Basic Operation Because the MAP 330 attains information it needs from satellites orbiting the earth, the antenna needs to have a relatively unobstructed view of the sky. This allows the MAP 330 to choose from all satellites currently available. If the view of the sky is poor, (large cliffs or buildings, heavy foliage or other obstructions) the satellite signals can be blocked and the receiver may take longer to compute a position fix. You can observe the signal strength and the satellites being used on the Satellite Status screen (described in the next section). Holding the MAP 330. The receiver is designed to fit comfortably in your hand. Hold the MAP 330 in the palm of your hand with the antenna pointing towards the sky.

More detailed information on the different screens can be found in the Reference chapter. Map Screen . The Map screen has two modes, position or cursor. In the position mode, your present position is indicated by the large arrow icon in the center of the display. If you are moving, the arrow will point in the direction that you are heading.
