Basic GPS Operations | Eagle Electronics 350 S/MAP manual

Section 6: Basic GPS Operations

This section addresses the unit's most basic GPS operations. Sec. 7, Advanced GPS Operations, will discuss other more advanced functions and utilities.

Before you turn on the Cuda 350 and find where you are, it is a good idea to learn about the different keys, the five GPS Pages and how they all work together. BUT, if you just can't wait to get outside, turn to the one-page Quick Reference on page 99.
