The receiver status is shown in the Status field on the Info sub tab. Current 

accuracy is shown in the EPE (Estimated Position Error) field. Accuracy uses 

many factors to calculate location accuracy in feet or meters including the number 

of received GPS satellites, signal strength, and satellite orientation. The Status 

field shows one of the following conditions:

•  Searching for Satellites—the receiver is looking for any satellites and 

collecting data from satellites visible at its last known or initialized 

location, but has not collected enough data to calculate a fix. This process 

can take up to five minutes.

•  Ready For Navigation—at least three satellites with good geometry have 

been acquired, and your location is now being calculated in latitude and 

longitude; or at least four satellites have been acquired, and your location 

is being calculated in latitude, longitude, and elevation. “Ready For 

Navigation with WAAS” appears when you are receiving WAAS satellite 

corrections in 2-D or 3-D, and a D appears on the strength bar of satellites 

being corrected.

After the receiver has collected information from at least three satellites, the 

Status field shows either “Ready for Navigation” or “Ready for Navigation with 

WAAS.” The GPSMAP 3005C is now ready for use. Press QUIT to return to the 

Map Page.

The Setup sub tab provides access to functions and features relating to initializing 

the GPS receiver.

1.  Press and hold 

ADJ/MENU to open the Main Menu.

2.  Highlight the 

GPS tab, and then highlight the Setup sub tab.

The GPS Setup tab contains the following options:
Skyview Orientation—allows you to select a sky view orientation, either North 

Up or Track Up, for the GPS Info sub tab only. 
Source—set to Garmin when using a Garmin sensor (GPS 17); set to NMEA 

when using any other GPS NMEA source.
WAAS—turns WAAS on or off. See page

The following soft keys are active only when the unit is not receiving satellites 

and the Source is not set to Garmin:

•  AutoLocate—allows the receiver to find your location automatically. This 

process can take up to five minutes.

•  Set Position—allows you to initialize the receiver from the Map Page to 

initially help the receiver acquire satellites more quickly.
