Initialisation of GPS receiver (first receiving)
Before you use your navigation help for the first time, the MAP600
must determine his own position like all other GPS receivers
automatically. Your MAP 600 must execute this process
(initialisation) always, if the device has been transported after
the last use turned off to a remote place (more than 500 km) or
the device wasn't taken into operation over a longer time period
(1 month).
This procedure must be passed through after the purchase of
your device once and can last for some minutes. In the later use
this process takes no longer so much time since , because the
MAP 600 can determine its position data faster.
If the initialisation has been successful, you only have to switch
on the device for later operation.
1. Press Two times the
button or one time the
button,
move the Cursor up or down to the field
Main Menu
and
confirm with
.

confirm with
. The initialisation is
started and in the Satellite page the
message
Acquiring Sats
.. appears.

Establishing your position
As far as the MAP 600 received 3 or more Satellites, it can
calculate it´s position and the display automaticaly changes to
the Mappage. Until now the device is ready for Navigation. The
Mappage showes the position and the direction of the trip with
respect to the card view.
