Pressing GPS STATUS in Main Menu, followed by SET POSN, accesses this Screen.
The SET POSN key will not be available if the GPS has acquired a fix.
On entry to this Screen a cursor is positioned over the first character of the latitude as
shown above. The joystick can then be used to increment or decrement values and to
move the cursor right and left.
Alternatively you can press Key 4 VIEW MAP and using the joystick, simply point at your
present position.
