If your latitude is south, press the up or down ar-
row key to change it. If it is north, press the right
arrow key to move the change box to the first num-
ber in the latitude. Now press the up arrow key to
increase the number or the down arrow key to de-
crease it. Once the first number in the latitude is
set, press the right arrow key once to move to the
next number in the latitude.
Keep pressing the arrow keys until the latitude and
longitude are set to your local position. (Note: This
position does not have to be very accurate. If you
can get it within one degree of your actual position, that will be fine.) When
it’s set, press the ENT key. The GlobalNav 200 accepts your entry and
returns to the GPS setup menu.
Now change the local time and date (if they’re incorrect) on this screen.
(Don’t worry about altitude.) When everything is acceptable, press the
EXIT key repeatedly to return to a page screen. The GlobalNav 200 will
instantly use the data you entered to find the satellites in the sky. (The unit
knows which satellites will be available at the position, date, and time you
entered. Therefore, it will only look for those satellites, making the search
time much shorter than a cold start which looks for all of the satellites until
it finds three.)
Once the GlobalNav 200 finds and locks on to three satellites, it stops
flashing the numbers on the display. (Note: Altitude will still flash until the
unit locks on to the fourth satellite. It takes four satellites to determine
altitude.)
IMPORTANT!
If the data shown in digital numbers on any screen is flashing, it means
that data is invalid. DO NOT RELY ON ANY NUMBERS THAT ARE
FLASHING! Usually, this happens when the GlobalNav 200 has lost its
lock on the satellites. The data that is flashing was the last known when
the unit lost its navigational capability.
DO NOT NAVIGATE WITH THIS UNIT UNTIL THE DATA STOPS
FLASHING!
