Screen 5: Latitude
The console uses latitude along with longitude to determine your location,
allowing it to adjust the forecast and calculate the times for sunset and sun-
rise.
• Latitude measures distance north or south of the equator.
• Latitude is used with longitude to identify your position on earth.
If you do not know your latitude and longitude, there are several ways to
find out. Many atlases and maps include latitude and longitude lines. You
can also talk to the reference department of your local library, call your
local airport, or search on the Internet. The more accurate you are, the bet-
ter; however, a reasonable estimate will work, too.
1. Press the right and left arrows to move between fields.
2. Press the up and down arrows to change the settings up or down.
3. To select the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, press 2ND and then
UNITS.
