GETTING STARTED
We recommend that you use the GEONAV intuitively, since
no damage will be caused by pressing an incorrect button.
Make sure that the unit is powered,
insert an SD Card and then keep the
PWR key pressed until the unit
switches on. At start-up, all the
NAVIONICS charts stored in the SD
Card will be automatically loaded.
A message will warn the user that elec-
tronic nautical charts do not replace
official government charts.
Press the PWR key to turn the display backlight on and adjust
brightness by the joystick; press PAGE/EXIT to continue. The
Satellite window will show the configuration of the satellites
in use. As soon as the GPS receiver has obtained a valid fix (it
can take a few minutes), the boat’s position and the relevant
area will be displayed at the best scale available.
The default language is English. To change the language, press
GOTO to display the menu, then select SETUP, LANGUAGE
and the desired language by the joystick.
The line, or vector, starting from the boat indicates the boat’s
direction, to be ignored if the boat is stationary.
The window situated in the lower part of the screen will
display the boat’s speed, route and current time.
The GEONAV is in Navigation mode; by moving the joystick,
it is possible to switch to Cursor mode (editing mode). The
cursor geographical position is shown by two windows.
