receiver (commonly called a beacon receiver), picks up correction sig-
nals broadcast from ground stations. The AccuMap Sport takes these
corrections and applies them to the position and altitude screens, giving
you much better accuracy.

Even with S/A on, and without a DGPS receiver, your AccuMap Sport
gives you outstanding position and navigation information. Most people
are amazed when they actually use a GPS receiver and see what it does.

Please sit down with the unit and this manual and familiarize yourself with
them before using the AccuMap Sport in the “real world”. A simulator is
built in, which lets you practice.
