Magellan NAV 5000 User Manual

Continuous Operation
When the unit is in continuous operation, it updates the position fix
approximately every second. As satellites set or their signals become blocked,
and as other satellites rise, the unit occasionally changes which satellites are
being used. This does not affect the unit's updating the position fix.
When the unit is operating from external power, it does not turn off until ON/
OFF is pressed or power is lost.
Real-Time Messages

The entire Almanac was not collected; the unit is
identifying the missing data and collecting it. Do
