Magellan GPS 300 User Manual - Page 10

completed the initialization process or have just turned your GPS 300 on, the GPS 300 will display the following screens in the order shown. As the GPS 300 searches for satellites, some of the small circles around the large circle will become black indicating that the GPS 300 is tracking that satellite and receiving information. The number at the bottom right of the screen displays how many satellites are being tracked. After the GPS receiver has received positioning data from at least three satellites (approximately 2-3 minutes), it will begin computing a position fix based upon the information it is receiving. As soon as a position fix is computed, the receiver switches to the navigation screen displaying the moving compass. The word "TRACKING" is displayed in the lower right corner indicating that the receiver is computing position fixes. Note: If the receiver has not acquired a position fix in approximately 10 minutes, refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual. More information on these screens and the information they display can be found in the next chapter. 6
