If the GPSMAP 76 is unable to determine its location’, an options menu will
be displayed. Depending on the situation, select an option to help the unit
acquire satellites. To select an option, place the highlight over the option then
press ENTER.
Start Simulator —
The Simulator can be used when you are indoors and the
GPS is unable to locate satellites. When you select ‘Simulator’, the GPS
receiver is turned off saving battery power.
New Location —
If you have moved the unit to another state, province, or
country, and you are having trouble locking onto satellite signals select ‘New
Location’.
When you select ‘New Location’, another menu will be displayed. This menu
contains the options ‘Automatic’ or ‘Use Map’. If you select ‘Automatic’ the
unit will switch to the AutoLocate mode and begin searching for satellites. If
you select ‘Use Map’ you can use the Pointer on the Map Page to select your
approximate location and the unit will continue to acquire satellites normally.
‘Automatic’ may take longer to acquire satellites.
Stored w/o Batteries —
If you have stored the unit without batteries the date
stored in the GPS may be incorrect. To check the date, highlight ‘Stored w/o
Batteries’ and verify the date displayed. If the date is incorrect select ‘Stored
w/o Batteries to search for satellites.
Continue Acquiring —
Select this option if you are in an area where the satellite
signals are being temporarily blocked.
