Nav Info
This screen gives the navigational information of your MapSight.
Latitude and Longitude are the users geospatial coordinates.
Altitude is the height above sea level in meters.
PDOP is a measure of the positional accuracy of the GPS
reading.
SOG gives the Speed Over Ground in meters per second.
COG gives the Course Over Ground. This value is only
meaningful if your MapSight is physically moving.
UTC Time gives the current Universal Time Code date and time.
Nav Mode is the navigational status of GPS Fix. A 2-D (two
dimensional) fix only includes latitude and longitude data. A 3-D
(three dimensional) fix also includes altitude data. The available
constellation of satellites available affects whether altitude can
be calculated.
This GPS Info utility also has a Config menu that allows access to the following tools:
• Cold Start
Settings

Cold Start
Should your MapSight unit be taking a long time to get a useable
GPS fix, the GPS can be forced to restart and require a completely
fresh almanac from available satellites.
almanac refresh can take up to 30 minutes depending on local
satellite coverage.
Tapping the [Yes] button at the 'Do you really want to cold start
the GPS?' prompt will flush all current information in the GPS and
force it to reacquire this data. Tapping [No] will cancel the Cold
Start request.
CAUTION: Cold starting the GPS will reset GPS position
reception and will not result in an accurate or useable GPS
position fix until the new fix is achieved.

This is a shortcut to the MapSight Settings 'GPS' tab.
