Keep pressing the arrow keys until the latitude and longitude are set to
your local position. (Note: This position does not have to be very accurate.
If you can get it within one degree of your actual position, that will be fine.)
When it’s set, press the ENT key. The GlobalMap Sport™ accepts your
entry and returns to the GPS setup menu.
Now change the local time and date if they’re incorrect on this screen.
(Don’t worry about altitude.) When everything is acceptable, press the
EXIT key to return to a mode screen. The GlobalMap Sport™ will in-
stantly use the data you entered to find the satellites in the sky. (The unit
knows which satellites will be available at the position, date, and time you
entered. Therefore, it will only look for those satellites, making the search
time much shorter than a cold start which looks for all of the satellites until
it finds three.)
Once the GlobalMap Sport™ finds and locks on to three satellites, it stops
flashing the numbers on the display. (Note: Altitude will still flash until the
unit locks on to the fourth satellite. It takes four satellites to determine
altitude.) It also sounds a tone, letting you know that it has completed the
search and is giving position data.
IMPORTANT!
If the data shown in digital numbers on any screen is flashing, it means
that data is invalid. DO NOT RELY ON ANY NUMBERS THAT ARE FLASH-
ING! Usually, this happens when the GlobalMap Sport™ has lost its lock
on the satellites. The data that is flashing was the last known when the
unit lost its navigational capability.
DO NOT NAVIGATE WITH THIS UNIT UNTIL THE DATA STOPS
FLASHING!
POSITION/NAVIGATION DISPLAYS
The GlobalMap Sport™ has navigation, mapping, and windows group
modes. These screens were designed to show data that is used most
often. Many of the navigation, mapping, and
windows screens can be customized to show
data other than the ones chosen by the fac-
tory. See the Reprogram Groups section for
more details.
The three default displays are shown on the
next page. To change displays, simply press
the MODE key. A screen similar to the one at
right appears. Now press the up or down ar-
