12、ODUCTION Keypad Usage The GPSMAP system is designed as an aid to navigation, and is not intended to replace the use of government-approved charts and tradi- tional navigation practices. Make sure you read and understand the mariners acknowl- edgement before using the unit. 1 The GARMIN GPSMAP is a p

13、owerful electronic charting/navigating system that provides detailed chart coverage and convenient control of many advanced features right from the graphic charting page. This tour is designed to take you through the basic pages and functions of the GPSMAP system. Once youre familiar with the main p

14、ages and functions of the unit, refer to the reference section for instructions on performing specific tasks and functions. Before beginning the GPSMAP tour, make sure the main unit and antenna have been properly installed (see Appendices A CLEAR to erase all entered data; and RESTORE to restore the

15、 previous field value. The OK softkey accepts data entry and returns the display to the previous page, and the CANCEL softkey stops the current data entry mode. The Satellite Status Page will now indicate the position you entered and give you a simulated display of signal strength and satellite posi

16、tion. To continue the tour, lets move on to the Map Page. 1. Press the Ekey to display the Map Page. GPSMAPTOUR Entering a Position I The Data Window (at the right side of the screen) and the Softkey Menu Display (at the bottom of the screen) may be turned off for a full page display of cartography:

17、 To turn the Data Window off, press B. To turn the Softkey Menu off, press G. 4 The GPSMAP system is built around a powerful graphical Map Page. The Map Page combines digital electronic charting with a complete display of important navigational data and easy access to advanced features. After comple

18、ting the tour, youll be able to perform most navigation, waypoint and route functions directly from the Map Page. Before we start creating waypoints and routes, lets take a brief look at its various features and displays. The Map Page can be broken down into three main sections: map display, data wi

19、ndow and softkey menu. The map display shows your boat as a wedge icon on an electronically generated chart, complete with geographic names, markers, buoys and depth contours. It also displays your track, routes and nearby waypoints. An on-screen target cursor lets you pan to other map areas, determ

20、ine the range and bearing to a position and perform various route and waypoint functions. The data window provides a digital display of navigation data, in relation to your present position, the target cursor position or a particular waypoint. Map Display Softkey Menu Data Window Boat IconGPSMAPTOUR

21、 Map Page The destination field, located at the top of the data window, shows your bearing (BRG) and distance (DIS) to a destination waypoint or to the cursor. It also displays your crosstrack error (XTK) and turn (TRN) heading to an active destination. The XTK value is the distance you are off a de

22、sired course (left or right), while TRN represents the direction (left or right) in degrees between your course over ground (COG) and the bearing to your destination. The speed and course field, located below the destination field, displays your present speed and course over ground (SOG and COG). Be

23、low the speed and course field are the arrival and status fields. The arrival field displays your velocity made good (VMG) and estimated time enroute (ETE). Your velocity made good is the speed you are closing in on a destination along your desired track, while the ETE represents the total time left

24、 to reach your destination based on your current VMG. The status field indicates the operating mode and map scale currently in use. The map scale represents the approximate distance from the top of the map display to the bottom. The softkey menu provides you with direct access to the GPSMAPs route,

25、waypoint, auxiliary and range/bearing calculation functions. 5 Basic Navigation Terms: For a glossary of navigation terms, select the Glossary option from the Auxiliary Options Menu or see pages 79-80.

26、ROUND DISTANCE ACTIVE TO WAYPOINT As you move the cursor, the distance and bearing from your present position to the cursor will be displayed in the destination field (at the top right of the screen). The cursors position coordinates will be dis- played in the position field (below the speed and cou

27、rse field). While in cursor mode, the boat icon will continue to move, and may go off screen to accommodate the scrolling cursor. 6 Using the Map Page is a simple process that centers around the use of the cursor. Controlled by the arrow keypad, the cursor is an important tool that can be used as a

28、distance and bearing marker, to create new waypoints and routes, and to review position data of on-screen waypoints, buoys and markers. Try moving the cursor using the following exercise: 1. Use the Lkey to set the map scale to 64 n.m. 2. Your boat should be in the center of the map display, near An

