This process can take up to five minutes. Settings • Acquiring Satellites-The receiver is looking for, and collecting, data from satellites visible at the last known or initialized position, but has not collected enough data to calculate a fix. • 2D Navigation-At least three satellites with good geometry have been acquired and a two-dimensional position fix (latitude and longitude) is being calculated. • 3D Navigation-At least four satellites with good geometry have been acquired and your position is now being calculated in latitude, longitude and altitude. • Poor Satellite Reception-The receiver is no longer tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fix. • Receiver Not Usable-The receiver is unusable, possibly due to interference or abnormal satellite conditions.

Looking For Satellites
AutoLocate
®
—The receiver does not know your previous
location. This process can take up to five minutes.
•
•
Acquiring Satellites
—The receiver is looking for, and
collecting, data from satellites visible at the last known or
initialized position, but has not collected enough data to calculate
a fix.
2D Navigation
—At least three satellites with good geometry
have been acquired and a two-dimensional position fix (latitude
and longitude) is being calculated.
3D Navigation
—At least four satellites with good geometry
have been acquired and your position is now being calculated in
latitude, longitude and altitude.
Poor Satellite Reception
—The receiver is no longer tracking
enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fix.
Receiver Not Usable
—The receiver is unusable, possibly due
to interference or abnormal satellite conditions. Turn the unit off
and back on to reset.
