Map Mode Practice Run

Start outdoors, with a clear view of the open sky. As you practice, try navigating to a location a few blocks away. Navigation in too small a space, like a backyard, will constantly trigger arrival alarms.

4.Wait while unit locates satellites and calculates current position. Flash- ing question mark or data boxes indicate a position has not been deter- mined. Position calculation takes an average of one minute or less under clear sky conditions (unobstructed by terrain or structures.)
