Start-Up and Satellite Acquisition
Find a location where you have a clear view of the sky. If you're
starting up for the first time or you have moved over 600 miles since
last using the GPSMAP 60Cx, it must initialize (determine its loca-
tion by searching for satellites that are in position over your current
location.) Press the MENU key to use the Location option from the
Satellite Page Options Menu to mark your approximate location on
the Map Page so it looks for only those satellites above your location.
1. Turn On the GPSMAP 60Cx by pressing and releasing the
POWER key. A Welcome Page will briefly appear before
moving to the Satellite Page.
2. Observe the Satellite Page and the GPS status messages
as they appear at the top of the page.
• "Acquiring Satellites" message appears as the GPSmap
60C begins to search for satellites overhead.
• Your "Location Coordinates" display when four or
more satellites are fixed (enough to determine an ap-
proximate elevation as well as ground location).
