IMPORTANT ALARM NOTES
Anchor Alarm - The anchor alarm may be triggered even when you are sitting still. This typically happens when using small (less than
.05 mile) anchor alarm ranges.
Arrival Alarm - If you set the arrival alarm's distance to a small number and you run a route (see the Navigate Routes segment), this unit may not show navigation data to the next waypoint, once you arrive at the first one. You may not be able to come close enough to the first waypoint to trip the arrival alarm.
Auto Satellite Search
To lock on to the satellites, the GPS receiver needs to know its current position, UTC time and date. (Elevation [altitude] is also used in the equation, but it's rarely required to determine a position.) It needs this data so that it can calculate which satellites should be in view. It then searches for only those satellites.
When your GPS receiver is turned on for the first time, it doesn't know what your position or elevation (altitude) is. It does know the current UTC time and date since these were programmed into it at the factory and an internal clock keeps the time while the unit is turned off. (If the time and/or date are incorrect, you can set them using the "Set Local Time" menu.)
The unit begins searching for the satellites using the above data that it acquired the last time it was turned on. This probably was at the fac- tory. Since it's almost certain that you're not at our factory, it's proba- bly looking for the wrong satellites.
If it doesn't find the satellites it's looking for after approximately one minute, it switches to Auto Search. The receiver looks for any satellite in the sky. Due to advanced technology, the auto search time has shrunk significantly from the early days of GPS.
Once the unit locks on to the satellites, it should take less than a minute to find your position the next time it's turned on, as long as you are ap- proximately 100 miles from the last location it was used.
