New Elevation —
This option can be used to enter a different elevation. If
the GPS has a 2D GPS Location, entering a known elevation can increase
the GPS accuracy.
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’, an options menu will be displayed. This
menu contains the options ‘Automatic’ or ‘Use Map’. If you select ‘Automatic’
the unit will switch to AutoLocate and begin searching for satellites. This
method can take up to fi ve minutes for the unit to begin navigation.
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
using the almanac for satellite reference. Using this method, the unit does not
need to reiniitalize and should receive satellite signals quickly.
If the unit is in the ‘Simulator’ mode, the ‘Use Map’ feature will allow you to
move the simulated current location.
