Cautions and
Warnings
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals- Your wireless hand-held portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previ­ously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: ANSI C95.1 (1992)*, NCRP Report 89 (1986)*, ICNIRP (1996)*
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evalua­tions for the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). The design of your phone complies with FCC guide­lines (and those standards).
Antenna Care- Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
Phone Operation- NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Cautions and
Warnings
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate most efficiently: Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
Electronic Devices- Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However. certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from our wireless phone. Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturer’s Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pace­maker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Per­sons with pacemakers: Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON; Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket, Should use the ear opposite the pace­maker to minimize the potential for interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF imme­diately.
Other Medical Devices- If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn you phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Cautions and
Warnings
Vehicles- RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities- Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft- FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas- To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two­way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres- Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always clearly marked. They include fueling ares such as gasoline stations, below deck on boats: fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Cautions and
Warnings
WARNING - For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the NavTalk to secure the unit so that it will not inter­fere with the vehicle’s operating controls, obstruct the operator’s view of driving conditions, or cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident. Do not mount the NavTalk over airbag panels or in the field of airbag deployment. Airbags expand with a rapid force that can propel objects in their path toward the driver or passengers causing possible injury. Refer to safety precautions contained in the vehicle owner’s manu­al. Do not mount the NavTalk in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to impact it in an accident or collision. The mounting hardware provided by GARMIN is not warranted against collision damage or the consequences thereof.
Do Not Mount Where Drivers Field of Vision Is Blocked
Do Not MountOver Airbag Panels
Do Not Place Unsecured on the Vehicle Dash
Do Not Mount In Front of an Airbag Field of Deployment
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 NavTalk to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the NavTalk while you are driving. Fail­ure by the driver to pay full attention to operation of the vehicle and to road conditions while the vehicle is in motion could result in accident or collision with property damage and personal injury.

Cautions,
FCC
Compliance
Caution - The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the govern­ment of the United States, 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 NavTalk is a preci­sion electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or mis­interpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of this Operator’s Manual and thoroughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indi­cations from the NavTalk to all available navigation sources including the infor­mation from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, maps, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
Service and Repair - The NavTalk does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized GARMIN service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void your warranty.
FCC Compliance - The NavTalk GPS Receiver/Cellular Phone meets com­pliance requirements for maximum Specific Absorption Rate of radio wave emis­sions for the limit given in the FCC 96-326 Guideline. Tested by APREL Labora­tories, an agent of the Telecommunications Board of the Spectrum Scientific Institute, Nepean, Ontario, Canada.

Section 1
Introduction To NavTalk GPS Receiver/Cellular Phone
The first time you power-up your NavTalk is an important step in getting off to the right start in achieving desired results and satis­factory operation. A basic understanding of the capabilities of the NavTalk and how its two main features function is essential to prop­er operation and maximum performance.
Before you can actually turn on your unit, the power source (rechargeable battery pack) must be fully charged. So, you may want to jump ahead to Section 2.2, “Battery Charging and Installation” to begin that process, then read this manual while waiting for the bat­tery to complete its charging cycle.
This section introduces you to the NavTalk List of Features and a basic overview of GPS Navigation and Cellular Phone usage. Because both NavTalk GPS and Cellular Phone functions are full-featured and go beyond conventional equipment, you will need to become familiar with their use before using this unit.

Complete instruc­tions on charging the bat­tery pack are on Pages 10-11.
1.2 Cellular Phone Overview
Now it’s time to learn the basics of operating the cellu­lar phone. Let’s begin with a brief overview of the cellular telephone system. Your NavTalk cell phone uses FM radio waves instead of conventional telephone lines to place and receive calls. A cellular telephone network consists of indi­vidual coverage areas (small sections of a city, typically sev­eral miles in diameter) called “cells”.
Each cell site has its own antenna located on a tower which is linked to a Mobile Telephone Switching Office (MTSO), which connects your call to the public switched telephone network or transfers it to another cellular phone.
As you move from one location to another, your call is handed off to the next cell site to provide the best signal coverage and call quality. This arrangement of multiple cells allows you to travel throughout a geo­graphical area and maintain a quality conversation as the call is handed off from cell site to cell site. The sig­nal is affected by atmospheric and geographic condi­tions which exist at the time you place or receive a call. Remember, you must subscribe to a cellular system (to get a phone number) before you can use your cell phone. If you haven’t been provided with a list of cellu­lar service providers by your Garmin Dealer then you need to determine which of the service providers in your area that you want to use. You may already have a service provider for a current cell phone and may want to have your NavTalk programmed to accept your cur­rent number or add a new one. Remember that:
1. You can program up to three cellular numbers on the NavTalk.
2.You need to have your battery pack charged and installed prior to taking your NavTalk to a Service Provider. Be certain to take along the trickle charger in the event that the service provider can not program your NavTalk immediately.
3.Be certain to give the service provider the Service Provider Instruction Card packaged with your NavTalk.This will tell the service provider how to access special programming information needed to assign a phone number to the NavTalk.

Page 17
4. The service provider will ask you questions about the type of service options you desire and then program your NavTalk accordingly.
1.3 GPS Navigation Overview
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of 24 satellites which circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit information to earth.
The NavTalk must continuously “see” at least three of these satellites to calculate your position and track your movement. At times, additional satellites may be needed to determine a position.
By using an almanac (a timetable of satellite num­bers and their orbits) stored in the receiver’s memory, the NavTalk can determine the distance and position of any GPS satellite and use this information to compute your position.
Your GPS receiver can only see satellites above the horizon, so it needs to know what satellites to look for at any given time. To use this almanac data, your GPS needs to either be told its general location (“initialized”) or given the opportunity to find itself.
Once you initialize the unit to a position, it will typ­ically compute a fix within a few minutes. We’ll show you how to initialize your new NavTalk on page 65.
Initialization is only necessary under the following conditions:
• The first time you use your receiver (new from the factory).
• After the receiver has been moved over 500 miles (with the power off) from the last time you used it.
• If the receiver’s memory has been cleared and all internally stored data has been lost.
SECTION 1
Introduction To
NavTalk
Because the NavTalk relies on satellite signals to pro­vide you with navigation guidance, the receiver needs to have an unobstructed, clear view of the sky for best per­formance.
5
Page 18
SECTION 1
Introduction To
NavTalk
In a nutshell, the GPS receiver’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 rocks, buildings, people, metal, or heavy tree cover, so remember to keep a clear view of the sky at all times for best performance.
Once the NavTalk has calculated a position fix, you’ll usually have anywhere from five to twelve satellites in view. The receiver will then continuously select satellites in view to update your position. If some of the satellites in view get blocked or “shaded,” the receiver can simply use an alternate satellite to maintain the position fix.
Although a GPS receiver needs four satellites to pro­vide a three-dimensional (3D) fix, it can maintain a two­dimensional (2D) fix with only three satellites. A three­dimensional fix means the unit knows its latitude, longi­tude, and altitude, while a two-dimensional fix means the unit knows only its latitude and longitude.

