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 scientic 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, modications, 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 vii
IntroductIon >
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 liqueed 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.

Caring for the Tracking System
The 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 Screen
Clean 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.
Storage
Do 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 Immersion
The 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.

Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous
situations may result in injury or property damage.
Use the GPS functionality of the Receiver only as a
navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the Receiver for
any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction,
distance, location, or topography. This product should
not be used to determine ground proximity for aircraft
navigation.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
United States government, which is solely responsible for
its accuracy and maintenance. The government’s system
is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and
performance of all GPS equipment, including the Receiver.
Although the Receiver is a precision navigation device, any
navigation device can be misused or misinterpreted and,
therefore, become unsafe.
Map Data Information: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography
that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify in
product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete
data to some extent. This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and accurate digital data is either not
available or prohibitively expensive.

The Tracker Page
The 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
conguration. 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
specic identity to avoid conicts in position and data
reporting.

GPS oPeratIon
This 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 Waypoints
Waypoints 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 Location
Use 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 Map
You 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 Coordinates
You can manually enter location coordinates to create
a waypoint. This method is useful for creating a
waypoint at a specic latitude/longitude position from
a chart.
Editing Waypoints
You can edit waypoints when created or at a later
date. You can change the symbol, name, note,
location, elevation, and depth.
Deleting Waypoints
You can delete waypoints from the Waypoint Page.
Averaging the Waypoint’s Location
You 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 15
BaSIc 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 Waypoint
You can create a new waypoint by projecting the
distance and bearing from a specic location to a new
location.
Proximity Waypoints
Use the Proximity Waypoints Page to dene an alarm
circle around a stored waypoint location.
Use Proximity Waypoints to dene 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
dened a perimeter. Use the Set Proximity option
from each waypoint to activate the boundary alarm.
Using the Find Menu
Use 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.

The Recent Finds Page shows a list of the last 50
items you have searched for or gone to recently.
Using the Find Item Information Page
When you select an item from the Find item list and
press ENTER, an information page shows detailed
information about the item. 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 Menu
The Options Menu for each information page contains
options for using a Find item as a tool for navigation.
Finding a Waypoint
The Waypoints Page contains a list of all saved
waypoints. Waypoints are stored in alphanumeric
order and are also identied by a symbol assigned
from a list of symbol types.
Finding a Geocache
Use 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 signicance 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 City
Use 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 Exit
Use the Exits icon on the Find Menu to nd an
interstate exit.

Finding an Address
If you downloaded detailed mapping data, use the Addresses
icon on the Find Menu to nd an address. When you enter
the street number, street name, and city, the nd feature
matches that data with addresses in the map database.
Finding an Intersection
If 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 Interest
If 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 Interest
You 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 Tracks
The 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.

(MapSource U.S. Topo 24K), which include
elevation data contained in the map. When these
types of maps are available, a Use Map Data
- Use Track Data option menu appears when
you select Prole. Refer to the Garmin Web site,
www.garmin.com/cartography/ontheTrail/, for
more information about MapSource U.S. Topo
24K maps.
Navigating a Saved Track
You can save your track log to use later as a
TracBack. When initiated, a TracBack route takes you
back to the oldest stored track log point.
Creating and Using Routes
Route navigation allows you to create a sequence of
intermediate waypoints that lead you to your nal
destination. The Receiver lets you store 50 routes with
up to 250 points each.
Creating a Route
You can create or modify a route using the Routes
Page, and you can add waypoints to a route from
the Find Menu. You can create more complex routes
using a PC and MapSource mapping programs and
then transfer them to the unit memory. Auto-Routes,
which are generated when you select Go To for a
Find item, map item, or waypoint, cannot be saved.
Saved routes with more than 50 waypoints cannot be
navigated using the Follow Roads option.
Methods of navigating to a destination
• If you select the Go To button on the Waypoint
Page or other Find Menu items, the Receiver
creates a straight path (point to point) from
your current location to that location.
• If you select the Navigate button on a Route

