About GPS



The Map page is the main operating page of the eMap. It provides position, direction, distance, map features, speed, time and location information.



The Map Page can be expanded to fill the full display area, oriented to either North or to Track Up to match your direction of travel. You can change the map scale by Zooming In or Zooming Out. You can customize the way in which map details are displayed.

 

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of 24 satellites which circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit information to earth. The eMap must continuously “see” at least three of these satellites to calculate your position and track your

movement. At times, additional satellites may be needed to determine a position.

By using an almanac (a timetable of satellite numbers and their orbits) stored in the receiver’s memory, the eMap can determine the distance and position of any GPS satellite and use this information to compute your position.

The Map Page is the main operating page of the eMap. All system programming and options are designed to support navigation activity using the Map Page.

The Map Page shows your movement using a real- time track log (an electronic bread crumb trail that appears directly on the map as you’re traveling), and your present position as a triangle icon in the center of the map. The Map Page also shows any nearby lakes, rivers, highways and towns. Use the zoom keys (IN and OUT) to adjust the map to the desired scale.

The map can be oriented with the top of the page always pointing north or it can automatically rotate to keep your current direction of travel (track) at the top of the screen. The default setting is ‘North Up’, which keeps the top of the page always pointing north. Refer to the section titled GPS Info Page.

Nearby waypoints are depicted on the map with any one of over 50 different symbols, with the waypoint name shown directly above the symbol. We’ll cover more about the eMap’s waypoint features and the Map Page in this reference section.

Start Up Your eMap

To Start Up (initialize) the eMap, take the unit outside and find an open area where the built-in antenna has a clear view of the sky. You may either hold the receiver at a comfortable height with the antenna pointing up, or mount the receiver on the dash of a vehicle or on a bike. Refer to Appendix A.

To turn the eMap on, press and release the POWER key.

The Title Page and up to two information pages will be displayed while the unit conducts a self test. Once testing is complete, the these pages will be replaced by the Map Page. The first time you use the eMap it must determine its location using a feature called ‘AutoLocate’. This is also necessary when you have moved the unit more than 500 miles from where it was last used. If this is necessary the eMap will automatically begin initializa- tion, which should take from five to seven minutes depending on the overhead satellites in view. If there are not enough satellites in view to initialize, the eMap will pop-up a ‘Poor Satellite Reception’ message with three options. A brief explanation for each option will appear when each is highlighted. Press the ENTER key to confirm your option choice.

The three options are:

Use Indoors - Select this option if you are indoors. (For best performance) This option turns off the GPS receiver to conserve power and speed Map Page updating.

New Location - Select this option if you have moved hundreds of miles. This option allows you to select a new location from the map or select the AutoLocate feature which will systematically search the sky for satellites until your location is determined.

Continue Acquiring - Select this option if no other option applies. You may need to move to a location that allows a clear, unobstructed view of the sky.

After initialization the eMap usually provides a position fix in less than one minute. Your eMap is now ready to use!

Automatic shut-off times from 15 seconds to 2 minutes (since last key press) are available. To program timing options, refer to the section on Setup Options.

To turn the backlighting On and Off:

1. Press and release the BACKLIGHT/CONTRAST key. If set for automatic timeout it will shut-off automati- cally at the set time after the last key press. Pressing any key will re-activate the backlight. If the timeout is set for ‘Stays On’ it will not turn off. To turn the backlighting Off without waiting for the timeout, press the BACKLIGHT/CONTRAST key again.

2. You can also turn the backlight function ON or OFF by pressing and holding the BACKLIGHT/ CONTRAST key until the ‘Backlight/Contrast’ window appears. Then, press the ROCKER keypad UP for ON or DOWN for OFF. (Refer to the illustration to the left.)

Once you’ve stored a waypoint in memory, you can use the eMap to guide you to it by using the Goto feature. A Goto is really nothing more than a straight-line course from your present position to a location you’ve selected. A Goto can be performed by specifying the location from the Waypoints by Name List, Cities by Name List, Nearest Waypoints List, Nearest Cities List, or Nearest Exits List.

Optional MetroGuide map cartridges allow you to Goto Points of Interest, Addresses and Intersections.

To Goto a listed location:

1. With the List containing the desired location displayed, use the ROCKER keypad to highlight the desired waypoint, city, or exit, etc.

2. Press the ENTER key to display the page containing information about that location.

3. Highlight the Goto button on that page, and then press the ENTER key to navigate to the selected location. A route line directly from your present location to that location will be displayed on the Map Page.

Once a Goto destination is selected, use the Map Page to navigate as you head toward your destination. A bearing arrow provides directional guidance and ‘Distance To Go’ and ‘Time To Go’ fields keep track of your progress.

The GPS Information Page provides a visual reference of various receiver functions, including current satellite coverage, receiver operating mode, estimated accuracy, elevation, speed, and current location. As the receiver locks onto satellites, a signal strength bar will appear for each satellite in view, with the appropriate satellite number (01-32) underneath.

Each satellite has a 30-second data transmission that must be collected before that satellite can be used for navigation. Once a fix has been calculated, the eMap will update your position, track and speed, by using the best satellite signals.

You can use the GPS Information Page to set the Sky View orientation either ‘North Up’ or ‘Track Up’. You can set your location, set your elevation from the pop-up options list.

When you first turn the unit on the page header will read ‘Acquiring Satellites’. When it locks onto enough satellites to navigate it will read ‘2D GPS Location’ or ‘3D GPS Location’.

The eMap is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the unit using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage plastic components.

Storage

Storing alkaline batteries in the unit for extended periods is not recommended. In order to reduce the chance for battery leakage in the battery compartment and map data cartridge slot, remove the batteries when storing the unit for more than six months.

Water Immersion

The eMap is not waterproof. It may withstand momentary immersion if retrieved quickly and wiped dry. However, the battery compartment and map cartridge slot may retain residual water and should be wiped out with a clean cloth and allowed to air dry with the compartment cover removed before reuse.

Impact Resistance

The eMap unit will withstand occasional impact from hand to floor without major damage. However, if frequently used in an outdoor environment, the Impact Resistant Cover is recommended. Refer to the List of Optional Accessories on page 29.

Interface formats are selected from the Setup “Interface’ on page 28 of this manual. The input/output lines on your eMap unit are RS-232 compatible, allowing easy interface to a wide range of external devices, including PC’s, differential beacon receivers, marine autopilots and /or a second GPS receiver.

The NMEA 0183 version 2.0 interface format is supported by the eMap and enables the unit to drive up to three NMEA devices.

NMEA 0183 Version 2.0 Approved Sentences:

GPGGA, GPGLL, GPGSA, GPGSV, GPRMB, GPRMC, GPRTE, GPWPL, GPBOD

GARMIN Proprietary Sentences:

PGRME (estimated error), PGRMM (map datum), PGRMZ (altitude), PSLIB (beacon receiver control)


DGPS (Differential GPS) corrections are accepted in RTCM SC-104 version 2.0 format through the ‘Data In’ line. The GARMIN GBR 21 is the recommended beacon receiver for use with the eMap. Other beacon receivers with the correct RTCM format may be used, but may not correctly display status or allow tuning control from the GPS unit.

The eMap may be hard-wired to a serial connector using the Data Cable (see Appendix A for ordering information). Refer to the wiring diagram and the eMap unit data connection illustrated below.

The optional Data Cable is provided to connect your eMap to a PC-compatible computer’s serial port (PC Interface Cable) .