2.2 Battery Installation:
Before you can begin to explore the features and operational characteristics of the NavTalk, you must first install the NiMH Battery Pack and charge it for 14 to 16 hours (Trickle Charger).
1. Make certain the Battery Pack is securely in place in the cavity on the back of the NavTalk by aligning the two tabs of the base of the battery pack with the two small slots at the base of the cavity. Press the top portion of the battery pack in place until it clicks into position.
2. Place the plug end of the charger assembly into the power connection slot at the bottom of the NavTalk, (the plug is indexed to fit only in one direction). Insert the transformer portion of the charger into a 120 VAC wall outlet.
3. Allow 14 to 16 hours for the initial charging of the Battery Pack. NiMH batteries require conditioning during the first charging to establish maximum charge capacity.
10
4. To determine if the battery pack has been fully
charged, turn on the NavTalk and observe the bat­tery icon in the status bar at the bottom of the dis­play. The battery symbol should show solid black when fully charged.
5. Indications that the battery pack requires recharging are: the battery status symbol will appear empty, a Low Battery message will appear and a short intermittent warning tone will be heard. If no image appears on the screen when the power button is pressed, the battery may be fully discharged or the contrast is set too light.
Page 23
Important Information about NiMH Batteries:
Do not leave a charged battery connected to the charger for extended periods, it can shorten the battery life.
Do not use a battery pack if it gets wet as water can short across battery contacts. For the same reason, keep the battery pack away from loose metal objects such as keys, paper clips, etc.
Check contacts for dirt or corrosion if the battery pack does not charge properly.
If the battery pack has been stored at tempera­tures above or below the specified operating range for the NavTalk, allow the unit to cool down or warm up accordingly before use to achieve maximum battery power.
Be certain to turn the NavTalk off before remov­ing the battery pack.
In many states and cities Municipal Law requires for environmentally sound collec­tion and recycling or disposal of Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries. Contact your local waste management official for instructions on disposal or recycling.

• The Cellular Signal Strength - is indicated by an antenna with 1 to 5 signal bars. The number of bars shows the strength of the signal received by your Navtalk. No bars means you may not be able to call.
The display will change as you move with your unit. If the signal is not strong enough to place a call, try moving to a different location.
• The phone “In Use” indicator (displayed
during placed or answered call)- this symbol
appears whenever you answer or place a phone call. When there is no call activity this space is blank or replaced by the Auto-Answer or Pager icon when these features are selected. Refer to page 47. When the microphone is muted an “M” will appear next to the “In Use” icon. The “Auto-Data” icon appears when location data is transmitting.
• The Roaming Status- (H means Home, A or
B means roaming A or B, and P means roaming on a preferred SID).
The term “roaming” applies to the use of your NavTalk within systems other than those designated as your “home” system. As your NavTalk begins to roam, it seeks service according to the conditions you have selected. Contact your system operator, or that of the visit­ed system, for information on billing and dialing services.
When the phone is not communicating with the cellular system, either because the system is down or the phone is out of range, the words “No Service” are displayed on the top line in place of the indicators described above. “Cellular Off” means the phone is off, but allows access to all cellular pages. You cannot send or receive calls with the exception of using Emergency Calling. Refer to page 60.
When the phone is not operating properly the words “Service Unit” are displayed on the top line and the phone cannot be used for calls.
The bottom line provides some general purpose information in addition to the current GPS status. Three indicators are displayed:
• The Power/Battery Status - (battery gauge, external plug-in or fast charge icon). The amount of shading left in the battery icon shows the amount of charge left in the battery pack. The more shading you see, the greater the charge. When the battery pack is low, the NavTalk alerts you in the following ways:
• ‘Empty icon’—No charge left.
• ‘Low Battery’ message, followed by a periodic tone.
Page 27
If you ignore theses warnings, the NavTalk will automatically turn itself off when the battery has a very small charge left. Simply charge the battery to resume normal operation. A two prong plug icon indicates that you are using AC or DC power adapters. The ‘Chrg’ icon will flash when using the fast charge option. An automobile icon will appear when using the GARMIN Vehicular Adapter (Hands-Free) Kit.
• Backlight Icon - shows active backlighting.
• The GPS status - (solid satellite icon means
tracking satellites, flashing means searching satellites, SIM means simulator, OFF means GPS off ). See the reference section for more information on satellite acquisition.
The regular size version of the Status Bar borrows the same icons and text, except in a condensed size (see figure below).
Notice how the cellular portions of the regular Sta­tus Bar have been reduced to fit, but directly reflect the look and feel of the larger versions. The left half of the regular Status Bar equates to the top line of the larger version and the right half corresponds to the bottom line.

