THE

 GPSMAP 292/298

The first time you turn on the GPSMAP 292/298, the receiver 

must be given an opportunity to collect satellite data and establish 

its present location. To ensure proper initialization, the GPSMAP 

292/298 is shipped from the factory in AutoLocate Mode. Before 

you turn on the GPSMAP 292/298 unit, make sure the unit and 

antenna are correctly installed on your vessel according to the 

instructions in the “Appendix.” Install the antenna in a location 

with a clear and unobstructed view of the sky.
A full-screen GPS Information Page is shown after you press

after the unit gets a position fix, or you press either ENTER or 

QUIT.

3.  Press 

ENTER to answer NO to the window asking “Do you
