When to use Restart GPS:
• When the eXplorist has been moved more then 500 miles (804.67 km) while turned off.
• When the eXplorist is sluggish and takes more then a few minutes to compute its first position fix when
turned on. (This really isn’t an option that you need to be concerned about. The eXplorist has a built-
in feature that when it has trouble computing its first position fix, it automatically asks you to supply
the approximate position.)
Restarting the GPS:
1. Press MENU.
2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Preferences.
3. Press ENTER.
4. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Restart GPS.
5. Press ENTER.
6. Region. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the region of the world for
your present location.
You can also enter the coordinates for your present position if you know
them by highlighting Enter Coord. This is rarely used and is not
described in this manual.
7. Press ENTER.
8. Area. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the area of your location. The
list of areas is different for each region selected in step 6.
9. Press ENTER.
10. Ti me . Use the Arrow joystick to enter the current time. Push the Arrow
joystick up or down to change the value and left or right to move the
cursor.
Note: Time is one of the first pieces of information transmitted by the satellites
and even without enough satellite information to compute a position fix, the
time displayed may have already been corrected.
11. Press ENTER.
