August, 1994 190-00080-00 Rev. A PREFACE GARMIN thanks you for selecting our high performance, full featured Personal NavigatorTM. [. . . ] If you enter a waypoint name already used, you will be informed with the message, "WPT Exists _____" (where the blank will be filled in with the waypoint identifier). · Select a route to store the waypoint in by highlighting the route storage number field and pressing CLR until the desired route number is displayed. If the selected route is not empty, the AutoStore waypoint will be added to the end of the existing route. (HINT: Although the route storage number field is a cyclic field, to speed selection you may also enter the desired route number using the alphanumeric keys. ) · Press ENT to add the waypoint to the selected route. · Repeat these steps each time you arrive at a location you wish to add to the route, up to a total of 30 waypoints per route. 7-3 CHAPTER 8 GPS STATUS AND MENU PAGES The GPS 95 contains a vast array of functions, many of which you may custom tailor to your preferences. Additionally, the unit can provide current status information regarding the satellites being received and display messages relevant to your current operations. You may select the desired page by pressing PWR/STAT and, if needed, the appropriate softkey. Main Menu Bar Graph Page Satellite Skyview Page Satellite Status Page 8-1 8. 1 BAR GRAPH PAGE The GPS 95 continually monitors the status of the satellites it tracks and shows that information graphically on a Bar Graph Page. Satellite numbers (132) are represented along the bottom of the graph; signal strength (1 to 9, weakest to strongest) is represented along the side. Once a satellite is received, a bar is displayed showing signal strength for that satellite. If a satellite is visible, but not being received, the signal strength will be blank. The following is a list of possible receiver status messages: "Searching the Sky" The GPS 95 is in the process of searching the sky for visible satellites. You will also be informed of this condition with a "Searching the Sky" message. The GPS 95 is in the 3D navigation mode and will calculate altitude The GPS 95 is in the simulator mode. The GPS 95 needs altitude in order to start and/or continue 2D navigation. (See Section 5. 4. ) "Acquiring Satellites" "2D Navigation" "3D Navigation" "Simulating Navigation" "Poor Coverage" "Need Altitude" 8-2 "Not Usable" The GPS 95 is unusable (possibly due to incorrect initialization data or abnormal satellite conditions). Turn the unit off and back on. When operating with an RTCM input selected, the Bar Graph Display will denote each satellite for which differential corrections are available with a "D" at the bottom of the bar. (See Section 8. 12 for more information on RTCM input selections. ) Furthermore, the differential navigation status will also display at the top of the page. There are two additional receiver status messages available when using an RTCM input: "2D Nav - Diff" The GPS 95 has calculated a differentiallycorrected horizontal position. The GPS 95 has calculated a differentiallycorrected position, including altitude. "3D Nav - Diff" 8. 2 SATELLITE STATUS PAGE The Satellite Status Page shows the ID, azimuth, elevation, and signal quality of each visible satellite in a table format. The second line displays two system quality values dilution of precision (DOP) and estimated position error (EPE). EPE and DOP are advisory information only and are not to be used as absolute measures of accuracy. (See Appendix B for definitions of these terms. ) 8-3 8. 3 SATELLITE SKYVIEW PAGE The Satellite Skyview Page shows the azimuth and elevation of each visible satellite in a graphic sky view format. [. . . ] Do not attempt repairs yourself. ) Never allow gasoline or solvents to come into contact with your unit. Damage to the case may occur which is not covered by your warranty. C-13 When transporting your GPS 95 in the supplied carrying case, place the unit in the yoke mount, then place this assembly in the carrying case with the unit face down. This minimizes the chance that the GPS 95's display will be scratched by sharp edges on the yoke mount or by any loose items packed in the carrying case. The waypoints, routes, custom settings and other data stored in the GPS 95 are maintained by an internal battery. [. . . ]
