21 DEPTH ALARMS The depth alarms sound a tone when the bottom signal goes shallower than the shallow alarm’ s setting or deeper than the deep alarm’ s setting. F or e xample, if y ou set the shallow alar m to ten feet, the alarm will sound a tone if the bottom signal is less than ten f eet.
22 highlight the “Enabled” bo x in the Zone Alar m bo x, then press the ENT ke y . T o adjust the zone alarm, highlight the “Adjust Zone” label, then press the ENT ke y . A screen similar to the one at right appears. The zone alarm bar shows on the screen to the right of the zoom bar .
23 Keel Offset Nor mally , this unit measures water depth from the face of the transducer . Since the transducer is below the surf ace of the water , this distance is not the e xact water depth. If the transducer is one f oot below the surface , and the screen shows the water depth as 30 f eet, then the depth is actually 31 f eet.
24 speed sensor input - not the GPS. This distance (called W ater Distance) can be reset to zero using the “Reset W ater Distance” label on the “Sonar Setup” menu. Simply highlight “Reset W ater Distance” and press the ENT k ey . The menus automatically erase and the water distance displa y is reset to 0.

29 The system requires three satellites in order to deter mine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes f our satellites to deter mine both position and ele vation (your height abo ve sea le vel - also called altitude .) This is called a 3D fix. Remember , the unit must hav e a clear view of the satellites in order to receiv e their signals.
30 FINDING Y OUR POSITION A uto Search T o lock onto the satellites, the GPS receiv er needs to know it’ s current position, UTC time, and date. (Ele vation (altitude) is also used in the equa- tion, but it’ s rarely required to deter mine a position.
31 right appears. Now press the MENU ke y . Select “INITIALIZE GPS”. A screen similar to the one below right appears. Use the ar- row k eys to mo ve the crosshairs to your appro ximate location on the map .

32 tude is flashing, simply ignore the altitude displa y until it quits flashing.) REMEMBER, DO NO T NA VIGA TE WITH THIS UNIT UNTIL THE NUM- BERS ST OP FLASHING! Require DGPS Nor mally , the unit will flash the position and navigation data when it loses the satellite fix, but it does not flash the data when it loses the DGPS fix.
33 The GPS receiv er is tr acking satellites that are in bold type. The receive r hasn’t lock ed onto a satellite if the number is gra yed out, theref ore it isn’t being used to solve the position. Beneath the circular graph are the bar gr aphs, one f or each satellite in view .
34 When navigating to a wa ypoint, the Navigation screen looks lik e the one at right. Y our ground speed, trac k, distance and bear- ing to wa ypoint, and course are all shown digitally on this screen. Closing speed is also known as v elocity made good.
35 (Note: Maps must be downloaded from a MapCreate™ CD-R OM onto a MMC . The MMC must be installed into the unit bef ore maps will show on the screen. If your unit came with a MMC, MMC Interf ace , and CD-R OM, then follo w the instr uctions in the separate booklet.
36 “T wo P osition Formats” is similar to “Digital Data”, except it adds two present position bo xes , one showing latitude/longitude and the other shows the present po- sition in UTM. “T wo Maps” shows two maps side-by-side . Y ou can customize d each map with diff erent settings.
37 T o tur n the cursor on, simply press the arrow k ey in the direc- tion you w ant the cursor to move . This lets you vie w areas on the plotter that are aw ay from your present position. The zoom-in and zoom-out k eys work from the cursor’ s position when it’ s active - not the present position.
38 as the initial bearing to the waypoint. A “N” sho ws to help you see which direction is nor th when either the track-up or course-up mode is on. In the nor th-up view shown at right, we’ re trav elling southeast. In this view , the present position indicator appears to mov e to- wards the lo wer r ight side of the screen.
39 A uto Zoom This receiv er has an autozoom feature that eliminates much of the b utton pushing that competitive units f orce you to mak e. It works in conjunction with the navigation f eatures. First, recall a waypoint. (See the wa ypoint section f or more information on navigating to a wa ypoint.
40 Map Categories Drawn This menu determines which of the mapping f eatures are shown on the screen. This includes, wa ypoints, trails, icons, cities, highwa ys, etc. Y ou can selectively tur n on or off any of these items , customizing the map to your needs.

42 The list of sav ed trails shows on this screen. The check mark next to the trail’ s name means that this trail is displa yed on the map . An arrow on the right side of the screen points to the trail that’ s currently in use, ne xt to the num- ber of points in the trail.
43 Y ou can change this to the distance and bear ing from one point to the ne xt (leg), trav el time to each point, or arr ival time f or each point. T o change this data, select “Displa y Data”, then press the ENT ke y . Select the de- sired data from the list and press the EXIT ke y .
44 T rail Options This menu lets you change the wa y the trail updates occur . The options are automatic, time, or distance. When it’ s in the auto- matic mode, the unit doesn’t up- date the plot trail while y ou’re tr av- elling in a straight line .
45 W A YPOINTS This GPS receiver giv es you the ability to create y our own database of locations, called “waypoints”. Y ou can sav e your present position, cursor position, or enter a coordinate and sa ve it as a wa ypoint. For e xample, y ou may wish to store the location of your boat doc k as a wa ypoint before star ting on a tr ip.
