If the StreetPilot is unable to calculate your location after a few minutes:
1. A ‘Poor Satellite Reception’ box appears on the screen (top right picture).
2. If you are indoors, or would otherwise like to simulate GPS location and motion, use the
ROCKER
keypad to highlight
Start Simulator
and press the
ENTER
key. The Simulator Mode
starts, and the StreetPilot returns to the page it was showing beforehand.
If the StreetPilot is brand new, or if the StreetPilot unit has been moved hundreds of miles since
the last time it tracked a GPS location, use the
ROCKER
keypad to highlight
Set New
Location
and press the
ENTER
key.
If neither of the above applies, and you would like the StreetPilot to continue looking for GPS
satellites, use the
ROCKER
keypad to highlight
Continue Acquiring
and press the
ENTER
key.
The StreetPilot will return to the page is was showing beforehand.
3. If you chose
Set New Location
, a new box appears asking what method you would like to use
for aiding the StreetPilot in determining your location.
4. If you know the general area of the continent where you are located, you can speed up the
calculation of your location by pointing to that area on a map. Use the
ROCKER
keypad to
highlight
Use Map
(top right picture) and press the
ENTER
key.
Otherwise, use the
ROCKER
keypad to select
AutoLocate
and press the
ENTER
key. The
StreetPilot will determine where you are located. This process is fully automatic and under
normal circumstances will calculate your position in 3-5 minutes when the unit has a good view
of the sky and is stationary.
Using the Map to Set Location
5. If you choose
Use Map
, a continental map is displayed with an arrow pointer on it (lower right
picture). Use the
ROCKER
keypad to move the arrow pointer to your approximate location and
press the
ENTER
key. Remember, you do not need to be exact. The StreetPilot only needs an idea
where you are within a few hundred miles.
