SCREEN DISPLAYS
This GPS receiver has 4 different screens
which can be changed by using the PAGE
button.
1. SIGNAL STRENGTH SCREEN
This appears when you first switch the
device on. It takes a while to get a ‘fix’ on
each satellite. As more satellites are locked
on, the accuracy improves. (An ‘Advanced
Skyview’ can be seen as an alternative view
by pressing the ENTER button and choosing
this option - the display will show you exact-
ly where the satellites are in the sky.)
This is the screen you will see when you first switch on. The GPS
is ready to use when the signal display bar is full and the satellites
stop flashing and a link is shown to each of them.
