Now that you are back at the Satellite Status Page, let’s enter a starting posi-
tion for our tour. Entering names and numbers in the GPSMAP system is done
through data entry windows. Once a data entry window is open, the
K
keypad and
C
key are used to choose and accept a value for each character
position:
1. Press the
K
key to highlight the position field (top right).
2. Press the
C
key to begin entry of the following position:
N 24º 43.111’, W 077º 42.407’.
3. Use the
K
keypad to highlight the appropriate character choice for each field.
4. Press the
C
key to accept each choice and move to the next character posi-
tion. When you accept a value for the last character position, you will
automatically return to the Satellite Status Page.
If you need to correct a mistake or change values in a character field, use the appro-
priate softkeys at the bottom of the screen. Use BKSPC to move back one character
position; CLEAR to erase all entered data; and RESTORE to restore the previous field
value. The OK softkey accepts data entry and returns the display to the previous
page, and the CANCEL softkey stops the current data entry mode.
The Satellite Status Page will now indicate the position you entered and give
you a simulated display of signal strength and satellite position. To continue
the tour, let’s move on to the Map Page.
1. Press the
E
key to display the Map Page.
