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. The aviator’s warning also displays the effective date of the internal Jeppesen NavData®.

The initialization window offers several options to speed the process of obtaining your first position fix. Choose ‘Select from Map’ to designate your approximate position from the map page.

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.

• Solid signal strength bars— the receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite(s) is ready for use.

Hollow signal strength bars will appear on the status page while the receiver collects satellite data. Once the data is collected and the satellite is ready to use, the signal strength bar changes to solid.

When the GPSMAP 195 is turned on a welcome screen appears briefly while the receiver conducts an internal self test. The same

key is used to turn the

receiver on or off.

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.

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.

Icon

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.
