First Power Up
The first time the Apollo 360 GPS is powered on, it will need to know
the approximate time, date, latitude, and longitude in order to look for
specific GPS satellites. Afterwards, the Apollo 360 GPS will remember
the last known position, and will update the current time automatically,
even when turned off. Setting up this information is done using the
Menu: Time and Place feature, and is fully described in the Users Guide
— Getting Started section.
