Go for a Test Walk
Test your knowledge of GPS 100 basics by taking a walk around the block.
1. Load batteries per instructions and take your GPS 100 outdoors. Be sure you have
a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Turn your unit on by pressing and holding
the POWER button for 2 seconds. Allow time for your GPS 100 to acquire satellite
lock and a "fix" of your current location. When ready the unit will automatically
switch to the Map page. (Remember, you can toggle among the 5 main pages by
pressing the PAGE button.)
2. From the Map page, experiment by selecting options per instructions. For example,
you may want to mark your current location as your first waypoint, and then walk
around your neighborhood marking various points along your path from start point
to end point. (See diagram below.) Then navigate back to your start point by
accessing the Nav Data page, and selecting Navigate and REVERSE to lead you back
the way you came.
Note: When navigating back to your original start point, intentionally walk off
course to familiarize yourself with how the unit shows you where you are relative
to the route or track as shown on the Gauges page.
Keep practicing until you are comfortable using the many features of your GPS 100.
Always refer to your GPS 100 User's Manual for more detailed instructions.
