vi Tracking System Owner’s Manual - DraftIntroductIon > IMPORTANT: READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR 010-01097-00/010-01113-00 System:Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals—Your wireless handheld tracking system is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, The Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless radios. Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996. Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientic literature. For example, over 130 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). The design of your radio complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).For body-worn and face-held operation, this radio demonstrates compliance and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for uncontrolled exposure (general population) when used with approved accessories supplied with or designed for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Antenna Care—Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modications, or attachments could damage the radio and may violate FCC regulations. Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna, because if it comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.Electronic Devices—Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless radio.Pacemakers—The Health Industry Manufacturers Association (HIMA) recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (6”) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers should ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches from their pacemaker when the radio is turned on, should not carry the radio in a breast pocket, should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference, and should turn the radio off immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.Hearing Aids—Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.Tracking System Owner's Manual F6 6 1/16/2007 1:51:37 PM
Tracking System Owner’s Manual - Draft viiIntroductIon > Other Medical Devices—If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.Turn your radio OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.Vehicles—RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.Posted Facilities—Turn your radio OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.Commercial Aircraft—Many commercial airlines prohibit the use of radios on board. Switch OFF your radio before boarding an aircraft or check the airline rules.Blasting Areas—To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your radio OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.Potentially Explosive Atmospheres—Turn your radio OFF and do not remove your battery when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks from your battery in such areas could cause an explosion or re resulting in bodily injury or even death.Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline stations, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liqueed petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.Tracking System Owner's Manual F7 7 1/16/2007 1:51:37 PM
viii Tracking System Owner’s Manual - DraftIntroductIon > Caring for the Tracking SystemThe cases are constructed of high-quality materials and does not require user maintenance except cleaning. Cleaning the Cases Clean both unit’s outer casing (except for the receiver’s screen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage plastic components.Cleaning the ScreenClean the Receiver’s screen using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner if needed. If these are used, apply the liquid to the cloth, and then gently wipe the screen with the moistened cloth.StorageDo not store the Tracking System where prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may occur (such as in the trunk of a car) as permanent damage may result. User information, such as waypoints and routes, are retained in the unit’s memory without the need for external power. It is always a good practice to back up important user data by manually recording it or downloading it to a PC (transferring it to MapSource software).Water ImmersionThe Tracking System is waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7. It can withstand immersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Prolonged submersion can cause damage to the unit. After submersion, be certain to wipe and air dry the unit before reuse or charging.

Tracking System Owner’s Manual - Draft 13BaSIc operatIon > The Tracker PageThe Tracker Page provides distance and direction information for each transmitter being tracked. Up to three transmitters can be displayed on the Tracker page at one time with a compass indicating the direction of each and a scrollable list indicating the distance from the receiver. The rst time you use the Receiver and Transmitter together you must setup the Tracker Page. The Tracking System uses a low-power, 2.4 GHz, wireless link for short range (approx. 20 feet) two-way communication to set Transmitter identity conguration. It uses radio one-way communication allowing the Transmitter to report GPS position data to the Receiver. You can track up to ten different transmitters using one Receiver.Touching the Receiver to the Transmitter ensures a clear path of wireless communication and allows the Receiver to communicate with the Transmitter.Once recognized by the Receiver, the Transmitter is placed on the Transmitter List where it can be viewed on an Info page where it can be renamed and data about its current state, distance, distance traveled, and average speed can be viewed. Update rates for position reporting can be set, battery capacity, communication and GPS signal strength can also be viewed.Each additional transmitter added to the Transmitter list must be synched to the receiver and given a specic identity to avoid conicts in position and data reporting.Tracking System Owner's Manual F13 13 1/16/2007 1:51:43 PM
