4. Tap GPS and then tap Connect.
The handheld first attempts to detect the GPS receiver. The GPS then attempts to
acquire a satellite fix. This process may take a few minutes. The position indicator on
the map displays red when a satellite fix cannot be obtained, yellow when a 2-D fix is
obtained, and green when a 3-D fix is obtained.
If no GPS device is detected, an error message displays.
Notes
• From the GPS menu, tap Disconnect any time to disconnect.
• You can check the status of your GPS connection on the Monitor, Sky View,
and Channel View screens under the GPS menu.
• If the GPS receiver is receiving satellite data, but there is insufficient data
for an accurate location, the status displays (or if you are using a
WAAS-enabled device). Move your receiver to another location until you
get better reception.
• When a GPS connection is successful and the receiver is acquiring
sufficient satellite data to determine your location, the status displays
(or if you are using a WAAS-enabled device). A 3-D connection provides
data on your current coordinates, elevation, heading, and the speed you
are traveling while recording a GPS log. The blinking GPS Position icon
displays at the center of the map view screen if you are not moving. Once
you start traveling, the GPS Position icon changes to an arrow indicating
direction of travel.
• If you pan the map and the GPS Position is not in the map view, the GPS
Off Map icon displays in the lower-left of the map view screen. Tap the
icon to center the map on your current GPS Position.
