[. . . ] WARNING: Do not begin navigating with this unit until the numbers have stopped flashing!102 The Satellite Status Page. This screen shows a graphical illustration of the satellites that are in view. Each satellite is shown on the circular chart relative to your position. The point in the center of the chart is directly overhead. The small inner ring represents 45° above the horizon and the large ring represents the horizon. You can use this to see which satellites are obstructed by obstacles in your immediate area if the unit is facing north. The GPS receiver is tracking satellites represented by a blue bar. The receiver hasn't locked onto a satellite if the number is a lighter shade; therefore, it isn't being used to solve the position. Beneath the circular graph are the bar graphs, one for each satellite in view. Since the unit has twelve channels, it can dedicate one channel per visible satellite. The taller the bar on the graph, the better the unit is receiving the signals from the satellite. The "Estimated Position Error" (horizontal position error) shown in the upper left corner of the screen is the expected error from a benchmark location. In other words, if the EPE shows 50 feet, then the position shown by the unit is estimated to be within 50 feet of the actual location. This also gives you an indicator of the fix quality the unit currently has. The smaller the position error number the better and more accurate the fix is. If the position error flashes dashes, then the unit hasn't locked onto the satellites, and the number shown isn't valid. The Satellite Status Page has its own menu, which is used for setting various options (Options and setup are discussed in Sec. To access the Satellite Status Page menu, from the Status Page, press MENU. 103 Navigation Page This screen has a compass rose that not only shows your direction of travel, but also the direction to a recalled waypoint. It also has a Navigation with Sonar option that will display two windows, one with a sonar chart, the other with the compass rose. To get to the Navigation Page: Press PAGES| or to NAVIGATION|EXIT. Track or compass heading indicator, showing direction of travel Navigation information displays Compass rose Present position arrow Cross track error range NOTE: Remember, when information displays are flashing, satellite lock has not been achieved and no position fix has been determined. A question mark will also flash on the present position arrow in the center of the compass rose. Speed (ground speed) is the velocity you are making over the ground.
