Find Your Current Position
Finding your current position is as simple as turning the unit on. Under
an unobstructed sky, the unit automatically searches for satellites and
calculates its position in approximately one minute or less.
If for some reason satellite acquisition takes longer, you may be inside
a structure, a vehicle or in terrain that is blocking signal reception. To
correct this, be sure you are positioned so the unit's antenna module
has as clear a view of the sky as possible, then turn the unit off and
back on again.
Moving Around the Map: Zoom & Cursor Arrow Keys
The presented map is from a bird's eye view. The current zoom range
shows in the lower right corner of the screen.
1. Press the
ZIN key (zoom in) to move in closer and see more detail in a
smaller geographic area.
2. Press the ZOUT key (zoom out) to move farther away and see less map
detail, but a larger geographic area.
When you are traveling, the map will automatically move as you move.
This keeps your current location roughly centered on the screen.
You can manually pan or scroll the map northward, southward, eastward
or westward by using the arrow keys, which launch the cross-hair map
cursor. This allows you to look at map places other than your current
position. To clear the cursor, press
EXIT, which switches the map back to
the current position or the last known position.
Tip:
Use the cursor to determine the distance from your current position
to any map object. Position the cursor over the object or landmark
with the arrow keys. The distance, measured in a straight line,
appears in the pop-up box. Press
EXIT to clear the cursor.