You can quickly scroll through the four pages in either direction by repeatedly pressing the PAGE or QUIT keys. We’ll cover each of the cell phone pages in detail in the reference sec­tion, but for now let’s just briefly introduce each page. The first cellular phone page is the Cellular Status Page.
Cellular Status Page
The Cellular Status Page displays the following:
• Your phone number, time of your last call, last dialed number, or the date- (you can
switch between the four by pressing ENTER).
• A message center- which gives you easy access to a list of missed calls. Detailed information on the message center is given in the reference section.
• Configurable Data Fields-These two data fields
can be changed by selecting ‘Change Fields’ from the cellular page menu. The fields can be changed from ‘Time of Day’ and ‘System I.D.’ to two of 16 options. (See pages 43 and 66.)
• System Identification Number (SID)- The numeric system ID for the cellular system with which the NavTalk is currently communicating.
The Cellular System Page also displays a status bar
which was discussed on page 13.
Page 29
There are two sub menu pages which are accessed from the Cellular Status Page: the Missed Calls Page and the Dialing Page. These two pages are discussed in detail on pages 42 and 43.
PhoneBook Page
• The PhoneBook Page gives you a handy way of recording and storing names and phone numbers for later use.
• The PhoneBook Page will hold up to 100 names in alphabetical order in tabbed sec­tions. Tabs and names are selected using the ARROW Rocker Pad.
• The Spell’n Find feature allows you to select a name and number from the PhoneBook quickly by spelling the name starting with the first characters of the name. This is par­ticularly useful when your Phonebook is nearly filled to capacity. Press MENU with the PhoneBook page displayed to access.

2.11 GPS Pages
All of the NavTalk’s GPS setup and options are accessible through six main GPS pages. You can quick­ly scroll through the six GPS pages in either direction using the PAGE or QUIT keys. Let’s briefly look at each of these pages in order to give you some insight into how they help you navigate.
Satellite Status Page
Let’s start with the Satellite Status Page. If you’re not already on this page, press PAGE or QUIT until it appears.
The Satellite Status Page shows you satellite status information that helps you understand what the GPS receiver is doing.
It features a sky view of available satellites, corre­sponding signal strength bars, the status of your cur­rent position fix (acquiring, 2D, 3D, etc.), and your estimated position error (EPE).
The Satellite Page and all other GPS main pages display the Status Bar at the base of each page.
Position Page
The Position Page shows you where you are, what direction you’re heading, and how fast you’re going.
A graphic compass at the top of the page shows your direction of travel while your moving (your track), and six user-selectable data fields below show your current speed, average speed, trip odometer, trip timer, and sunrise/sunset times at your current posi­tion.
“User-selectable” means you can change them to display other information. We’ll cover these fields in more detail in the reference section. Below the user­selectable data fields are additional data fields that dis­play your current position in latitude and longitude and current time and date.
18
Page 31
Map Page
The Map Page shows your movement and sur­rounding detail (lakes, rivers, highways and towns). Your present position is identified by a pointer icon in the center of the map. You can use the Zoom/Volume keys to adjust the map scale (800 feet to 500 miles).
To change the map scale:
1. Press the IN Zoom key (down arrow) to select a smaller scale and more detail for a smaller area.
2. Press the OUT Zoom key (up arrow) to select a larger scale and display a larger area.
Nearby waypoints are depicted on the map with any one of over 40 different symbols, with the waypoint name shown directly above the symbol. We’ll cover more about the NavTalk’s waypoint features and the Map Page in the reference section, including how to change the map orientation if you desire.
Compass Page
The NavTalk features two different navigation pages, the Compass Page and the Highway Page. Let’s discuss the basics of the Compass Page first.
The Compass Page provides graphic steering guid­ance to a destination waypoint, with an emphasis on the bearing to your destination and current direction of travel. (The Highway Page places greater emphasis on the straight-line desired course and the distance and direction you are off course.)
A rotating ‘compass ring’ shows your course over ground while you’re moving (your track) and a bearing pointer that indicates the direction of the destination waypoint relative to the course over ground (the bearing).
The compass ring and pointer arrow work indepen­dently to show—at a glance—the direction of your movement and the direction to your destination. For instance, if the arrow points up, you are going directly to the waypoint. If the arrow points in any other direc­tion, turn toward the arrow until it points up—then continue moving in that direction.
An options menu allows you to select ‘Big Numbers’ to change field character size while diminishing the compass size and ‘Change Fields’ to custom arrange dis­played data fields.

Highway Page
Like the Compass Page, the Highway Page also provides graphic steering guidance to a destination waypoint. You can use the Highway Page instead of the Compass Page as your primary navigation page when your main concern is to follow a defined course.
Your present position is displayed at the bottom
center of the highway display.
The line down the middle of the highway represents your desired course. As you navigate toward a way­point, the highway will actually move—indicating the direction you’re off course. To stay on course, simply move toward the center of the highway.
The fields at the top left of the page show speed and distance to your destination (or the next waypoint in a route), along with a track compass showing current direction of travel.
Across from the speed field is the time required to reach your destination (or the next waypoint in a route), in hours/minutes or minutes/seconds. The point­er shows the bearing to your destination, relative to your current track. If the pointer points straight ahead, you’re heading directly to your destination!
List of GOTO Waypoints
20
Active Route/GOTO Page
The last of the six main GPS pages is the Active Route/GOTO Page. This page shows the GOTO way­point or each waypoint of a route, with waypoint name and the course along each leg (segment) of the route.
When using a route, the current destination is marked with an arrow on the left-hand side of the screen. If no destination has been specified using the #/GOTO key or a route, no waypoints will be listed on the page.

4.1 GPS Overview
Basic GPS
Using the
Simulator
For an overview of the NavTalk GPS function,
refer to Section 1 on page 1 of this manual.
4.2 Using the GPS Simulator Program
The Simulator is designed to introduce you to the application of the NavTalk basic GPS features using a simulated trip. The simulator assumes that the receiver has been properly initialized as explained in this section and that you have not changed any of the factory default settings. If you have changed any settings (position formats, units of measure, etc.) the descriptions and pictures in this section may not match your configura­tion.
WARNING: Understand that the receiver does not actually track satellites when in the simu­lator mode and therefore it should never be used for actual navigation. The receiver cannot be turned on with the simulator mode active, so if you forget to return it to normal operation before turning the unit off, it will automatically return to normal operation the next time you use the NavTalk. However, if you switch from simulated navigation to the cellular phone mode and then back to GPS mode, the unit will remain in the simulated navigation mode.

