Making Travel Easier
Your GPS receiver makes travel easier through the following ways:
GoTo a Waypoint 1 – This GPS receiver guides you in a straight line to a single point.
GoTo a City/Town 1 – This GPS receiver is already programmed with hundreds of cities/towns worldwide and can guide you in a
straight line to a selected city/town.
NOTE: A city/town is much larger than the precise location indicated by the coordinates stored in your GPS receiver. See page 39 for details.
GoTo a Point of Interest, Address, Intersection or Exit2 – With optional computer software and an interface cable, this GPS
receiver can be connected to a computer to take advantage of powerful mapping programs and to transfer data back and forth between the
computer and your receiver. POI, addresses, intersections and exits transferred from a computer can be saved as waypoints to be used as
points within routes for navigation purposes or your receiver can guide you in a straight line to a selected POI, address, intersection or exit.
Navigate a Route 3 – This GPS receiver gives you the opportunity to select two or more points to create a route. You can then use your
GPS receiver to guide you in a straight line from point to point through your stored route.
Navigate a Track4 – This GPS receiver automatically keeps a record of your progress as you travel and gives you a graphic
representation of a “track log” of the path or track you have taken. You can use the track log to create a track that you can recall for
navigation. The track can be navigated in the forward or the reverse direction of the original travel.
Your GPS receiver is already programmed with a Base Map that includes locations of hundreds of worldwide cities; U.S. state, Canadian provincial
and European country boundaries; U.S. interstate freeways, highways and exits; and land cover (inland bodies of water). By using the data
interface, optional SD memory card and optional mapping software, you can also download maps and points of interest from your computer.
The manual is designed to help you take advantage of these and many other features. We suggest that you begin by reading the “General
Information” and “Instrumentation Information” sections first. If you are not familiar with computer-based satellite navigation technology, these
sections will help you understand the basics.

BASIC OPERATION
Navigation
Navigation
Your GPS receiver receives signals from Global Positioning System satellites that are in fixed orbits (stationary relative to the ground) around the
earth. By acquiring—or locking onto—the signals from at least 3 satellites, your receiver can use triangulation to precisely determine your
current position, elevation above sea level and bearing (the direction you are traveling). As you travel, the receiver automatically acquires the
strongest satellite signals available at your current location.
Your GPS receiver is already programmed with U.S. state, Canadian provincial and European country boundaries; worldwide cities; U.S.
interstate freeways and highways; and U.S. interstate freeway and highway exits and exit details. With optional mapping software, interface
cable and SD Memory Card (needed for map downloading), you can access a computer mapping database to download additional mapping
information that includes points of interest, local roads and streets, intersections and addresses.
By becoming familiar with the receiver’s basic operating features, you will be able to use its powerful navigational capabilities.
Tracks 1
Your GPS receiver automatically keeps a record of your travel, called a track. The receiver shows you a map-like picture of your track. You can
create and store up to 10 different tracks. Each track can be recalled and used for navigation as the receiver shows you how to retrace the track
again (either forward or in the reverse direction), how far off course you are in relationship to the track and information such as your current
speed or distance to destination in your track navigation. When traveling in unfamiliar territory, this is a quick and easy way to make sure you
always know how to get back to your starting point.
Waypoints 2
In this manual, you will learn how to mark your current location as a waypoint, save cities, addresses, intersections, points of interests or exits
as waypoints or set the coordinates for a waypoint anywhere in the world. You can create and store up to 500 waypoints. You can have the
receiver show you the direction of travel to an individual waypoint or how to navigate along a series of waypoints in a route. The receiver can
also show you how far off course you are in relationship to the waypoint navigation and information such as your current speed or distance to
the destination in your waypoint navigation.

