A B GPSMAP 230 Getting-Started T our The GARMIN GPSMAP 230 is a powerful electronic charting/navigating system that provides detailed chart coverage and convenient contr ol of many advanced features right fr om the map display . This tour is designed to take you thr ough the basic pages and functions of the system using the simulator mode.
AB The GPSMAP 230’ s Satellite Page pr ovides a visual reference of satellite acqui- sition and receiver status, with a signal strength bar graph and a satellite sky view in the center of the page.
5 GETTING STARTED Page Sequence & Position Page The Satellite Page is one of four main pages used in the GPSMAP 230’ s system. All four pages are linked together in a simple chain, which allows you to scr oll through the pages in either dir ection using the J and Q keys.
AB To mark your present position: 1. Press the M key. The mark position page will appear, with a default three-digit waypoint name and symbol. 2. Use the R keypad to highlight the waypoint name field (001) and press T . 3. Press the LEFT ARROW of the R keypad to clear the name field.
A B The GPSMAP 230’ s Map Page combines digital chartplotting with a user -selec- table display of navigation data and a built-in worldwide database to 64 nm. It will also be the page you use most to create and edit waypoints and r outes. Before we take off on our practice r oute, let’ s take a brief look at its various features and displays.
AB Using the Map Cursor W orking from the Map Page is a simple pr ocess that centers around the use of the cursor . Controlled by the R keypad, the cursor is an important tool that can be used to pan to other map locations, mark and edit waypoints and routes, and r eview position data of on-screen navaids and waypoints.
A B Going to a Destination GPS is all about marking positions as waypoints and navigating to them using the receiver’ s steering guidance and map displays. W e’ve already seen how to use the M key to store our present position, so it’ s time to move on to the fun part— going to a destination.
AB A data field at the top of the page will now display the bearing and distance to the second route waypoint. T o get started, let’ s enter a speed for our vessel, which we can do from the ‘Setup Simulator?’ listing on the options page. The setup sim- ulator page is also available fr om any other page in the main page sequence.
A B Once the cursor is over the TOUR3 waypoint, you’ll notice that the waypoint symbol and name will become highlighted, and the data field at the top of the page will display the waypoint name, the range and bearing from your pr esent position, and the coordinates for the waypoint.
AB Now that we’re navigating to an actual destination, let’ s move on to the next page of the GPSMAP 230 system, the Navigation Page : 1. Press the J key.
A B 13 GETTING STARTED Using the Navigation Page Whenever the GPSMAP 230 is in simulator mode, you can adjust your speed and course from the Navigation Page using the R keypad.
