FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
This chapter describes some of the most important functions
of the GEONAV, as well as the terms most commonly used in
this document.
Switching on/Switching off the unit
To switch the GEONAV on, press the PWR key. To switch it
off, keep the PWR key pressed for more than 1 second.
Internal or external GPS
GPS inside
model
To make the installation easy, the GEONAV can use either its
Sun
own internal GPS receiver (if available) or an external receiver,
5C
depending on where the unit is to be installed (indoor or out-
door).
To select the internal/external GPS, press PAGE to display the menu,
select SETUP, then GPS INT or GPS EXT.
Depth sounder
When in depth sounder mode, the GEONAV displays the naviga-
tion window in the screen upper part, and, in the bottom part, the
sea depth in graphic form.
The depth value can be expressed in meters (selected by default),
feet and fathoms; press PAGE to display the menu, select SETUP
and then DEPTH UNITS (M/FT/FA).
Navigation mode (Automatic)
The GEONAV enters the Navigation mode as soon as the internal
or external GPS receiver transmits a valid fix; when in Navigation
mode:
• The manual cursor is not displayed
• The depth sounder window can be accessed
This mode is also called automatic because the unit automati-
cally selects the chart scale and updates the boat's position on
the screen.
