Congratulations!
You have purchased one of the finest 12-channel GPS receivers Lowrance® has ever made. With its large LCD screen, easy to use menus,
and outstanding performance, we think you’ll be happy with y our GlobalNav
310™ for many years.
GPS works from satellites that transmit information to the world at very
high frequencies. One disadvantage to this frequency is that it’s “line-ofsight”. In other words, the signals don’t bounce around like your local
radio or television. If you don’t have a clear view of the sky, or if you’re
inside a metal boat dock or garag e, the unit probably won’t be able to pick
up the signals from the satellites. This is common among all GPS receivers.
Like most GPS receivers, your GlobalNav 310 doesn’t have a compass
or any other navigation aid built into it. It relies solely on the signals from
the satellites to determine its position. Speed, direction of travel, and
distance are all calculated from position information. Therefore, in order
for it to determine the direction you’ re travelling, you m ust be moving, and
the faster - the better. This is not to say the unit won’t work at walking
speeds - it will. But the faster you travel, the easier it is for the unit to
determine your direction.
Another factor that influences the GPS’ position and navigation capabilities is called selective availability or S/A. This is small errors purposefully
injected into the transmitted signal from the satellites. The government
does this to degrade the system’ s accuracy to civilian and foreign users.
Even with S/A, GPS is the most accurate navigation system e v er invented
on such a large scale. The Government’s accuracy specification is 100
meters horizontally and 150 meters vertically 95% of the time. In other
words, the position shown on your GlobalNav 310 could be up to 100
meters in any direction from your actual position, and the altitude could
be plus or minus 150 meters from what’s shown on the screen, 95% of
the time.
There are two ways around the S/A problem. One is to have the government simply turn it off. In fact, there is growing pressure on them to do
that, but it’s not likely to happen anytime soon. The other method is to
purchase a DGPS receiver and connect it to your GlobalNa v 310. A DGPS
receiver (commonly called a beacon receiver), picks up correction signals broadcast from ground stations. The GlobalNav 310 takes these
corrections and applies them to the position and altitude screens, giving
you much better accuracy.
1
Page 6
Even with S/A on, and without a DGPS receiver, your GlobalNav 310
gives you outstanding position and navigation information.
Please sit down with the unit and this manual and familiari ze yourself with
them before using the GlobalNav 310 in the “real world”. A simulator is
built in, which lets you practice.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION - Bracket
You can install the GlobalNav 310 on the top of a dash or from an overhead
with the supplied bracket. It can also be installed in the dash with an
optional IDA-3 mounting kit. A swivel bracket is included that converts the
GlobaNav 310's gimbal bracket to a swivel mount. You can mount it in any
convenient location, provided there is clearance when it’s tilted for the best
viewing angle.
Bracket Installation - No Swivel
Holes in the bracket’s base allow wood screw or through bolt mounting.
It may be necessary to place a piece of plywood on the back side of thin
panels to reinforce the panel. Make certain there is enough room behind
the unit to attach the power and antenna cables.
Drill a hole in the dash for the power and antenna cables. The best location
for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket. This way, the bracket
covers the hole. The smallest hole the power and antenna cable connector
can pass through is 3/4". Route the cables to the unit by passing them
through the hole from under the dash. Slide the bracket over the hole, then
route the cables out the slot in the back of the bracket. Finally, fasten the
bracket to the dash.
Bracket Installation - With Swivel
1. Place the swivel bracket on the dash or console in the desired mounting
location. Make certain there is enough room for the unit to rotate. Using
the swivel bracket’s base as a template, mark the four mounting holes
for drilling. Remove the bracket and drill the holes in the mounting
surface for the #10 mounting screws.
2. Install the large locknut into the bottom of the swivel bracket. Place the
swivel bracket onto the mounting surface and attach it using the four
supplied #10 screws.
3. Pass the large screw through the gimbal bracket and the swivel
bracket. Thread it into the large locknut and tighten it. Don't tighten it
too tight, or the gimbal bracket won't swivel.

