1^ OPERATIONS The GPS 65 is deseed for fixed operations only. The unit may be

operated from external 5-40 volt DC power using the power/data cable
or cigarette lighter adapter, or external AC power using an AC adapter.

The unit may be operated using vehicle power supplied throij^h the
power/data cable. In addition to supplying power to the unit, the power/
data cable allows you to interface your GPS 65 with other marine
electronic devices such as plotters or autopilots.

The Marine/RV remote antenna should be mounted in a position that
provides an unobstructed view of the sky. Situate the antenna upright
where it will not be blocked by objects or people (signal reception
through thin fabric such as canvas may be adequate, but wOl be
degraded). This weather-proof antenna includes 30 feet of low-toss
antenna cable. The antenna has been constructed to thread onto a
standiudl" Eintenna mount, which is readily available from your locsd
marine accessories dealer.

A magnetic mount antenna is also available. This weather-proof
antenna includes 10 feet of low-loss antenna cable. A cigarette lighter
adapter cable may be used to power the unit in vehicle applications.

Normal mode should be selected for most appUcations, especially high

dynamics operations.
Battery Saver mode is available for applications where vehicle battery

life or current drain is critical.

Simulator mode allows you to simulate the operation of the GPS 65

while on board (and moored), parked in your vehicle, or at home using

the optional AC adaptor. The simulator mode can be tised while
leamii^ to operate your GPS 65 and is ideal for plannii^ routes and
entering waypoints. Keep in mind that the GPS 65 is not tracking
satellites in the simulator mode. YOU SHOULD NEVER ATTEMPT
TO USE THE SIMULATOR MODE FOR ACTUAL NAVIGATION.

If you are using your GPS 65 for the first time, you are encouraged to
review Chapter 3 which introduces the GPS 65's basic features, and
Chapter 6 on custom setups. Afterward, you may want to read through
the rest of this manual and make further use of the built-in simulator
to practice with the advanced features.

2-5

CHAPTERS

BASIC OPERATION

3.1 POWER ON

After you turn your GPS 65 on. It will conduct a series of self tests and
display the following notice:

Welcome to GHRnXN's

GPS 65

Globali HciMÌgcitor

SOFTHARE UER$I«H1.24

COmiGHT 1992
CftRHIM OORF

Following completion of the tests, the Satellite Bar Graph Page (see
Section 3.2) will be displayed, and the GPS 65 will begin acquiring
satellites.

After a position is found (and if no keys have been pressed), the Position
Page (see Section 3.3) will be displayed, and the unit is ready for normal
operation.

When four or more satellites with good geometry are available, the GPS
65 will automatically operate in the 3D mode in which latitude,

longitude, and altitude are computed. If only three satellites are

available, the unit will operate in 2D mode in which only latitude and
longitude are computed. When operating in the 2D mode, the emit will
use the last computed altitude or your last entered altitude. (Section 3.3
describes how you may enter the altitude.)

Your GPS 65 will automatically update satellite orbital data as it
operates. If you have not operated your unit for a period of six months
or longer, it vrill take approximately 15 minutes to search Uie sky and
collect new orbital data. You will be informed when your unit is

searchii^ the sliy with the message “Searching (he Sky." Once satellite

orbital data is collected, it will be stored in memory. The memory is

maintained by an internal battery, therefore the data will not be lost
when you turn your GPS 65 off.

3-1

3^ SATELLITE STATUS PAGES

There are four statue pages available by pressing PWR^TAT, Three
pages display satellite tracking status, and the fourth is a menu of
auxiliaiy functions (messages, setups, and utilities). The softkeys at the
bottom of each page allow selecting pages: BAR (bar graph), STAT
(status), SKY (skyview), and AUX(auxUiary menu). You may also cycle
throu^ these pages by repeatedly pressing PWR/STAT.

The Navigation Summary Page displays direction, distance and speed

information to direct you along a route or a GOTO destination. The
active leg(route) waypoints or GOTO waypoint is shown at the topof the
screen. The GDI is at the bottom of the page. Current CDl scale setting
is shown at each end of the scale. This is replaced by the cross track
distance if the D-Bгtr goes off the scale. A relative bearing pointer at the
center of the CDI indicates Gie bearing to the waypoint relative to the
current track (TRK).

