User Manual

NOTICE:
Even where adequate signals from multiple
satellites are available, your GPS feature only
provides an approximate location, usually within 10
meters from your actual location, but sometimes
farther away.
The satellites used by the GPS feature are controlled by
the U.S. government and are subject to changes
implemented in accordance with the Department of
Defense GPS user policy and the Federal Radio Navigation
Plan. These changes may affect the performance of the
GPS feature on your radio.
GPS Performance Enhancement
Sometimes, the GPS feature may be unable to complete a
location calculation successfully. You then see a message
indicating that your radio cannot connect to enough visible
satellites.
To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a fix,
take note of the following guidelines:
• For your initial fix, hold the radio in the face position.
• Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where
there is nothing between your radio and the open sky.
The Outdoor Location Feature (Using
GPS)
This feature allows you to determine your current location
using a location menu, as well as your current distance and
bearing in relation to another location. Radio location may
be requested and reported over-the-air.
Your radio stores up to a maximum of 60 programmable
location coordinates, also known as waypoints. When the
memory is full, the next waypoints automatically replaces
the oldest waypoints in the radio.
The radio also stores four preprogrammed waypoints.
These coordinates cannot be deleted.
The following table shows the differences between
programmable waypoints and preprogrammed waypoints.
