Starting Up the GPS Receiver
When you turn on the eTrex Vista C, the GPS receiver begins to
search for satellites in order to determine (fi x) its location. This process
is called “initialization” and can take from 5 to 15 minutes the fi rst time
you use your unit. Thereafter, if you haven’t moved more than 600 miles
from your original location, it takes only seconds to minutes. In order to
receive satellite signals, you must be outdoors and have a clear view of
the sky. Satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass)
or dense overhead tree cover. To shorten the time required for initializa-
tion, select “New Location” from the options menu, then use the Map
Page to determine your general location
so the eTrex Vista C can search
for those satellites above you.
T
o initialize your eTrex Vista C:
1. Press and release the POWER key to turn on the unit.
2. Observe the “Power On” Page followed by the Satellite Page.
The Satellite Page displays at Start-Up only; thereafter, it can be
accessed through the Main Menu.
3. While the GPS receiver is searching for the satellite signals, a
“Locating Satellites” message is replaced by an “Acquiring
Satel-
lites” message until enough signals are acquired to fi x its location.
You can also observe a sky view array of the satellites overhead with
your position centered in the array. The outer circle represents the hori-
zon and the inner circle a position 45
o
from the horizon. The numbers
displayed indicate the number assigned to each satellite. A bar graph
displays the strength of signals from each satellite.
