Getting Started Tour
Now that you’ve seen the primary pages, let’s get
started by taking a simple tour to show you the basics
about using your GPS12. The tour assumes that your
unit has been turned on and that none of the factory
settings ( units of measure, selectable fields, etc.) have
been changed. If these settings have been changed, the
pictures and descriptions you see in this manual may
not match what you see on your screen.
Turning the GPS 12 On
1. Press
B
until the receiver turns on.
The welcome page will appear while the unit con-
ducts a self test. Once testing is complete, the Satellite
Page will appear. When sufficient satellite signals have
been acquired, the Satellite Page will be replaced by the
Position Page.
Marking a Position with defaults
GPS is really about marking and going to places
called waypoints. Before we can use our GPS 12 to
guide us somewhere, we have to mark a position as a
waypoint. (Your GPS 12 can hold up to 500 waypoints.)
To mark your present position:
1. Press the
M
key. The mark position page will
appear, with a default three-digit name for the new
waypoint in the upper-left portion of the page. You can
save the waypoint with the default name and symbol
at this time by highlighting ‘SAVE’ and pressing
E
.
To rename the waypoint:
1. Highlight the name field, and press
E
.
2. Enter the waypoint name ‘HOME’, and press
E
.
(See pg. 5 for data entry.) The waypoint symbol field
will become highlighted.
Each waypoint may also be assigned a custom way-
point symbol for easy waypoint recognition on the map.
To change the waypoint symbol:
1. Highlight the waypoint symbol field, and press
E
.
2. Select the house symbol, and press
E
.
3. Move the cursor to the ‘DONE?’ prompt, and press
E
.
