Getting Started Receiver Status and Accuracy The receiver status is shown in the Status field on the Info sub tab. Current accuracy is shown in the EPE (Estimated Position Error) field. Accuracy uses the number of received GPS satellites, signal strength, and satellite orientation, to calculate location accuracy in feet or meters. The Status field shows one of the following conditions: • Searching for Satellites­-the receiver is looking for any satellites and collecting data from satellites visible at its last known or initialized location, but has not collected enough data to calculate a fix. This process can take up to five minutes. • Ready For Navigation-at least three satellites with good geometry have been acquired, and your location is now being calculated in latitude and longitude; or at least four satellites have been acquired, and your location is being calculated in latitude, longitude, and elevation. "Ready For Navigation with WAAS" appears when you are receiving WAAS satellite corrections in 2D or 3D, and a D appears on the strength bar of satellites being corrected. After the receiver has collected information from at least three satellites, the Status field shows either "Ready for Navigation" or "Ready for Navigation with WAAS." The GPSMAP 3206/3210 is now ready for use. Press QUIT to return to the Map Page. GPS Setup The Setup sub tab provides access to functions and features relating to initializing the GPS receiver. To access the GPS Setup sub tab: 1. Press and hold ADJ/MENU to open the Main Menu. 2. Highlight the GPS tab, and then highlight the Setup sub tab. Getting Started > Initializing the GPS Receiver Setup Sub Tab The Setup sub tab contains the following options: Skyview Orientation-allows you to select a sky view orientation, either North Up or Track Up, for the GPS Info sub tab only. Source-set to Garmin when using a Garmin sensor (GPS 17); set to NMEA when using any other GPS NMEA source. WAAS-turns WAAS on or off. The following soft keys are active only when the unit is not receiving satellites and the Source is not set to Garmin: • AutoLocate-allows the receiver to find your location automatically. This process can take up to five minutes. • Set Position-allows you to initialize the receiver from the Map Page to initially help the receiver acquire satellites more quickly.

Receiver Status and Accuracy
The receiver status is shown in the Status field on the Info sub tab. Current
accuracy is shown in the EPE (Estimated Position Error) field. Accuracy uses
the
number of received GPS satellites, signal strength, and satellite orientation, to
calculate location accuracy in feet or meters. The Status field shows one of the
following conditions:
Searching for Satellites
—the receiver is looking for any satellites and
collecting data from satellites visible at its last known or initialized
location, but has not collected enough data to calculate a fix. This process
can take up to five minutes.
Ready For Navigation
—at least three satellites with good geometry have
been acquired, and your location is now being calculated in latitude and
longitude; or at least four satellites have been acquired, and your location
is being calculated in latitude, longitude, and elevation. “Ready For
Navigation with WAAS” appears when you are receiving WAAS satellite
corrections in 2D or 3D, and a D appears on the strength bar of satellites
being corrected.
After the receiver has collected information from at least three satellites, the
Status
field shows either “Ready for Navigation” or “Ready for Navigation with
WAAS.” The GPSMAP 3206/3210 is now ready for use. Press
QUIT
to return to
the Map Page.
GPS Setup
The
Setup
sub tab provides access to functions and features relating to initializing
the GPS receiver.
To access the GPS Setup sub tab:
1. Press and hold
ADJ/MENU
to open the Main Menu.
2. Highlight the
GPS
tab, and then highlight the
Setup
sub tab.

Setup Sub Tab
The Setup sub tab contains the following options:
Skyview Orientation
—allows you to select a sky view orientation, either
North
Up
or
Track Up,
for the GPS Info sub tab only.
Source
—set to
Garmin
when using a Garmin sensor (GPS 17); set to
NMEA
when using any other GPS NMEA source.
WAAS
—turns WAAS on or off.
The following soft keys are active only when the unit is not receiving satellites
and the Source is not set to
Garmin
:
AutoLocate
—allows the receiver to find your location automatically. This
process can take up to five minutes.
Set Position
—allows you to initialize the receiver from the Map Page to
initially help the receiver acquire satellites more quickly.
