IMPORTANT: READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR 010-01097-00/010-01113-00 System:
Exposure to Radio Frequency SignalsYour 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 scientific 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. vi Antenna CareUse only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, 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 DevicesMost modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless radio. PacemakersThe 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 AidsSome 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 Owners Manual - Draft Tracking System Owner's Manual F6 6 1/16/2007 1:51:37 PM IntroductIon >
Potentially Explosive AtmospheresTurn 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 fire 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 liquefied 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. Other Medical DevicesIf 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. VehiclesRF 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 FacilitiesTurn your radio OFF in any facility where posted notices so require. Commercial AircraftMany commercial airlines prohibit the use of radios on board. Switch OFF your radio before boarding an aircraft or check the airline rules. Blasting AreasTo 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.

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 units outer casing (except for the receivers 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 Receivers 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 units 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. viii Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft Tracking System Owner's Manual F8 8 1/16/2007 1:51:38 PM Warning Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury. When installing the Receiver in a vehicle, place the unit securely so that it does not interfere with vehicle operating controls or obstruct the drivers view of the road (see diagram). Do not mount where drivers field of vision is blocked. Do not place unsecured on the vehicle dash. Do not mount in front of an airbag field of deployment. Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do not become distracted by the Receiver while driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent viewing the screen of the Receiver while driving and use voice prompts when possible. Do not enter destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring prolonged use of the units controls while driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting such operations. When navigating, carefully compare information shown on the Receiver to all available navigation sources, including information from street signs, visual sightings, and maps. IntroductIon >
For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing navigation. The Transmitter contains a replaceable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The battery may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not disassemble, heat above 140F (60C), or incinerate. Keep used battery away from children. Only replace with Garmin Lithium-ion Battery Pack (Garmin Part Number 010-10XXX-00). No other lithium-ion battery is compatible with the unit. Dispose of used battery or unit properly. Contact your local waste disposal department for information on properly disposing of lithium-ion batteries. Use the electronic chart in the Receiver only to facilitate, not to replace, the use of authorized government charts. Official government charts and notices to mariners contain all information needed to navigate safely. When navigating in an aircraft, use the Receiver only as an aid for VFR navigation. Use terrain and obstacle data only as an aid to situational awareness. Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft ix Tracking System Owner's Manual F9 9 1/16/2007 1:51:38 PM IntroductIon >
Caution 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 governments 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.

You can setup the System, Display, Alert Tones, the page sequence, the Map Page, Routes, Time, Units of Measure, etc. The Navigation Utilities Page This page allows to access utilities used to enhance navigation capabilities. They include; Trip Computer, Compass, Altimeter, Tracks, Routes, Highway, Proximity Alarms, Turn Previews, and Active Routes. The Hunt & Fish Page The Hunt & Fish page is an almanac of the best times for hunting or fishing for any given location. The Sun & Moon Page The Sun & Moon page provides a graphic representation of sun and moon positions for any time., annual date, and location on Earth. It also shows sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset times for a selected time, date, and location. The Satellite Page The Satellite page shows the GPS receiver status, satellite locations, satellite signal strength and receivers current location. The Transmitter List The Transmitter List keeps track of all transmitters being monitored by the Receiver. Data pages for each transmitter can be accessed from this list. The Map Page The Map Page is the main navigation page. This page consists of a map defining the area around your current location. The map displays your current location as a triangular arrow point and the location of transmitters as a named or numbered point with a dotted track line to indicate its path of travel. The Map Page also indicates direction of travel and moves the map with you as you travel.
Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft Tracking System Owner's Manual F12 12 1/16/2007 1:51:43 PM 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 first 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 configuration. 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 Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft BaSIc operatIon >
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 specific identity to avoid conflicts 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) fix 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 specific 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 Waypoints Location You can average a new waypoint location over time to produce a more accurate location. Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft Tracking System Owner's Manual F14 14 1/16/2007 1:51:43 PM Note: You must have a GPS Satellite fix before you can average a waypoints 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 specific location to a new location. Proximity Waypoints Use the Proximity Waypoints Page to define an alarm circle around a stored waypoint location. Use Proximity Waypoints to define 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 Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft BaSIc operatIon >
press ENTER to mark it as a waypoint. Continue placing boundary markers (waypoints) until you have defined 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 find 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.

Recent Finds 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 identified 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 significance 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 find 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 find an interstate exit. Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft Tracking System Owner's Manual F16 16 1/16/2007 1:51:44 PM Finding an Address If you downloaded detailed mapping data, use the Addresses icon on the Find Menu to find an address. When you enter the street number, street name, and city, the find 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 Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft BaSIc operatIon >
mapping database are shown with the closest to your current location listed first. 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 fix. 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 BaSIc operatIon >
Track Profiles After you save a track, you have a record of the path you traveled and a track altitude profile. You can create a Track Elevation Profile from Digital Elevation Models (DEM) maps
(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 Profile. 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 final 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
Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft Tracking System Owner's Manual F18 18 1/16/2007 1:51:44 PM 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. BaSIc operatIon >
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.

Restoring Defaults Use the Restore Defaults option to return the map settings to factory settings. 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 fields 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.
appears 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 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. Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft Tracking System Owner's Manual F26 26 1/16/2007 1:51:45 PM 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 appears in the status bar when the Icon 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 first 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 fields, 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 efficient 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 efficient 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 fields on the Compass Page. Altimeter Page The Altimeter Page shows you the current elevation, rate of ascent or descent, a profile of elevation changes over distance or time, or a profile of pressure changes over time.

Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft Tracking System Owner's Manual F38 38 1/16/2007 1:51:46 PM 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 jumpmasters 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. Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft MaIn Menu >
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.

Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft Tracking System Owner's Manual F48 48 1/16/2007 1:51:49 PM 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 FAAs 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 Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft appendIx >
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 Map Datums are based on a mathematical model of the Earth. 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 specifi c map datum. Every chart has a map datum reference and the Receiver can be set to match most
0 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-
defi nable grid (for the advanced user). Tracking System Owners Manual - Draft Tracking System Owner's Manual F50 50 1/16/2007 1:51:50 PM appendIx >