4.3 Initializing the NavTalk
Before you can use the GPS Receiver it must be initialized (given an opportunity to determine where it is located on the globe). To initialize the NavTalk, take the unit outside and find an open area where the antenna has a clear view of the sky. Hold the unit at a comfortable height with the GPS patch antenna par­allel to the ground.
Since basic operation involves getting acquainted with the GPS receiver, switch to the Satellite Status Page if the Cellular Status Page appears by pressing the GPS/PHONE key.
Page 43
Each time the Navtalk is turned on, the Welcome Page (spinning globe) will appear while the unit con­ducts a self test. Once the internal test is complete (after a few seconds), the Land Data Warning Page will appear, asking you to read and acknowledge important informa­tion regarding the proper use of the land data that is provided.
After approximately ten seconds, the Land Data Warning Page will be replaced by the Cellular Status Page. (If the Satellite Status Page appears instead of the Cellular Status Page, it’s because the unit was in the cell phone mode when it was turned off.) If the GPS receiver needs initialization before obtaining a position fix, a message will inform you to “select initialization method”.
To initialize the NavTalk:
1. Press ENTER to acknowledge the message and see a list of initialization options or select Initialize Position from the Satellite Status Page Menu.
2. Use the ARROW Rocker Pad to highlight Use Map and press ENTER.
3. Use the ARROW Rocker Pad to point the map cursor to your approximate location (within 250 miles). You can also use the IN/OUT ZOOM keys to make it easier to,identify your approximate position.
4. Press ENTER to select the position and begin searching for satellites.
You can bypass both the Welcome
Page and the Warning Page by
pressing the
You’ll know you have a fix when the NavTalk auto­matically transitions from the Satellite Status Page to the Map Page. The NavTalk is now ready to use.
4.3.1 Troubleshooting
If you have trouble initializing or getting a position
fix, check for the following:
• Does the receiver have a clear view of the sky?
It may be necessary to mount an external antenna on your vehicle’s roof or trunk in order to give the unit a better view of the sky. Refer to Appendix C for informa­tion about external antennas.
• Have you selected the right area when initializing?
The Satellite Page Menu allows you
to select an intialization method, ori-

4.4 Selecting the Simulator Mode
Using the Simulator Mode is the easiest method for learning the basics of GPS naviga­tion and using the NavTalk GPS features.
To select the simulator mode:
1. Press MENU twice to access the main menu.
NOTE:You do not need to be operating the NavTalk in the GPS Mode. The Main Menu is universal to both Phone and GPS modes.
2. Use the DOWN ARROW Rocker Pad to scroll down the menu to Setup.
3. Press the ENTER key to access the Setup Directory tabs then use the LEFT or RIGHT
ARROW Rocker Pad keys to scroll to the SIM tab.
4. Press ENTER to highlight Mode then press ENTER again to pop up Simulator Off/Sim-
ulator On. Use the ARROW Rocker Pad to select Simulator ON. Press ENTER.
5. Use the ARROW Rocker Pad and the ENTER key to scroll through and select the simulator settings for Speed, Track, Track Control, and Altitude.
NOTE: These may be left as-is during your first look at the simulator and then used later when you want to practice more advanced simulation tech­niques with the GPS receiver.
6. After you have completed the desired simulator settings, press the GPS/PHONE key to return to the GPS main pages. Press the PAGE key repeatedly to access the satellite page. The banner above the page should state Simulating Navigation.

NOTE: The Cellular Phone feature is still active during GPS simulation and you can make and answer calls while in this mode. The satellite symbol in the status bar has been replaced by the letters Sim to provide constant indi­cation that the GPS receiver is in the simulation mode. The GPS receiver will now simulate navigation based on the information acquired when you initialized the unit.
Page 45
4.5 To cycle through the main pages:
SECTION 4
1. Press PAGE to move through each of the main pages in normal fashion.
2. Press QUIT to move through the pages in reverse order.
In normal mode the unit would automati­cally sequence from the Satellite Status Page to the Map Page once enough satellites were received to determine your position. At that point the receiver would be ready to use for navigation. Because the unit is in simulation, you won’t see this sequencing, but you will see simulation of signal strength and other attrib­utes of satellite reception simulated on the Satellite Status Page.
The Position Page will show the last known position as a starting location. If you’ve already initialized the unit, the starting location should be very near to your current position. Now, move to the Map Page to create a destination and learn about navigation features.
4.6 Selecting the Map Page.
Press the PAGE key repeatedly until the Map Page appears.The Map Page combines digital charting with a number of selectable features. The map display shows your present position using a pointer icon in the center of the display. Map features such as lakes, rivers, towns, railways, background roads and high­ways are shown as well as your present posi­tion and nearby waypoints. The map can be oriented with the top of the map always point­ing north (‘North Up’) or it can automatically rotate to keep your current direction of travel at the top of the screen (‘Track Up’). You can use the ZOOM IN/OUT keys to adjust the map to the desired scale. The current scale is shown in the lower left-hand corner of the display.

mile scale with “Present Position” centered on map.
1. Press the ZOOM IN key to select a smaller scale and display a smaller geographic area.
2. Press the ZOOM OUT key to select a larger scale and display a larger geographic area.
Nearby waypoints are depicted on the map with any one of over 40 different symbols, with the waypoint name displayed directly above the symbol. To help you understand this fea­ture, let’s create a waypoint directly on the map and then navigate to this new waypoint.
Select a five mile scale by pressing the ZOOM IN or OUT key repeatedly.
Working from the map page involves the use of the “Reference Arrow”. The arrow is controlled by the arrow keypad and is an important tool in allowing you to pan to other areas on the map to create waypoints, view waypoint infor­mation and to create routes. To familiarize yourself with the map page and reference arrow and waypoints, perform the following exercise:
1. Use the ARROW Rocker Pad to move the arrow. Try following a highway (or other fea­ture) near your position. To move more quickly, press and hold the arrow on the key pad. A data field appears above the map, showing the bearing and distance from your present position to the cursor (arrow) along with the latitude and longitude of the arrows position.
2. Use the ARROW Rocker Pad to move the arrow any direction five miles from your pre­sent position then press ENTER. This cre­ates a waypoint at the arrow location and displays the Mark Waypoint Page.

