Getting Started

Overview

Getting Started

To remove the wrist strap from the Foretrex 101:

1. Place your Foretrex 101 on a cloth or soft surface to avoid scratching the case.

2. While holding the Foretrex 101 steady with one hand, use a jeweler’s band pin removing tool or a very soft ﬂat head screwdriver. Catch the spring bar’s loaded stem and pull it back enough for the band to clear the case’s edge.

To replace the wrist strap on the Foretrex 101:

1. To reinstall, insert the spring bar into the wristband and place one side of the spring bar into one pinhole.

2. Compress the spring bar, and snap it into the other pinhole. Be sure that the spring bars are secure in the pinholes before using your Foretrex 101.

Installing Batteries

The Foretrex 101 operates on two AAA alkaline batteries (not included), which are placed in the back of the unit. Rechargeable alkaline, NiMH, NiCad, or lithium batteries may be used. Refer to section “Set System Page” for instructions on selecting battery type. Stored data will not be lost while batteries are being changed. However, if batteries are completely discharged and are not changed within a couple of days, it may take longer for the unit to get a GPS signal ﬁx.

To install the batteries:

1. Remove the battery cover by inserting a coin in the bottom slot. Twist the coin to lift the cover up and pull away.

2. Compare the battery polarity with the diagram in the battery compartment and install the batteries accordingly.

3. To re-install the battery cover, slide the top portion into the appropriate slot, then snap the bottom section securely to the base of the unit.

NOTE: When replacing batteries, use only new or fully charged batteries. Do not

mix Alkaline and NiMH batteries. Rechargeable batteries may typically display less capacity than disposable batteries. Extensive use of backlighting and key beep tones will signiﬁcantly reduce battery life. Remove the batteries from the unit if you do not plan to use it for several months. Storing batteries in the unit for long periods may result in leakage and damage to the battery compartment.

NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper care and disposal of used

batteries. Do not incinerate used batteries, as internal materials may ignite with explosive violence.

Turning on the Foretrex 101

After you have placed the batteries in the Foretrex 101, it is ready for use. Allow the Foretrex 101 time to track satellites and determine your position the ﬁrst time you use it. Upon startup, the GPS signal bar appears. As the Foretrex 101 locates more satellites and the signal strength increases, the bar moves to the right. Estimated GPS accuracy displays underneath the GPS signal bar. Refer to the previous page for battery installation information.

To turn on the Foretrex 101:

1. Press and hold the POWER button until the Satellite Page is displayed, then release.

2. Your Foretrex 101 automatically begins acquiring satellites. The GPS signal bar and accuracy ﬁelds are shown on the Satellite Page as well as an image that is acquiring satellites. The satellite dish icon on the left side of the screen ﬂashes while the Foretrex 101 determines your location.

3. Leave the Foretrex 101 with a clear view of the sky for 15–30 minutes initially. After the ﬁrst use, it should only take less than a couple minutes to acquire satellites.

4. When the Foretrex 101 acquires enough satellite signals to determine your location, the satellite dish icon on the left side of the screen stops ﬂashing.

NOTE: If you have moved over 500 miles from the location you last used your

Foretrex 101 unit, or you have not used your Foretrex 101 in more than one month, it may take 15 to 30 minutes to determine your location.

Using the Tracks Menu Page

The Foretrex 101 draws an electronic breadcrumb trail or ‘track log’ on the Map Page as you travel. The Track Log contains information about points along its path, including time, and position. The Foretrex 101 uses this information to allow you to navigate using the saved track.

The track log starts recording as soon as the Foretrex 101 gets a location ﬁx. For the best results, clear the track log before you start traveling because when the track log is full, the new track points overwrite the oldest track points. The percentage of memory used by the current track log displays at the top of the page. After the Track Log is ‘Cleared’, it displays zero percent. When the display reaches 100%, the most recent track points start to overwrite the least recent track points (if ‘WRAP WHEN FULL’ is ‘YES’). To avoid losing track points, save the Track Log when it approaches the 99% mark.

To open the Tracks Menu Page:

1. Press the PAGE button to access the Main Menu.

UP and DOWN arrows to highlight ‘TRACKS’ and press ENTER to open the

TracBack guides you to where you started by following the track log that you left behind, allowing you to return along a traveled path without marking any waypoints. You can retrace your track in both directions. Tracks are marked BEGIN and END. If you want to keep a record of a certain track log or use the ‘TracBack’ feature, clear the Track Log before you start traveling.

Goto creates a waypoint called ‘map’ and guides you to it from your current location.

Mark creates a new waypoint for later use. Refer to the “Waypoints Menu Page” section for

complete information.

Zoom adjusts the level of map detail viewable.

Using the Setup Track Page

Recording: Turn the track log recording ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’.

Record Interval: You can set the track recording interval to change based on ‘DISTANCE’,

‘TIME’, or ‘AUTO’. If ‘DISTANCE’ or ‘TIME’ is selected, enter a value (a speciﬁc distance or time) in the next ﬁeld. If ‘AUTO’ is selected, enter a value in the ‘RESOLUTION’ ﬁeld. When ‘HIGHEST’ is selected, the unit will create many points to make the track. When ‘LOWEST’ is selected, the unit will create very few points to make the track.