Points of Interest, Addresses or Intersections 5 6 7
With optional mapping software and interface cable, you can access a computer mapping database to download hundreds of points of interest,
addresses and intersections. You can use these for navigation. You can have the receiver show you the direction of travel to an individual POI,
address or intersection; or use the POI, address or intersection as a point to be used to navigate along a series of points in a route. The receiver
can also show you how far off course you are in relationship to the navigation and information such as your current speed or distance to the
destination in your navigation.
instructions. See page 54 for “Intersections” details and instructions.
Routes 8
A route is a series of points which you choose that can be used in forward or reverse navigation. You can create and store up to 50 separate
routes. As many as 50 points may be stored in each route. Once you have created a route, your GPS receiver will guide you in a straight line
from point to point. As you reach each point, the receiver automatically begins navigating to the next one. The receiver can also show you how
far off course you are in relationship to the route and information such as your current speed or distance to the destination in your route

This GPS receiver comes equipped with mapping data including
locations of hundreds of worldwide cities; U.S. state, Canadian
provincial and European country boundaries; and U.S. interstate
freeways, highways and exits. By using the Data Interface to
download additional mapping data such as points of interest, local

will also be able to find addresses or intersections. You can save any
of these locations as waypoints.
Waypoints are specific locations you have the receiver record. In the
following sections, you can learn how to mark you current location
as a waypoint; save cities, addresses, intersections, points of interest
or exits as waypoints; and set coordinates for a waypoint anywhere
in the world. This GPS receiver can store up to 500 waypoints which
can be recalled to show you the direction of travel to the individual
point or in a series of points or route navigation.
See “Waypoints,”

Tracks
Tracks
This GPS receiver automatically keeps a record of your progress
as you travel and gives you a graphic representation or “track
log” of the path or track you have taken. Each time you turn the
receiver on, it begins a new track log recording, called a
“session.” You can use the track log to create a track that you
can recall for navigation.
You can create and store up to 10 different tracks. Each track
can be recalled and used for navigation as the receiver shows
you how to retrace the track again, either forward or in the
reverse direction. When traveling in unfamiliar territory, this is a
quick and easy way to make sure you always know how to get
back to your starting point.
To assist in your Track navigation, your GPS receiver is already
programmed with locations of hundreds of worldwide cities; U.S.
state, Canadian provincial and European country boundaries; and
U.S. interstate freeways, highways and exits. With optional
computer software, interface cable and
SD Memory Card (needed for map downloading), you can
access a computer mapping database to transfer in additional
mapping information that includes points of interest, local roads
and streets, intersections and addresses.

Cities
Already stored in your GPS receiver are coordinates for
hundreds of cities throughout the world. You can have the
receiver show you the direction of travel to an individual city or
select the city as a point to be used to navigate along a series of
points in a route.
A city is much larger than the precise location indicated by
the coordinates stored in your GPS receiver. The coordinates
assigned to a city correspond to a location somewhere within
the city’s limits. These coordinates are intended only for
navigation to the city, and not for finding a specific location such
as the downtown, commercial area or geographic center. A
waypoint or point of interest can be used for more precise
navigation within a city.
To assist in your navigation, your GPS receiver is already

relationship to your current location or save a city as a waypoint.
NOTE: A city is much larger than the precise location indicated by the coordinates stored in your GPS receiver. The
coordinates assigned to a city correspond to a location somewhere within the city’s limits. These coordinates are
intended only for navigation to the city, and not for finding a specific location such as the downtown, commercial
area or geographic center. A waypoint or point of interest can be used for more precise navigation within a city.

Routes
A route is a series of points which you choose that can be used
in forward or reverse navigation. You can create and store up to
50 separate routes. As many as 50 points (waypoints, cities,
points of interest, addresses, intersections or exits) may be stored
in each route. Once you have created a route, your GPS receiver
will guide you in a straight line from point to point. As you reach
each point, the receiver automatically begins navigating to the
next one.
To assist in your navigation, your GPS receiver is already
programmed with locations of hundreds of worldwide cities;
U.S. state, Canadian provincial and European country boundaries;
and U.S. interstate freeways, highways and exits. With optional
computer software, interface cable and SD Memory Card (needed
for map downloading), you can access a computer mapping
database to transfer in additional mapping information that
includes points of interest, local roads and streets, intersections
and addresses.

