The Satellites Page
System (WAAS) is system of satellites and ground
stations that correct GPS signals to improve accuracy.
For more information about GPS and WAAS, visit the
DeLorme Wiki (wiki.delorme.com).
The GPS status is based on the satellite acquisition
status:
GPS Off–The GPS receiver is turned off.
No Fix–The GPS cannot nd sufcient satellite data to
determine your current GPS position.
2-D–The GPS connection is successful, but the
connection quality is not as good as a 3-D x.
Move your receiver to another location to get better
reception.
3-D–The GPS is receiving sufcient satellite data
(horizontal position and elevation) to determine your
location.
When the letter W appears below 2-D or 3-D, the PN-Series
GPS has a WAAS connection (available only in North
America) that provides up to ve times greater position
accuracy than a regular 2-D or 3-D connection.
To set the current location
If it takes a long time for the PN-Series GPS to obtain
a 2-D or 3-D x, verify it has a clear view of the sky.
Be sure that trees, buildings, and other obstacles are
not blocking the device.
If the device still cannot obtain a 2-D or 3-D x, go to
MENU > Set Current Location. When the Map Page
displays; pan the map to your current location and press
ENTER.
If the PN-Series GPS is unable to acquire a x after
approximately ten minutes, you will be prompted to
disable the GPS or continue searching for satellites.
To disable GPS
You can use many features on the PN-Series GPS
without a GPS x. When GPS mode is turned off, GPS
OFF displays on the screen and all satellites are removed
from the satellite constellation.
There are two ways to disable the GPS.
From the Satellites Page go to MENU > Disable GPS.
From any page, go to MENU > Device Setup >
System > GPS Settings > Disable GPS.
To turn on GPS mode, follow the same steps and select
Enable GPS.
GPS is temporarily disabled when in simulation mode
(during track playback and navigation simulation).
Time
You can change the time format, time zone, and manually
enable or disable Daylight Saving Time. The time is auto-
matically set from GPS satellites and is highly accurate.
