MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin is to

provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify as required in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree. This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and accurate digital data is either not available or prohibitively expensive.

WARNING: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin GPS 60 is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This Notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our web site at http://www.garmin.

com/prop65.

Safety Warnings and Cautions—Read This First!

WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of a vehicle with the GPS 60 installed to place and secure the device so that it will not interfere with the vehicle operating controls and safety devices, obstruct the driver’s view of driving conditions, or cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident.

Do not mount the unit over airbag panels or in the ﬁeld of airbag deployment. Airbags expand with a rapid force that can propel objects in their path towards the vehicle driver or passengers, causing possible injury. Refer to airbag safety precautions contained in the vehicle owner’s manual.

Do not mount the unit in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to impact it in a collision. The mounting hardware provided by Garmin is not warranted against collision damage or the consequences thereof.

WARNING: When used in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the unit to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the unit while you are driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle equipped with a GPS 60 installed to pay full attention to operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the vehicle is in motion could result in an accident with property damage and personal injury.

Initializing the GPS Receiver

Each time you turn on the GPS 60, it will begin searching for satellite signals. The ﬁrst time you turn on the unit, you must wait for the GPS to initialize. Initialization allows the GPS 60 to receive and store satellite information and begin using the satellites for navigation. This process happens automatically and should take no more than a few minutes. Keep in mind that satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass) or dense overhead tree cover, so you should initialize outdoors and away from obstructions. Once you initialize, the GPS 60 should ﬁnd satellite signals quickly each time you turn it on.

To initialize the GPS 60:

1. Take your GPS 60 outside where it has a clear view of the sky and turn it on by pressing and releasing the POWER key.

2. Wait while the GPS 60 searches for satellite signals. While the unit is searching, you see the message ‘Acquiring Satellites.’

3. Once your GPS 60 has acquired satellites, your location in coordinates appears at the top of the Satellite Page.

If initializing takes a long time, or if you have moved more than 600 miles since you last turned on the GPS 60, try moving away from tall trees, buildings, or other obstructions. If you still have trouble, see p. 7.

The Satellite Page

The Satellite Page displays information about the satellite signals the GPS 60 is receiving. In the middle of the page, you can see a number of satellite icons with numbers; each number represents a speciﬁc satellite in space. The satellites appear on the page where they would appear in the sky if you looked straight up.

As the GPS 60 acquires satellite signals, the strength of each signal appears on the graph at the bottom of the page. An outlined bar means the GPS 60 is trying to acquire a signal; a shaded bar means the GPS 60 has already acquired a signal. When the GPS 60 has at least three satellite signals, your position in coordinates appears at the top of the page.

If you have trouble acquiring satellite signals, you can tell the GPS 60 your current location from the Satellite Page Menu.

• View and navigate routes (see p. 33).

Your position appears as a small triangle, called the position arrow, on the Map Page. Your GPS 60 automatically keeps the position arrow near the bottom center of the Map Page. If you zoom in far enough, you can see a circle around the position arrow. This circle is called the accuracy circle, and it represents how accurate your position is on the map. When the circle is small, your position is very accurate.

Zooming and Panning

To zoom in or out, press the IN and OUT keys. To zoom rapidly, press and hold the IN or OUT keys. A zoom scale appears in the lower left corner of the Map Page. To pan the map (view other parts of the map), press the ROCKER key to display the map panning arrow. As you move the arrow with the ROCKER key, you can see different parts of the map.

Changing the Map Page Display

You can display the Map Page in Track Up or North Up orientation (see p. 45 to change orientation). Track Up means the map is always oriented with the direction you are traveling at the top of the page. North Up means that no matter what direction you are traveling, the map is always oriented with North at the top of the page. With Track Up, the Map Page rotates as you move; with North Up, it does not rotate. When you are in North Up mode, no compass pointer appears on the Map Page.

When navigating, you can see Guidance Text at the top of the map. The text tells you what direction you should travel next to reach a destination.

Data ﬁelds may appear at the top of the Map Page; these ﬁelds give you information about your position, speed, location, and more. You can show data ﬁelds, change what data ﬁelds appear, or hide all data ﬁelds. See p. 64 for a list of available data ﬁelds.

Using the Compass Page

The Compass Page uses traditional navigation to display your current

direction of travel and keep headed toward your destination.

When you are navigating to a destination, the Compass Page provides navigation data and directions, such as bearing, current speed, estimated arrival time, and more. You can customize which type of data you want to appear. See p. 64 for a list of available data ﬁelds.

As you move, the rotating graphic compass indicates the direction you are traveling. You can choose between a Bearing Pointer or a Course Pointer for guidance. The Bearing Pointer indicates the direction (bearing) to your destination. The Course Pointer helps you stay on the correct course to your destination.

The compass does not function as a magnetic compass when you are stationary. When you move, the dial rotates so you always know what direction is North. This is especially helpful when using a paper map along with your unit for navigation.