3. A three digit number is pre-assigned to your new waypoint as its name but well assign it a more descriptive name, SIMUL8. High­light the waypoint name field and press ENTER. Your first choice will be to assign a symbol to the waypoint. When you highlight the bullet in front of the waypoint number the symbol menu will appear. Scroll down to the symbol you desire and press ENTER and the symbol will appear before your waypoint name in the waypoint edit box. Press the RIGHT Arrowkey to highlight the name then press ENTER to select the first charac­ter. Use the ARROW Rocker Pad or the phone keypad to enter the new name; move up or down to enter letters using the arrow keypad to scroll through number 1 through 0 and the alphabet. Press the RIGHT or LEFT Arrow keys to move back or on to the next letter of the name.
NOTE: An even faster method of entering a name is to use the phone keypad letters. Instead of cycling through the entire alphabet you can choose a key with only three letters and one number. Pressing one of these keys enters the key number, then the three alpha characters in order. When you pause after entering a desired number or letter, the cursor automatically moves to the next character space. This is the preferred method for naming waypoints, routes and entering names in your PhoneBook.

bearing pointer that indicates the direction of the destination (bearing) relative to the course over ground. The compass ring and pointer arrow work independently to show, at a glance, the direction of your movement and the direc­tion to your destination. If the arrow points up, you are going directly to the waypoint. If the arrow points any direction other than up, turn toward the arrow until it points up. The distance to the next waypoint, time to the next waypoint and current speed are displayed above the graphic compass display.
o view the Highway Page:
4.10 T
1. Press the PAGE key repeatedly until the Highway Page is displayed.
The line down the middle of the highway represents your desired course. As you navi­gate to your destination, the highway will actu­ally move and indicate the direction you are off course. To stay on course, steer toward the center of the highway. As you approach the waypoint, the highway will end at the final destination. When the waypoint marker is at the bottom of the highway display, you have arrived at your destination. A track compass also shows your current track directly above the highway display making easy to determine the direction you’re headed.
38
The pointer arrow at the top of the page indicates the direction to the destination way­point (bearing) relative to the direction you are moving (track). If the pointer points straight ahead, you’re heading directly to the waypoint. If not, turn in the direction of the pointer and the pointer will turn around, pointing straight
Page 51
ahead when you begin moving toward the des­tination waypoint. Try moving on and off course again by using the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW Rocker Pad keys and watch as the dis­play and bearing pointer changes.
Keep in mind, that for many of the features such as Routes, Track Logs and Waypoints List to function, you must first create some data to store in these directories.
For the direction arrow to point in the proper direction you must have been moving.

5.6.1 Programming Phone Setup (Answer Mode, Auto Redial, Auto Data and Calling Card PIN)
There are three Answer Mode options, Manual Answer, Auto Answer (Hands-Free, for headsets), and Auto Pager. When Auto Pager answers, the microphone is muted and the unit emits a beep tone to indicate the Auto Pager fea­ture is active. The caller then enters their phone number which is placed in the “Missed Calls” list along with a date/time stamp. Inform frequent callers about the Auto Pager beep tone signal. Pressing SEND pre-empts Auto Pager. Pressing END before answering any call, cancels Auto Answer or Auto Pager. These two modes then resume for subsequent calls. Auto Redial allows you to redial the number you are calling up to nine times. Auto Data provides for location data transmission without ringing the phone or requir­ing the SEND key to be pressed, and without dis­playing messages about location transfer. If data is
detected within three seconds, the call will
not ring for up to 50 seconds and is treated according to user selection (Auto Answer, Auto Pager, or Manual Answer). Auto Data selection can be locked and unlocked using the Security Password.

5.10 Setting The Date & Time on Your NavTalk
Date and time are calculated directly from satellite signals and cannot be changed. Refer to GPS Reference, Section 6 for time options.
5.11 Setting Backlighting, Contrast, Power Saver, and Remote Command
Control of backlighting is accomplished on the System page along with Contrast adjustment and the Power Saver feature. Backlighting is important to efficient phone use at certain times of the day, such as early morning, late evening and at night. We recommend that backlighting be set for “Always On” when powered by external power sources such as AC or DC adapters and chargers.
Otherwise when operating on battery power, set for the time normally required for dialing or other phone functions you normally use. When set for a specific time backlighting will auto cancel at the expiration of the time set, which begins after the last key press, but will turn back on when an incoming call rings-in or any button on the unit is pressed.
NOTE: Extensive use of backlighting will cause a significant reduction in battery life when powering the NavTalk from the batteries only. Enabling the ‘Always On’ backlighting setting during charging will significantly lengthen charging time.

5.14 Setting Up Dial String Codes for Automated Phone Services
You can program the NavTalk to dial DTMF Tones for a wide variety of automated phone system services. You can program calling card PIN’s, link phone numbers from the PhoneBook page, pause in a dial string, stop dialing until you press send again after listening to prompts at the call destination, and to transmit your GPS position via DTMF tones.
NOTE: When you add a Dial String Code to a number string you must use the UP or DOWN Rocker Pad Arrows to enter the code. These keys display only the code letters and numerals used to create a dial string with DTMF tones.
To create a DTMF Dialing String:
Dial String codes are used to tell the NavTalk how and when to send DTMF tones to a call’s destination and can allow you access to any ser­vice that employs DTMF tones. To create a dial string for your DTMF application use the follow­ing codes to create appropriate pauses, stops and links in the dial string. Shown below is a chart listing DTMF codes and their function.

EXAMPLES OF CODED DIAL STRINGS:
1. Use a D code before a string of numbers and they will all be sent as DTMF tones.
Example: D3124545
2. Use the P code to create a 5 second pause in a dial string to allow for recorded mes­sages or other delays in the dialing sequence.
Example: 7654567PP234 = the phone number, a 10-second pause for the recorded message and then the extension number.
3. Use the L code to link a phone number from the PhoneBook for insertion into the dial string.
Example: 555-1212L. Bob Andersons extension number can be selected from the PhoneBook during the dial string allowing it to be sent as a DTMF tone.
4. Use the C code to recall your Calling Card PIN from its stored and secured location on the Setup Menu Phone Directory sub-menu.
Example: Enter your access number to your car­rier, wait for tone, enter 0, area code, a 7 digit phone number. wait for tone, enter a C code for your calling card PIN (18778000P09137226578PC).
5. Use the S code to stop dialing and pause until you determine when to continue dialing.
Example: You dial to an automated phone service that provides you with voice prompts that you want to listen to before continuing to dial. (5666789S)
6. Use the T code to transmit your GPS position using DTMF tones.
Example: 19137223344T
7. Use the Q code to query another NavTalk for its GPS position. The units will automatically commu­nicate and transfer the GPS position.
Example: 18164327890Q
8. Use both # and
Example: 19134569000 P *6674566P435#
* for typical DTMF tones in a string.

