1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 CAUTIONS
CAUTION
The GPS system is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely responsible for its
accuracy and maintenance. Although the GPS 10 is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID),
any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted, and therefore become unsafe. Use these products at your
own risk. To reduce the risk, carefully review and understand all aspects of these Technical Specifications
before using the GPS 10. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPS to all available
navigation sources including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety,
always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
FCC
Compliance
The GPS 10 complies with Part 15 of the FCC interference limits for Class B digital devices FOR HOME
OR OFFICE USE. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation, and are more stringent than “outdoor” requirements.
Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The GPS 10 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could result
in permanent damage to the equipment, and void your warranty and your authority to operate this device
under Part 15 regulations.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.

1.2 LIMITED WARRANTY
This Garmin product is warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for one year from
the date of purchase. Within this period, Garmin will at its sole option, repair or replace any components
that fail in normal use. Such repairs or replacement will be made at no charge to the customer for parts or
labor, provided that the customer shall be responsible for any transportation cost. This warranty does not
cover failures due to abuse, misuse, accident or unauthorized alteration or repairs.
THE WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES CONTAINED HEREIN ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY
LIABILITY ARISING UNDER ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU

IN NO EVENT SHALL GARMIN BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER RESULTING FROM THE USE, MISUSE, OR
INABILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT OR FROM DEFECTS IN THE PRODUCT. Some states do not
allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
Garmin retains the exclusive right to repair or replace the unit or software or offer a full refund of the
purchase price at its sole discretion. SUCH REMEDY SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY.
To obtain warranty service, contact your local Garmin authorized dealer. Or call Garmin Customer Service
at one of the numbers shown below, for shipping instructions and an RMA tracking number. The unit
should be securely packed with the tracking number clearly written on the outside of the package. The unit
should then be sent, freight charges prepaid, to any Garmin warranty service station. A copy of the original
sales receipt is required as the proof of purchase for warranty repairs.

1.3 OVERVIEW
The GPS 10 product includes an embedded receiver and an antenna. Based on the proven technology found
in other Garmin 12-channel GPS receivers, the GPS 10 tracks up to 12 satellites at a time while providing
fast time-to-first-fix, one-second navigation updates, and low power consumption. This generation of GPS
sensors adds the capability of FAA Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) differential GPS. The GPS
10’s far-reaching capability meets the sensitivity requirements of land navigation as well as the dynamics
requirements of high-performance aircraft.
The GPS 10 design uses the latest technology and high-level circuit integration to achieve superior
performance while minimizing space and power requirements. All critical components of the system
including the RF/IF receiver hardware and the digital baseband are designed and manufactured by Garmin
to ensure the quality and capability of the GPS. The hardware capability combined with software
intelligence makes the GPS 10 easy to integrate and use.
The GPS 10 series products are designed to withstand rugged operating conditions and are waterproofto
IEC 60529 IPX7, immersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. This complete GPS receiver requires no
additional components to be supplied by an OEM or system integrator. It is provided with an internal
rechargeable battery and 12 V DC charging adapter. The only requirements are a 12 Volt DC power source
and a clear view of the GPS satellites. Internal FLASH memory allows the GPS to retain critical data such
as satellite orbital parameters, last-known position, date and time. End user interfaces such as keyboards
and displays are the responsibility of the application designer.
1.4 FEATURES
•12-channel GPS receiver tracks and uses up to 12 satellites for fast, accurate positioning and low
power consumption.
•Differential DGPS capability using real-time WAAS corrections yielding position errors of less than 3
meters.
•Compact, rugged design ideal for applications with minimal space. Receiver position information can
be displayed directly on a chart plotter or PC.
•User initialization is not required. Once installed, unit automatically produces navigation data after
position fix is acquired.
• User-configurable navigation mode (2-dimensional or 3-dimensional fix).
• Configurable for binary format carrier phase data output.
• FLASH-based program and non-volatile memory. New software revisions available through Web site
download. Non-volatile memory does not require battery backup.
• Integrated Bluetooth (Class 2) wireless technology module for communication with a mobile device.
• On-board rechargeable main power battery and a backup battery to maintain the real-time clock for up
to 3 weeks.
•Configurable parameters include expected position, current time and date, preferred position fix type
(2D, 3D, or automatic), and velocity filter time constant (none, automatic, or your choice between 2
and 255 seconds).
•Magnetic mount for attachment to ferrous surfaces. (Velcro adhesive backed patch for non-magnetic
surfaces.)
• 12 V DC Cigarette Lighter Charging Adapter
• Waterproof design allows continuous exposure to the prevailing weather conditions at most locations.
