During the initial satellite acquisition, the displayed position is the last known
position stored in the GPS 95. If your position has moved a considerable
distance since the unit was last used, the GPS will perform an AutoLocate
TM
(See Section 2.7.) This process can take up to ten minutes as the GPS 95
determines its new location. Alternatively, you may enter a more accurate
initial position directly on the Present Position Page to speed up the
acquisition process. (You may also change the position at any time while you
are in simulator mode.)
5.5 SAMPLE TRIP
Your new GPS 95 is really very simple to operate. For the purpose of this
demonstration is is assumed that the factory default settings, including the
selection of nautical units (knots, nautical miles, feet), have not been
changed. If these settings have been changed, the unit may display different
data than that presented here. (See Chapter 8 on unit setups.)
Turn the GPS 95 on. The unit will
display the welcome screen and
perform several diagnostic checks to
ensure that proper operation will occur.
The Database Page will be displayed
showing the cycle, effective date and
expiration date of the database.
Review the database information and

Since this is a simulated trip, you will select the simulator mode and indicate
a starting location for the trip. Your simulated trip will begin at an intersection
called LENEX in Lenexa, Kansas. (NOTE: This sample trip assumes that
the Americas database is used. If you are using the International database
follow the general steps outlined in this sample trip, but substitute waypoints
from your area of interest.)
