To change the position, press the right arrow key
while the “POSITION” box is highlighted. The
screen shown at right appears.
If your latitude is south, press the up or down ar-
row key to change it. If it is north, press the right
arrow key to move the change box to the first num-
ber in the latitude. Now press the up arrow key to
increase the number or the down arrow key to
decrease it. Once the first number in the latitude
is set, press the right arrow key once to move to
the next number in the latitude.
Keep pressing the arrow keys until the latitude and longitude are set to
your local position. (Note: This position does not have to be very accurate.
If you can get it within one degree of your actual position, that will be fine.)
When it’s set, press the ENT key. The Expedition accepts your entry and
returns to the GPS setup menu.
Now change the local time and date (if they’re incorrect) on this screen.
(Don’t worry about altitude.) When everything is acceptable, press the
EXIT key repeatedly to return to a mode screen. The Expedition will in-
stantly use the data you entered to find the satellites in the sky. (The unit
knows which satellites will be available at the position, date, and time you
entered. Therefore, it will only look for those satellites, making the search
time much shorter than a cold start which looks for all of the satellites
until it finds three.)
Once the Eagle Expedition finds and locks on to three satellites, it stops
flashing the numbers on the display. (Note: Altitude will still flash until the
unit locks on to the fourth satellite. It takes four satellites to determine
altitude.)
IMPORTANT!
If the data shown in digital numbers on any screen is flashing, it means
that data is invalid. DO NOT RELY ON ANY NUMBERS THAT ARE
FLASHING! Usually, this happens when the Eagle Expedition has lost
its lock on the satellites. The data that is flashing was the last known
when the unit lost its navigational capability.
DO NOT NAVIGATE WITH THIS UNIT UNTIL THE DATA STOPS
FLASHING!