General Information
GPS General Information
GPS Basics
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radionavigation system. It consists of 24 satellites which orbit the earth
at an altitude of approximately 11,000 miles and ground stations.
GPS provides users with accurate information on position, velocity
and time. This is available anywhere in the world and in most
weather conditions.
GPS was initiated by The United States Department of Defense in
1973 to reduce the proliferation of navigation aids. By creating a
robust system that overcame the limitations of many previously
existing navigation systems, GPS became attractive to a broader
spectrum of users. GPS has been successful in classic applications
such as aviation and marine navigation since it was first developed.
Since then, it has become useful for a wide range of people because
its capabilities are accessible using small, affordable equipment.
What was once available only in very expensive equipment, the
Cobra Electronics Corporation brings to you with our high quality line
of affordable handheld GPS receivers.
How GPS Works
GPS uses a global network of 24 satellites that transmit radio signals
to earth from high earth orbit. Thankfully for users, The United States
has offered free use of the system to the international community.
Many international user groups have accepted GPS as the core for
their international civil satellite navigation system.
GPS service provides users with extremely accurate positioning
information anywhere on or near the surface of the earth. To
accomplish this, each of the 24 satellites emits signals to receivers
below. GPS determines location by computing the difference
between the time that a signal is sent and the time it is received.
GPS satellites carry atomic clocks that provide extremely accurate
time information. The time information is placed in the codes
broadcast by the satellite so that a receiver can continuously
determine the time the signal was broadcast. The signal contains
data that your GPS receiver uses to compute the locations of the
satellites and to make other adjustments needed for accurate
positioning. Your GPS receiver uses the time difference between the
time of signal reception and the broadcast time to compute the
distance, from the receiver to the satellite. With information about
the distance to four satellites and the location of each satellite when
the signal was sent, your receiver can compute its own threedimensional position: latitude, longitude and altitude. People think of
GPS as having three segments: control, space and user.
Control Segment
The Control Segment of GPS consists of the Master Control Station,
Monitor Stations and Ground Antennas.
The one master control station, located at Falcon Air Force Base in
Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA is responsible for overall
management of the remote monitoring and transmission sites. As
the center for support operations, it calculates any position or clock
errors for each individual satellite, based on information received
from the monitor stations. Then it “orders” the appropriate ground
antennas to relay the corrective information back to that satellite.
Five monitor stations are located at Falcon Air Force Base in
Colorado, Hawaii, Ascension Island in the Atlantic Ocean, Diego
Garcia Atoll in the Indian Ocean and Kwajalein Island in the South
Pacific Ocean. Each of the monitor stations checks the exact altitude,
position, speed and overall health of the orbiting satellites. The
control segment uses measurements collected by the monitor stations
to predict each satellite’s orbit and clock. The prediction data is
up-linked, or transmitted, to the satellites for transmission back to
the users. The control segment also ensures that the GPS satellite
orbits and clocks remain as designed. A station can track up to 11
satellites at a time. Each station performs this “check-up” twice a
day, as the satellites complete their journeys around the earth.
Noted variations, such as those caused by the gravity of the moon,
sun and the pressure of solar radiation, are passed along to the
master control station.
The last of the three pieces of the control segment of GPS are the
ground antennas. Ground antennas monitor and track the satellites
from horizon to horizon. They also transmit correction information to
individual satellites.
Space Segment
The space segment includes the satellites and the Delta rockets that
launch the satellites from Cape Canaveral in Florida. GPS
satellites fly in circular orbits at an altitude of 10,900 miles
(17,500 km) and with a period of 12 hours. The orbits are tilted to
the earth’s equator by 55 degrees to ensure coverage of the polar
regions. Powered by solar cells, the satellites continuously orient
themselves to point their solar panels toward the sun and their
antenna toward the earth. Each of the 24 satellites, positioned in 6
orbital planes, circles the earth twice a day.
The satellites are composed of three major subsystems: Solar
Panels, Internal Components and External Components.
Solar Panels
Each satellite is equipped with solar array panels. These panels
capture energy from the sun, which provides power for the satellite
throughout its life.
Inter
nal Components
Internal Components are subsystems such as atomic clocks and
radio transmitters. Each satellite contains four atomic clocks. The
clocks are accurate to a billionth of a second or a nanosecond. The
atomic clocks within satellites are so accurate because even an
extremely small inaccuracy would translate into an extremely large
position difference (1/100 of a second inaccuracy translates to a
position difference of 1,860 miles to any GPS receiver.)
Exter
nal Components
The exterior of the GPS satellite has a variety of antennas. The
signals generated by the radio transmitter are sent to your GPS
receiver via L-band antennas. Another component of the satellite is
the radio transmitter, which generates the signal. Each of the 24
satellites transmits its own unique code in the signal.
User Segment
You and your GPS receiver are a part of the user segment along
with many other private individuals and military personnel and their
GPS receivers. Military GPS equipment has been integrated into
fighters, bombers, tankers, helicopters, ships, submarines, tanks,
jeeps and soldiers’ equipment. GPS is also used on Space Shuttles.
Cutting edge satellite navigation technology coupled with your GPS
receiver can help overcome many of the hardships and hazards
associated with recreation. Your GPS receiver allows you to go
practically anywhere with confidence knowing
precisely where you are at all times. With your GPS receiver, you
will be able to accurately record any location and return to that
precise spot time and again, anytime, anywhere.
Selectivity Availability (SA)
Selectivity Availability (SA) was used by the U.S. Department of
Defense to degrade the accuracy of civilian GPS to within 100 meters
(about 300 feet.) This was discontinued on May 1, 2000. The military
will only use regional degradation when needed in the future.

