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 satel lites.
• “2D GPS Location” - the cf Que has a fix on enough
satellites to establish its location.
• “3D GPS Location” - enough satellites are fixed 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 first time or you have moved
over 600 miles since last use, it must initialize (determine its
location by searching for satellites over your current loca-
tion). 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 field displays your
direction of travel or the next street intersection ahead.
