Section 3: Basic GPS Operations

This section addresses the unit's most basic GPS operations. The tuto- rials presented in Sec. 3 follow a chronological order. Sec. 4, Advanced GPS Operations, will discuss other more advanced functions and utili- ties. Material in Sec. 4 is arranged in alphabetical order.

Before you turn on the unit and find where you are, it's a good idea to learn about the different keys, the three Page screens 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 34.
