The DGPS message appears whenever the unit begins or stops using
DGPS data to help determine your position.

MSG” and press the left arrow key.
SUNRISE/SET MOONRISE/SET CALCULATOR
This unit has a sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset calculator that shows
this information anywhere or anytime in the world. To use it, press the
MENU key, then highlight “SUN/MOON CALC” and
press the right arrow key. Highlight either the sun or
moon calculator and press the right arrow key. The
screen shown at right appears if you chose the sunrise
calculator. (Both calculators work identically. The sun-
rise/sunset calculator is used for this example.) The
sunrise and sunset for today’s date appear in the cen-
ter of the screen. Today’s date shows at the top of the
screen. If you want to know the sunrise/sunset for a
different date, press the ENT key, then enter the new
date with the arrow keys. The unit returns to the sun-
rise/sunset calculator screen with the sunrise and sun-
set times shown for the date you entered.
The sunrise and sunset show for your present position. If you move the
plotter’s cursor to a different position before using this calculator, it will
show the sunrise/sunset for the cursor’s location.
The moonrise/moonset calculator works identically to
the sunrise/sunset calculator. It looks like the screen at
right. A moon symbol shows near the bottom of the
screen, showing the approximate phase of the moon.
The arrow next to the symbol shows if it is moving to-
wards a full moon (up) or a new moon (down).
Press the EXIT key to erase this screen.
Note: The sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset calculators work using
the present position or cusor position to make the calculations. Make certain
the unit has locked onto the satellites and is showing the correct position
before using the calculator.
