Compute Initial Position. For this operation, it is best if you are outside and
have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, this will
take much longer and could result in the eXplorist being unable to compute
the initial position automatically.
The eXplorist begins to compute your initial position. This may take a few
minutes as it is doing a
cold start .
Normally, when you first turn the eXplorist on it will compute your position
in a manner of seconds as it is able to do a
warm start . (An explanation of
cold start vs. warm start is explained following this section.)
The Satellite Status screen is displayed, showing you the progress of the
collection of satellite data.
The Satellite Status screen will continuously update and you will be able to
graphically see how well your eXplorist is performing.
When the eXplorist has enough information to compute a position fix, the
Satellite Status screen is replaced with the Map screen. The arrow cursor in
the center of the Map screen represents your position. As you move, the
arrow will point in the direction you are traveling.
Tip: Use the ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT buttons to change the map scale to
better see your present position.
Satellite Status screen shows
how many satellites are being
tracked as well as the relative
strength of the signal.
