DST

. This feature allows your unit

to automatically adjust with the time change caused by Daylight Sav-

ing Time. You should only have to set it once.
You may select which set of rules matches DST in your region, or ac-

cept the default. Once you have each field set the way you want, press

EXIT

repeatedly until you return to the previous page.

Show WAAS Alarm

When the signal is available, the unit will automatically use WAAS to

boost the accuracy of your position fix. When the WAAS signal is lost or

acquired, an alarm message appears. It's not unusual for a GPS/WAAS

receiver to frequently lose and reacquire its lock on a WAAS satellite.
That can result in the alarm repeatedly going on and off. If you want,

you have the option of turning off the WAAS Acquired/Lost alarm

without affecting how the unit uses WAAS. Here's how:
