Initializing the GPS Receiver
When you turn on the GPSMAP 3206/3210, a Warning Page appears, showing
unit information, network connections (attached devices), and important
information regarding the proper use of the unit. It takes a few seconds for the
GPSMAP 3206/3210 to search for attached devices. When the search is complete,
the I Agree button is highlighted. After reading the warning, press ENTER.
Next, you see the rst of the main pages, the Map Page. The GPSMAP 3206/3210
begins searching for the GPS satellites. The rst time the unit acquires satellites
takes several minutes. Afterward, acquisition times are quicker during normal
use. The GPS status icon on the left side of the status bar shows the progress of
the satellite acquisition process.
GPS status icon colors are:
Red—acquiring satellites/lost satellite reception.
Orange—ready for navigation/ready for navigation with WAAS.
Gray—lost GPS connection. (Check GPS antenna wiring connections.)
The GPS tab on the Main Menu contains a detailed visual reference of the
satellite acquisition, GPS receiver status, and accuracy.
To view the GPS tab information:
1. PressandholdADJ/MENUtoopentheMainMenu.
2. UsetheROCKERtohighlighttheGPStab.
When viewing the GPS Info sub tab, a signal strength bar for each satellite in
view appears on the right side of the page, with the appropriate satellite number
underneath each bar. The numbers below each bar represent the particular satellite
that is being received. Numbers above 33 indicate WAAS satellites. For more
information about WAAS, see page 103 in the “Appendix.”
The sky view shows a birds-eye view of the location of each satellite relative to
the receivers last known location. The outer circle represents the horizon (north
up), the inner circle 45º above the horizon, and the center point a location directly
overhead. You can also set the sky view to Track Up , which causes the top of the
sky view to align along your current track heading.

No signal strength bars—the receiver is looking for the satellites
indicated.
Hollow signal strength bars
—the receiver has found the indicated
satellite(s) and is collecting data.
Solid green signal strength bars—the receiver has collected the necessary
data and the satellite(s) are ready for use.
