Master Reset; Test Mode - Garmin GPSmap 78s Setup And User Manual

Peking to Paris 2013 - Garmin 78s GPS Setup & Use Guide
EXTRA STUFF
COMPASS PAGE - BEARING or COURSE POINTER
The Compass page 'Go To Line' pointer can be displayed in different ways. The author
recommends using the large Bearing Pointer, although some crews prefer the Course (CDI)
pointer. You may wish to experiment with these options. Change the pointer from the Setup
>> Heading page.
Bearing pointer – The arrow indicates the direction to the next Waypoint. With the pointer
straight up you are heading straight towards the next point, otherwise turn in the direction of
the arrow.
Course (CDI) pointer – The pointer acts in a similar manner to the Bearing pointer but the
centre section splits away to indicate your drift away from the direct line to the next point.
Also shown is a Course Deviation Indicator. Zoom in and out to change the CDI scale.
WHERE AM I ?
If you need help it is essential that you can accurately report your
position. Provided your GPS is on and working your position is
indicated on the top of the Satellite screen as in this example.
TRACKS
Saving Tracks – Main Menu >> Current Track >> Save Track.
Tracks can also be Archived, saving them in memory but removing
them from the favourites list.
Clearing Tracks – Track Manager has an option to Delete All,
Current and Archived tracks but this does not clear the Current
Track Record. Clear the Current Track from Reset on the Setup
menu.
Do not operate either of the following without good reason

MASTER RESET

Press ENTER and PAGE while powering up to perform a master reset.
Only use in extreme cases, if for example your GPS completely freezes and cannot be
brought back to life by turning off & on again. The GPS will require 20 minutes or more static
use in the open to re-acquire almanac data. The GPS resets to factory settings – all
configuration and stored data is lost and it may be some time before the Organisers are able
to reload the GPS data.

TEST MODE

Hold ENTER while powering up to enter test mode. PAGE and QUIT will sequence through
various test screens.
