1.   Press and hold 

ADJ/MENU for the Main Menu. Press up or 

down on the 

ROCKER until the GPS tab is highlighted, and 

then press 

ADJ/MENU once.

2.   Using the 

ROCKER, highlight Initialize Position, and press 

ENTER. The Initialize Position Page appears, prompting 

you to select your approximate location with the map 

pointer.

3.  Use the 

ROCKER to move the map pointer to your 

approximate location within 200 miles. If you have difficulty 

identifying your location, press and release the 

Down key to see the next lower map range.  

4.  After you have determined your approximate location on the 

map, press 

ENTER.

  NOTE: This does not calibrate the unit in any way, rather it 

helps to speed up the initial satellite acquisition. If the unit 

shows “Ready for Navigation” during this process, it is not 

necessary to initialize the unit.

The unit now begins searching for the appropriate satellites for 

your region and should acquire a fix within a few minutes. When 

viewing the GPS tab on the Main Menu, a signal strength bar for 

each satellite in view appears on the bottom of the page, with the 

appropriate satellite number under each bar. 

•   No signal strength bars—the receiver is looking for the 

satellites indicated.

•  Hollow signal strength bars—the receiver has found the 

indicated satellite(s) and is collecting data.

•   Solid signal strength bars—the receiver is ready to use.

When the receiver has collected information from at least three 

satellites, the top of the screen shows “Ready for Navigation”, and 

the GPSMAP 292/298 is ready for use.