29、dros Island and Nassau (the position you entered earlier). 3. Press the bottom arrow of the Kkeypad to move the cursor down to the first lat/lon grid South of your boats position. 4. Using the Kkeypad to move the target crosshair in each direction, try follow- ing the outline of the lat/lon grid clo

30、sest to your boat. Notice how the destination field of the data window displays the distance and bearing from your position to the target cursor, with the cursors coordinate position indicated in the position field. 5. Press the Akey to eliminate the cursor and re-center your position on the map dis

31、play. As you become more familiar with using the cursor, youll see that the map display actively scrolls forward with your panning, letting you explore areas around the world (even outside of your current G-chart TM coverage) and create waypoints and routes. Wherever you move the cursor, youll alway

32、s be one Akeystroke away from returning to your present position. GPSMAPTOUR Using the Target Cursor The GPSMAP system stores over 1900 alphanumeric waypoints, with selectable graphic icons and a user-defined comment field. If you mark a navaid position that appears on a G-chart electronic cartridge

33、, the default comment will automatically select the navaid text associated with the marker. 7 To continue the tour, lets mark our simulated present position for reference: 1. Press the Fkey to capture your present position as a waypoint. The Mark GPS Position window will appear, with a default three

34、-digit waypoint name and symbol. By pressing the Ckey, you can confirm the waypoint with the default name and symbol, but lets change the name and symbol to something a little more meaningful: 1. Use the Kkeypad to move the field highlight to the Wpt field and press C. 2. Enter the name DAY1 with th

35、e Kkeypad, pressing Cafter each character. 3. After youve entered the last letter, press the OK softkey to confirm the name. 4. The field highlight will move to the waypoint symbol field. Press Cto begin selection of a new waypoint symbol. 5. Use the Kkeypad to highlight the fish symbol (on the seco

36、nd line of the window) and press the Ckey. 6. The field highlight will move to the comment field, where you may enter a 20- character comment (the default comment is the date and time of creation). 7. Press Cto begin entry of a comment. 8. Use the Kkeypad to enter TOUR in the comment field, pressing

37、 the Ckey after each character. 9. Press the OK softkey to accept your comment. 10. Use the Kkeypad to highlight the OK field. 11. Press the Ckey to save your new waypoint. GPSMAPTOUR Marking a Position Whenever the cursor comes in close proximity to an on-screen waypoint or navaid, it will snap to

38、and highlight its on-screen icon. Once an on-screen marker has been high- lighted, destination and position information will be displayed in the data window. This feature makes it easy to review waypoint positions right from the map display. 8 Now that youve marked a waypoint for your starting posit

39、ion, lets make a route to navigate using the ROUTES softkey. (For the purposes of this tour, make sure that the current map scale is still at 64 n.m.) 1. Press the ROUTES softkey to begin creating a route. 2. Use the Kkeypad to highlight the Route 1 field and press C. The GPSMAP system can store 20

40、reversible routes of up to 50 waypoints each. Routes 1-19 are used as storage routes, with Route 0 always serving as the active route. Although you may create a route in the Route 0 position, be aware that it will automatically become the active route upon completion. If you want to save a route cre

41、ated in the Route 0 position, be sure to copy it to another storage route, as it will be overwritten by the next route activation (see Section 8 for more details on routes). As the GPSMAP returns to the Map Page, youll notice several changes. The map display will now show the cursor as an arrow at y

42、our present position, with the prompt field indicating instructions for adding waypoints to your route. To select the DAY1 waypoint as your first route waypoint: 1. Press the Ckey to add the waypoint to the route. Now add the next waypoint to the route: 1. Use the Kkeypad to move the arrow cursor as

43、 close as possible to the following coordinates: N 24 27.371, W 077 42.407. 2. Press Cto save the waypoint position. 3. Press Cto confirm the default waypoint name, symbol and comment.
