Using Position Information

Using the internal GPS unit or an externally connected GPS device, the positions of
group members within the sphere of communication can be shown in the compass
display. The position information of group members at the current point in time can be
saved in the memory for subsequent use in navigation.
Cautions
z When the data of the GPS satellites cannot be acquired, the position information cannot be displayed.
z Depending on the surrounding environment, a positioning error of several hundred meters may occur.
z This function is a simplified function that uses the data of the GPS satellites. Please use the positions
of other stations as a guide.
