Find Your Current Position
Finding your current position is as simple as turning the Atlas on. Under clear
sky conditions, the unit automatically searches for satellites and calculates its
position in approximately one minute or less.

"Clear sky" means open sky, unobstructed by terrain, dense foliage or
structures. Clouds do not restrict GPS signal reception.

If for some reason satellite acquisition takes longer, you may be inside a
structure or vehicle or in terrain that is blocking signal reception. To correct this,
be sure you are positioned so that the unit has as clear a view of the sky as
possible, then turn the unit off and back on again.

Moving Around the Map: Zoom & Cursor Arrow Keys
The map is presented from a bird's eye view perspective. The current zoom
range shows in the lower left corner of the screen.

1. Press the 

 key (zoom in) to move in closer and see greater detail in a

smaller geographic area.

2. Press the 

ZOUT key

 (zoom out) to move farther away and see less map detail,

but a larger geographic area.

When you are walking or riding in a vehicle, the map will automatically move as
you move. This keeps your current location roughly centered on the screen.

You can manually pan or scroll the map northward, southward, eastward or
westward by using the arrow keys, which launches the cross-hair map cursor.
This allows you to look at map places other than your current position. To clear
the cursor, press 

, which jumps the map back to the current position or the

last known position.

Use the cursor to determine the distance from your current position (or last
known position, when working indoors) to any map object or location.
Simply use the arrow keys to position the cursor over the object or place.
The distance, measured in a straight line, appears in the data box at the
bottom of the map. Press 

 to clear the cursor.
