How to show a location different than the current location on a GPSMAP 62/78

If you would like the GPSMAP® 62 or GPSMAP® 78 outdoor handheld to show a different location other than your current location, you will need to set the device into Demonstration mode. At that point, you can change the location. If the device is in Normal mode, it will automatically locate its correct position.

To change the current location:

1. Press Menu twice to access Main menu
2. Select Setup
3. Select System
4. Select GPS
5. Select Demo Mode
6. Press Menu twice to return Main menu
7. Select Satellite
8. Press Menu button
9. Select Set Location On Map
10. Use the Map to select the desired position
11. Press Use button once location is selected

You have now selected the desired location to be used as your current location on the GPSMAP 62 or 78 handheld.

To quickly have your device locate your current location, turn the device off and back on. You can also follow steps 1 though 4 from above, and select Normal mode to locate your current location.