Attach the GlobalNav 310 to the gimbal bracket using the supplied gimbal
knobs and washers as shown below.

POWER
The GlobalNav 310 will operate from a 12-volt DC system. (9 to 15 volts
DC.) You can connect the power cable to an accessory buss under the
dash, however, to keep electrical noise interference to a minimum, we
recommend you wire the power cable directly to the battery through the
supplied 2-amp fuse.
CAUTION!
Do not connect this product to a power source without using a fuse!
Failure to use the fuse can cause damage to y our unit and will void the
warranty.
Follow the wiring diagram below. If the wires on the power cable are not
long enough to reach the battery, use 18 gauge wire to lengthen the
power cable.
The power cable’s green wire is used to receive data from a DGPS receiver. The white wire is used to transmit data to a DGPS receiver or
other electronic equipment. If you are not connecting the GlobalNav 310
to another device, tape the ends of these wires and secure them where
they will not short to one another. See the NMEA/DGPS section in this
manual for more information.
(Note: If your power cable has six wires , tape and secure the e x tra wires ,
also. They are not used on this product.)

ANTENNA
The GlobalNav 310’s antenna can be mounted on any flat surface, provided you have access behind the surface for the mounting screws. A
magnet is also supplied that can be epoxied to the bottom of the antenna, allowing it to be used on off-road vehicles. A pole mount adapter
lets you mount the antenna on a pole or swivel mount.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Surface Mount
The antenna can be easily installed on any flat surface that is at least 90
mm (3 1/2”) wide. Mak e certain that a clear view of the sky is av ailable at
the selected location. Since the GPS signals travel “line-of-sight”, nearly
anything blocking the antenna can potentially obstruct the unit from finding a satellite.
Once you’ve determined the mounting location, use the template on page
51 in this manual to drill the holes for the screws. The screws, supplied
with the GlobalNav 310, are 4mm x 30mm. (about 1 1/8” long). Drill 4.75
mm (3/16”) holes for the mounting screws. If you route the cable through
the mounting surface, you’ll need to drill a 25 mm (1”) hole for the cable.
There is a notch in the antenna housing that allows the cable to pass
through to the outside, instead of routing it through the mounting surface .
5
Page 10
After drilling the holes, pass the o-ring over the antenna cable and press
it into the groove on the bottom of the antenna housing. Now attach the
antenna to the mounting surface, using 4mm screws and the supplied
lock washers. Route the cable to the GlobalNav 310 and the antenna
installation is finished.
Magnet Mount
A magnet lets you temporarily mount the antenna on any ferrous metal
surface. (such as a car) To use the magnet, simply epoxy it to the bottom
of the antenna, using the epoxy supplied with your GlobalNa v 310. Carefully follow the instructions on the epoxy package and apply it to the
magnet. Then carefully press the magnet to the bottom of the antenna
housing. After the epoxy cures (in about 30 minutes), the antenna is
ready for use.
MAGNET
Pole Mount
The antenna attaches to the pole mount
adapter with the supplied 4 mm screws. You
can route the antenna cable through the
slot in the side of the antenna, or pass it
down through the pole mount adapter. A
slot next to the threads in the pole mount
adapter places the cable next to the pole
where it can be easily routed down the pole
to the GlobalNav 310. The threads on the
pole mount adapter accept a standard
marine antenna mount.

OPERATION
Turning Power On
To tur n the GlobalNav 310 on, simply
press the PWR key. A screen similar to
the one at right appears. Read the message on the screen, then press the EXIT
key to erase it. The GlobalNav 310 is now
ready for use.
MENUS
Most of the Lowrance View’s adjustments and features are found on
“menus”. Pressing the MENU k ey lets you vie w the menus . Different menus
items are added to the basic list, depending on which mode (plotter, navigation,
or windows) the unit is in. This giv es y ou
the features that are specific to the mode
you are in, but also has items that are
used on all modes.
