The Almanac within unit stores each satellite's orbital data that is supplied in the satellite signals. The GPSMAP 76 uses the Almanac to know which satellites to search for and automatically updates each time the unit aquires satellites. If you do not use your GPS for several months or move the unit over 600 miles between uses, the Almanac can become "cold" and the orbital information is no longer valid. Your unit may have trouble locking on to satellite signals using a "cold" Almanac. If the unit is unable to receive enough satellite signals to determine its location and update the Almanac, it displays an options menu. 1. With fresh batteries installed, take the unit outside for a clear 360° view of the sky. 2. Turn the unit on and hold it in front of you with the top of the unit tilted upward. Follow the screen prompts, pressing PAGE to display the GPS Information page. 3. The initialization process is automatic. It should take the GPSMAP 76 no longer than five minutes to acquire enough satellite signals to become operational. When the unit is able to navigate, it displays either 2D GPS Location or 3D GPS Location in the Receiver Status field. Initializing the GPS Receiver: GPSMAP 76 Owner's Manual 7 BASIC OPERATION > INITIALIZING THE GPS RECEIVER Initialization Options If the GPSMAP 76 is unable to determine its location, an options menu is displayed. Select the appropriate option to help the unit acquire satellites. Highlight the option and then press ENTER to select. Start Simulator--is used for practicing with the unit while inside and satellite signals are not available. When you select Simulator, the GPS receiver is turned off saving battery power. New Location--is used when you have moved the unit over 600 miles and are having trouble locking onto satellite signals. When you select New Location, another menu is displayed. This menu contains the options Automatic or Use Map. If you select Automatic, the unit switches to the AutoLocate mode and begin searching for satellites. This process may take longer to acquire satellites. Use Map utilizes the pointer on the Map page to select your approximate location. Then the unit continues to acquire satellites normally. Stored w/o Batteries--is used when the date stored in the unit may be incorrect due to storage without batteries. To check the date, highlight Stored w/o Batteries and verify the date displayed. If the date is incorrect, select Stored w/o Batteries to search for satellites. Continue Acquiring--is used when in an area where the satellite signals are being temporarily blocked. When initializing the receiver or trying to receive satellite signals, orient the GPSMAP 76 so the top of the unit points toward the sky. If the unit is held with the top of the unit pointed toward the horizon, satellite reception may be severly degraded. 8 GPSMAP 76 Owner's Manual BASIC OPERATION > CREATING A WAYPOINT Creating a Waypoint The term Waypoint may be new to you, but is frequently used when discussing navigation.
