Position Page
The position page displays your current position' s lat-
itude, longitude, altitude and time. It also displays your
ground track and speed whenever you're moving.
The position page lets you enter a position' s latitude
and longitude manually. During satellite acquisition, the
position displayed is the last computed position stored in
memory. To speed up the acquisition process, you can
enter a more accurate initial position or reference airport
(see page 7). At a minimum, be sure to accurately enter
the latitude and longitude to the nearest degree.
To manually enter a position:
1. Highlight the position field and press
2. Use the arrow keys to enter the new position and press
E
to confirm.
When the GPS 92 is acquiring satellites or navigating
in the 2D mode, the last known altitude will be used to
compute your position. You may also manually enter an
altitude. Keep in mind that GPS altitude may vary signif-
icantly from pressure altimeters. Never use GPS altitude
for vertical navigation.
To enter an altitude manually:
1. Highlight the altitude field and press
2. Use the arrow keys to enter the altitude and press
E
to confirm.
The position page also features a resettable trip odome-
ter to measure the total distance traveled while navigating.
To reset the trip odometer:
1. Highlight the trip field and press
2. Press the left arrow key while the highlight is on the left
most character position and press
The trip odometer and altitude fields may be reconfig-
ured to display average speed (AVSPD), maximum speed
(MXSPD), trip time (TTIME) or elapsed time (ELPSD).
To change the trip odometer or altitude fields:
1. Highlight the field you wish to change and press
2. Select the desired option with the up or down arrow
keys and press