Using the arrow keys moves the black
box to highlight different menus on the
list. Pressing the right arrow key selects
the menu.
To erase a menu, press the EXIT key.
Finding Y our Position
Cold Start
When the GlobalNav 310 is turned on for the very first time, it doesn’t
know where it is, nor what the local time or date is. If you tell it your
position, time, and date, the unit will tak e much less time to lock-on to the
satellites and give you a fix or position.
However, if you don’t want to push buttons at this time, that’s fine. The
GlobalNav 310 will lock onto the satellites and giv e you a position without
any input from you. This is called a “cold-star t ” . It simply means that the
unit is searching without help for the satellites that are in orbit. A coldstart can take up to 2 minutes to acquire enough satellite data to determine your position, although it typically takes less time than that.
8
Page 13
Once it locks on to the satellites and finds your position, it stores the
satellite data in its memory. The ne xt time you use the unit, it should take
much less time to lock on.
To use your GlobalNav 310, first make certain you have a clear view of
the sky, free from any obstructions such as trees, carport, or a covered
boat dock.
Press the PWR key. Read the message
on the screen, then press the EXIT key
to erase the message. A screen similar
to the one at right appears.
This is windows group “A”. Your track
(TRK), or direction of travel is shown in
the upper right corner of this screen.
Bearing to a waypoint (BRG), Course
over ground (CRS), and cross track error (XTK) are all shown on this screen. You must recall a waypoint to use
the bearing, course, and cross track error windows. As you wait for it to
find your position, you’ll see numbers flashing on the display. Anytime
you see flashing numbers, it means the GlobalNav 310 does not have a
position! Do not rely on any data that is flashing! When the numbers stop
flashing, the unit has locked on to the satellites and the position is good.
That’s all y ou hav e to do to find y our position. All time displays ma y not be
correct when the cold start method is used. See the initialization section
for details on changing the time.
Finding Y our Position
Initialization
A cold-start as described above can take over 5 minutes to find your
position. A faster method is to initialize the GlobalNav 310 manually. To
do this, first press the PWR key. Next,
read the messages on the screen and
press the EXIT key to erase them. Now
press the MENU key.
Press the up or down arrow keys until
the “GPS SETUP” menu is highlighted
as shown at right. Now press the right
arrow key. The screen shown at the top
of the next page appears.
9
Page 14
Using the down arrow key, highlight the
“Initialize GPS Receiver” menu, then
press the right arrow key. The screen
shown below appears.
This is the GPS initialization screen. The
position, altitude, time, and date the
GlobalNav 310 is currently using to find
the satellites is shown at the bottom of
this screen. Changing these values to
your local position and time will speed
the position lock.
To change the position, press the right
arrow key while the “EDIT LA T/LON” box
is highlighted. The screen sho wn at right
appears.
If your latitude is south, press the up or
down arrow key to change it. If it is north,
press the right arrow key to move the
change box to the first number in the latitude. Now press the up arrow
key to increase the number or the down arrow key to decrease it. Once
the first number in the latitude is set,
press the right arrow key once to move
to the next number in the latitude.
Keep pressing the arrow keys until the
latitude and longitude are set to your local position. (Note: This position does not
have to be very accurate. If you can get
it within one degree of your actual position, that will be fine.) When it’s set, press
the ENT ke y . The GlobalNa v 310 accepts
your entry and returns to the GPS setup menu.
10
Page 15
Now change the local time and date if
they’re incorrect on this screen. (Don’t
worry about altitude.) When everything
is acceptable, press the EXIT ke y repeatedly to return to a mode screen. The
GlobalNav 310 will instantly use the data
you entered to find the satellites in the
sky . (The unit knows which satellites will
be available at the position, date, and
time you entered. Therefore, it will only
look for those satellites, making the search time much shorter than a
cold start which looks for all of the satellites until it finds three.)
Once the GlobalNav 310 finds and locks on to three satellites, it stops
flashing the numbers on the display . (Note: Altitude will still flash until the
unit locks on to the fourth satellite. It takes four satellites to determine
altitude.)
