AstroStart 60Cx Benutzerhandbuch

The first time you turn on your GPSMAP 60Cx, the 

GPS receiver must collect satellite data and establish 

its current location. To ensure proper initialization, 

the GPSMAP 60Cx is shipped from the factory in 

AutoLocate mode, which allows the receiver to “find 

itself” anywhere on Earth. To receive satellite signals, 

you must be outdoors and have a clear view of the sky.

1.  Press and hold the 

POWER key to turn on the 

GPSMAP 60Cx.

2.  Hold the unit in front of you with the top tilted 

upward. While the GPS receiver is searching 

for the satellite signals, a “Locating Satellites” 

message is replaced by an “Acquiring 

Satellites” message until enough signals are 

acquired to fix its location. 

  When the receiver has signals from at least 

three satellites, the display at the top of the 

page changes to indicate position accuracy 

and location coordinates.

3.  Press and release the 

PAGE key until the Map 

Page appears. You are now ready to begin 

GPS-aided navigation.

You can also observe a sky-view array of the satellites 

overhead with your location centered in the array. The 

outer circle represents the horizon and the inner circle 

represents a position 45 degrees from the horizon. The 

numbers shown indicate the number assigned to each 

satellite. A bar graph at the bottom of the page shows 

the strength of signals from each satellite.

If the unit cannot get a satellite fix, a list of solutions 

appears. Select an appropriate solution, and press 

ENTER to continue.