The Three Stages of Satellite Acquisition
62
Entering Data and Accessing Programming:
Before you begin to explore the capabilities of the GPS receiver, learning how to navigate in the GPS pro­gramming will allow you to take advantage of the fea­tures. It will accelerate your comprehension of how the GPS receiver functions.
There are three keys that allow you to access pages, menus and enter data. These are the PAGE, MENU and ENTER keys. Movement from field to field within a screen display is accomplished using the ARROW Rock­er Pad. Use the arrows to cursor to and highlight a field on the display then press ENTER to either enter data or select from a “pop up” menu. You can use either the phone keypad alpha-numeric keys or the ARROW Rocker Pad to enter data in a field. Use the QUIT key to cancel any entry before it is completed.
6.1 Satellite Status Page
The NavTalk’s Satellite Status Page provides a visual reference of various GPS receiver functions, including current satellite coverage, receiver operating mode, bat­tery level and position accuracy. As the receiver locks onto satellites, a signal strength bar will appear for each satellite in view, with the appropriate satellite number (01-32) underneath each bar. The progress 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 satellite(s) and is collecting data.
 Solid signal strength bars—the receiver has col-
lected the necessary data and the satellite(s) is ready for use.
Once a fix has been calculated, the NavTalk will then update your position, track, and speed by select­ing and using the best satellites in view.
6.1.1 Sky View and Signal Strength Bars
The satellite sky view shows a bird’s-eye view of the position of each available satellite relative to the unit’s last known position. The outer circle represents the horizon (north up); the inner circle 45º above the horizon; and the center point directly overhead.
You can use the sky view to help determine if any
satellites are being blocked, and whether you have a
Page 75
current position fix (indicated by a “2D Navigation’’ or “3D Navigation” in the status field). You can also set the sky view to a ‘Track Up’ configuration, causing the top of the sky view to align along your current track heading.
As soon as the NavTalk has collected the necessary data to calculate a fix, the status field will indicate a 2D or 3D status. (For “2D“, you may need to enter your altitude. See page 65.)
6.1.2 Receiver Status
Receiver status is indicated at the top of the page. The status will be shown as one of the following condi­tions:
Searching - the NavTalk is looking for any avail-
able satellites in view.
AutoLocate - the NavTalk is initializing and col-
lecting new almanac data. This process can take up
to 5 minutes, depending on the satellites currently
in view.
Acquiring - the receiver is collecting data from
available satellites, but has not collected enough
data to calculate a position fix.
2D Navigation - at least three satellites with good
geometry have been locked onto and a 2-dimen-
sional position fix (latitude and longitude) is being
calculated. “2D Diff” will appear when you are
receiving DGPS corrections in 2D mode.
3D Navigation - at least four satellites with good
geometry have been locked onto, and your position
is now being calculated in latitude, longitude and
altitude. “3D Diff” will appear when you are receiv-
ing DGPS corrections in 3D mode.
Poor GPS Coverage - the receiver isn’t tracking
enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fix due to bad
satellite geometry.
Not Usable - the receiver is unusable, possibly due
to incorrect initialization or abnormal satellite con-
ditions. Turn the unit off and back on to reset, and
re-initialize the receiver if necessary.
Simulating Nav - the receiver is in simulator mode.
The status bar displays “Sim” on all main pages.

6.1.3 ‘Need to Select Initialization’ Prompt
If no satellites are received for several minutes (or an insufficient number of satellites are received to deter­mine a position fix) a message will appear, prompting you to initialize the receiver (see section 1). This allows you to specify a starting location from which to search for satellites, or to enable the AutoLocate feature, and is useful if you have traveled over 500 miles with the receiver off (this message will automatically appear when you first use your NavTalk. The prompt may also appear during normal use if the antenna is shaded or the unit is used indoors.)
6.1.4 EPE and DOP
The Satellite Status Page also indicates the accuracy of the position fix, using Estimated Position Error (EPE) and Dilution of Precision (DOP) figures. DOP measures satellite geometry quality (i.e., number of satellites received and where they are relative to each other) on a scale from one to ten. The lowest numbers are the best accuracy and the highest numbers are the worst. EPE uses DOP and other factors to calculate an estimated position error, in feet or meters.
6.1.5 Satellite Status Page Options Menu
Every NavTalk page has a corresponding options menu which allows you to customize that particular page. To display the Satellite Status Page options menu, press MENU from the Satellite Status Page.
The following options are available:
Start Simulator - starts the NavTalk’s built-in sim­ulator (if ‘Start Simulator’ is selected, ‘Stop Simulator’ will appear as an option instead.)
Track Up - changes the sky view display from ‘North Up’ orientation to align to your current direction of travel (track). If ‘Track Up’ is selected, ‘North Up’ will appear as an option instead.
AutoLocate - forces the NavTalk to search for any available satellite(s) to determine its position. This option is useful if you’ve relocated a distance greater than 500 miles from the last location the NavTalk was used.
64
Page 77
To select AutoLocate, highlight ‘AutoLocate’ and
press ENTER.
Initialize Position - designates your approximate position in order to speed up satellite acquisition. This option may be used instead of AutoLocate.
To initialize your starting position:
1. Highlight Initialize Position and press ENTER
2. Designate your approximate position on the map using the arrow keypad and press ENTER. (You may wish to use the zoom keys to adjust the level of detail displayed, as you determine your approximate position.)
Set 2D Altitude - designates your approximate altitude, when the NavTalk is acquiring satellites or navigating in 2D mode. By default, 2D navigation will attempt to use the last known altitude. If the altitude shown is off by several hundred feet or more, manually entering your approximate altitude will enable the receiver to more accurately determine a position fix..
To enter an altitude:
1. Highlight Set 2D Altitude and press ENTER
2. Enter your approximate altitude using the arrow keypad, and press ENTER.
NOTE: Altitude canot be entered while in 3D mode.
6.2 Position Page
The Position Page shows your location, what direc­tion you’re heading, and how fast you’re going, and it’s most useful when you are traveling without an active destination waypoint. The graphic heading display at the top of the page indicates the direction you’re head­ing, or track (only while you’re moving).
Directly below this display are the speed, average speed, trip timer, trip odometer and sunrise/sunset fields (default). The sunrise/sunset times indicated are for your present position. These times, and the current time display at the bottom of the page, can be dis­played in local or UTC (universal) time. The lower left­hand corner of the page shows your current latitude and longitude in degrees and minutes (default).

