How GPS and Cartography Work

Your 700 Series™ Chartplotter supports GPS and chartplotting, and 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 +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 10 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 24 satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. Your present position is determined by receiving signals from up to 16 satellites and measuring the distance from the satellites.

All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded signal once per second at 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 distance to each satellite. With distances known, the GPS receiver mathematically triangulates its own position. With once per second updates, the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing.

Page 10

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.

NOTE: Your 700 Series™ does not support Navionics® Classic Charts, only Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™, and HotMaps™ Premium.

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.

Page 11

Multi-Media Card (MMC)/SD Slot

Your 700 Series™ Chartplotter also has a multimedia card (MMC)/SD slot that is used to insert optional-purchase cards containing additional detailed maps. If you insert an MMC/SD that contains a more detailed chart for a particular location, your 700 Series™ Chartplotter will

retrieve that chart and display it automatically. Use the illustration to locate the position of the MMC/SD slot cover, remove the MMC/SD slot cover, then insert the MMC/SD into the slot. The label on the MMC/SD should face toward the right side of the unit. Press down on the card until it clicks into place, then replace the slot cover, making certain that the gasket is present and positioned correctly before re-installing the cover, then replace and tighten snugly - do NOT overtighten, as this will not improve water resistance, and may damage the cover.

Software Updates

Use the MMC/SD slot to update the software version of your control head. To update the software in your control head, plug in the appropriate MMC/SD card that contains a software update file; the unit will recognize it, will tell you what software version your control head is currently running, and will ask you if you want to update the software in the unit to match that on the MMC/SD card. You can obtain software updates from the www.humminbird.com website.

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 9 readouts, 7 of which are adjustable. When you change the readouts display on the Bird's Eye View, you also are changing them on the Chart View.

Instrument View

Instrument View allows you to display a digital instrument panel with 8 selectable readouts. This view provides a digital compass at the top of the view, as well as 8 selectable readouts, and a Cross Track Error (XTE) graphic at the bottom of the view. The XTE graphic shows the boat's position in relation to the Off Course Alarm limits, as well as the optimal route (shown as the dotted line in the middle). You should try to keep the boat as close to the dotted line as possible for best results. If your course exceeds the Off Course Alarm limits, an alarm will sound, and the boat icon will change position and will turn from black to red to indicate the alarm state.

A border around the full-size screen snapshot indicates that it is just a screen snapshot, not a “live” view. You can delete the selected image, or all images, by selecting a thumbnail and using Delete Image, or using Delete All Images from the Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu.

orking with screen snapshots is a f

our-step process:

1. Enabling Screen Snapshot from the Accessories Menu.

2. Making a Screen Snapshot using the MARK key.

3. Viewing a Screen Snapshot using the Screen Snapshot View.

4. Deleting a Screen Snapshot using the Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu.

For more information, see Accessories Menu Tab: Using Screen Snapshot and

Screen Snapshot X-Press™ Menu.

When you start a screen snapshot, you will see a message that a waypoint has been created at the point where your cursor is on the screen, and the screen will freeze while the snapshot is being saved to the MMC/SD card. A status dialog box will appear that shows the progress of the save as a percentage, and that displays the numbered file name assigned to the .BMP file that is being created. Snapshot filenames begin with the letter "S". For more information, see the Accessories Menu Tab: Using Screen Snapshot procedure and Screen

Snapshot X-Press™ Menu.

View Orientation

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).

Page 25

Viewing Cartography

In the Chart Views, there are several cartography-related functions that you can access using various keys.

Panning: Use the 4-WAY Cursor keys to move the chart around on the display in the direction of the key being pressed. When you do this, a bull's eye cursor is drawn at the center of the screen and is linked to the boat by a gray line, even if the boat is off the screen. At the same time, the distance and bearing from the boat to the cursor position and the latitude/longitude coordinates of the cursor are displayed in the upper info boxes.

Zooming: Use the Plus (+) key to Zoom In and the Minus (-) key to Zoom Out showing the cartography at different scales. The

scale is indicated on the left side of the display. If you zoom in beyond the available chart data, the display will go into Overzoom mode whereby the last available chart data is amplified to reflect the scale selected. If you zoom in so far that no cartography is available, a lat/lon grid will be drawn instead.

Chart Info: Use the INFO key to get detailed information about the chart through the Chart Info submenu. If the cursor is active, you will see information about the chart objects located near the cursor. If the cursor is not active, the Chart Info menu will appear. You can select the nearest port, the nearest tide station, or the nearest current station to see information about any of these objects using the 4-WAY Cursor Control key.

NOTE: The built-in UniMap™ does not contain any Port, Tide or Current information. This information is only available from optional-purchase MMC/SD cards.

Introduction to Navigation

Use your Chartplotter to establish waypoints at areas of interest and to navigate to those waypoints via a savable route (representing the shortest intended distance between waypoints). You can also view and save tracks, which represent the actual path of the boat.

Page 28

Waypoints, Routes and Tracks

Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or navigation points. Your Chartplotter can store up to 3000 waypoints.

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.

Man Overboard (MOB) Navigation

As soon as you know that you have a man overboard, you should activate MOB navigation to maximize chances for a successful rescue. MOB navigation allows you create an MOB waypoint to locate the point at which your man went overboard, and the relation of the boat to that point. When MOB is activated, an MOB waypoint, which is a permanent, sharable waypoint with a large, distinctive icon, is created at the boat's current position (regardless of whether the chart cursor is active or not). Any current navigation will be cancelled and the current route discarded without user notification, and MOB navigation will begin immediately. A line will be drawn from the boat's current position to the MOB waypoint, and the MOB waypoint will be targeted. The view is switched to the Chart View automatically when MOB is activated, and an additional info box that shows the lat/lon position of the MOB waypoint and the elapsed time since MOB was activated is added to the Chart View. This information will automatically be added to the Bird's Eye and Instrument Views as well.

It is not possible to re-activate MOB or modify the current route without first canceling MOB navigation. The Off Course trigger is also disabled and the Off Course Alarm circle is not drawn. Any press of the GOTO key, or selection of a GOTO menu item, will cause an error beep and a short message will be displayed to the user that will disappear after 2 seconds.

Activate MOB navigation: Press and hold the GOTO key for more than 1.5 seconds to activate the Man Overboard (MOB) function.

Cancel MOB navigation: From the Navigation X-Press™ menu, select Cancel MOB and press the RIGHT Cursor key. Canceling MOB navigation removes the route and any waypoints created using the GOTO key, but does not remove any saved routes from memory, nor does it remove the MOB waypoint. To delete the MOB waypoint after you have cancelled MOB navigation, use the Navigation X-Press™ menu to select the MOB Waypoint, then press the RIGHT Cursor key to view the MOB Waypoint submenu, then use the 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to delete the MOB Waypoint.

NOTE: The actual MOB waypoint will remain in the Navigation X-Press™ menu until you delete it manually. To delete the MOB waypoint after you have cancelled MOB navigation, select it from the Navigation X-Press™ menu using the RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control key, then select Delete from the MOB Waypoint submenu. A confirmation dialog box will appear, allowing you to confirm the deletion or to cancel it.
