Initialize GPS

In simulator mode, this command allows the unit to operate as if you are somewhere other than your current location. You could be located in Kansas City, but practice navigating in the ocean off Islamorada, Florida.

1.Press MENUMENU↓ to GPS SETUPENTENT.

2.A message appears, telling you to move the cursor near the desired location and press ENT. When the message automatically clears, follow the instructions.

3.In a moment, your present position marker arrow appears on the map in the location you selected with the cursor. The unit will consider that spot its last known position until it actually locks on to a satellite or until you initialize the GPS in another location.

Map Auto Zoom

This receiver has an auto zoom feature that eliminates much of the but- ton pushing common with other brands of GPS receivers. It works in conjunction with the navigation feature.

First, start navigation to a waypoint. (See the waypoint section for more information on navigating to a waypoint.) Then, with the auto zoom mode on, the unit zooms out until the entire course shows, from the present position to the destination waypoint. As you travel toward the destination, the unit automatically begins zooming in — one zoom range at a time — always keeping the destination on the screen.

To turn on this feature from the MAP PAGE, press MENU↓ to AUTO ZOOMENT, which will turn on (check) or turn off (uncheck) the feature. Press EXIT to return to the map page display.