CHAPTER 4

ROUTES

4.1 NAVIGATING USING ROUTES

POINT

The GPS 65 offers a route navigation feature for you to navigate aloi^
a pre-defined sequence of waypoints.

The GPS 65 route capability allows you to create and store ten routes,
numbered 0 through 9, containii^ up to 20 waypoints each. Routes 1 to
9, the storage routes, can be activated to travel either in the order you
defined the waypoints or in reverse order. Route 0, the active route, is
the route you are navigating. The waypoint toward which you are
navigatii^is called Uie “active to” waypoint. The waypoint immediately
behind you is called the “active from” waypoint. The line that connects
the “active from” and “active to” waypoints is called the “active leg.”

BUOY2

The GPS 65 features automatic leg selection which will select the route
segment closest to your position as the active leg. The GPS 65 also
featiires automatic leg sequencing. As you pass a waypoint in the route,
the unit will automatically select the next waypoint as the “active to”
waypoint.

4-1

There are 3 route pages in the GPS 65. The softkeys at the bottom of each
page allow cycling through each page: RTE (route definition), ACTV
(active route), and LIST (route list).

4.2 CREATING AND COPYING A ROUTE

The Route Definition page allows you to create, chainge, review, copy,

and activate routes. Remember that route 0 is always the active route.
If you create a route in route 0, you should copy itinto an empty storage

route (1-9). When you activate a storage route 1-9, it will be copied to
route 0 for activation.

ADVANCED WAYPOINT FEATURES

5.1 NEAREST WAYPOINTS
An important feature of the GPS 65 is the ability to display up to nine

nearest waypoints, within 100 nautical miles of your present position.
In an emei^ncy, you may use the nearest waypoint featme to find the
closest point of safety in your area. As was discussed in Section 3.4, you
may access the waypoint pages by pressing the WPT key.

To GOTO a Nearest Waypoint...

• Move the cursor to the desired waypoint name with the arrow

keys.

• Press GOTO and ENT.

5.2 PROXIMITY WAYPOINTS
The Proximity Waypoint Page allows you to define an aleirm circle

around a waypoint. This feature is useful in defining an area around a
rock, reef, or restricted waters. When you approach one of these
waypoints, the GPS 65 will notify you with an alarm tone and the
message, “Prox Alarm-[waypoint name],” if you enter the alarm circle.

If the Nearest Waypoint Page is not
currently displasred, press the NRST

softkey. This page displaj^ the

waypoint names including bearing

and range from present position.
You can scroll through the
waypoints listed by using the arrow

- Enter the proximity alarm distance.
* Press ENT to enable proximity alarm.

If the newly created proximity alarm circle overlaps with an existing
proximity alarm circle, you will be informed of the overlap with the
message “Proximity Overlap”. As lon^ as the overlap remains, this
message will be displayed each time the GPS 65 is turned on. (WARNING:

If you enter the overlap area, the unit will only inform you of the neamst

waypoint.)

5.3 REFERENCE WAYPOINTS

In section 3.4, we discussed creation of waypoints by entering the
latitude and longitude position. Another way to create a waypoint is by

referencing an existit^ waypoint. By indicating the bearing and range

from a reference waypoint, the GPS 65 is able to compute a latitude and
longitude location for the new waypoint.

GLOSSARY AND NAVIGATION TERMS

B.1 DEFDnnONS

This section provides an illustration of and definitions for the terms
used in this manual.

WPT 2

B-1

Velodty/time terms:
GS Ground speed. GS is the speed measured relative to a ground

position; also known as velocity over ground (VOG).

VMG Velocity made good. VMG is velocity in the direction of the

desired course. It is the speed at which you are closii^ on the
“active to" waypoint.

ETA Estimated time of arrival. ETA is the estimated time 3rou will

reach the “active to" waypoint based on VMG. This time is
selectable as either UTC or local.

ETE Estimated time enroute. ETE is the time it will take to reach the

“active to” waypoint based on VMG.

EHrection terms:
DTK Desired track. DTK is the course between the “from” and “to”

waypoints.

BRG Bearing. BRG is the direction from your position to the “active

to” waypoint.

CTS Course to steer. CTS is the recommended direction to steer in

order to reduce cross brack error and stay on course {see Section
B.2 for an example using CTS).

CMG Course made good. CMG is the bearing from the “active from”

waypoint to your position.

TRK Track. TRK is the direction of movement relative to a ground

position.

