REFERENCE Proximity W aypoints viii INTRODUCTION "How T o" Index This list is provided to help you quickly find some of the more important procedures you will use on your new GPS III+. TO DO THIS: SEE P AGE(S): T ur n the unit on or off ....
1 GETTING ST ARTED Unit Features Antenna (detachable) Function Keys LCD Display Battery Door Rocker Keypad Power/Backlight Key (red) T o change the screen orientation, press and hold the P AGE key .
2 GETTING ST ARTED Keypad Usage / Display (PO WER) — Red key turns the unit on and off, and controls three levels of screen backlighting intensity . ( P A G E ) — Scrolls main pages in sequence and returns display from a menu/options page to a main page.
GETTING ST ARTED Batter y Installation 3 The GPS III+ operates on 4 AA batteries (not included), which are installed at the base of the unit. These batteries provide up to 36 hours of continuous use (See page 87). Rechargeable NiCad or lithium batteries may also be used.
What is GPS? GETTING ST ARTED The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of 24 satellites which circle the earth twice a day in a ver y precise orbit and transmit information to earth. The GPS III+ must continuously “see” at least three of these satellites to calculate your position and track your movement.
Once the GPS III+ has calculated a position fix, you’ll usually have anywhere from five to twelve satellites in view . The receiver will then continuously select the best satellites in view to update your position.
This usually provides a position fix in 1 minute. Y ou’ll know you have a fix when the unit automatically transitions from the Satellite Page to the Map Page, unless you have manually changed pages (shown left). Y our receiver is now ready to use! T o turn the unit off: 1.
T o turn the GPS III+ back on, press and hold the red power key . The GPS III+ features six main pages which are linked together in a chain. Y ou can quickly scroll through the pages in either direction using the P AGE or QUIT keys. Let’ s briefly tour each of these pages in order to give you some insight into how they help you navigate.
Let’ s start with the Satellite Status Page, which is the page you’ll view while your unit is getting a position fix. If you’re not already on this page, press P AGE or QUIT until it appears.
The Position Page shows you where you are, what direction you’re heading, and how fast you’re going—and it’ s the page you’ll want to use when you don’ t have a destination selected.
The Map Page shows your movement using a real-time track log (an electronic breadcrumb trail that appears directly on the map as you’re traveling), and your present position as a pointer icon in the center of the map. The Map Page also shows any nearby lakes, rivers, highways and towns.
The GPS III+ features two different navigation pages: Compass and Highway . The Compass Page is first. This page provides graphic steering guidance to a destination waypoint, with an emphasis on the bearing to your destination and current direction of travel.
The GPS III+’ s Highway Page also provides graphic steering guidance to a destination waypoint. As you head toward your destination, the middle of the screen provides visual guidance to your waypoint on a moving graphic “highway .” Y our present position is at the bottom center of the highway display .
The GPS III+’ s Main Menu provides access to additional pages (submenus) that are used to create or edit waypoints, create routes, list nearby waypoints, review trip information and timers or make changes to system settings. These six pages are divided into categories by function.
GPS is really about marking and going to places called ‘waypoints’. Before we can use the GPS III+ to guide us somewhere, we have to mark a position as a waypoint. Y our GPS III+ can hold up to 500 waypoints. T o mark your present position: 1. Press and hold the ENTER/MARK key.
Once you’ve stored a waypoint in memor y , you can use the GPS III+ to guide you to it by using the GOTO feature. A GOTO is really nothing more than a straight-line course from your present position to the destination you’ve selected.
T o cancel the current GOTO destination, simply select another destination. If no destination is currently desired, or you want to resume a previously selected route, the GOTO operation may be cancelled from the GOTO Options Page. T o cancel the current GOTO destination: 1.
The GPS III+ is a powerful navigation system providing detailed mapping informa- tion in a convenient, compact package. This simulator tour is designed to show you the basic features of your new GPS III+ during a simulated trip.
T o select the simulator mode: 1. Press MENU to list the options for the Satellite Status Page. 2. Highlight ‘Start Simulator’ with the rocker keypad, and press ENTER. 3. Press ENTER again to acknowledge the simulator warning message. Let’ s look at the sequence of pages again.
T o select the Map Page, press P AGE repeatedly until it appears. The GPS III+’ s Map Page combines digital charting with a number of user -selectable features. Before we select our destination and begin navigating toward it, let’ s take a look at some of those features.
Select a five mile scale by pressing zoom IN or OUT repeatedly . W orking from the Map Page is a simple process that centers around the use of a reference “arrow”.
4. A city symbol is assigned to the new waypoint, but let’ s use a special symbol to identify it. Highlight the waypoint symbol field, using the rocker keypad, and press ENTER. Use UP/DOWN on the rocker keypad to select the ‘Information’ icon (‘?’) and press ENTER.
T o mark your present position: 1. Press and hold the ENTER/MARK key. The Mark Waypoint Page will appear , with a default three-digit name for the new waypoint in the upper-left portion of the page.
Notice the information on the map display is slowly moving? That’ s how it would look in actual use as well. The background map information and nearby waypoints will move across the screen, while your current position remains fixed in the center .
T o view the Highway Page, press P AGE. The Highway Page pr ovides a graphic highway display that shows your movement relative to the desired course. The line down the middle of the highway represents your desired course. As you navigate toward your destination, the highway will actually move, indicating the dir ection you’re off course.
