OPERATION
Turning Power On
To turn the GlobalMap Sport™ on, simply
press the PWR key. A screen similar to the
one at right appears. Read the message
on the screen, then press the EXIT key to
erase it. The GlobalMap Sport™ is now
ready for use.
MENUS
Most of the GlobalMap Sport™'s adjust-
ments and features are found on "menus".
Pressing the MENU key lets you view the
menus. Different menus items are added
to the basic list, depending on which mode
(mapping, navigation, or windows) the unit
is in. This gives you the features that are
specific to the mode you are in, but also
has items that are used on all modes.
To erase the menu, simply press the EXIT
key.
Finding Your Position
Cold Start
When the GlobalMap Sport™ is turned on for the very first time, it doesn't
know where it is, nor what the local time or date is. If you tell it your posi-
tion, time, and date, the unit will take much less time to lock-on to the
satellites and give you a fix or position.
However, if you don't want to push buttons at this time, that's fine. The
GlobalMap Sport™ will lock onto the satellites and give you a position
without any input from you. This is called a "cold-start". It simply means
that the unit is searching without help for the satellites that are in orbit. A
cold-start can take up to 15 minutes to acquire enough satellite data to
determine your position, although it typically takes less time than that.
Once the GlobalMap Sport™ locks on to the satellites and finds your
position, it stores the satellite data in its memory. The next time you use
the unit, it should take much less time to lock on.