IMPORTANT!
If the data shown in digital numbers on any screen is flashing, it
means that data is inv alid. DO NOT RELY ON ANY NUMBERS THAT
ARE FLASHING! Usually, this happens when the GlobalNav 310
has lost its lock on the satellites. The data that is flashing was the
last known when the unit lost its navigational capability.
DO NOT NAVIGATE WITH THIS UNIT UNTIL THE DATA STOPS
FLASHING!
POSITION/NAVIGATION DISPLAYS
The GlobalNav 310 has navigation, plotter, and windows group modes.
These screens were designed to show
data that is used most often.
The three default displa ys are sho wn on
the next page. To change displays, simply press the MODE key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. No w press
the up or down arrow keys to change
modes. (The windows display is shown
11
Page 16
NAV-1 PLOT-1
GROUP A
as "GRP" (groups). For example, Group A is the first windows group on
the MODE menu.) Press the right arrow key to see more screens on
each mode. When the desired screen appears, press the EXIT key to
clear the menu.
Note: F or a list of ab bre viations used on the displa ys, see the bac k of this
manual.
Navigation Screens
There are two na vigation screens. Na v screen number one shows a g raphical view of your trip , the other screen sho ws all na vigation details in large
digital numbers. You can customize the navigation screens to show different data than the ones chosen by Lowrance. See the “Customize Screen”
section for more details.
Nav Screen #1
This screen is dominated by a compass rose (See the screen at the top
of the next page.) Your position is in the center of the circle, designated
by an arrow that always points straight up. Your track (direction of travel)
is indicated by an arrow pointing down toward the compass rose at the
top center of the screen. Your track in digital numbers is also sho wn to the
right of the arrow. On the screen at the top of the next page, the track is
12
Page 17
348°. The line extending behind the arrow in the center shows your track history, or path you’ve travelled.
Your speed over ground or Ground
Speed (GS) shows in the digital box to
the right of the circle.
The screen looks like this when you’re
not navigating to a waypoint. (See page
35 for information on waypoint navigation.) If you navigate to a waypoint, the
screen looks like the one below.
The bearing to the destination waypoint
is shown in the upper left corner of the
screen. Bearing is also shown by the
large arrow pointing up to the compass.
The lines on either side of the present
position arrow show the cross track error range. In other words, (using the
screen above as an example) if the arrow crosses the line on either side, you
are .10 miles to the left or right of the
desired course.
A circle depicting your destination appears on the screen as you approach the
waypoint.
The digital boxes on the screen’s right
side show (from top to bottom) your distance to go to the destination (DIS), ground speed (GS), estimated time
en route (ETE), and course (CRS).
Course (CRS) is the bearing from your starting location to your destination. (Remember, course has nothing to do with your present position,
except for your starting location.) It’s shown as a dotted line on the NAV
1 display. This is shown as a reminder so that if you deviate from your
original course, you can easily return to it. (A “course” is a proposed path
over the ground. A “track” is your actual path over ground.)
13
Page 18
Nav Screen #2
The navigation screen shows na vigation
information in large digital numbers. To
view this screen, press the MODE key,
then press the up arrow key until the
black box surrounds the “NAV 1” label.
Now press the right arrow ke y. A screen
similar to the one at right appears. Press
the EXIT key to erase the mode menu.
This screen is composed of eight digital display boxes, showing your
track (TRK), and ground speed (GS). The other boxes show navigation
data when a wa ypoint is recalled, including bearing to the waypoint (BRG),
course (CRS), Altitude (ALT), distance to waypoint (DIS), velocity made
good (VMG), and cross track error (XTK).
Plotter
The plotter lets you see your course and track from a “birds-eye” view. If
you’v e recalled a wa ypoint, the plotter show your staring location, present
position, and destination. Howe v er , you don’t have to recall a waypoint to
use the plotter.
