Section 7:
Basic GPS Operations
This section addresses the unit's most basic GPS operations. The tuto-
rials presented in Sec. 7 follow a chronological order. Sec. 8, Advanced
GPS Operations, will discuss other more advanced functions and utili-
ties. Material in Sec. 8 is arranged in alphabetical order.
Before you turn on the M68 and find where you are, it's a good idea to
learn about the different keys, the five GPS Page screens and how they
all work together. BUT, if you just can't wait to get outside, turn to the
one-page Quick Reference on page 91.
