Use WAAS/EGNOS
The iFINDER HUNTc has a new feature that allows users to turn
WAAS and EGNOS reception on and off. The default value is on. EG-
NOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) is the
European equivalent of WAAS. Like WAAS, it makes GPS position
calculation more accurate. To determine the accuracy in your area,
place yourself in a known location and turn on the GPS. Note your lo-
cation on the map with WAAS/EGNOS on, then turn it off and check
again. Use the setting that is most accurate in your area.
To Turn off WAAS or EGNOS:
1. Press MENU | MENU |
↓ to
GPS S ETUP
| ENT .
2. Press
↓ to
U SE WAAS/EGNOS | ENT , which will turn on (check) or turn
off (uncheck) the feature. Press EXIT to clear the menus. Note that this
setting can only be accessed in Advanced Mode or Hunting Mode.
Coordinate System Selection
The Coordinate System Menu lets you select the coordinate system to
use when displaying and entering position coordinates. Access this
function only in Advanced Mode.