14 Tracking System Owner’s Manual - DraftBaSIc operatIon > GPS oPeratIonThis section explains some of the more common operations you can perform with your Receiver including creating and using waypoints, using the Find Menu, and how to create and use tracks and routes.Creating and Using WaypointsWaypoints are locations or landmarks you record and store in your GPS. They are locations you might want to return to later. You can add waypoints to routes and even create a Go To directly to the selected waypoint.Waypoints can be created using three methods. You can press the MARK key while at a location, create a waypoint on the Map Page, or enter coordinates for a waypoint manually.Marking Your Current LocationUse the MARK key to quickly capture your current location to create a new waypoint. You must have a valid position (2D or 3D) x to mark your current location.Creating Waypoints Using the MapYou can quickly create a waypoint using the Map Page. When you pan the map and move the arrow over a map item, you see a highlighted description of the item.Creating a Waypoint Using CoordinatesYou can manually enter location coordinates to create a waypoint. This method is useful for creating a waypoint at a specic latitude/longitude position from a chart.Editing WaypointsYou can edit waypoints when created or at a later date. You can change the symbol, name, note, location, elevation, and depth.Deleting WaypointsYou can delete waypoints from the Waypoint Page.Averaging the Waypoint’s LocationYou can average a new waypoint location over time to produce a more accurate location.Tracking System Owner's Manual F14 14 1/16/2007 1:51:43 PM
Tracking System Owner’s Manual - Draft 15BaSIc operatIon > NOTE: You must have a GPS Satellite x before you can average a waypoint’s location. You cannot average a waypoint after it has been saved to the waypoints list and Mark Waypoint page closed.Projecting a WaypointYou can create a new waypoint by projecting the distance and bearing from a specic location to a new location.Proximity WaypointsUse the Proximity Waypoints Page to dene an alarm circle around a stored waypoint location.Use Proximity Waypoints to dene the boundaries of a hunting area.Prior to hunting a parcel of land, mark the a perimeter boundary with proximity waypoints on the Map Page. Set the alarm to sound when you near the boundary to prevent encroachment onto to posted land. Use the Map Page panning arrow to scroll to the general area you plan to hunt, then zoom in to view the area in detail. Place the panning arrow on a boundary and press ENTER to mark it as a waypoint. Continue placing boundary markers (waypoints) until you have dened a perimeter. Use the Set Proximity option from each waypoint to activate the boundary alarm. Using the Find MenuUse the Find Menu to search for waypoints, cities, and exits included in the Receiver basemap. You can also nd saved waypoint and geocache points. Additional icons appear depending on the optional BlueChart or MapSource data loaded to the unit. Press FIND to open the Find Menu.When you access a Find group list, it contains only those items near your current location or the pointer (if active). The options menu for each category contains a submenu of search options, such as Find By Name, Find Nearest (near your current location), Select Symbol (for waypoints), Change Reference (by moving the pointer to a new location), Nearest Containing (a keyword you enter), Select Category (for those groups, such as Food & Drink and Lodging). Use these options to shorten your search. Tracking System Owner's Manual F15 15 1/16/2007 1:51:44 PM

Each information page contains three on-screen buttons. Different buttons appear depending on whether you are selecting a Find item to navigate to or adding a Find item to a route list.Find Information Page Options MenuThe Options Menu for each information page contains options for using a Find item as a tool for navigation. Finding a WaypointThe Waypoints Page contains a list of all saved waypoints. Waypoints are stored in alphanumeric order and are also identied by a symbol assigned from a list of symbol types.Finding a GeocacheUse the Geocache icon to view the list of geocache locations created using your Receiver or downloaded from your computer. A geocache location is a waypoint with a special geocache symbol assigned to give special signicance and to allow it to be separated from others on the waypoints list. For more information about creating a geocache point, see Geocache Setup instructions on page 72 and www.garmin.com/products/gpsmap60csx/.When a geocache is found, the unit marks the cache as found, logs an entry into the calendar, and provide an option that, when activated, shows the nearest cache.Finding a CityUse the Cities icon on the Find Menu to nd any city listed in the mapping database (either in the basemap or from downloaded detailed mapping data).Finding an Interstate ExitUse the Exits icon on the Find Menu to nd an interstate exit.Tracking System Owner's Manual F16 16 1/16/2007 1:51:44 PM

