INTRODUCTION

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.

INTRODUCTION

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.

INTRODUCTION

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.

INTRODUCTION

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.

INTRODUCTION

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.

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.

4

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

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.

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.

2. To decrease the screen contrast, press the LEFT arrow of
the ARROW Rocker Pad. Press the PAGE key to finish.

Contrast adjustment is also available from the

Setup Menu/System Page.

2.6 To Adjust Volume

The Zoom/Volume keys can be used to adjust the
ringer, beeper, and speaker volume on any page (other
than the GPS map and highway pages). Pressing these
keys will cause a pop-up menu to appear, showing slid­ing indicators for each volume control. Each field must
be selected prior to changing volume settings.

To adjust the volume:

1. Press a ZOOM/VOLUME key. When the pop-up menu first
appears the appropriate field is in edit mode: beeper (no
call), ringer (when phone is ringing), and speaker (during a
call).

2. Using the RIGHT or LEFT keys on the ARROW Rocker

Pad, move the indicator to the left for less volume and to
the right for more volume.

3. To highlight a different field, use the ARROW Rocker Pad

UP/DOWN keys. Use RIGHT/LEFT keys to move the indi-
cator. Press QUIT to end or allow to time-out.

2.7 To Adjust Backlighting

The NavTalk’s three-level backlighting is controlled
with the PWR key, and may be adjusted at any time,
from any page.

To turn the backlighting on:

1. Press PWR repeatedly until the backlighting is at the
desired level (off, 1, 2, or 3). Extended press of the PWR key will
shut the unit off.

2.8 Understanding the Status Bar

An important feature of the NavTalk is the com­bined GPS/Cellular Status Bar that appears at the bot­tom of every main GPS and Cellular Page. The Status
Bar is important because it lets you know at a glance
the status of all the primary functions of your NavTalk.

The Status Bar appears in two sizes: large and regu­lar. The large size Status Bar is displayed only at the
bottom of the Cellular Status Page and is divided into
two lines (see figure below).

• 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.

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.

2.10 Cell Phone Pages

All of NavTalk’s cell phone menus and options are
accessible through the four main cell phone pages. 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.

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.

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

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

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.

Messages

The NavTalk uses on-screen messages to alert you to

important information. Whenever a message appears,
press ENTER to acknowledge the message and return to
the previous page you were viewing. On the main pages
you will be notified of incoming calls and you must
press SEND to acknowledge this message and answer
the call. Refer to Appendix D on pages 106-107 for a
complete listing of these messages.

SECTION 4

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.

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-

Check for the correct approximate position on
the Map Page (see page 33), or reselect your approxi­mate location to restart the initialization.

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.

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.

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.

“Mark Wyapoint” Page

NOTE: Map redraw must be completed before a new
waypoint can be created.

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

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.

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.

Call Blocking - When you enable this feature
you can choose to exclude calls from these
sources: All Incoming, All Outgoing, Less than
11 Digits, 1 Prefix and 011 Prefix.

About Passwords:

The Navtalk employs two types of passwords
(actually number codes that can be created using
the Phone Keypad to spell words) to secure use
of the NavTalk and its stored data. It can be pro­grammed so that a Lock Password can be used
to Lock or Unlock the Phone.

Stored Setup data and the Lock Password are
protected by a Security Password. It secures
Calling Card PIN, Auto Lock, Call Blocking, NAM
Selection, Emergency Number, Remote Command
and Scanning features. The Security Password can
also be used to Lock or Unlock the phone.

NavTalk features that can be security protect­ed are accompanied by a padlock icon. The icon
is closed by default and on each power cycle and
can be opened by highlighting and entering the
Security Password.

5.9 Setting Sound Functions for your
NavTalk Cell Phone Features

By cursoring through the Sound Page you can
set the following sound features:
Microphone to Open or Mute during a call, Call
Ring to Ring A, Ring B, Ring C, Ring D, Ring E, or
Off, and Beeps to sound for Message and Key or
only Message, or Key only, or Off for no Beeps.

“Pop-Up” menus appear for

each of the Sound Page fields.

The ‘External Mic Gain’
feataure is used with the

Vehicular Adapter Kit

52

NOTE: When Call Ring is Off, a message with
beeps indicates an incoming call. For total silence the
‘Beeps” must also be set to Off. The microphone set­ting cannot be changed unless there is a call in
progress.The microphone can be muted during a call

higlighting that field and use the ROCKER key­pad Left/Right keys to raise or lower the gain as
required.

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.

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

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

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

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.

The types are:

•Altitude •Speed

•Average (Avg) Speed •Sunrise (@ prsnt. pos.)

•Battery (Bat) Timer •Sunset (@ prsnt. pos.)

•Call Tmer •System ID

•DOP •Track

•EPE •Trip Odometer

•Last Call Time •Trip Timer

•Max Speed •User Timer

•Odometer •Voltage

See page 112 for descriptions of Navigation terms.

Restore Defaults - resets all data field headings to

their factory default settings.

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.

1. Highlight Measure Dist and press ENTER. An on-screen
pointer appears on the map display at your present position.

2. Move the cursor to the desired reference point (the point
you want to measure from) and press ENTER.

3. Move the cursor to the point you want to measure to. The
bearing and distance from the reference point will be dis­played at the top of the page.

Restore Defaults - resets all data field headings to

their factory default settings.

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.

Restore Defaults - resets all data field headings to
their factory default settings.

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:

72

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.

To start MOB:

1. Press and hold #to capture the MOB position.

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.

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.

will show each waypoint (by name) of the active route,
along with the desired course, distance to waypoint,
time to each waypoint, fuel requirements or
sunrise/sunset times at each route waypoint.

As you navigate the route, the information on the
Active Route Page will automatically update to indicate
the destination waypoint and any remaining interim
waypoints—with the next point along the route denot­ed by an arrow on the left-hand side of the screen.

From the Active Route Page you can change the
name of the active route, review information on a route
waypoint or bypass route waypoints and GOTO any
waypoint in the route (see page 82) .

The user-selectable data field on the right side of the
page also keeps you informed of current conditions.
There are ten different data items available. Use the
LEFT/RIGHT ARROW keys for data type descriptions.

The following options are available:

Show Map - allows you to view the area around
the active route. When selected, ‘Show Map’ will show
the map display centered around the first waypoint in
the active route.

Setup Plan - displays a trip planning screen, allow­ing you to plan and review distance, fuel, time en route
and sunrise/sunset information for the selected route.

To use the trip planning features:

1. Highlight Setup Plan and press ENTER. The trip planning
screen is displayed, showing speed, fuel flow, departure
time and departure date information.

2. Enter an hourly fuel flow (if desired) in the fuel field, using
the same steps above. Fuel flow rate units (gallons, liters,
etc.) are not specified on the NavTalk. Enter these figures
based upon available information for your vehicle and make
note of the desired units.

3. Press QUIT to return to the Route Plan Page, then use the
LEFT/RIGHT keys on the ARROW Rocker Pad to review

the planning information.

the active leg. The active leg defines the current ‘from’
and ‘to’ waypoints.

Deactivate - cancels navigation of the route you are
currently using.

Invert - reactivates the current route in reverse
order and navigates from the end waypoint back to the
beginning waypoint. See page 84.

Insert Wpt - allows you to insert an additional
waypoint into the route, directly in front of the current­ly highlighted waypoint in the route. If no route way­point is highlighted, this option is not available.
