Start-Up and Satellite Acquisition

(For faster acquisition, set the Pocket PC’s clock before starting the Que Application)

1. Turn On the application by tapping the Garmin Que

icon from the Program Page or the Start Menu.

2. Observe the Map Page and the GPS status messages as

they appear at the top of the page.

• “No GPS Connected”- you have not installed the cf

Que fully into the CompactFlash card slot.

• “Waiting for GPS” - the Que application is making

contact with the cf Que module.

• “Acquiring Satellites” - the cf Que is search for satellites.

• “2D GPS Location” - the cf Que has a fi x on enough

satellites to establish its location.

• “3D GPS Location” - enough satellites are fi xed to

determine an elevation as well as ground location.

If the cf Que can’t get past the “Acquiring Satellites” message, move to a location where you have a clear view of the sky. Adjust the cf Que antenna to more of a horizontal position. If you get an intermittent “Lost Satellite Signal” message, move away from objects blocking the signal.

If you’re starting up for the fi rst time or you have moved over 600 miles since last use, it must initialize (determine its location by searching for satellites over your current location). Use the Location option from the GPS Info Page Menu to mark your approximate location so it knows to look only for satellites that are overhead.

Once you begin to move, the message fi eld displays your direction of travel or the next street intersection ahead.
