Find Your Current Position

Finding your current position is as simple as turning the unit on. Un-

der clear sky conditions, the unit automatically searches for satellites

and calculates its position in approximately one minute or less. If for

some reason satellite acquisition takes longer, you may be inside a

structure or vehicle or in terrain that is blocking signal reception. To

correct this, be sure you are positioned so that the unit's antenna mod-

ule has as clear a view of the sky as possible, then turn the unit off and

back on again.