To use the plotter, simply press the
MODE key, then press the up or down
arrow keys until the “Plot” label is
higlighted. Press the EXIT key to erase
the mode menu. A screen similar to the
one at right appears. This is plot-1. The
diamond flashing in the center of the
screen is your present position. The solid
line extending from the diamond is your
track, or path you’ve travelled. The
plotter’s range is shown in the lower left corner of the screen. In this
example, the plotter’s range is two miles from the left edge of the screen
to the right.
There are two different plotter screens
available. Map screen number 1 shows
by default. Your current position displays
at the center of the screen by a cross
surrounded by a flashing diamond.
To view the other plotter screen, press
the MODE key. Press the up or down ar-
14
Page 19
row key to move the black box to the "PLOT" label. Now press the r ight
arrow or left arrow key to select plot 2. This screen (as shown at the
bottom of the previous page) has navigation data displayed on the right
side of the screen in digital numbers. This data is active whenever y ou’v e
recalled a waypoint. Press the EXIT key to erase the mode menu.
This screen shows ground speed (GS), track (TRK), course (CRS), and
cross track error (XTK).
Use the Z-IN and Z-OUT keys to enlarge or reduce the plotter area. This
changes the plotter’s r ange. The available ranges are: 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3,
0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100,150,
200, 300, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, and 4000 miles.
Cursor
Pressing an arrow key while the plotter
is on shows two dotted lines that intersect at your present position. These dotted lines are called a “cursor” and have
a variety of uses.
You can move the cursor around the display by pressing the arrow keys in the
direction you want it to move. This lets
you view different areas of the plotter,
away from your present position. When
it’s tur ned on, the zoom-in and zoom-out keys work from the cursor’s
position - not the present position, so you can zoom in on any detail,
anywhere while navigating. The latitude/longitude of the cursor shows in
the box at the top of the plot-1 screen whenever the cursor is activated.
The cursor is also used to place and erase icons and waypoints.
Press the EXIT key to erase the cursor.
PLOTTER OPTIONS
The GlobalNav 310 lets you customize
the plotter using the “plotter options”
menu. To use this menu, first press the
MENU key, then use the up or down arrow keys to highlight the “Plotter Opts”
label. Finally, press the right arrow key.
The screen shown at right appears.
15
Page 20
Record Trail On / Off
The line extending from the present position diamond on the plotter is call the
plot trail. As each dot on the trail is
placed on the screen, it’s also saved in
memory. The plot trail recording can be
turned off, if desired. To turn it off, press
the up or down arrow key until the
“Record Trail” menu is highlighted and
press the left arrow ke y. Press the EXIT
key to return to the main menu.
Clear Current Plot Trail
To erase the plot trail extending from your present position, highlight the
“ClearPlot Trail” me nu, then press the r ight arrow key. A message box
appears, asking you if you really want to erase the plot trail. Follow the
directions on this message box. The GlobalNav 310 returns to the plotter
screen after the message box clears.
Plotter Orientation
Normally, the GlobalNav 310 shows the plotter with north always at the
top of the screen. This is the way most maps and charts are printed on
paper. This is fine if you’ re alwa ys tra velling due nort h. W a ypoints you see
to your left corresponds to the left side of the plotter, to your right is
shown on the right side of the plotter, and so on.
However, if you travel any other direction, the plotter doesn’t line up with
your view of the world.
To correct this problem, this unit has a track-up mode that rotates the
plotter as you turn . Thus, what you see on the left side of the screen
should always be to your left, and so on. It also has a course-up mode
that keeps the plotter at the same orientation as your initial bearing to the
wa ypoint.
In the examples shown at right and on
the next page, we're trav elling southeast
(about 210° magnetic). In the north-up
view (at right), the present position indicator appears to move towards the lo wer
left corner of the screen. The anchor icon
shown on the left side of the screen is
actually on our right. Nor th is always at
the top center of this screen.

Special Windows
Although most of the windows used in the GlobalNav 310 are self-explanatory, there are sever al windows that hav e special f eatures or can be
used in unique ways. The following section describes these windows.
