GETTING STARTED

Initialization

Initializing the Receiver

The first time you power up your new GPSMAP 180 is an important step in get-

ting the best possible GPS performance. The receiver must be given an opportunity

to collect satellite data and establish its present position. To ensure proper initializa-

tion, the GPSMAP 180 is shipped from the factory in AutoLocate

mode, which will

allow the receiver to find itself anywhere in the world. To speed up the initializa-

tion process, we recommend using the graphic initialization process described

below, which will usually provide a position fix in about a minute.

Before you initialize, make sure the GPSMAP unit and antenna have been correctly

installed on your vessel according to the instructions in Appendix A.

To turn the GPSMAP 180 on:

1. Press and hold the

key until the power tone sounds.

The welcome page will appear while the unit conducts a self test. Once the

internal test is complete, the mariners warning will appear, asking you to read and

acknowledge important information regarding the proper use of electronic charts.

To acknowledge the mariners warning:

1. Press the

key.

A message alert and prompt will also appear asking you to select an initialization

method.

To view a message:

1. Press the

key.

2. Press the

key again to return to the previous page.

A. The welcome page will be displayed while

the unit performs a self-test.

B. Confirm the mariners warning before

starting navigation. Remember that the

electronic chart is designed as a supple-

ment to local government charts, not as a

replacement.
