Getting Started

Acquiring GPS Signals
Before you can navigate to a destination, the GPS receiver must acquire satellite (GPS) signals.
1. Turn on your Garmin GPS receiver. 2. Make sure the GPS receiver is connected to your mobile phone using Bluetooth wireless technology. (For frequently asked questions about Bluetooth wireless technology, see www.garmin.com/support/faqs. Enter Bluetooth and click Search.) 3. Open the Garmin Mobile XT application. 4. Go to an open area, out of parking garages, and away from tall buildings.
Acquiring satellite signals may take a few minutes. The bars in the upper-left corner indicate satellite strength. While the GPS receiver is acquiring satellite signals or if it loses signals, the bars are red or hollow. When the bars are green , your GPS has acquired satellite signals; you can find your destination and go to it. To view information about the GPS receiver, select the GPS icon ( , , or ). You can also select (Menu >) Settings > System > Remote GPS. For more information about the Remote GPS page, see page 44. For more information about GPS, visit www.garmin.com/aboutGPS.
