Section 1 - Garmin Gpsmap 78S Setup - Garmin GPSmap 78s Setup And User Manual

GARMIN GPSmap 78s
These notes cover the GPS essentials for Peking to Paris 2013.
This edition applies to the Garmin 78s. See the Garmin 76 notes
if you are using a Garmin 76
In the regions where GPS is necessary to navigate the Peking to
Paris route the requirements are entirely different from the GPS
navigation used in many modern cars. Follow these instructions
even if you are a regular GPS user for your day-to-day driving.
Before attending the Training Day or practising with your GPS it
must be setup so that its operation corresponds with the Route
Book and any instructions provided by the Organisers.
Unless a choice is suggested we advise you not to vary the
recommended settings until you are familiar with your GPS.
Apart from these settings the Garmin 78s has a very large
number of user options that you can alter to your preference. We
strongly recommend that you use your Garmin as much as
possible before the event to become familiar with its operation.
The Garmin 78s Owner's Manual provides a great deal of additional & valuable information
that should be used to supplement these notes.
