The select initialization window will appear, with the ‘select from map’ option
highlighted.
1. Press T to initialize the receiver from the built-in worldwide map.
The map page will appear, prompting you to select your approximate present posi-
tion with the map cursor.
1. Use the R keypad to move the map cursor to a location close to your present position. If you
have difficulty identifying your exact position, use the bottom arrow of the Z key to zoom in to a
lower map scale.
2. Press T to confirm your selection.
The GPSMAP 130 will now begin searching for the appropriate satellites for your
present position and should acquire a fix within a minute or so. While the receiver
searches for satellites, a flashing satellite icon will appear at the left-hand side of the
status bar. A signal strength bar will also appear for each satellite in view, with the
appropriate satellite number under each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition is
shown in three stages:
• No signal strength bars— the receiver is looking for the satellites indicated.
• Hollow signal strength bars— the receiver has found the indicated satellite(s) and is
collecting data.
• Solid signal strength bars— the receiver has collected the necessary data and the
satellite(s) is ready for use.
Once the receiver has collected information from at least three satellites, the flashing
satellite icon on the status bar will glow steadily, and the GPSMAP 130 is ready
for use.
