The Satellites Page
stations that correct GPS signals to improve accuracy.
The GPS status is based on the satellite acquisition status.
GPS Off–The GPS receiver is turned off.
No Fix–The GPS does not have suf cient satellite
data to determine your current GPS position.
2-D–The GPS connection is successful, but the
connection quality is not as good as a 3-D  x.
Move your receiver to another location to get better
reception.
3-D–The GPS is receiving suf cient satellite data
(horizontal position and elevation) to determine
your location.
When "WAAS" appears below 2-D or 3-D, the PN-60 has
a WAAS connection (available only in North America) that
provides up to  ve times greater positional accuracy than
a regular 2-D or 3-D connection.
To set the current location
If it takes a long time for the PN-60 to obtain a 2-D or 3-D
x, verify it has a clear view of the sky. Be sure that trees,
buildings, and other obstacles are not blocking the device.
If the device still cannot obtain a 2-D or 3-D  x, go to
MENU > Set Current Location. When the Map Page
displays; pan the map to your current location and
press ENTER.
To turn off GPS
You can use many features on the PN-60 without a GPS
x. When the GPS receiver is turned off, "GPS OFF"
displays on the screen and all satellites are removed
from the satellite constellation.
There are two ways to turn off the GPS receiver.
From the Satellites Page go to MENU > Turn Off
GPS. To turn the GPS on again, go to MENU > Turn
On GPS.
From the Home Page, go to Settings > System >
GPS Setting > GPS Off. To turn the GPS on, select
Normal or Power Saving.
The GPS receiver is temporarily turned off when in
simulation mode (during track playback and navigation
simulation).
Time
You can change the time format, time zone, and manually
set Daylight Saving Time. The time is automatically set
from GPS satellites and is highly accurate.
To change the time settings, from the Home Page,
go to Settings > Time.
