When you turn on the GPSMAP 3205, a Warning Page appears, showing unit 

information, network connections (attached devices), and important information 

regarding the proper use of the unit. It takes a few seconds for the MFD to 

search for attached devices. When the search is complete, the I Agree button is 

highlighted. After reading the warning, press ENTER.
Next, you see the first of the main pages, the Map Page. The GPSMAP 3205 

begins searching for the GPS satellites. The first time the unit acquires satellites 

takes several minutes. Afterward, acquisition times are quicker during normal 

use. The GPS status icon on the left side of the status bar shows the progress of 

the satellite acquisition process. 
GPS icon status colors are:

•  Red—acquiring satellites/lost satellite reception.
•  Orange—ready for navigation/ready for navigation with WAAS.
•  Gray—lost GPS connection. (Check GPS antenna wiring connections.)

A detailed visual reference of the satellite acquisition, GPS receiver status, and 

accuracy is available on the GPS tab on the Main Menu.

ADJ/MENU to open the Main Menu.

2.  Use the 

ROCKER to highlight the GPS tab. 

When viewing the GPS Info sub tab, a signal strength bar for each satellite in 

view appears on the right of the page, 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. For more 

information about WAAS, see the “