Satellite Information Screen (Group A)
This screen shows technical information about the status of the GPS
receiver. The receiver has tw elve channels. Data for each channel is show n
as bar graphs on the right side of the display. Every satellite in the constellation has a number assigned to it, called the PRN. The bar graph is
abov e each satellite’s number . The higher the bar on the graph, the better
the signal is being received from the satellite.
Each satellite is also shown on the circular graph on the left side of the
screen. This shows y ou not only which satellites are in your area, b ut also
their direction from your position, and their elevation (distance above the
hori z on.) The small inner circle represents 45° above the horizon and the
large outer circle represents the horizon. A satellite is straight above you
when it is at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines that pass
through the circles.
The FIX number in the lower left corner
of the screen show the quality of fix. If
the FIX is 9, then it's the best you can
get. A FIX of 1 is the worst.
20
Page 25
COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR
(CDI)
The CDI shows your distance to the left
or right of the desired course. Y ou must
recall a waypoint or run a route to use
the CDI. The arrow in the center of the
box shows the direction to the destination. For example, if you’re travelling
straight towards the destination, the arrow points straight up. If you turn to the
right, the arrow points to the left, showing that the destination is to your left.The smaller arrows pointing down
on each side show the CDI’s range. The default is 0.25 mile. The small
vertical bar beneath the arrow shows the
distance off course and represents the
course line. If the bar moves to the left,
then you are too far to the
right
of the
desired course line, and vice-versa. On
the indicator shown at right, we are about
0.1 mile to the right of the desired course.
(Each dotted ver tical line represents
0.175 mile.) You can adjust the CDI’s
range through the “ALARMS/CDI” menu.
Using the CDI with a map helps you visualize your position in relation to the course . The CDI is on sever al of the
310’s windows and can be programmed to show on any window group.

Saving Cursor Position as a Waypoint
(Select Number Method)
To save the cursor position under a specific waypoint number, first position the cursor at the desired position. Then follow the previous instructions for saving y our present position as a waypoint using the select number method. Remember, the
method
of saving your present position and
the cursor’s position is identical.
Edit Lat/Lon
The GlobalNav 310 lets you enter any
latitude/longitude using the keyboard
and save it under an y wa ypoint number,
from 1 to 250. You can also change any
waypoint’ s position using this method. To
do this, first select the wa ypoint number
that you want to save a position under

The GlobalNav 310 can show the position in degrees, minutes, and thousandths of a minute (36 28.700') or degrees, minutes, seconds, and tenths of
a second (36 28' 40.9". It can also show position in UTM’s (Universal
Transv erse Mercator) projection, British, Irish, and Military Grid systems.
UTM’s are marked on USGS topographic char ts. This system divides the
Earth into 60 zones, each appro ximately
6 degrees wide in longitude. Their unit
of measure is in meters. For example,
30 N means that the position shown to
the left of the “N” is in grid 30, and it’s
north of the equator.
British and Irish grid systems are the
national coordinate system used only in
their respective countries.
Note: In order to use either the British or
Irish grid systems, you must be in the
U.K .
38
Page 43
The GlobalNav 310 can use the military
grid reference system (MGRS). It uses
two grid lettering schemes, which are
referred to as standard and alternate
MGRS on the GlobalNav 310. Your position and datum in use determines
which one to use. In general, if the datum you’ re using is valid f or your present
position, then use the standard MGRS,
otherwise use the alternate MGRS.
Press the up or down arro w keys to highlight the desired position format. Press
the EXIT key to both select the fo r mat
and erase the position format menu.
NMEA / DGPS
The GlobalNav 310 transmits data through the data port in the back of
the unit using NMEA 0183 format, v ersion 1.5 or 2.0. This data is used by
other electronic devices such as marine autopilots for position and steering information.
DGPS on the other hand, is a data input. DGPS is an acronym for Differential Global P ositioning System. Currently, it relies on a system of groundbased transmitters that send correction signals to small DGPS receivers .
DGPS gives you more accurate positions than is otherwise possible.

