PINPOINT GPS STARTUP
The global positioning system (GPS) is a satellite‑based navigation system
capable of providing positional information anywhere on Earth, provided that
the GPS receiver has a clear line of sight to at least four GPS satellites.
When the trolling motor is powered up and deployed, it is immediately capable
of operating as a conventional trolling motor. The trolling motor will require
between 30 seconds to 10 minutes to acquire a fixed GPS position, depending
on how much time has passed since the unit was powered up. Having a clear
view of the sky overhead, with no large trees, power lines, bridges, mountain
ranges, or buildings to interfere with the GPS signal, will improve the GPS
accuracy and reduce the amount of time required to obtain a fixed GPS
position. Once the unit has acquired a fixed GPS position, the GPS accuracy
will continually improve for several minutes. It is recommended to power up the
trolling motor as soon as possible before operation to allow the fixed GPS
position to become as accurate as possible.
