TAKEOFF TOUR

The GPSMAP 195’s view of the sky will determine how fast you get a position fix, or if you get a fix at all. GPS signals do not pass through large obstructions made of wood or metal.

ACQUIRING SATELLITE SIGNALS

Because the GPSMAP 195 relies on satellite signals to

provide you with navigation guidance, the receiver’s antenna needs to

have an unobstructed, clear view of the sky for best performance. What exactly does this mean? In a nutshell, the antenna’s view of the sky will generally determine how fast you get a position fix, or if you get a fix at all. GPS signals are relatively weak and do not travel through large obstructions made of metal or wood, for example.

Once the GPS has calculated a position fix, you’ll typically have anywhere from five to nine satellites in view. Your GPSMAP 195 will continuously use all satellites in view to update your position. If some of the satellites in view are blocked, or “shaded,” the receiver can use the remaining satellites to maintain the position fix. Although a GPS receiver needs four satellites to provide a three-dimensional fix (includes altitude), the GPSMAP 195 may obtain a 2D fix with only three satellites.

INITIALIZING THE RECEIVER

Take your GPSMAP 195 outside and find a large, open area (away from towers, buildings and hangars) that has a clear view of the sky from horizon to horizon. Hold the receiver at a comfortable height, at arm’s length from your body, with the built-in antenna (the top part

above the display) parallel to the ground.

The 24 GPS satellites are constantly moving, orbiting the earth twice a day. In order to calculate your position, the GPS receiver needs to continuously “see” at least three satellites.

Your GPSMAP 195 calculates your position and movement by tracking signals sent from GPS satellites. Each of the 24 GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit information back to earth. In order to determine a position fix, your GPS receiver needs to continuously “see” at least three satellites.

Because a GPS receiver can only see satellites above the horizon, it needs to know what satellites to look for at any given time. By using an almanac (a timetable of satellite numbers and their orbits) stored in the receiver’s memory, the GPSMAP 195 can determine the distance and position of any GPS satellite.

To use this almanac data, your GPSMAP 195 needs to know where you are, or be given the opportunity to “find itself.” Once you initialize the unit to this position, thereafter the GPSMAP 195 will normally compute a fix within a few minutes. Remember, this process is only necessary under the following conditions:

• First-time use from the factory;

• The receiver has been moved over 500 miles from the last calculated position with power off; or

• The receiver’s memory has been cleared and all stored data has been lost.

TAKEOFF TOUR

INITIALIZING THE RECEIVER (cont.)

The first time you power up your new GPSMAP 195 is an important step in getting the best possible GPS performance. The receiver must be given an opportunity to collect satellite data and establish its present position. To ensure proper initialization, the GPSMAP 195 is shipped from the factory in AutoLocate™ mode, which will allow the receiver to find itself anywhere in the world. To speed up the initialization process, we recommend using the graphic initialization procedure described below, which will usually provide a position fix in about a minute.

To turn the GPSMAP 195 on:

1. Press and hold the

The welcome page will appear while the unit conducts a self test. Once the internal test is complete, the aviator’s warning will appear, asking you to read and acknowledge important information regarding the proper use of electronic charts.

Page 16

TAKEOFF TOUR

INITIALIZING THE RECEIVER (cont.)

The GPSMAP 195 will now begin searching for the appropriate satellites at your present position and should acquire a fix within a minute or so. While the receiver searches for satellites, a flashing satellite icon will appear at the left-hand side of the status bar. A signal strength bar will also appear for each satellite received, with the appropriate satellite number under each bar . The pr ogress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages:

• No signal strength bars— the receiver is looking for the satellites indicated.

• Hollow signal strength bars— the receiver has found the indicated satellite(s) and is collecting data.

Once the receiver has collected information from at least three satellites, the flashing satellite icon on the status bar will remain on steadily, and the GPSMAP 195 is ready for use.

TURNING THE GPSMAP 195 ON & OFF

The GARMIN GPSMAP 195 is a powerful electronic charting/ navigating system that provides detailed chart coverage and convenient control of many advanced features right from the moving map display. The tour is designed to take you through the basic pages and functions of the system, first by demonstrating the normal process of obtaining a position fix, and then by using the simulator mode. Once you’re familiar with the main pages and functions of the unit, refer to the reference section for instructions on performing specific tasks and functions.

The Takeoff Tour assumes that the receiver has been properly installed and initialized, and you have not changed any of the default unit settings. If you have changed any settings (position formats, units of measure, etc.), the descriptions and pictures in the tour may not match your configuration.

