Set GPS mode to normal

There are several modes your GPS can run under: Normal, Battery Saver, GPS Off and Demo. It is important that you have the GPS set to ‘Normal’ while mapping, as this setting updates your location most frequently, and your points will be more accurate than in Battery Saver mode.

• Press MENU to get to the main menu screen (you may need to press MENU twice to quickly get to the menu screen)
• Navigate down to ‘Setup’ and press ENTR
• Press ENTR while the ‘System’ icon is highlighted
• Make sure that it says ‘Normal’ beneath the ‘GPS’ heading (at the top). If it doesn’t, press ENTR while the ‘GPS’ heading is highlighted and then select ‘Normal’ and press ENTR again.
• Press PAGE or QUIT to exit the system menu.
