POSITION

The Present Position function displays latitude, longitude, GPS altitude, reference
waypoint, type, distance, direction, and bearing. The reference waypoint is designed to
display the current position in relation to a prominent landmark. The pilot can change
the reference waypoint 'Nearest Type' using the 'Change Nearest Type' menu option.
By default the Nearest Type is set to 'Automatic', which will display the nearest large
airport, enroute VOR, or city (in that order).
Changing the Nearest Type:
1) From the 'Home' Screen, touch Position > Menu > Change Nearest
Type.
2) Touch the desired nearest type ('Automatic', 'Airport', 'VOR', 'NDB',
'Intersection', 'City', or 'Waypoint').
Viewing the present position:
From the 'Home' Screen, touch Position.

NEW LOCATION

The 'New Location' menu option is used when the GPS Receiver is having trouble
finding the satellites it expects to be there.