Now that you’ve initialized the receiver and obtained a position fix, let’s look at the normal power on sequence and see how it differs without the initialization steps. For starters, we’ll need to turn the GPSMAP 195 off for a moment.

To turn the GPSMAP 195 off:

1. Press and hold the screen is blank.

Now we can turn the receiver back on again.

To turn the GPSMAP 195 on:

WARNING: Keep in mind that the GPSMAP 195 does not track satellites in simulator mode and should never be used for actual navigation. (The GPSMAP 195 cannot turn on in simulator mode. If you forget to change back to normal operation before shutting the receiver off, the next time you use the receiver it will return to normal operation mode.)

Once the simulator has been started, the status field at the top of the page will display a ‘Simulating Navigation’ status. Since the GPSMAP 195 doesn’t receive satellite signals in simulator mode, you don’t need to be outside anymore. This is a good time to settle into a comfortable chair, at home or in the office, and continue the rest of the Takeoff Tour.

The map display, located in the middle of the page, shows your aircraft as an airplane icon on an electronically-generated chart, which includes airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections and airspaces. The map display on your GPSMAP 195 should show the local area around your present position. An internal base map adds geographic names, lakes, rivers, coastlines, interstate highways, U.S. highways and state highways. It also displays your track, routes and nearby waypoints. An on-screen cursor lets you pan to other map areas, determine the range and bearing to a position, and perform various waypoint and route functions. Note the on-screen cursor—as well as bearing, distance and position information—in the example above.

The data window, located at the top of the page, provides a user- selectable display of various navigation data, including ground track, ground speed, and the bearing and distance to the cursor (when panning) or a particular waypoint.

The status bar, located at the bottom of the page, displays the current map scale setting. The scale setting represents the distance from the left side of the map display to the right side. To get a better view of your current surroundings, zoom in or out to provide the level of detail you desire.

MAP PAGE (cont.)

The built-in base map provides geographic detail at scales down to 1/10 nautical mile. The built-in basemap is designed for best performance at scales down to 20 nautical miles. Keep in mind that whenever you do exceed the usable range of the base map (or a mapping datacard) the range field will display ‘OVR ZM’ to indicate that you should exercise caution when using the cartographic data. See page 53 for more information on map scales.

WAYPOINT CATEGORIES

The GPSMAP 195 uses an internal Jeppesen database to provide position and facility information for thousands of airports, VORs, NDBs and intersections. Each facility in the database is stored as a waypoint, with its own latitude/longitude, identifier (up to six letters and/or numbers) and other pertinent information. Up to 250 user waypoints and 250 symbol waypoints may also be created and stored in memory.

REFERENCE

KEY

Waypoint information is available through the GPSMAP 195’s key. Waypoints are divided into five categories for your convenience. Each category provides different types of detailed information for a selected facility:

• Airports— Identifier, city/state, country, facility name, position (lat/lon), elevation, fuel services, runways, approaches and communications frequencies.

• VORs— Identifier, city/state, country, facility name, position (lat/lon), frequency and co-located DME or TACAN availability.

• NDBs— Identifier, city/state, country, facility name, position (lat/lon) and frequency.

• Intersections— Identifier, region/country, position (lat/lon) and range/bearing to nearest VOR.

• User— Identifier (name), position (lat/lon), user comments and reference waypoint.

STATUSPAGE

When the satellite signals are first received , the signal strength bars are hollow, indicating the data from these satellites is still being processed.

Once the data is processed, the signal strength bars are filled in. At this point, the GPSMAP 195 can use the satellites to determine its position.

Indicator

Battery Icon

The GPSMAP 195’s status page provides a visual reference of various receiver functions, including current satellite coverage, receiver operating mode, battery strength and current receiver accuracy. The status information will give you an idea of what the receiver is doing at any given moment.

The sky view and signal strength bars give you an indication of what satellites are in view and whether or not they are being received. The signal strength is shown on a bar graph for each satellite, with the satellite number below. When a satellite is in view but not received, the signal strength bar will not be shown and the sky view indicator will not be highlighted.

The sky view shows a bird’s-eye view of the position of each satellite relative to the receiver’s last known position. The outer circle represents the horizon, the inner circle 45º above the horizon, and the center point a position directly overhead. Use the sky view to determine if there are obstructions shading your reception of GPS signals.

STATUS PAGE (cont.)