Wrap When Full: Select ‘YES’ to overwrite the oldest tracks with the new ones being made. Select ‘NO’ to have the unit stop recording tracks when the log is full.

Defaults: Press ENTER when this is highlighted to restore the unit to the default Track Setup settings.

Map Datums

A map datum is a reference model of the earth’s shape. Every map uses a map datum which is usually listed in the title block of the map. The default datum in the Foretrex 101 is WGS 84 (World Geodetic Survey, 1984). You should only change the datum if you are using maps or charts that specify a different datum. Choose the ‘USER’ datum if using a map with custom-designed grids.

NOTE: The ‘USER’ datum is based on a WGS-84-Local datum and is an advanced

feature for unlisted or custom datums. To learn more, check your local library or the Internet for educational materials on datums and coordinate systems.

You can set the angle units and the North Reference in the Set Heading Page.

Angle: Select the unit of measurement for angles to display in. Highlight ‘DEGREES’ and press ENTER to display angle units as degrees (360°). Highlight ‘MILS’ and press ENTER to display angle units in mils, a unit of angle measurement used in military settings, in which

17.78 mils equal one degree.

North Reference: Select the North Reference to match the North Reference used on your paper map, if you are using one. Select from True North, Magnetic North, Grid North, or User North. Refer to the following section, “North Reference,” for complete information.

Defaults: Press ENTER to set the unit’s System settings to the factory defaults.

North Reference

‘Reference’ refers to the orientation of a map’s grid. Map makers try to align the vertical lines on a map with True North, the direction from any location on the earth’s surface to the ‘north pole’. Maps are typically referenced to true north. Because a compass points to magnetic north, not true north, maps indicate the difference between true and magnetic north with a measurement called variation. The amount of declination changes as you move around the earth. Magnetic North is the direction in which a compass needle points.

Due to errors introduced when map makers ﬂatten the earth’s sphere onto paper, not all of the grid lines drawn on the map point exactly to the north pole, so the north indicated by the grid lines is called Grid North. The difference, however, is usually small enough that ‘Grid’ north can be considered the same as True North for travelling on land. If necessary, manually correct for the difference between Grid North and True North. If ‘User’ is chosen, you must correct for the magnetic variation.

Set Interface Page

Choose from different input/output serial data formats (‘I/O FORMAT’) for connecting external NMEA devices, a DGPS beacon receiver, a personal computer, etc. Effective use of this feature requires a working knowledge of these formats:

GARMIN: The proprietary format used to exchange waypoint, track, and map data with a PC.

GARMIN DGPS: Allows DGPS input using a GARMIN beacon receiver and a standard RTCM SC-104 and DGPS tuning.

NMEA Out: Supports the output of standard NMEA 0183 version 3.0 data.

Text Out: Allows ASCII text output of location and velocity information without input

capabilities.

RTCM In: Allows DGPS input using a standard RTCM SC-104 format without output capabilities.

RTCM/NMEA: Allows DGPS input using a standard RTCM SC-104 format and supports the output of standard NMEA 0183 version 3.0 data.

RTCM/Text: Allows DGPS input using a standard RTCM SC-104 format and simple ASCII text output of location and velocity information.

None: Provides no interfacing capabilities.

If ‘GARMIN DGPS’ or ‘RTCM/NMEA’ format is selected, additional ﬁelds are provided to control a GARMIN differential beacon receiver (e.g. GBR 21 & GBR 23) directly from your unit. In the ‘BEACON’ list, select ‘SCAN’ to tune automatically, or select ‘USER’ to manually tune the receiver and enter the beacon frequency and bit rate. Refer to the beacon receiver instructions.

Defaults: Press ENTER to set the unit’s System settings to the factory defaults.

GPS Mode

Select from the following modes:

Normal: The GPS receiver is always ‘ON’ when it’s in ‘NORMAL’ mode. The normal mode is more responsive to sudden turns or change of speed/acceleration.

WAAS: The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) capability produces a more accurate position ﬁx. When enabled, the unit searches for a WAAS satellite near your location and then receives data for correcting differentials in the GPS satellite signals and the WAAS satellite numbers (beginning at No. 33 or above) display on the Satellite Page. It is helpful to orient the unit antenna toward the WAAS satellite shown in the skyview. To learn more about the WAAS System, access the Federal Aviation Administration Web site at http://gps.faa.gov.

Battery Save: When the Foretrex 101 is in ‘BATTERY SAVE’ mode, the GPS receiver turns on and off alternatively to conserve power.

Demo: The ‘DEMO’ mode is designed for dealers to show the features and functions of the Foretrex 101 to potential customers inside a closed building where satellite reception is not possible. There is no navigation possible in ‘DEMO’ mode. If you select the ‘DEMO’ mode, a window displays at the bottom of the screen asking you to verify that you want to turn the GPS off (the unit will stop tracking satellites, but not power off).

Off: To turn the GPS receiver off, select ‘OFF’ for the ‘GPS MODE’ setting.
