When to use Restart GPS:
•
When the eXplorist has been moved more then 500 miles (804.67 km) while turned off.
•
When the eXplorist is sluggish and takes more then a few minutes to compute its first position fix when
turned on. (This really isn't an option that you need to be concerned about. The eXplorist has a built-
in feature that when it has trouble computing its first position fix, it automatically asks you to supply
the approximate position.)

Note: Time is one of the first pieces of information transmitted by the satellites
and even without enough satellite information to compute a position fix, the
time displayed may have already been corrected.
