Entering
a Seed
Position
After the start up tests, you will always have the
choice of entering a Seed Position. The Seed
Position is a starting reference point so the GPS
receiver knows what satellites to look for. If a Seed
Position has been previously entered, you do not
need to select a new Present Position or a Reference
Waypoint. If you do not make any selections, the
Apollo GX55 will automatically progress into the
Navigation function.
1. The previous Seed Position will display with the
choice of SEL to change the Seed Position or
ENTER to accept the previous position. If you
don’t do anything, the Apollo GX55 will continue
normally. You can also press ENTER to accept the
current position, though this is not required.
