When you turn on the GPSMAP 2106/2110, a Warning Page appears, showing
unit information, network connections (attached devices), and important
information regarding the proper use of the unit. It takes a few seconds for the
GPSMAP 2106/2110 to search for attached devices. When the search is complete,
the
I Agree
button is highlighted. After reading the warning, press
ENTER
.
Next, you see the first of the main pages, the Map Page. The GPSMAP 2106/2110
begins searching for GPS satellites. The first time the unit acquires satellites takes
several minutes. Afterward, acquisition times are quicker during normal use. The
GPS status icon on the left side of the status bar shows the progress of the satellite
acquisition process.
GPS status icon colors are:
•
Red
—acquiring satellites/lost satellite reception.
•
Orange
—ready for navigation/ready for navigation with WAAS.
•
Gray
—lost GPS connection. (Check GPS antenna wiring connections.)
A detailed visual reference of the satellite acquisition, GPS receiver status, and
accuracy is available on the
GPS
tab on the Main Menu.
To view the GPS tab information:
1. Press and hold
ADJ/MENU
to open the Main Menu.
2. Use the
ROCKER
to highlight the
GPS
tab.
When viewing the GPS Info sub tab, a signal strength bar for each satellite in
view appears on the right of the page, with the appropriate satellite number
underneath each bar. The numbers below each bar represent the particular satellite
that is being received. Numbers above 33 indicate WAAS satellites. For more
information about WAAS, see the “
.”
The sky view shows a birds-eye view of the location of each satellite relative to
the receiver’s last known location. The outer circle represents the horizon (north
up), the inner circle 45º above the horizon, and the center point a location directly
overhead. You can also set the sky view to track up, which causes the top of the
sky view to align along your current track heading.
