Basic GPS Quick Reference
Start outdoors, with a clear view of the open sky. As you practice, try
navigating to a location at least a few blocks away. While you're learn-
ing, navigation in too small an area will constantly trigger arrival

sure the MMC is in. See complete installation details beginning on
page 11.

GPS signal reception. When the unit acquires position, a tone sounds
and a position acquired message appears.