Receiver status is indicated at the top of the page, with the current estimated position error (EPE), dilution of precision (DOP), and battery level to the left of the sky view. DOP measures satellite geometry quality on a scale of one to ten (lowest numbers are best, highest numbers are worst). EPE uses DOP and other factors to calculate a horizontal position error in feet or meters. Your GPSMAP 195 shows battery strength in two ways: a battery gauge located below the DOP measurement and a battery icon located on the status bar. Both methods show continuous battery level updates. The battery gauge works like the fuel gauge in your plane or car. As battery energy is depleted, the highlighted area of the gauge is reduced, showing the remaining capacity. The battery icon provides similar information by shading a portion of the icon to show the remaining capacity. (This icon appears on every page when using battery power. It’s not necessary to return to the status page to see battery condition.)

The status field will show one of the following conditions:

• Searching the Sky— the receiver is looking for any satellites. This process can take 10-15 minutes.

• AutoLocate— the receiver is looking for any satellite whose almanac has been collected. This process can take up to five minutes.

REFERENCE

Status Page

‘Searching the Sky’ means no almanac data is stored in the GPSMAP 195. Almanac data tells your unit where to find the satellites. The receiver will ‘search’ for satellites and recollect the data.

• Acquiring Satellites— the receiver is looking for and collecting data from satellites visible at its last known or initialized position in order to calculate a fix.

• 2D Navigation— at least three satellites with good geometry have been acquired and a 2D position fix (latitude and longitude) is being calculated. ‘2D Differential Navigation’ will appear when you are receiving DGPS corrections in 2D mode.

• 3D Navigation— at least four satellites have been acquired, and your position is now being calculated in latitude, longitude and altitude. ‘3D Differential Navigation’ will appear when you are receiving DGPS corrections in 3D mode.

• Poor GPS Coverage— the receiver isn’t tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fix.

• Receiver Not Usable— the receiver is unusable, possibly due to incorrect initialization or abnormal satellite conditions. Tur n the unit off and back on to reset.

• Simulating Navigation— the receiver is operating in simulator mode, and not using actual satellite data.

‘Poor GPS Coverage’ means not enough satellites are being received to determine a position, possibly because some obstruction is blocking the signal.

STATUS PAGE OPTIONS

The GPSMAP 195’s status page features a context-sensitive options

page that provides access to settings and special features of that page.

When the receiver has been moved over 500 miles from the last known position, it can be reinitialized from the map or by entering coordinates. This helps the GPSMAP 195 look for the correct satellites.

For planning, learning, or just plain fun, the simulator mode can be easily accessed from the status page options.

Current Time

The GPSMAP 195’s position page shows you where you are, what direction you are heading and how fast you are going. The top of the page features a graphic compass to indicate your ground track (or course over ground) while moving, and four user selectable data fields: ground track (TRK), ground speed (SPD), distance traveled (TRP) and altitude (ALT). The bottom half of the page displays coordinates for your present position, along with the time of day as calculated using GPS satellites. The status bar at the bottom of the page indicates position fix status, and is described on page 8.

The units of measure for speed, distance, position and altitude are all user selectable through the navigation setup option on the main menu page. The time of day, shown in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated, Greenwich Mean Time or Zulu Time), may be set to display in a 12- or 24-hour time format and may also be adjusted to local time through the setup menu option on the main menu page.

The GPSMAP 195’s map page provides a comprehensive moving map display showing your aircraft on a digital chart, complete with geographic names, airports, navaids, lakes, rivers, coastlines and highways. It also plots your track and displays any routes and waypoints you create. An on-screen cursor lets you pan and scroll to other map areas, determine the distance and bearing to a position, and perform various route and waypoint functions.

The data window, located at the top of the page, provides a userselectable display of your current track and ground speed, along with the bearing and distance to a destination waypoint. Whenever the cursor is active, a pop-up window will appear below the data window to indicate the position, range and bearing to the cursor or a selected waypoint or navaid. Each data field may be configured to display any one of fourteen data options. The data window may also be changed to display additional data fields, a graphic compass, or a CDI scale. The status bar at the bottom of the page displays the map scale currently in use.

USING THE CURSOR

The map display uses the most map display functions. The keypad, lets you select zoom ranges and move the cursor. Two basic map operating modes, position mode and cursor mode, determine what cartography is shown on the map display. Position mode AUTOMATICALLY pans the map to keep the present position symbol (represented by an airplane icon) within the display area, while cursor mode MANUALLY pans the map to keep the cursor within the display area.

