The GPSMAP 180 will now begin searching for the appropriate satellites for your
present position and should acquire a fix within a few minutes. While the receiver
searches for satellites, a flashing satellite icon will appear at the left-hand side of the
status bar. A signal strength bar will appear for each satellite in view, with the appro-
priate satellite number under each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition is shown
in three stages:
No signal strength bars
the receiver is looking for the satellites indicated.
Hollow signal strength bars
the receiver has found the indicated satellite(s) and is col-
lecting data.
Solid signal strength bars
the receiver has collected the necessary data and the satel-
lite(s) is ready for use.
Once the receiver has collected information from at least three satellites, the flash-
ing satellite icon on the status bar will quit flashing and remain solid, and the
GPSMAP 180 is ready for use.
Now that the unit is initialized, lets turn the unit off and then begin the Getting-
Started Tour.
To turn the GPSMAP 180 off:
1. Press and hold the
P
key for about 3 seconds, until the screen is blank.
