try to use it under a carport, covered boat dock, or inside a building. Turn
the power on, press the EXIT key to erase the opening message and
watch the display.
As you wait for the GlobalNav 200 to find your position, you’ll see num-
bers flashing on the display. Anytime you see flash-
ing numbers, it means the GlobalNav 200 does
not have a position! Do not rely on any data that
is flashing! Once the GlobalNav 200 locks on to
the satellites and finds your position, it shows a
“Position Acquired” message on the screen. It
also stores the satellite data in its memory. The
next time you use the unit, it should take much
less time to lock on.
That’s all you have to do to find your position. Your
local time display may not be correct when the
cold start method is used. See the initialization
section for details on changing the time.
Finding Your Position
Initialization
A cold-start as described above can take over two minutes to find your
position. A faster method is to initialize the GlobalNav 200 manually. To do
this, first press the PWR key. Next, read the message on the screen and
press the EXIT key to erase it. Now press the MENU key.
Press the up or down arrow keys until the “GPS SETUP” menu is high-
lighted. Now press the right arrow key. Next, using the down arrow key,
highlight the “INIT GPS” (initialize GPS) menu,
then press the right arrow key. The screen shown
at right appears.
This is the GPS initialization screen. The posi-
tion, altitude, time, and date the GlobalNav 200 is
currently using to find the satellites is shown at
the bottom of this screen. Changing these values
to your local position and time will speed the po-
sition lock.
To change the position, press the right arrow key
while the “POSITION” box is highlighted. The
screen shown at right appears.
