prompt whenever a position fix has not been calculated (the
unit must be in searching, AutoLocate, acquiring, simulator

elled over 500 miles with the receiver off and you know it
must be initialized to your new position (the GPS 89 will also
automatically oRer the EZinit prompt after 10 minutes of
unsuccessful satellite acquisition).