GPS SETUP
The GPS Setup menu has sub-menus
that affect the GPS receiv er. From these
menus you can turn the simulator on or
off, set the update rate, initializ e the GPS
receiver, do a self-test on the receiver,
and do a cold-start. (Note: The “Initialize
GPS receiver” is cov ered in the “Finding
Your Position” section in the front of this
manual.
To vie w these menu items, press the MENU key, then highlight the “GPS
Setup” menu. Press the right arrow key. The screen shown above appears.
Execute GPS Cold Start
When the GlobalNav 310 is turned on for the first time “out of the box”, it
automatically sends a “cold-start” message to the GPS receiver. You can
also send a cold start message to the receiver at any time.
If the unit can’t lock on to the satellites using the data you’ve given it, or
if it has trouble finding the satellites, perhaps it is using the wrong data.
This can happen if you’ve entered the wrong data by accident when ini-
43
Page 48
tializing the receiver . For e xample, if you
entered east longitude instead of west.
Or if you’ve moved a long distance with
the unit turned off.
To send a cold start message to the receiver, highlight the “Execute GPS Cold
Start” label, then press the right arrow
key. A message appears, asking you if
you really want to do a cold start. F ollow
the instructions on this message page.
The unit will begin searching for the satellites. It can take as long as 5
minutes for it to lock on to the necessary satellites. Remember, when it
does, your local time and possibly date can be wrong. Use the method
shown in the initialization section at the front of this manual to change
them, if needed. Once this is done, an internal clock will keep the correct
time, even when the unit is turned off. The GPS system updates this
clock when the unit is locked on to the satellites.
DATUM
Maps and charts are based on a survey of the area that’s covered by the
map or chart. These surveys are called “Datums”. Maps that are created
using different datums will show the same latitude/longitude in slightly
different locations.
All datums are named. The GPS system is based on the WGS-84 datum,
which covers the entire world. Other datums may also cover the entire
world, or just a small portion. By default, the GlobalNav 310 shows your
position on the map using the WGS-84 datum. Ho wev er , it can show y our
position using one of 189 different datums.
To change the datum, first press the
MENU key, then highlight the “GPS
Setup” label and press the right arrow
key. Now highlight the “Select Datum”
label. Finally, press the right arrow key
again. A screen similar to the one at right
appears.
The WGS-84 label is highlighted. To change it, simply press the up or
down arrow k eys to highlight the desired datum, then press the ENT k ey.
This selects the datum and erases the select datum menu.
44
Page 49
PCF (Position Correction Factor)
Another method used to make your display match a chart or map is
called “PCF” or Position Correction Factor. This unit gives you the capability to move or offset the position shown on the displa y to match one on
the chart. The unit will add this offset to all position and navigation displays at all times.
Remember, the position error on any radio navigation system is very
dynamic and the PCF offset should never be used in an attempt to cancel the error.
In general terms, PCF should only be used if your map indicates what
the possible error is. PCF should al wa ys be reset to zero when you’re
finished with the chart.
For example, suppose you are stopped at a location that is accurately
marked on a chart. Your unit shows a longitude position that is .244 minutes east of the one on the chart and .047 minutes north latitude. Using
the PCF feature , you can make the GlobalNav 310 match the chart you’ re
using. If you move, the unit will continuously add the change to all position, navigation, and mapping displa ys. This makes it more closely match
the datum used by the chart. F or this reason, y ou should be careful when
entering the PCF offset. It’s saved in memory and doesn’t change when
the unit is turned off. However, resetting
the unit does erase the PCF offset.
To change the PCF offset, first press the
MENU key, then highlight the “GPS
Setup” label and press the right arrow
key. Now highlight the “Set PCF Offset”
label. Finally, press the right arrow key
again. A screen similar to the one at right
appears.
Now enter the correction for your location. Remember, this is the difference
between the location shown on the
present position display and the position
shown on the chart. In this example, we
entered 0 degrees, 0.047 minutes north
latitude and 0 degrees, 0.244 minutes
east longitude. That is the difference between the present position shown by the
GlobalNav 310 and the one on our chart.