The NavTalk uses this basic information to mark exact positions as waypoints, which help guide you from one place to another. Average speed, sunrise and sunset times (at your present position) also appear on the Position Page (as default selections). Units of mea­sure and the position readout are selectable from the Main Menu, as outlined on page 98. ‘Trip Computer’ functions—such as average speed, max speed, trip odometer and trip timer—can each be reset from the Main Menu, as described on page 92.
The following options are available:
Average Position - averages position samples over time. Averaging reduces the effects of selective availabili­ty on position error and results in a more accurate posi­tion reading.
To average position samples and save the result as a waypoint:
1. Highlight Average Position and press ENTER. The Average Position Page will appear. Observe the Estimated Accuracy and Measurement Time fields.
2. When the Estimated Accuracy and/or Measurement Count figures reach the desired value(s), highlight Save and press ENTER. (To cancel the averaging function, highlight Discard and press ENTER.)
3. The New Waypoint Page appears with a three-digit number assigned as a name for the new waypoint. To save the way­point with this name, highlight Done and press ENTER.
Change Fields - allows you to choose the type of
data you want displayed in the six data fields.

6.3 Map Page
The NavTalk features a powerful real-time moving map that does more than plotting a course and route. The Map Page also displays background detail, includ­ing geographic names, lakes, rivers, coastlines and highways. An on-screen cursor lets you pan ahead to nearby waypoints, determine the distance and bearing to any map position, and mark new waypoints as you navigate.
The NavTalk also features dedicated zoom keys for instant zooming (see page 9). The map portion of the page displays your present position as a pointer icon, with your track and/or route displayed as small points on the screen (an electronic bread crumb trail, if you will). Nearby waypoints are represented with names and symbols. You may select which features are shown via the Map Page Options (see page 68).
The data window above the map displays the time and distance to next waypoint, plus your current speed (all defaults). A bearing pointer lets you know if you’re heading toward your destination. (If the pointer points straight up, you’re heading directly to it.) Each data field may be configured to display any one of twenty­four data options.
6.3.1 Zooming and Panning
There are three main functions you can perform from the Map Page: zooming, panning, and pointing. The map has 24 map scales (from 120 feet to 500 miles, or 30 meters to 800 km) which are selected by pressing the ZOOM keys. The current map scale is indi­cated in the bottom left corner of the map display.
You can also pan on the map which allows you to move the map with the keypad in order to view areas beyond the current map.
To pan:
1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to move the map in any direc­tion, including diagonally.
As you begin to pan on the map, an arrow appears. The arrow serves as a “target marker” for the map. When the arrow is placed on an object, the name of that object will be highlighted.

If the name wasn’t originally displayed it will appear when the arrow is placed on the object. This feature applies to everything displayed except route lines and track log data.
When a waypoint name is highlighted, you can review information about the waypoint, list waypoint options, or execute a GOTO right from the Map Page.
To select an on-screen waypoint with the
panning arrow:
1. Use the ARROW Rocker Pad to highlight the desired way- point.
2. Press ENTER to review information for the selected way- point.
3. To exit the information page, press QUIT.
To GOTO a highlighted waypoint:
1. With the waypoint highlighted, press #, followed by ENTER.
GOTO can be used anywhere on the map. If a way­point is not highlighted, a new waypoint (called “MAP”) will be created at the arrow location before the GOTO starts.
To cancel the pan function and re-center the
map on your position:
1. Press QUIT.
2. To display the Map Page options menu, press the MENU
key from the Map Display.
6.3.2 Map Page Options Menu
The following Map Page options are available:
Data Fields Off - allows you to select between a full-screen map display or the default map display with data window. If the data fields are off, ‘Data Fields On’ will appear as an option instead.
To turn the data fields on or off, highlight Data Fields Off (or

Page 83
6.4 Compass Page
Whenever a destination waypoint has been select­ed, the NavTalk’s Compass Page will guide you to your destination using a graphic compass display and digital readouts.
Use the Compass Page instead of the Highway Page when travelling at slower speeds, when making frequent directional changes, or where straight line navigation is not possible due to obstructions or terrain.
The rotating ‘compass ring’ shows the direction of your movement and the pointer arrow shows the direc­tion to your destination (track and bearing, respectively).
In actual use, when the arrow points up, you are heading directly to the waypoint. When the arrow points in any other direction, turn toward the arrow until it points up, then continue moving in that direction. You must be moving for the arrow to point in the correct direction.
At the top of page are four user-selectable data fields that display current speed, distance and time to next waypoint, and current time (defaults). Each data field may be configured to display any one of twenty­five data options.
The following options are available:
Big Numbers - allows you to display a smaller compass and two user-selectable, large-character data fields. If ‘Big Numbers’ is selected, ‘Big Compass’ will appear as an option instead.
Change Fields - allows you to choose from 29 types of data you want displayed in the four user-selec­table data fields. See page 112 for descriptions of navi­gation terms.

