Getting Started Getting Started > Initializing the GPS Receiver Initializing the GPS Receiver When you turn on the GPSMAP 3206/3210, a Warning Page appears, showing unit information, network connections (attached devices), and important information regarding the proper use of the unit. It takes a few seconds for the GPSMAP 3206/3210 to search for attached devices. When the search is complete, the I Agree button is highlighted. After reading the warning, press ENTER. Next, you see the first of the main pages, the Map Page. The GPSMAP 3206/3210 begins searching for the GPS satellites. The first time the unit acquires satellites takes several minutes. Afterward, acquisition times are quicker during normal use. The GPS status icon on the left side of the status bar shows the progress of the satellite acquisition process. GPS status icon colors are: • Red-acquiring satellites/lost satellite reception. • Orange-ready for navigation/ready for navigation with WAAS. • Gray-lost GPS connection. (Check GPS antenna wiring connections.) The GPS tab on the Main Menu contains a detailed visual reference of the satellite acquisition, GPS receiver status, and accuracy. To view the GPS tab information: 1. Press and hold ADJ/MENU to open the Main Menu. 2. Use the ROCKER to highlight the GPS tab. When viewing the GPS Info sub tab, a signal strength bar for each satellite in view appears on the right side of the page, with the appropriate satellite number underneath each bar. The numbers below each bar represent the particular satellite that is being received. Numbers above 33 indicate WAAS satellites. For more information about WAAS, see page 103 in the "Appendix." The sky view shows a birds-eye view of the location of each satellite relative to the receiver's last known location. The outer circle represents the horizon (north up), the inner circle 45º above the horizon, and the center point a location directly overhead. You can also set the sky view to Track Up , which causes the top of the sky view to align along your current track heading. GPS status icon Status bar Status field GPS Tab The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages: • No signal strength bars-the receiver is looking for the satellites indicated. • Hollow signal strength bars-the receiver has found the indicated satellite(s) and is collecting data. • Solid green signal strength bars-the receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite(s) are ready for use.
