2 What is GPS? GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite-based navigation system developed by the U. S. Department of Defense to provide a consistent, accurate method of simplifying navigation. Originally designed for military applications, it also pro- vides commercial and recreational users with 24-hour, worldwide navigation cover- age with [...]

3 The GPS 45 is a powerful navigation tool that can guide you anywhere in the world. T o better understand its operation and capabilities, it may be help- ful to review the basic ter ms and concepts briefl y explained below . Navigation is the process of traveling from one place to another and knowing where you are in relation to your desired cour[...]

The first time you power up your new GPS 45 is an important step in getting the best possible GPS performance. The r eceiver must be given an oppor - tunity to collect satellite almanac data and establish its present position. This pr ocess can take 7 1/2-15 minutes, and is only necessary for first time opera- tion or after memory loss. T ake the[...]

The sky view will help you determine if a satellite sig- nal is being blocked by buildings, mountains or other obstructions. As satellites are locked onto, the sky view indicators will change from a reverse-video highlight to a standard display. If you encounter difficulty acquiring satellite signals, try facing another direc- tion or walk towards [...]

Getting to know your new GPS is as easy as tak- ing a quick stroll ar ound an open outdoor area. T o get the most out of this tutorial, make sure to walk for at least the time noted for each step. This way , you’ll reduce the chances of staying within the receiver’ s mar gin of err or. Y ou’ll also get a much better indication of the unit’ [...]

Now that you’ve marked a position, it’ s time to take of f on a brisk walk and put your GPS 45 through its paces. 1. Walk in a straight line for 2-3 minutes at a fast pace and watch the Position Page. You can time your distance with the on-screen clock. The direction you ar e moving (your track) and your speed ar e displayed on the upper part o[...]

Now let’ s navigate back to our starting position, the HOME waypoint. 1. Press the G key. 2. The Navigation Page will appear with the way- point field highlighted. 3.