Page, the Receiver creates a route composed
of several user waypoints or Find Menu items,
with the last being your destination. It navigates
directly from point to point. Before each turn
in the route, a turn page shows a guidance
message and graphic of the turn. You can view
the turns at any time by pressing up or down on
the ROCKER while the route is active.
• Both navigation methods change when you
select the Follow Roads option on the Routing
Setup Page. Both Go To navigation and point to
point routing become routes that allow you to
navigate using roads.
The routes use existing roadways (either those
in the basemap or from downloaded detailed
mapping) to automatically calculate a route to
your destination. Turns on roadways are added
to the Active Route Page and are preceded by a
guidance message with a graphic of the turn. If
there are not enough roads at your location to
calculate a route, a message appears.
Navigating a Route
After you create a route, you can begin navigation
immediately or save it to the Saved Routes list.
When navigating a route, a guidance message and
a graphic view of turns in the route appear as you
approach each one. Using the Follow Roads option
on the Routing Setup Page increases the number of
turns and shows an Active Route Page with a list of
turns. If you selected the Off Road option, you can
view only the list of points for a route from the Active
Route Page. See Routing Setup on page 71.
Editing a Route
After you create a route, use the Route Page to edit,
change the route name, and review route points.
Select Distance to enter a radius so that when you are
within the entered distance, the Receiver leads you to
the next point on your route.

Compass Page
During 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 Compass
When 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.

To turn the electronic compass on or off:
1. Press and hold the PAGE key to turn the
electronic compass on or off. The Compass
Icon appears in the status bar when the
electronic compass is on. When you are not
using the electronic compass, turn it off to
conserve batteries. When it is turned off, the
unit uses the GPS receiver for navigation.
2. Hold the Receiver level to get an accurate
electronic compass reading. You can obtain
the most accurate reading if it is calibrated.
(See the following page for calibration
instructions.)
Calibrating the Electronic Compass
When you rst use the Receiver or after you install
new batteries, you have to calibrate the electronic
compass outdoors. The accuracy of the electronic
compass is adversely affected if the unit is not held
level or you are near objects that generate magnetic
elds, such as cars or buildings.

Sight ‘N Go Navigation
Sight ‘N Go allows you to set a course to a point you
can see in the distance.
Using the Course Pointer or Bearing
Pointer
The 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 efcient 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 efcient 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 Fields
You can show 3 or 4 data elds on the Compass Page.
Altimeter Page
The Altimeter Page shows you the current elevation,
rate of ascent or descent, a prole of elevation
changes over distance or time, or a prole of pressure
changes over time.
The Status eld at the bottom of the page shows the
current elevation and your current rate of ascent or
descent when moving. It can also show the ambient
pressure and time of measurement.

Jumpmaster
Jumpmaster is an accessory designed for
experienced skydivers. A jumpmaster is the
individual in charge of a group of skydivers
coordinating a group or cargo drop. A list of
abbreviations and acronyms for Jumpmaster
settings can be found on page 81.
The Jumpmaster follows military guidelines for
calculating a jumpmaster’s high altitude release point
(HARP). This accessory can auto-detect when you
have jumped to begin navigating toward the desired
impact point (DIP) using the barometer and electronic
compass.
You can set the Jumpmaster to one of three types of
jumps: HAHO, HALO, or Static. The jump type
selected determines what additional setup information is
required. For all jump types, altitudes (drop or opening)
are measured in feet above ground level (AGL).
A desired impact point (DIP) must be set for all
jumps. This is a waypoint that you have previously
marked or another location from the Find Menu where
you want to land.
For HAHO and HALO jumps, wind speeds and
directions can be entered for every 1,000 feet of canopy
drift (CD) and every 2,000 feet of free fall drift (FFD).
The wind setup must be completed before entering
values for forward throw and course to HARP.

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.

Map Datums and Location
Formats
What 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.