TRN Turn instruction. TRN is the difference between BRG and TRK.

“L” indicates you should turn to the left, “R” indicate you should

turn to the right. The degrees indicate the angle you are off
course.

Distance terms:
RNG Range. RNG is the great circle distance from your position to the

“active to” waypoint.

DMG Distance made good. DMG is the distance from the “active from”

waypoint to your position.

XTK Crosstrack. XTK is the cross track error, or distance that you

are off course. If the crosslxack error exceeds the CDl scale

B-2

setting, the XTK distance will also be displayed on the appropriate
side of the GDI.

ATD Along track distance. ATD is the along track distance to the

“active to* waypoint. It is measured from the point on the course

closest to your position.

Satellite terms:
DOP Dilution of precision. DOPisameasureofthesatellitegeometry

quality and hence the relative accuracy of your position (one
meaning the best and ten meaning poor).

EPE Estimated Position Error. EPE, which is computed using the

satellite geometry (DOP), signal and data quality, receiver
tracking status and other factors, is an overall measure of your
position accuracy.

B.2 COURSE TO STEER (CTS)

Course To Steer is a GARMIN exclusive that recommends an optimal
direction to steer that will guide you to the course and proceed ef&ciently
along your route.

HPT 2

B-3

As an example, suppose you activate the route illustrated above. The
GPS 75 chooses the dosest leg with a desired track of 45 d^rees but your
position happens to be two nautical miles off course. Hie unit will
automatically compute the optimal course to steer (which is due north
in this example). Press the NAV key until the Nav Summary Page is
displayed, then select “GTS" on Une two. Usingthe CTS direction (ООО"),
turn so that the track (ТКЮ and CTS direction match.

INSTALLATION

The GPS 65 is equipped with a gimbal bracket for fixed installations.
The GPS 65 can be mounted above dash, flush mounted, or overhead
mounted as shown below.

Although the GPS 65 is waterproof and is designed to withstand the
marine environment, it is recommended that it be mounted in a location
which provides protection from sun and spray. Before permanent
mounting, you may wish to apply power to the unit and look at the
display in the desired mounting location to ensure you have the desired
viewing ang^e.

C-5

To install above dash or overhead»

The gimbal bracket can be mounted on a flat surface iising appropriate

screws (standard 3/16" or M6 screws are recommended; lei^fh must be
selected depending on panel thickness). The GPS 65 can quickly be

installed by sliding the threaded portion of the knobs into the slots in the

gimbal bracket and tightening the knobs. The GPS 65 can easily be
removed to prevent theft by loosening the knobs and sliding the unit out
of the gimbal bracket as shown below.

To flush mount.»

* Make a rectangular cutout in the panel that is 84mm (3.30 inches)

horizontally by 119.5mm (4.70 inches) vertically.

> Insert the GPS 65 into the cutout.

‘ Thread the knobs into the sides of the GPS 65 from behind the

panel (do not ftdly lighten knobs).

C-6

Slide the gimbal bracket slots over the threaded portion of the
knobs so that the lobed section of the gimbal bracket faces
downward as shown dashed in the figure below.

• Pull the gimbal bracket downward, clamping the GPS 65 tightly

against the panel. Tighten the knobs securely.

* Connect the Power/Data Cable and the Antenna Cable.

The flush mount will accommodate panel thicknesses up to 7/16" thick.
Thicker panels may require customizing the gimbal bracket or the use
of standard M6 x 1mm x 12mm screws rather than the knobs supplied.

C-7

C.4 MAINTENANCE

The GPS 65 is constructed of quaUly material and should not
require user maintenance. Please refer any repairs to an authorized
GARMIN service center. (The unit contains no user serviceable parts,
do not attempt repairs yourself.)

unit. Proloi^ed contact may damage the case and would not be covered
by your warranty.

The waypoints, routes, custom setting, and other data stored in the
GPS 65 are maintained by on internal battery. The internal memory
battery should typically last three to five years. If the GPS 65 detects
a low memory battery, you will be informed with the message “Memory
Battery Low’'. You should return your unit to an authorized GARMIN
service center as soon as possible for service. Failure to do so may result
in loss of data each time you turn your unit off (indicated by the message
“Stored Data Lost”).

Your GPS 65 contains a highly accurate crystal oscillator which should
provide many years of reliable operation. If the unit detects excessive
