Basic GPS Operations

This section addresses the unit's GPS operations. Before you turn on the unit and find where you are, it's a good idea to learn about the dif- ferent keys, the four GPS 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 79.
