Getting Started Tour
Now that you are familiar with the primary pages,
it’s time to take a tour. This is a live tour and is to be
conducted with your unit installed and with the boat in
the water. The tour will take you through the receiver’s
basic features and functions as you move about on the
water and assumes that the GPS 126/128 is turned on
and initialized, (see page 52 for initialization proce-
dure) and that you have not changed any of the factory
settings (units of measure, selectable fields, etc.). If
these settings have been changed, the pictures and
descriptions in this manual may not match what you
see on your screen.
Navigation Simulator
If you are not able to take the Getting Started Tour
with your boat in the water, you may use the built-in
navigation simulator to practice using the GPS
126/128. To use the simulator, see page 51.
Marking a Position
To begin the tour, let’s take the position you have
acquired (either by just initializing the unit or by hav-
ing turned the unit on) and mark it as a waypoint for
future reference.
1. Press the
M
key to capture and hold your position.
To mark a position, you must have obtained a
2D or 3D fix, or have the receiver in simulator
mode. If you try to mark a position without a
position fix, you will be alerted with a ‘No GPS
Position’ message.
The mark position page will appear, showing the
captured position and a default 3-digit waypoint name.
Let’s change the default name to something a little more
meaningful, like ‘DOCK’.
2. Press the down arrow once to move the field highlight
from the ‘SAVE?’ field to the name field.
