1.   Press 

MENU twice for the Main Menu. Press up or down 

on the 

ROCKER until the GPS tab is highlighted, and then 

press 

MENU once.

2.   Using the 

ROCKER, highlight Initialize Position, and press 

ENTER. The Initialize Position Page appears, prompting 

you to select your approximate location with the map 

pointer.

3.  Use the 

ROCKER to move the map pointer to your 

approximate location within 200 miles. If you have difficulty 

identifying your location, press and release the 

IN key to 

see the next lower map range.  

4.  After you determine your approximate location on the map, 

press 

ENTER.

The unit now begins searching for the appropriate satellites for 

your region and should acquire a fix within a few minutes. When 

viewing the GPS tab on the Main Menu, a signal strength bar for 

each satellite in view appears on the bottom of the page, with the 

appropriate satellite number under each bar. 

•   No signal strength bars—the receiver is looking for the 

satellites indicated.

•  Hollow signal strength bars—the receiver has found the 

indicated satellite(s) and is collecting data.

•   Solid signal strength bars—the receiver is ready to use.

When the receiver has collected information from at least three 

satellites, the top of the screen displays either “Ready 2D or 3D”, 

and the GPSMAP 188/188C Sounder is ready for use.
