What can I do if the receiver will not
turn on?
Can I use rechargable batteries in my
receiver?
What can be done if my GPS 315/320
takes a long time to get a position fix?
1. Check to see if the batteries are installed
correctly.
2. Replace with two new AA alkaline or lithium
batteries.
Yes. However, the battery life of your receiver will
be diminished
as well as the possibility of an incorrect reading on
the battery life gauge with the use of rechargeable
batteries.
1. If there are any obstacles nearby or overhead,
move to a new location.
2. Make sure that the antenna is pointing up, has
a clear view of the
sky, and is a reasonable distance away from your
body.
3. Check satellite satus to see where the satellites
are and if the receiver is acquiring data.
4. If the receiver still does not get a position fix
within 10 minutes,
you may wish to repeat the initialization procedure
or you can do clear memory.
5.To clear memory press Menu, select Setup and
then select clear memory and select all:NOTE:
this will erase all user waypoint/route data

Why is the time and date incorrect
after I replace the batteries?
Why won’t my GPS 315/320accept the
coordinates I am inputting?
You say my GPS 315/320should work
up to 15 hours on two batteries, but
why doesn’t
mine last that long?
If the batteries are removed for 20 minutes or
more, the receiver
will lose the time and date. The receiver will
collect time and
date soon after tracking a satellite.
The most common cause is that you are trying to
enter coordinates
that are in degrees/minutes while your receiver is
set to
Degrees/minutes/seconds. Because the last two
digits in degrees/
minutes are in hundredths (00-99) and
degrees/minutes/seconds
can be no higher than 59 (00-59), inputting a
number higher
than 59 while in deg/min/sec results in an error
and the receiver
does not accept the entry.
There can be two reasons. The first, and most
common reason
is that you have the display backlight on. The light
increases the
drain on the batteries causing the decrease in
battery life. The
second reason is that you are using NiCad
batteries. As mentioned,
while your receiver will operate on NiCad
batteries, the
battery life is diminished.

When doing NMEA output with the
GPS 315/320, what should be the map
datum on the unit?
In north reference, what are mils true
and mils magnetic?
What software enhancements and
fixes are done after doing version 315?
y.asp
WGS84.
mils means military angular unit. For an
explanation go to
http://www.boomershoot.org/general/mils.htm
1. Fixes problems with displaying user waypoint
information during pan-n-scan mode.
2. Reduces the speed at which the unit starts
position averaging to 0.2 meters/second
3. Fixes problems with display of XTE values on
the large navigation information screen
4. Fixes the trip odometer not to be reset by a
power off/on cycle. The trip odometer resets only
when averaging is set or when you explicitly reset
it.
5. Fixes an incorrect day on the sun/moon and
fish/hunt screens
6. Adds Portuguese language support
No. You need to reset the time for changes in
your area
The simulate mode will help you become familiar
with your receiver and how it works by generating
artificial position fixes. By utilizing simulator mode,
the receiver will create a route and continue until
you end it
Press the MENU button >Select SETUP and
press enter>Select SIMULATE and press ENTER
> Use Up/Down arrow keys to select MODE and
press ENTER.
