[. . . ] SAVE - When SAVE is highlighted, the coordinates can be saved in memory. In addition, the saved waypoint coordinates can be retrieved using the GPS MENU page and highlighting the WAYPOINTS field. SEND - To transmit the current coordinates, together with user (your) ID, to a remote user GMR-GPS unit tuned to the same channel (and CTCSS sub-code), simply highlight the SEND field and press the Enter switch. At the receiving unit, a loud special tone will be heard signifying receipt of the coordinate information. This information can also be accessed from the GP LOCATOR field in the GPS MENU display. NOTE: Waypoint names cannot be sent (transmitted) when the SEND function is used. MAP VIEW - This option allows you to view the waypoint you just entered on the map page. To do this, highlight MAP VIEW and press Enter; the map page will appear showing the waypoint at the given coordinates with its symbol and waypoint number. Press PAGE to return to the MARK page. The MAP Page The map page presents a picture of where you are going. You, represented by the flashing square, proceed toward your destination and leave a trail, or track log. As you travel, you can make use of waypoints (specific geographic or man-made objects) that can mark your route as you travel. These waypoints also make it easy for you to retrace your steps, establishing a route back to your starting point. To better appreciate where you are and the direction you are headed in, the map page includes several other useful features to guide your way: 1. A map scale is displayed indicating the relative distance in user-selected units; just toggle the Up/Down wheel key to adjust the map scale for a convenient display. A status bar appears at the bottom of the display signifying the amount of memory used between 0 and 100%. Two information bars at the top of the display automatically scroll through the following parameters, changing the data presentation about every 3 seconds: a. Present Position (Longitude and Latitude) Altitude Current Date and Time Heading (HDG) Speed of travel Overall Trip (TRIP) time Odometer (ODO) Bearing (BRG) Distance (DST) traveled to target (waypoint or endpoint) 5. When the Enter switch is pressed, a sub-menu appears in the center of this screen, and provides several options related to your trip; these options can be highlighted using the Up/Down wheel key; then press Enter to change the highlighted data: 27 CURRENT LONGITUDE CURRENT LATITUDE ALTITUDE CURRENT TIME HEADING TRAVEL SPEED TRIP TIME ODO (ODOMETER) BEARING DISTANCE MAP SCALE MAP PAGE SUB-MENU PRESS ENTER ANIMATED BOX SYMBOL (YOU) OR QUESTION MARK (LOSS OF TRACK) TRUE NORTH POINTER PERCENT MEMORY USED BAR The Map Page a. - When this item is highlighted, press Enter to orient the top of the map display with respect to waypoints or targets ahead of your intended track, or with respect to True North. - When this item is highlighted, press Enter to select the display scale Automatic or Manual zoom function. - When this item is highlighted, press Enter to turn the display symbols ON or OFF. - When this item is highlighted, press Enter to store a particular trip in the GPS TRACKS function. [. . . ] The 15 channels of the GMR-GPS are shared on a `take turns' basis. A common code of ethics/courtesy is to switch to another vacant channel and not to attempt to talk over someone who is already using the channel you first selected. The GMR-GPS has been designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field. To avoid interference, it is recommended that you do not use the units closer than 5 feet apart.