When you enter the street number, street name, and city, the nd feature matches that data with addresses in the map database.Finding an IntersectionIf you downloaded detailed mapping data, use the Intersections icon on the Find Menu to search for an intersection. When you enter the two street names and a city, the Find feature matches them with intersections in the map database.Searching for a Point of InterestIf you downloaded MapSource detailed mapping, you can use the All Points of Interest icon on the Find Menu to locate a nearby restaurant, lodging, landmark, public building, and so on. If you are searching for a restaurant that is part of a national chain, only the restaurant nearest to your location is shown when you search using the Find Nearest option. If you search using the By Name option, all of the locations for that chain in the mapping database are shown with the closest to your current location listed rst. Custom Points of InterestYou can create your own category for points of interest by using the Garmin POI Loader utility available from the Garmin Web site: www.garmin.com/products/poiloader/. Follow the instructions for use on the Web site.Using TracksThe Tracks feature creates an electronic breadcrumb trail or “track log” on the Map Page as you travel. The track log contains information about points along its path, including time, location, elevation, and depth for each point (depth requires NMEA input, see page 92). The track log starts recording as soon as the unit gets a location x. The percentage of memory used by the current track log appears at the top of the Tracks Page. After you clear the track log, it shows 0%. Use the Saved Track page to rename the track, view the track distance and calculated area, and specify a color for the track on the Map Page.Tracking System Owner's Manual F17 17 1/16/2007 1:51:44 PM
18 Tracking System Owner’s Manual - DraftBaSIc operatIon > Track ProlesAfter you save a track, you have a record of the path you traveled and a track altitude prole.

26 Tracking System Owner’s Manual - DraftMaIn paGeS > Restoring DefaultsUse the Restore Defaults option to return the map settings to factory settings. Compass PageDuring active navigation, the Compass Page guides you to your destination with a graphic compass display and a bearing or course pointer.When navigating, the Compass Page provides navigation data and directions. It uses a graphic compass ring, a bearing or course pointer and digital data elds to show information such as current speed, distance to the next point on the route, and estimated arrival time. The rotating compass ring indicates the direction you are heading. The Bearing and Course Pointer indicate the direction (bearing) to your destination, relative to your current heading direction. The compass ring and bearing or course pointer work independently to show your direction of movement and the direction to your destination. You can choose the Bearing Pointer or Course Pointer for guidance.The compass ring is an electronic compass that functions like a magnetic compass when you are stationary. When you are moving and reach a pre-set speed, it uses data from the GPS receiver to maintain your heading. When you stop (after a pre-set time), it again operates like a magnetic compass. The compass ring is especially helpful when using a paper map or chart with your Receiver for navigation. When the electronic compass is on, a compass icon appears in the status bar.Using the Electronic CompassWhen you turn the electronic compass off, it stays off until you turn it on again. However, sometimes when you turn the electronic compass on, the Receiver overrides the compass and uses the GPS receiver to track your heading. In fact, when you are moving at a steady rate, the GPS receiver operates the compass. When stationary, the electronic compass is active to provide you accurate headings. You can customize the criteria for switching between the electronic compass and the GPS as explained in the Heading setup section on page 75.Tracking System Owner's Manual F26 26 1/16/2007 1:51:45 PM

28 Tracking System Owner’s Manual - DraftMaIn paGeS > Sight ‘N Go NavigationSight ‘N Go allows you to set a course to a point you can see in the distance.Using the Course Pointer or Bearing PointerThe bearing pointer and course pointer work independently of each other. The bearing pointer indicates the direction to your destination, and the course pointer indicates your relationship to a course line leading to the destination.If the bearing pointer arrow is pointing straight up, for example, you are going directly to your destination. If it points any direction other than up, turn toward that direction until the arrow is pointing up and then continue in that direction. The bearing pointer always points to the destination, regardless of the direction you are moving. Most efcient if you must move around obstacles (lakes, private property, etc.) in your path.If you are using the course pointer option, and you drift away from the line of travel from your original location to your destination, the course deviation indicator (an arrow with horizontal dotted line) provides graphic indication of drift (right or left) according to the scale shown at the edge of the compass ring. Move to the right or left to get back on course. This is most efcient if you are navigating on water or where there are no major obstacles in your path. It also helps you avoid hazards to either side of the course, such as shoals or submerged rocks.Data FieldsYou can show 3 or 4 data elds on the Compass Page.Altimeter PageThe Altimeter Page shows you the current elevation, rate of ascent or descent, a prole of elevation changes over distance or time, or a prole of pressure changes over time.

