Basic GPS
Using the
Simulator
Introduction
Each time the NavTalk Pilot is turned on, the
Welcome Page will appear while the unit conducts a self
test. A Database Information Pages comes next giving the
effective date of the Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. Americas
Aviation Data. Once the internal test is complete (after a
few seconds), the Land Data Warning Page will appear,
asking you to read and acknowledge important informa-
tion regarding the proper use of the land data that is
provided.
After approximately ten seconds, the Land Data
Warning Page will be replaced by the Cellular Status Page.
(If the Satellite Status Page appears instead of the Cellular
Status Page, it’s because the unit was in the GPS mode
when it was turned off.) If the GPS receiver needs
initialization before obtaining a position fix, a message
will inform you to “select initialization method”.
To initialize the GPS receiver:
1. Press
ENTER
to acknowledge the message and see
a list of initialization options or select ‘Initialize
Position’ from the Satellite Status Page Menu.
2. Use the
ARROW
keypad to highlight ‘Use Map’ and
press
ENTER
.
3. Use the
ARROW
keypad to point the map cursor to
your approximate location (within 250 miles). You
can also use the IN/OUT zoom keys to make it easier
to identify your approximate position.
4. Press
ENTER
to select the position and begin
searching for satellites.
Or...
5. Select AutoLocate, press
ENTER
and allow the unit
to search for satellites automatically.
AutoLocate is the simplest method of initialization
but may take several minutes longer to acquire satellites.
You’ll know you have a fix when the NavTalk Pilot
automatically transitions from the satellite status page to
the map page. The NavTalk Pilot is now ready to use.
You can bypass both the
Welcome Page and the
Warning Page by pressing
the
PAGE
key or the
ENTER
key twice.
The Satellite Page Menu
allows you to select an
intialization method,
orientation, and the
Simulator Program.