Your GPSMAP 195 will always power up in the position mode, with your aircraft centered on the map display. Whenever the is pressed (with the map page displayed), the GPSMAP 195 will enter cursor mode and the cursor’s position coordinates appear above the map.

AIRSPACE ALARMS

The last item on the alarms submenu is airspace alarms. The airspace alarms will inform you of any special use or controlled airspace near your position or in your flight path, according to the following conditions:

• ’Airspace Ahead Less Than 10 minutes’— occurs if your projected course will take you inside an airspace within the next 10 minutes.

• ’Airspace Near and Ahead’— is displayed when you are within two nautical miles of an airspace and your current course will take you inside the airspace.

• ’Inside Airspace’— is presented when you have entered the boundaries of the airspace.

• ’Near Airspace Less Than 2 nm’— appears when you are within two nautical miles of an airspace, but your current course will not take you inside the airspace.

WARNING: If you fly above or below an airspace, then descend or climb to enter the airspace, the ‘Inside Airspace’ message may be the only alert provided! The ‘Airspace Ahead’ and/or ‘Airspace Near’ messages will not occur if you are outside the vertical limits defined by the airspace, plus the altitude buffer.

The course deviation alarm provides an alert when you drift off course beyond the limits you have set.

AIRSPACE ALARMS (cont.)

Airspace alerts may be enabled/disabled by airspace type. Alerts for the following airspace categories may controlled from the alarms submenu:

• Class B, CTA— ICAO control areas

• Class C, TMA— ICAO terminal control areas

• Towers, Control Zones— In U.S., a 4.3 nm radius from air-

ports with control towers which are not associated with Class B or Class C airspace; control zones in Europe

• Restricted Areas— Restricted areas

• MOAs & Other SUAs— Includes military operations, alert,

training, caution, danger and warning areas

You may enable/disable the airspace alerts by the individual airspace categories shown.

The altitude buffer provides an added margin of safety beyond the floor and ceiling limits of the given airspace.

• Mode C Veils— Outer limit of an airspace (usually Class B or C) where mode C altitude-encoding transponder is required

Alarms for prohibited areas may not be turned off. Keep in mind that turning a warning off will only prevent you from receiving a message alert for an airspace. Airspace boundaries will still be displayed on the map page unless that category is turned off from the map options page.

The ‘Data Transfer’ option allows the GPSMAP 195 to exchange track log, waypoint, almanac, and route data with a personal computer or another GPSMAP 195.

INPUT/OUTPUT SETTINGS

The input/output submenu lets you control interface settings for connecting to external NMEA devices, a DGPS receiver or a personal computer. The ‘Input/Output Format’ field, at the top of the page, lets you specify one of seven interface formats:

• Aviation In/No Out is a proprietary interface for connection to a GARMIN panel-mounted GPS receiver. With this selection, and a two-wire connection to the panel-mounted GPS receiver, any GOTO or route selection is automatically displayed on the GPSMAP 195. This eliminates the need to enter the data into both units.

• Data Transfer is the proprietary interface that allows you to update the Jeppesen database. This format is also used to exchange data such as waypoints, routes and track logs between GPSMAP units or with a GARMIN PC Software Kit.

• NMEA In/NMEA Out supports input from an NMEA compatible external device and provides NMEA 0183 output. (See Appendix B for additional NMEA sentence information.)

• NMEA In/No Out allows input from a NMEA compatible external device, with no output capabilities.

• No In/NMEA Out provides navigation information to a compatible NMEA 0183 v.2.0 device at 4800 baud.

When transferring data to/from another GPSMAP 195, select the type of data and whether to ‘request’ it from or ‘send’ it to the other unit.

• No In/No Out provides no interfacing capabilities.

• RTCM In/NMEA Out allows Differential GPS (DGPS) input using a standard RTCM format and also provides selectable NMEA output.

• RTCM In/No Out allows DGPS input using a standard RTCM format, without output capabilities.

To select an input/output format:

1. Highlight the ‘Input/Output Format’ field and press

2. Select the desired setting and press

When the ‘Data Transfer’ option is selected, you’ll need to specify what information to request or send to the remote unit through the Transfer Mode field. The ‘slave’ setting lets you control all data transfer from the ‘external’ GPS receiver, or PC, while the other settings request or send specific data from the primary unit. Information describing the settings required is provided with each Database Update diskette and with the PC Software Kit. Generally, for database updates or PC connections, use the ‘Data Transfer’ format and select ‘Slave Mode’ (as shown at left).

