Satellite
The Satellite Page options include:
Use With GPS Off -
Use this option when you are
indoors, a clear view of the sky is obstructed, or you
want to save battery power. You can enter data, create
routes, etc., but cannot navigate in this mode.
Track Up/ North Up -
You can orient the satellite
skyview by selecting ‘Track Up’ (your direction of
travel) or ‘North Up’ (the satellite skyview oriented to
the north).
New Elevation -
You can manually enter a new,
more accurate elevation, if known, to increase posi-
tion accuracy.
New Location -
If you are more than 600 miles from
where you last used the unit, select the ‘New Loca-
tion’ and then the ‘Use Map’ options to approximate
your location. This gives the unit reference informa-
tion and speeds satellite acquisition.
