Starting Up the GPS Receiver
When you turn on the GPSmap 60, the GPS receiver begins to search
for satellites in order to determine (fix) its location. This process is called
“initialization” and can take up to 15 minutes the first 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 this first
initialization, select “New Location” from the options menu, then you
can use the Map Page to determine your general location
so the GPSmap
60 can search for just those satellites above your position.
T
o initialize your GPSmap 60:
1. Press and release the POWER key to turn on the unit.
2. Observe the “Power On” Page followed by the Satellite Page.
3. While the GPS receiver is searching for the satellite signals,
a “Locating Satellites” message followed by an “Acquiring
Satellites”appears until enough satellites signals are acquired
to fix its location.
You will also see a sky view array of the satellites overhead with your
position centered in the array. The outer circle represents the horizon 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.