45
Page 50
After you’ve entered the latitude/longitude correction, press the ENT key
to accept it. The GlobalNa v 310 erases the PCF entry screen and returns
to the navigation or mapping screens with the correction factor applied.
POSITION PINING
When using a GPS receiver at extremely low speeds, it can have trouble
determining your course over ground, or direction you’ re trav elling. This is
due in large part to SA, or selective availability. SA is small inaccuracies
purposefully put into the GPS satellite’s signal by the government. This
cause wide variations in the track display and other navigation displays
when using the unit at slow speeds.
If you’re using the GlobalNav 310 without DGPS and stop, the position
pinning feature locks the present position indicator on the plotter until
you’ve moved a short distance or exceed a very slow speed. This prevents the “wandering” plot trail seen when you’re stopped with position
pinning turned off. This also affects the navigational displays.
The easiest way to see the eff ects of S/A is to stand still with the GlobalNav
310 turned on and watch your plot trail with position pinning turned off.
You’ll see the present position change, speed increase and decrease,
and a random plot trail on the plotter’s screen.
To turn the position pining feature off, press the MENU key, then highlight
the “GPS Setup” label and press the right arrow key. Now highlight the
“Pos Pinning” label. Finally, press the left arrow key.
ALARMS
This unit has several alarms. You can set an arrival alarm to sound a
warning tone when you cross a preset distance from a waypoint. For
example, if you have the arrival alarm set to .1 mile, then the alarm will
sound when you come within .1 mile of the recalled wa ypoint. The course
deviation indicator alarm (CDI) can sound a warning when your track
drifts too far to the right or left of the line to the waypoint. F or example, if
the alarm is set to .1 mile, then the alarm will sound if you drift .1 of a mile
or more to the right or left of the line to
the waypoint. The anchor alarm sounds
a warning when you drift outside of a
preset radius. Again, using the .1 mile
as an example, if you’re anchored and
your boat moves more than .1 of a mile,
the alarm will sound.
To use any of these alar ms, first press
46
Page 51
the MENU key, then select the “ALARMS/CDI” menu. A screen similar to
the one shown at right appears. Press the up or do wn arrow key to mov e
the black box to the desired alarm, then press the right arrow k ey to turn
it on.
To adjust an alarm’s distance, move the black box to the alarm’s “DIST”
menu item, then press the right or left arrow keys to increase or decrease
the alarm’s distance.
When you’re finished adjusting the alar m s, press the EXIT key to erase
this menu.
Important Alarm Notes:
Anchor Alarm - Since civilian users don’t receive the accuracy given to
military users, the anchor alarm may sound even when you’re sitting
still. This typically happens when using small (less than .05 mile) anchor alarm ranges. If you have a DGPS beacon receiver connected to
the GlobalNav 310, smaller ranges may be usable.
Arrival Alarm - If you set the arrival alarm’s distance to zero (0), and
you run a route (see the routes section), the GlobalNav 310 may not
show navigation data to the next waypoint, once you arrive at the first
one. If you use the routes feature, never set the arrival alarm to zero.
MESSAGES
On the GPS Alarms menu are the position and DGPS message selections. When turned on, the position message appears for a few seconds
whenever the GlobalNav 310 locks onto the satellites and shows a position. It also appears when the unit loses the lock onto the satellites and
cannot navigate. Pressing the EXIT key erases these messages.
The DGPS message appears whenever the unit begins or stops using
DGPS data to help determine your position.
The default setting for these messages is “on”. To tur n either message
off, select the “GPS Alarms” menu from the main menu, then move the
black bo x to the desired message and press the left arrow ke y. Press the
EXIT key to erase this screen.
BACKLIGHT
The AirMap’s display and keyboard have lights that can be turned on for
night use. To tur n the lights on, simply press the PWR key. To tu rn them
off, press the PWR key again.
