Cold Start
Performing the Cold Start function decreases the time it
takes to get a satellite lock. Cold Start means that the
Galileo
has no reference to use as a guide to tell it what
satellites should be overhead. Without a reference, the
Galileo
will search the sky trying to find any satellite
that may be overhead. This can increase the time it takes
to get its first satellite lock. (Up to 10 minutes in severe
conditions.) Under normal operating conditions, the last
satellite lock computed before the unit was turned off, is
stored into memory and will be used as the reference the
next time the unit is turned on. Also, if you travel for more
than 500 miles with the Galileo
turned off, it will still
have the reference point, but it may be too inaccurate to be
useful. In this case you may want to perform a Cold Start.
Finding Your Way - Main Navigational Pages
Galileo
provides a total of four screens to provide
services, show you points of interest (POI) and to help
you keep track of your travels. The following is a brief
description of the main navigational pages. By pressing
the PAGE/ESC Button, each of these pages will be
displayed.
The Galileo
has a horizontal or vertical screen viewing
option. If you would like to change the orientation of the
display, simply press and hold the Page Button. See 15-A
