Hi guys,

The Frenchie again. When I go to the Map Page, I see the actual coordinates (top of the screen), the distance scale (bottom left corner) and then when I zoom in and/or out, I start seeing a blue circle around my actual location. I can't find anything about the matter in the owner's manual. Any idea?

Thanks (once again... LOL)

Hello Again!!
The blue circle is your accuracy circle. Your position lies some where in that circle. If the accuracy of your unit is 3 meters, then when you are getting good signals the circle should be less than 3m.
When you first turn the unit on the blue circle starts out large then gets smaller as your position gets more accurate. I hope this is some help

Cheers
Jordan

Can the accuracy circle be turned off or disabled on the 60CSX?

Thanks