Tracking System Owner’s Manual - Draft 49appendIx > What Is WAAS/EGNOS?The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is an FAA funded service to improve the overall integrity of the GPS signal for users in North America. The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) is the European version of WAAS and operates in the same manner.WAAS is made up of satellites and ground reference stations positioned across the United States that monitor GPS satellite data. Master stations, located on either coast, collect data from the reference stations and create a GPS data correction message. Master station uplinks the correction message to the WAAS GEO satellites using a ground uplink station. Then WAAS GEO satellites broadcast the WAAS corrected signal to user in the service area.According to the FAA’s Web site, testing of WAAS in September 2002 confirmed an accuracy performance of 1-2 meters horizontal and 2-3 meters vertical throughout the majority of the continental United States and portions of Alaska.WAAS and EGNOS are just two service providers that adhere to the MOPS (Minimum Operational Performance Standard) for global satellite based augmentation systems (SBAS). Eventually there are to be several more services of worldwide geostationary communication satellites that broadcast integrity information and differential correction data as transmitted by ground reference stations. All SBAS systems use the same receiver frequency; therefore, any operational SBAS system should be capable of providing your GPS unit with increased accuracy at any location in the world.Currently, enabling WAAS on your Receiver in regions that are not supported by ground stations, may not improve accuracy, even when receiving signals from an SBAS satellite. In fact, it can degrade the accuracy to less than that provided by GPS satellites alone. For this reason, when you enable WAAS on your Garmin GPS receiver, the receiver automatically uses the method that achieves the best accuracy. For more information, go to http://gps.faa.gov/Programs/WAAS/waas.htm.Tracking System Owner's Manual F49 49 1/16/2007 1:51:49 PM
50 Tracking System Owner’s Manual - DraftappendIx > Map Datums and Location FormatsWhat Are Map Datums?A datum is a mathematical model of the Earth that approximates the shape of the Earth, and enables calculations to be carried out in a consistent and accurate manner. The datum is physically represented by a framework of ground monuments whose positions have been accurately measured and calculated on this reference surface. Lines of latitude and longitude on a map or chart are referenced to a speci c map datum. Every chart has a map datum reference and the Receiver can be set to match most of those commonly used.If you are navigating and comparing the GPS coordinates to a map, chart, or other reference, set the map datum in the GPS unit to the same datum as the map to ensure the most accurate navigation.What Is a Location Format?Your current location is viewed on the GPS in the form of coordinates. Because different maps and charts use different location formats, Garmin GPS units allow you to choose the correct coordinate system for the type of map you are using. The most common format is latitude and longitude, which is used by all Garmin units. You can choose to change the location format for other coordinate systems. UTM/UPS (Universal Transverse Mercator/Universal Polar Stereographic) projection formats are easy-to-use metric grids that are found on most USGS topographic quadrangle maps. You can also select one of several other grids, including a user-de nable grid (for the advanced user).Map Datums are based on a mathematical model of the Earth.Tracking System Owner's Manual F50 50 1/16/2007 1:51:50 PM