If you are using the NMEA 0183 v.2.0 interface setting, the baud rate is automatically set to 4800.

To utilize the TracBack feature, you should clear the track log before leaving the departure airport.

• Time– records track plot based on a user-defined time interval.

• Resolution (default)– records track plot based upon a user-defined variance from your course over ground. The resolution option is recommended for the most efficient use of memory and TracBack performance. The distance value (entered in the interval field) is the maximum left/right deviation allowed from the last defined ground track before recording a new point.

• Distance– records track based on a user-defined distance between points.

• Interval Value— defines the distance or time interval used to record the track log.

• Delete Track?— allows you to clear the track log currently stored in memory.

• Start TracBack?— converts the current track log into an inverted route and begins route navigation along the track log.

TRACBACK NAVIGATION

The third, and final, method of navigating to a destination is by using the GPSMAP 195’s TracBack feature. The TracBack function allows you to retrace your path using the track log automatically stored in the receiver’s memory, which eliminates the need to store waypoints along the way. TracBack routes are created by reducing your track log into a route of up to 30 waypoints and activating the new route in reverse order. Once activated, a TracBack route will lead you back to the oldest track log point stored in memory, so it’s a good idea to clear the existing track log at the start of your current trip (i.e., at the departure airport).

To clear the old track log and begin a new one:

1. Press the

NOTE: The ‘Start TracBack?’ selection is also available from the GOTO

Once a TracBack has been activated, the GPSMAP 195 will take the track log currently stored in memory and divide it into segments called ‘legs’. Up to 30 temporary waypoints will be created to mark the most significant features of the track log in order to duplicate your exact path as closely as possible. To get the most out of the TracBack feature, remember the following tips:

• Always clear the track log at the point that you want to go back to (e.g., airport, etc.).

• The ‘RECORD’ option on the track log setup page must be set to ‘Fill’ or ‘Wrap’.

• There must be at least two track log points stored in memory to create a TracBack route.

To stop the TracBack function before a route is created, press the while the progress window is displayed.

Main Menu: Timers

The TracBack function will create a series of temporary waypoints along your track log back to the oldest track log point in memory.

TRACBACK NAVIGATION (cont.)

• If there is not enough available memory to add more waypoints and create a TracBack route, you will be alerted with a ‘waypoint memory full’ message, and the receiver will use available waypoints to create a route with an emphasis on the track log closest to the destination.

• If the track log interval is set to the ‘Time’ option, the route may not follow your exact path. (Keep the interval set to resolution for best performance.)

• If the receiver is turned off or satellite coverage is lost during your trip, the TracBack will draw a straight line between any point where coverage was lost and where it resumed.

• If the changes in direction and distance in your track log are very complex, 30 waypoints may not accurately mark your exact path. The receiver will then assign the 30 waypoints to the most significant points of your track, and simplify segments with fewer changes in direction.

TIMERS

The timers submenuprovides count down, count up, battery and trip timers for the various time management needs you may encounter in flight. The first timer function will count down from an entered interval and alert you with a message or keep a running timer that will count up to 99:59:59 while the unit is powered on.

The general purpose timer field offers a count up and count down timer. You may also select from a variety of other timers to keep track of trip times, battery life or elapsed time using the other timer options.

Once a datacard has been inserted, the map coverage and detail will

conform to the following conditions:

USING DATACARDS

• When the selected zoom range is covered by both the internal base map and a datacard, map detail will be displayed using the data with the best resolution.

• When the selected zoom range exceeds the resolution of the available chart data, overzoom map detail will be displayed. An ‘Ovr Zm’ warning will appear on the status bar, next to the map scale. Additional caution should be used while navigating in this mode, since at these zoom levels highway, waterway and railway detail may appear slightly displaced from actual position.

‘OVR ZM’ appears next to the map scale when the zoom level exceeds the resolution of the map data. Exercise caution when using this data.

NOTE: Whenever you zoom past the usable range of a datacard, the range field will display ‘Ovr Zm’. This warning indicates that although the information is still being displayed, you should exercise extreme caution using the data.

When a datacard is installed, the GPSMAP 195’s system will automatically use the best available chart for display. As your position changes and you zoom in/out, the system will automatically display the appropriate data for the area you are in. When you exit the area covered by the datacard, the GPSMAP 195 will revert back to the built-in basemap.

If you are not seeing certain map items (navaids, towns, highways, etc.), check the map configuration settings available from the map options page, as described on pages 54-58.
