Calibrating the Electronic Compass
The Electronic Compass must be calibrated outdoors when you fi rst
use the GPSmap 60CS and after new batteries have been installed. The
accuracy of the Electronic Compass is adversely affected if the unit is not
held level or you are near objects that generate magnetic fi elds, such as
cars and buildings, etc.
To Calibrate the Electronic Compass:
1. Use the MENU key to access the Options Menu.
2. Use the ROCKER key to highlight the "Calibrate Compass"
option and press ENTER to display the Calibration Page.
3. Press ENTER to activate the 'Start' button and then follow on-
screen directions for holding and turning the unit.
The unit displays a "Just Right", "Too Fast" or "Too Slow" mes-
sage for you to adjust your turning speed as needed. Remem-
ber to hold the unit level while turning.
If you are turning the unit too slow or too fast, a message will
appear to advise you.