The GPS III+’ s Satellite Status Page provides a visual reference of various receiver functions, including current satellite coverage, receiver operating mode, battery level and position accuracy .
Y ou can use the sky view to help determine if any satellites are being blocked, and whether you have a current position fix (indicated by a ‘2D Navigation’ or ‘3D Navigation’ in the status field). Y ou can also set the sky view to a ‘T rack Up’ configuration, causing the top of the sky view to align along your current track heading.
Poor GPS Coverage — the receiver isn’t tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fix due to bad satellite geometry . Not Usable — the receiver is unusable, possibly due to incorrect initialization or abnormal satellite conditions. T ur n the unit off and back on to reset, and reinitialize the receiver if necessary .
‘AutoLocate’ forces the r eceiv- er to search for all satellites (twelve at a time) until enough satellites are found to determine a position. EPE and DOP The Satellite Status Page also indicates the accuracy of the position fix, using Estimated Position Err or (EPE) and Dilution of Precision (DOP) figures.
With 2D coverage, you will need to enter your approx- imate altitude. Without an appr oximate altitude, your position error can be sub- stantial. AutoLocate — forces the GPS III+ to search for any available satellite(s) to determine its position.
The Position Page shows you wher e you are, what dir ection you’r e heading and how fast you’r e going. 30 REFERENCE Contrast and Backlighting On page 25, we intr oduced display contrast and backlighting adjustments accessible fr om the Satellite Status Page.
your present position) also appear on the Position Page (as default selections). Units of measure and the position readout ar e selectable from the Main Menu, as outlined on page 74-75. ‘T rip Computer’ functions—such as average speed, max speed, trip odometer and trip timer—can each be reset from the Main Menu, as described on page 74.
Change Fields — allows you to choose the data displayed on the six user -selec- table data fields. A vailable data types are: Altitude, A verage (A vg) Speed, Battery (Bat) T imer , Max Speed, Odometer , Speed, Sunrise (at present position), Sunset (at present position), T rack, T rip Odometer , T rip T imer , User T imer and V oltage.
The GPS III+ features a powerful real-time moving map that can do much more than just plot your course and route. The Map Page also displays background detail, including geographic names, lakes, rivers, coastlines and highways.
Another function on the Map Page is the pan function, which allows you to move the map with the keypad in order to view areas beyond the current map. T o activate the pan function: 1. Use the rocker keypad to move the map in any direction, including diagonally .
Highway exit information is also available when using the pan function. Simply place the panning pointer over the exit location to retrieve additional information—including available services—about the exit.
REFERENCE Map Page Options Many GPS III+ features are menu driven. Each of the main pages has an options menu, allowing you to custom tailor the corresponding page to your prefer ences and/or select special features which specifically relate to that page.
37 REFERENCE Map Page Options MapSource Info — shows the number of maps downloaded from the optional MapSource software package and the amount of memory used (in kilobytes). MapSource allows you to supplement the built-in map with up to 1.44 MB of additional detail, including residential streets and topographic information.
REFERENCE Map Page Options The 'Nearest to Pntr' option will only be available when the pointer is moved on the scr een. The exit with the arr ow to the left of the number is the next exit ahead, given your dir ection of travel. Exits which appear above in the list ar e the closest the opposite direction.
REFERENCE Map Page Options 39 5. For exits, all the exit services information (described on page 35) is available. Y ou can show the map area for the point or save it as a waypoint. 6. For geo points, the information includes geographic points, rivers/lakes, park areas and airports.

Map Setup — allows you to configure the map display to your preferences, including map detail, map orientation, automatic zoom, lat/lon grid, track and route lines, exits and waypoint names.
Select the ‘North Up’ option to keep the top of the map display fixed on North. ‘T rack Up’ will cause the map to r otate so the top of the map is the direction you’r e heading. The ‘Zoom’ setting allows you to define the maximum scale at which the feature will appear .
The bearing pointer indicates the direction (bearing) to your destination. If the arrow points any direction other than up, turn towar d the arrow until it points up. If you pass your destination waypoint, the bearing pointer will swing around 180º and the ‘Dist to Next’ waypoint will increase.
‘Big Numbers’ provides a smaller compass display , a large bearing pointer , and two user -selectable, large charac- ter data fields. The ‘Change Fields’ option allows you to select from a list of available data types. Four differ ent items may be displayed on the Compass Page—two when using the ‘Big Numbers’ option.
Y our course is r epr esented by the highway center line. Keep the center line in the middle of the display to stay on course. When using a route, the Highway Page will guide you to each waypoint along the r oute. The GPS III+’ s Highway Page also provides graphic steering guidance to your destination, by using a graphic highway display .
The ‘Sign Posts Off ’ option allows you to remove the waypoint markers from the highway display . The ‘Change Fields’ option allows you to choose the type of data to display on four user -selectable data fields. Select the desired type fr om the ‘Change Fields’ list.
The ENTER/MARK key allows you to mark your cur - r ent position as a waypoint. Y ou can give this waypoint any name you choose—up to six characters long. Y ou can also choose fr om a list of symbols used to identify the user waypoint on the map display .
User waypoints can also be cr eated by entering the position coordinates for the waypoint. 48 REFERENCE Marking W aypoints on the Map Page W aypoints can also be quickly created from the Map Page, which allows you to “point and shoot” at any map position to create a new waypoint.
