Garmin 276c Manuale Proprietario

After you turn on the GPSMAP 276C, the unit automatically begins 

searching for satellites. The GPS page appears while the unit is 

gathering satellite signals and acquiring a fix, which should take 

only a few minutes. While the GPSMAP 276C is getting satellite 

signals, the GPS page shows the status as “Acquiring Satellites.” 
It might take a few minutes to acquire satellites and display your 

current location on the map. To get signals more quickly, be sure the 

antenna is raised to the up position shown in the image on page 1. 

The GPS tab on the Main Menu provides a visual reference of 

satellite acquisition, receiver status, and accuracy. The sky view and 

signal strength bars give an indication of what satellites are visible 

to the receiver and whether they are being tracked. 
As the receiver locks onto satellites, a signal strength bar appears 

for each satellite in view, with the appropriate satellite number 

underneath each bar. The numbers below each bar represent the 

particular satellite that is being received. Numbers above 33 indicate 

WAAS satellites.
The sky view shows a birds-eye view of the position of each satellite 

relative to the receiver’s last known position. The outer circle 

represents the horizon (north up), the inner circle represents 45º 

above the horizon, and the center point represents a position directly 

overhead. You can also set the sky view to a Track Up configuration, 

causing the top of the sky view to align along your current track 

heading. Press MENU to change the configuration of the sky view.
A power source indicator shows the unit is operating off battery 

power (

), that the unit is charging (

), or that an 

external power source is in use (

).