APPENDIX
Interference/Errors
Interference / Errors
GPS receivers have the potential for position errors due to interference, primarily from the following sources:
Ionosphere and troposphere delays
The satellite signal slows as it passes through the atmosphere. The
system uses a built-in model that calculates an average – though
not exact – amount of delay.
Signal multi-path
This occurs when the GPS signal is reflected off objects such as tall
buildings before it reaches the receiver. This increases the travel time
of the signal, causing errors.
Receiver clock errors
The built-in clock can have very slight timing errors.
Orbital errors
Also known as ephemeris errors, these are inaccuracies of the
satellite’s reported location.
91
Most common error
Most common error is not having a clear view of the sky, or being
under very cloudy conditions, when a satellite signal may not
be received.
Number of satellites visible
The more satellites the receiver can see, the better the accuracy.
Buildings, terrain, electronic interference or even dense foliage can
block signal reception, resulting in position errors or possibly no
position reading at all. In general, the clearer the view of the sky is
at your location, the better the reception will be. GPS receivers will
not work indoors, underwater or underground.
Due to the errors that might occur, it is recommended that the serious
navigator use a second navigational tool, such as a magnetic compass
or map.
When satellite lock is lost
Whenever satellite lock is lost, the
following animation sequence appears on
screen and continues to loop until satellite lock is re-acquired.
When GPS is turned Off
Whenever GPS is turned Off, the following animation
sequence occurs and continues to loop until search is
activated by user.
Also, some data fields appear blank until GPS is turned On and
satellite lock is re-acquired.

APPENDIX
WAAS, Map Datum, North Reference
WAAS
Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is a GPS-based navigation
system that provides precision above and beyond what GPS can do
on its own. WAAS was designed to improve the accuracy and ensure
the integrity of information coming from GPS satellites.
WAAS is a network of 25 ground reference stations that cover the
entire U.S. plus parts of Canada and Mexico. Implemented by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for aviation users, these reference
stations are located at precisely surveyed spots and compare GPS
distance measurements to known values. When the WAAS signal is
available, WAAS-capable receivers typically have a much higher
accuracy than non-WAAS receivers.
93
Map Datum
Maps and charts are essentially grids created from a starting
reference point called a “datum.” Many maps being used today
were originally created decades ago. Over the years, technology has
allowed us to improve our surveying skills and create more accurate
maps. However, there is still a need to adapt GPS receivers to use
with older maps.
Most navigational charts and maps will have the datum listed. This
GPS receiver includes up to 100 map datums that allow you to
switch to a setting that matches your map. The most common US
map datums are World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) North
American Datum 1983 (NAD 83) and North American Datum 1927
(NAD 27)
NOTE: Using a map datum that does not match the chart you are
using can result in significant differences in position information.
North Reference
The vertical grid lines on any map can be aligned in one of three
different ways.
“True North” means that the vertical lines are aligned with the
geographic north pole. This is the most common method of
orienting maps.
“Magnetic North” means that the vertical lines are aligned in the
direction indicated as north by a compass, which can differ from True
North to varying amounts, depending on where you are on the Earth
(this difference is called “inclination” and “declination”.)
“Grid North” refers to the direction in which the straight lines on a
map are actually aligned, which may be slightly different from True
North, because the rounded surface of the Earth can not be
accurately depicted on the flat surface of a map.