6.5 Highway Page
In addition to the Compass Page, the NavTalk’s Highway Page also provides graphic steering guidance to your destination, by using a graphic highway display.
At the top of the Highway Page are four user-selec­table data fields that display current speed, distance and time to next waypoint, and an arrow pointer (these are the default data fields, each data field may be config­ured to display any one of twenty-three data option.)
The arrow pointer will always point to the destina­tion waypoint (or the next waypoint if you are using a route to navigate) relative to the direction you are mov­ing (your track). If the bearing pointer points straight ahead, you are heading directly towards your destina­tion. If the bearing pointer points in any other direc­tion, as you travel, turn toward the arrow until it points up—then continue moving in that direction.
The graphic heading compass at the top of the page indicates the direction you are moving (your track). The highway display which is located directly below the heading compass, provides visual guidance to the desti­nation waypoint and keeps you on your intended course line.
Your course is represented by a center line down the middle of the graphic highway. As you head toward your destination, the highway perspective will move to indicate your progress to the waypoint and which direc­tion you should steer to stay on course.
If you are navigating a route, the highway display will show each route waypoint in sequence, with the active leg indicated by the black portion of the highway. Nearby waypoints not in the route will also be dis­played. You can zoom in or out on the highway display for a smaller or larger view (1/4 to 4 miles, with a default setting of 1 mile.)
In addition to the default settings just discussed, options are available through the options menu allow­ing you to customize the highway page display:

The following describes the specific options and
how to select them:
Sign Posts Off - removes the waypoint markers from the highway display (if ‘Sign Posts Off’ is selected, ‘Sign Posts On’ will appear as an option instead.)
To remove (or display) waypoint markers on the highway display:
1. Highlight Sign Posts Off (or Sign Posts On) and press ENTER.
Change Fields - allows you to choose from 28 types of data you want displayed in the four user-selec­table data fields.Data types are described on page 66.
Restore Defaults - resets all of the data field head­ings to their factory default settings.
6.6 Creating Waypoints
The NavTalk stores up to 250 waypoints, including selectable symbols and comments. Waypoints can be created using four methods:
Mark Present Position - your present position can
be captured and saved as a waypoint using the
MARK
key.
On Map - a new waypoint position can be created
directly on the map display using the panning arrow.
Text Entry - waypoints can be created by entering position coordinates manually (from a chart, etc.) or by referencing bearing and distance from a previously stored waypoint (or present position).
Average Position - position samples can be aver­aged over time and the result saved as a waypoint. Averaging reduces the effects of selective availability and improves the accuracy of the position reading. (See page 66 for more information on position averaging.)
6.6.1 Marking Your Present Position
The NavTalk’s MARK feature lets you quickly cap-
ture your present position in order to create a new waypoint. You must be locked onto satellites, with a valid position fix, to successfully mark your present position.
To mark your present position:
1. Press the MARK key. The Mark Waypoint Page is automat- ically displayed.

6.10 Navigation Methods
The NavTalk can navigate to a destination using any
of the following four methods:
GOTO - lets you select a waypoint as your destina­tion and quickly plot a direct course from present position to that waypoint.
MOB (man overboard) - captures your present position, saves it as a waypoint and sets a course back to the position for quick response in an emer­gency.
TracBack - allows you to retrace your path using the track log automatically stored in the receiver’s memory. This eliminates the need to store way­points along the way. (See page 80 for more infor­mation about TracBack.)
Routes - allows you to manually create a sequence of intermediate waypoints which lead you to your final destination. The NavTalk will store up to 20 reversible routes, with up to 30 waypoints in each route.

6.10.2 GOTO Options
GOTO Options are also provided to initiate a TracBack route or cancel the current GOTO destina­tion.
To display the GOTO Options, press MENU (immediately
after pressing
).
#
The following options are available:
TracBack - allows you to retrace your path using the track log automatically stored in the receiver’s memory. This eliminates the need to store waypoints along the way. (See page 80 for more information about TracBack.)
Cancel GOTO - cancels the current GOTO desti­nation and resumes navigation of any previously select­ed route. If no route is currently in use; bearing, dis­tance, etc. will remain blank until a destination way­point is defined.
6.10.3 Man Overboard (MOB)
MOB lets you simultaneously mark and set a course to a position for quick response in an emer­gency. Once an MOB has started, an MOB symbol will appear on the map display and the navigation screens will guide you back to the ‘MOB’ waypoint.

6.10.4 TracBack
TracBack allows you to retrace your path without the need to manually store waypoints along the way. The NavTalk can be set to automatically record track log points any time the receiver is on and locked onto satel­lites (see page 91).
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 along those waypoints.
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 active track log at the beginning of your current trip (e.g., at the dock or trailhead), before you get started.
To clear the active track log and define a start­ing point for a TracBack:
1. Press MENU twice to display the Main Menu.
2. Highlight Track Logs and press ENTER.
3. With the Active Log highlighted press MENU to display the
options list.
4. Highlight Clear Active Log and press ENTER.
5. Press ENTER to delete the track log data. (Or press QUIT
to cancel.)
To create and start a TracBack route:
1. Enable track log recording and leave the NavTalk on to automatically record track log positions while under way. Refer to page 91 for more information on track log settings.
2. Press MENU twice to display the Main Menu.
3. Highlight Track Logs and press ENTER.
4. Highlight the desired track log (Active Log or Saved Logs) and press MENU to display the options list.
5. Highlight TracBack and press ENTER to create/activate
the TracBack route. (A message box will appear while the NavTalk analyzes the data and creates the route.)
Once a TracBack has been started, the NavTalk will take one of the track logs currently stored in memory and divide it into route segments, called ‘legs’. Up to 30 track log waypoints (labeled ‘T###’, e.g. ‘T001’) will be created to mark the most significant features of the track log in order to duplicate your path as closely as possible.
Page 93
To gain the most benefit from the TracBack feature,
keep the following tips in mind:
• Always clear the track log at the point you want to return to (boat ramp, dock, trailhead, etc.)
• The ‘Record Mode’ on the Track Logs Page must be set to ‘Wrap’ or ‘Fill’.
• There must be at least two track log points stored in memory to create a TracBack route.
• 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. The receiver will use the available way points to create a route with an emphasis on the track log data closest to the destination.
Also, existing TracBack waypoints that are not con­tained in routes will be erased to free more memory. The NavTalk will create new waypoints using the first available three-digit number.
• If the Track Logs Page ‘Interval’ field is set to ‘Time’, the route may not follow your exact path. (Keep the ‘Interval’ field set to ‘Resolution’ for best results.)
• If the receiver is turned off or satellite coverage is lost during your trip, TracBack will draw a straight line between any point where coverage was lost and where it resumed.
• If there are frequent changes in direction and dis­tance in your track log, 30 waypoints may not accurately depict your exact path. The receiver will then assign the 30 waypoints to the most significant points of your track log, and simplify segments with fewer changes in direction.
