GPS Mode
Select from the following modes:
Normal: The GPS receiver is always ‘ON’ when it’s in ‘NORMAL’ mode. The normal mode
is more responsive to sudden turns or change of speed/acceleration.
WAAS: The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) capability produces a more accurate
position fix. When enabled, the unit searches for a WAAS satellite near your location and
then receives data for correcting differentials in the GPS satellite signals and the WAAS
satellite numbers (beginning at No. 33 or above) display on the Satellite Page. It is helpful
to orient the unit antenna toward the WAAS satellite shown in the skyview. To learn more
about the WAAS System, access the Federal Aviation Administration Web site at
http://gps.faa.gov.
Battery Save: When the Foretrex 201 is in ‘BATTERY SAVE’ mode, the GPS receiver turns
on and off alternatively to conserve power.
Demo: The ‘DEMO’ mode is designed for dealers to show the features and functions of the
Foretrex 201 to potential customers inside a closed building where satellite reception is not
possible. There is no navigation possible in ‘DEMO’ mode. If you select the ‘DEMO’ mode,
a window displays at the bottom of the screen asking you to verify that you want to turn the
GPS off (the unit will stop tracking satellites, but not power off).
Off: To turn the GPS receiver off, select ‘OFF’ for the ‘GPS MODE’ setting.
