WHAT IS GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of 24 satellites that circle the earth
twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit information to earth. The Forerunner must
continuously “see” at least three of these satellites to calculate your location and track your
movement. At times, additional satellites may be needed to determine a location. If some of
the satellites in view get blocked or “shaded,” the receiver can simply use an alternate satellite
to maintain the location fi x.
Because the Forerunner relies on satellite signals to provide you with navigation guidance,
the receiver needs to have an unobstructed, clear view of the sky for best performance. In
a nutshell, the GPS receiver’s view of the sky will generally determine how fast you get a
location fi x- or if you get a fi x at all. GPS signals are relatively weak and do not travel through
rocks, buildings, people or metal, so remember to keep a clear view of the sky at all times for
best performance.
Your Forerunner needs to be given the opportunity to fi nd itself (“initialized”). Once you
initialize the unit to a location, it typically computes a fi x within a couple minutes.
Longer initialization is only necessary:
• The fi rst time you use your Forerunner (new from the factory).
• After the receiver has been moved over 500 miles (with the power off from the last time
you used it.
