Satellite

The Satellite page displays (in animation) the geko gathering the necessary satellite information to function.

A "Ready to Navigate" message will appear when the receiver has gathered information from a minimum of three satellites.

The current satellite receiver status and estimated positional accuracy are displayed at the top of the Satellite page.

The bottom of the Satellite page displays a signal strength bar to let you know when satellite signals are weak or when you need to move to a better location.

 

Map

The Map page provides a picture of where you are (animated figure), where you are going (path to destination), where you have been (track log), and waypoint names and symbols.

The geko rotates the Map page as you move such that waypoints that are ahead of you are displayed in front of the animated figure.

The Heading Indicator shows you which direction you are moving.

Press the Up (C) or Down (D) buttons to change the map scale as desired.

Press OK (E) to select Map page options:

• Stop Navigation (stops any active navigation)
• Pan Track Log (move pointer to any point along current track)
• Clear Track Log (clears current track log and starts a new one)
• Map Setup (adjust map orientation, auto zoom, and waypoint visibility)

Navigation

The Navigation page helps guide you to a destination.

When moving without a destination selected, the upper data field displays the current GPS signal status. The compass ring displays your heading while moving.

When moving with a destination selected (navigating), the upper data field shows the name and distance to the current destination. Simply follow the compass arrow to find your destination.

To change the lower data field, press the Up (C) or Down (D) buttons until the desired data field is displayed:

1. Arrival Time - the estimated time of arrival at current destination.
2. Average Speed - the average speed traveled since last trip reset.
3. Bearing - the compass direction between your location and destination.
4. Elevation - the measurement of height above mean sea level.
5. Final Distance - the distance between your current location and the destination.
6. Heading - the direction you are traveling.
7. Location - shows the current latitude and longitude.
8. Max Speed - the maximum speed traveled since last reset.
9. Speed - how fast you are moving.
10. Time/Date - the date and time for the current location.
11. Time To Go - the estimated total time left until you reach your destination.
12. Trip Odometer - total distance traveled since last reset.
13. Trip Time - total time traveled since last trip reset.

Press OK (E) to select Navigation page options:

• Stop Navigation (stops any active navigation)
• Reset Max Speed (resets maximum speed achieved during a trip)
