Introduction
Cautions
The GPS system is operated by the government of the
United States which is solely responsible for their accuracy
and maintenance. The Global Positioning System and the
Differential Global Positioning System are under develop-
ment and are subject to changes which could affect accuracy
and performance of all GPS equipment. Although a GPS
system is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID),
any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted, and therefore
become unsafe. Use the GPS system at your own risk. To
reduce this risk, carefully review and understand all aspects
of this Quick Start Guide and carefully compare indications
from your display to all available navigation sources includ-
ing the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings,
charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before
continuing navigation.
