen 3, GPS Status Screen.
The local offset is held in RAM and added to UTC time when calculating ETA's. Default

value is +00:00. It is important to set local offset correctly to ensure any ETA’s given
are correct.

Pressing GPS STATUS in Main Menu, followed by SET POSN, accesses this Screen.
The SET POSN key will not be available if the GPS has acquired a fix.
On entry to this Screen a cursor is positioned over the first character of the latitude as
shown above. The joystick can then be used to increment or decrement values and to

move the cursor right and left.
Alternatively you can press Key 4 VIEW MAP and using the joystick, simply point at your

present position.
