To change the position, press the right arrow
key while the “EDIT LAT/LON” box is high-
lighted. The screen shown at right appears.
If your latitude is south, press the up or down
arrow key to change it. If it is north, press the
right arrow key to move the change box to the
first number in the latitude. Now press the up
arrow key to increase the number or the down
arrow key to decrease it. Once the first num-

Keep pressing the arrow keys until the latitude and longitude are set to
your local position. (Note: This position does not have to be very accurate.
If you can get it within one degree of your actual position, that will be fine.)
When it’s set, press the ENT key. The AccuMap Sport accepts your entry
and returns to the GPS setup menu.

Now change the local time and date if they’re incorrect on this screen.
(Don’t worry about altitude.) When everything is acceptable, press the
EXIT key to return to a mode screen. The AccuMap Sport will instantly
use the data you entered to find the satellites in the sky. (The unit knows
which satellites will be available at the position, date, and time you en-
tered. Therefore, it will only look for those satellites, making the search
time much shorter than a cold start which looks for all of the satellites until
it finds three.)

Once the AccuMap Sport finds and locks on to three satellites, it stops
flashing the numbers on the display. (Note: Altitude will still flash until the
unit locks on to the fourth satellite. It takes four satellites to determine
altitude.)
