Battery Cover Start-Up and Satellite Acquisition Find a location where you have a clear view of the sky. If you're starting up for the first time or you have moved over 600 miles since last using the GPSmap 60, it must initialize (determine its location by searching for satellites that are in position over your current location). Press the MENU key to use the Location option from the Satellite Page Options Menu to mark your approximate location on the Map Page so it looks for only those satellites above your location. 1. Turn On the GPSmap 60 by pressing and releasing the POWER key. A Welcome Page will briefly appear before moving to the Satellite Page. 2. Observe the Satellite Page and the GPS status messages as they appear at the top of the page. • "Acquiring Satellites" message appears as the GPSmap 60 begins to search for satellites overhead. • Your "Location Coordinates" display when four or more satellites are fixed (enough to determine an approximate elevation as well as ground location). If the GPSmap 60 can't get past the "Acquiring Satellites" message or you get a "Lost Satellite Signal" message, move to a new location away from tall overhead obstacles. Status Bar 3D GPS indicator Received Satellite icon Position Bug indicates your direction of movement Satellite Signal Strength Bars Satellite Page Options • Turn GPS Off • Orient display to your direction of movement "Track Up" or...
