Garmin gps 60 Guida Utente

Initializing the GPS Receiver

Each time you turn on the GPS 60, it will begin searching for satellite 

signals. The first time you turn on the unit, you must wait for the GPS to 

initialize. Initialization allows the GPS 60 to receive and store satellite 

information and begin using the satellites for navigation. This process 

happens automatically and should take no more than a few minutes. Keep 

in mind that satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except 

glass) or dense overhead tree cover, so you should initialize outdoors 

and away from obstructions. Once you initialize, the GPS 60 should find 

satellite signals quickly each time you turn it on.

1.  Take your GPS 60 outside where it has a clear view of the sky and 

turn it on by pressing and releasing the 

 key.

2.  Wait while the GPS 60 searches for satellite signals. While the unit is 

searching, you see the message ‘Acquiring Satellites.’

3.  Once your GPS 60 has acquired satellites, your location in 

coordinates appears at the top of the Satellite Page.

If initializing takes a long time, or if you have moved more than 600 

miles since you last turned on the GPS 60, try moving away from tall 

trees, buildings, or other obstructions. If you still have trouble, see p. 7.
