Magellan NAV 5000, User Manual

Page: 59 / 153

A position fix is calculated when enough satellites for the mode you
have chosen have been acquired. lf the unit was initialized correctly,
the first position fix can be made in 55 seconds or less. Subsequent
fixes can be made in about 30 seconds, if the previous fix was made in
the last hour and you are using the same set of satellites.

READING THE RECEIVER STATUS SCREEN
Position Display
The position is automatically displayed on three screens when it
has been calculated. Scroll through the screens with the DOWN
ARROW.
The first position screen
shows the latitude,
longitude, mode, and
altitude. Remember that
altitude is a user-entered
value in 2D; the unit
computes it in 3D.
