Initializing the GPS Receiver

The first time you turn on your GPSMAP 60CSx, the
GPS receiver must collect satellite data and establish
its current location. To ensure proper initialization,
the GPSMAP 60CSx is shipped from the factory in
AutoLocate mode, which allows the receiver to "find
itself" anywhere on Earth. To receive satellite signals,
you must be outdoors and have a clear view of the
sky.
To initialize your GPSMAP 60CSx:
1. Press and hold the POWER key to turn on the
GPSMAP 60CSx.
2. Hold the unit in front of you with the top tilted
upward. While the GPS receiver is searching
for the satellite signals, a "Locating Satellites"
message is replaced by an "Acquiring
Satellites" message until enough signals are
acquired to fix its location.
When the receiver has signals from at least
three satellites, the display at the top of the
page changes to indicate position accuracy
and location coordinates.

3. Press and release the PAGE key until the Map
Page appears. You are now ready to begin
GPS aided navigation.
You can also observe a sky view array of the satellites
overhead with your location centered in the array. The
outer circle represents the horizon and the inner circle
a position 45 degrees from the horizon. The numbers
shown indicate the number assigned to each satellite.
A bar graph at the bottom of the page shows the
strength of signals from each satellite.
The outer
circle
represents
the horizon.
The inner
circle is a
location 45
degrees from
the horizon.
If the unit cannot get a satellite fix, a list of solutions
appears. Select an appropriate solution and press
ENTER to continue.
