For the GP-3300, at the first power application after installation, it takes about two minutes to acquire GPS satellite data, called the al- manac. While the unit is acquiring the almanac, the indication “CST” appears at the top of the display. “CST” is replaced by “2D” or “ACQ” after the almanac is acquired. If the vessel has moved more than 600 miles with the system turned off, reenter estimated position on the GPS INITIAL SETTINGS menu (key sequence: [MENU], [8], [ ]).

If asterisks appear instead of ship’s position data, this means there is no navigation input. Check to make sure proper navigation aid is selected on the INITIAL SETTINGS menu (keying sequence: [MENU], [8]).
