IMPORTANT ALARM NOTES:
Anchor Alarm – The anchor alarm may be triggered even when
you're sitting still. This can happen when using small (less than
0.05 mile) anchor alarm ranges.
Arrival Alarm – If you set the arrival alarm's distance to a small
number and run a route this unit may not show navigation data to
the next waypoint after you have arrived at the first one. That will
be the case if you are unable to come close enough to the first way-
point to trip the arrival alarm.
Auto Satellite Search
To lock onto the satellites, the GPS receiver needs to know its current
position, UTC time and date. Elevation (altitude) is also used in the
equation, but it is rarely required to determine a position. It needs this
data so it can calculate which satellites should be in view. It then
searches for only those satellites.
When your GPS receiver is turned on for the first time, it does not
know what your position or elevation (altitude) is. The unit begins
searching for the satellites using data acquired the last time it was
turned on. This was probably at the factory. Since it is almost certain
you are not at our factory, it is probably looking for the wrong satel-
lites.
If it does not find the satellites it is looking for after a short time, it
switches to Auto Search. The receiver looks for any satellite in the sky.
Due to advanced technology, the auto search time has shrunk signifi-
cantly from the early days of GPS.
Once the unit locks onto the satellites, it should take less than a minute to
find your position the next time it is turned on, provided you have not
moved more than approximately 100 miles from the last location it was
used.