If you want to stop navigating, press MENU from the Compass Page, use the ROCKER key to highlight ‘Stop Navigation,’ and press ENTER.

This GPS game creates a virtual maze on the screen. You are placed at a central position in the maze and must explore the maze and collect ﬂags. The lower right corner of the screen tells you how many ﬂags remain. The lower left corner is a timer displaying the elapsed time. The Difﬁculty Level determines how much of the maze you can see at one time. Viewing less of the maze makes the game more difﬁcult.

HINT: Pressing the ENTER key and selecting ‘Cheat On’ will enable a “cheat mode.” Enabling this mode will penalize you by ﬁve minutes and count seconds by 10 instead of 2. Turn the cheat mode Off by pressing the ENTER key.

Page 67

Field size choices are small, medium and large, with small ﬁelds being roughly 20 yards by 30 yards and large ﬁelds being 60 yards by 90 yards (about the size of an American football ﬁeld).

The difﬁculty levels are Easy, Normal and Hard. These levels determine how often Gekos appear. The pace quickens and values vary as difﬁculty levels increase.

Nibbons

In this GPS game, you must walk around the board collecting the ﬂags as they appear. As you walk, your “tail” will grow. You may travel anywhere on the screen but you cannot walk on your tail, or you will lose a life. As an added challenge, you must also avoid the Skulls that chase after you.

Gekoids

This GPS game, which can be played without GPS on, is all about blasting gekoids. You are the ship, and you can survive only when you avoid getting hit. Before you begin to play, check your game settings. Orient Map ‘Northwards’ rotates your ship in the center of the map. The map is stationary and north is always up. Orient Map ‘Ship Up’ rotates the virtual world around your ship. Your ship always points Up.

What are Map Datums, and which should I use?

A datum is a mathematical model of the Earth which approximates the shape of the Earth, and enables calculations to be carried out in a consistent and accurate manner. The datum is physically represented by a framework of ground monuments (i.e. trig. stations) whose positions have been accurately measured and calculated on this reference surface. Lines of latitude and longitude on a map or chart are referenced to a speciﬁc map datum. Every chart has a map datum reference and the GPS 60 can be set to match most of those commonly used.

If you are navigating and comparing the GPS coordinates to a map, chart or other reference, the map datum in the GPS unit should be set to the same datum as the map or chart to insure the most accurate navigation.

What is a Position Format, and which should I use?

Your current location can be viewed on the GPS in the form of coordinates. Since different maps and charts use different location formats, Garmin GPS units allow you to choose the correct coordinate system for the type of map you are using. The most common format is latitude and longitude, which is utilized by all Garmin units. On most models, you may choose to change the position format to use with other coordinate systems. UTM/UPS (Universal Transverse Mercator/Universal Polar Stereographic) are easy-to-use metric grids that are found on most USGS topographic quadrangle maps. Several other grids, including a user-deﬁnable grid (for the advanced user), may also be selected.

Appendix G: WAAS and DGPS

What is WAAS?

The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is an F.A.A. funded project to improve the overall integrity of the GPS signal. It is a spacebased system that broadcasts integrity information and correction data as determined by ground reference stations (see DGPS below). At this time the system is still in the developmental stage with a goal of providing reliable signals with an accuracy of 7 meters (21-22 ft.) both horizontally and vertically 95% of the time. Current tests have shown the actual accuracy to be on the order of 2-3 meters. For more information, go to

http://gps.faa.gov/Programs/WAAS/waas.htm.

What is Differential GPS (DGPS)?

The U.S. and Canadian governments (among others) have set up Differential GPS (DGPS) stations to transmit correction signals. They are operational in coastal areas and on many navigable river systems. The DGPS system is available for use without fee.

In addition to compensating for errors in the position, these corrections signals can also correct for deliberate degradation of the accuracy of GPS by the U.S. Department of Defense under their Selective Availability (SA) program.

Refer to the U.S. Coast Guard’s web site: http://www.navcen.uscg. gov/ for locations and the status of the differential sites. Using DGPS requires additional equipment.

Interface formats are selected from the Interface Setup on page 43 of this manual. The input/output lines on your GPS 60 are RS-232 compatible, allowing easy interface to a wide range of external devices, including PC’s, differential beacon receivers, marine autopilots and /or a second GPS receiver.

The NMEA 0183 version 3.01 interface format is supported by the GPS 60 and enables the unit to drive up to three NMEA devices.

DGPS (Differential GPS) corrections are accepted in RTCM SC-104 version 2.0 format through the ‘Data In’ line. The Garmin GBR 21 is the recommended beacon receiver for use with the GPS 60. Other beacon receivers with the correct RTCM format may be used, but may not correctly display status or allow tuning control from the GPS unit.

The USB Interface Cable provided with this unit allows you to connect your GPS 60 to a PC-compatible computer’s USB port.
