How GPS and Cartography Work

Your 700 Series™ Chartplotter supports GPS and chartplotting. It uses GPS to determine your position and display it on a grid. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 4.5 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 4.5 meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in your area.

GPS uses a constellation of over 24 satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. Your present position isdetermined by receiving signals from up to 16 satellites and measuring the distance from the satellites.

All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded signal once per secondat exactly the same time. The GPS receiver on your boat receives signals from

satellites that are visible to it. Based on time differences between each received signal, the GPS receiver determines its distanceto each satellite. Withdistances known, the GPS receivermathematically triangulates its own position. With once per second updates, the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing.

How GPS and Cartography Work

Page 11

The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the 700 Series™ Chartplotter when it is connected to the included GPS receiver:

• View current position

• View current track (breadcrumb trail)

• View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver

• Save tracks, waypoints, and routes

• Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next.

Your 700 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™ and HotMaps™ Premium on MMC or SD card media. You can insert optional-purchase cards in the (MMC)/SD slot on your control head to access additional detailed maps. See Using Your 700 Series Control Head: MMC/SD Card for more information.

NOTE: Your 700 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™, and HotMaps™ Premium. Your 700 Series™ does not support Navionics® Classic Charts or Platinum™ Cartography.

Your unit also comes with a built-in UniMap™ with a more detailed map of North America (Domestic models) or a more detailed map of Europe and Southeast Asia, including Australia and New Zealand (International models).

Your 700 Series™ uses the GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat automatically and uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select the best chart to display. See Viewing Cartography for more information.

Bird’s Eye Views

Bird's Eye Views - The Standard Bird's Eye, Bird's Eye Big Digits, and Bird's Eye No Readouts Views show a 3-D, perspective view of the track and the chart’s land contour from a point above and behind the boat (the eye point). As the boat turns, the eye point moves to follow the boat.

When you press the 4-WAY Cursor key in the Bird’s Eye View, the position of the eye point will shift. This allows you to move and turn the eye point so that you can look off to the sides, or even behind the boat. Pressing the RIGHT or LEFT arrow keys on the 4-WAY Cursor key turns the eye point right or left, while pressing the UP arrow key moves the eye point forward, and pressing the DOWN arrow key moves the eye point backward.

Pressing the EXIT key moves the eye point back to its original position behind and above the boat.

NOTE: Standard Bird's Eye View and Chart View share the same set of nine readouts, seven of which are adjustable. When you change the readouts displayed on the Bird's Eye View, the readouts are also changed on the Chart View.

All the Chart Views allow you to choose the orientation of the view. When North-Up orientation is selected, True North is shown at the top of the display.

In other words, objects located to the north of the boat are drawn above the boat. When Course-Up orientation is selected, the direction of motion of the boat is shown at the top of the display. In other words, objects ahead of the boat are drawn above the boat. In both orientations, the view pans automatically, so that the boat is always centered on the display.

When the boat is stationary, it is drawn as a circle. When the boat is in motion, it takes on a boat shape, pointed in the direction of motion (always Up in the Course-Up orientation).

Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation and are used in trip planning. You can link individual waypoints together by using the GOTO key. A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest path from each waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying on the route line is the most efficient way to get to your destination, although you should always look out for obstacles not shown on the chart. Your 700 Series™ Chartplotter can store up to 50 routes that can each contain up to 50 waypoints.

Tracks consist of detailed position history and are displayed as a breadcrumb trail of trackpoints. The Current Track shows the position history since the unit was powered up (maximum of 20,000 trackpoints displayed). You can clear the Current Track or save it at any time. Your 700 Series™ Chartplotter can store up to 50 saved tracks, each containing 20,000 trackpoints. The current track represents your actual path so far.

GPS Diagnostic View shows a sky chart and numerical data from the GPS receiver. The sky chart shows the location of each visible GPS satellite with its satellite number and a signal strength bar. A dark gray bar indicates that the satellite is being used to determine your current position. A light orange bar indicates that the satellite is being monitored, but is not yet being used.

This view also reports the current position, local time and date, and other numeric information. The current GPS Fix Type is reported as No Fix, 2D Fix, 3D Fix, or Enhanced. An Enhanced fix has been augmented using information from WAAS, EGNOS, or MSAS. A 3D or Enhanced Fix is required for navigation. HDOP (the Horizontal Dilution of Precision) is a GPS system parameter which depends on the current satellite configuration. HDOP is used to calculate the Estimated Position Error.
