Chapter 2: GPS Information

2.1 About Satellite Navigation

Global satellite navigation is an exciting technology, providing enhanced productivity and accuracy in a vast number of industries. It adds a new level of enjoyment and safety to a wide range of navigation, sports, and recreational activities.

A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a network of satellites that transmit high-frequency radio signals containing time and distance data that can be picked up by a receiver, allowing users to pinpoint their precise locations anywhere around the globe.

There are two Global Navigation Satellite Systems in operation: the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS). These systems are constantly being upgraded to meet higher standards of reliability. A third GNSS named GALILEO, after the Italian astronomer of the early 1600s, is being developed in Europe specifically to provide a higher standard of integrity and reliability, required to ensure the safety of lives during transport by air, land and sea, without the use of additional augmentation systems.

While the GPS and GLONASS satellite networks are being developed to achieve maximum performance, Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) have been established to provide improved accuracy. SBAS provides differential signal corrections for GPS and GLONASS transmissions with the use of ground stations and geostationary satellites in specific regions. This is GNSS-1, the first phase in establishing the required integrity for high-precision satellite navigation.

GNSS-2 requires the launching of new satellites into orbit and a complete upgrade of the existing satellite systems. This second phase is already well underway. GALILEO, scheduled to begin service in 2008, is being developed to meet the standards of GNSS-2 for rapid and reliable, certified precision positioning.

2.2 How Satellite Navigation Works

Global navigation satellites continuously transmit time and distance information as they orbit Earth in a precise formation. Navigation satellite receivers use this information to calculate an exact location through triangulation. Every point on Earth is identified by two sets of numbers called coordinates. These coordinates represent the exact point where a horizontal line, known as latitude, crosses a vertical line, known as longitude. The receiver locks on to at least three satellites and uses the information received to determine the coordinates of the receiving device.

By comparing the time the signals were transmitted from the satellites and the time they were recorded, the receiver calculates how far away each satellite is. The distance of the receiver from three or more satellites reveals its position on the surface of the planet. With these distance measurements, the receiver might also calculate speed, bearing, trip time, distance to destination, altitude, and more.

The satellite-navigation device may display its position as longitude/latitude, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Military Grid (MG), or simply as a point on an electronic map. Many Thales Navigation receivers provide comprehensive mapping data, making satellite navigation an easy tool to enhance your recreational and industrial activities.

2.2.1 Line of Sight

Satellite-navigation receivers operate by line of sight with global-positioning satellites. This means that at least three satellites must be in “view” of a receiver in order to calculate longitude and latitude. A fourth satellite must also be within line of sight to calculate altitude. On average, eight satellites are continuously within line of sight of every position on Earth; the more satellites in view, the more accurate the positioning.

Though the radio signals of navigation satellites will pass through clouds, glass, plastic, and other lightweight materials, satellite-navigation receivers will not work underground or in other enclosed spaces.

Chapter 2: GPS Information

2.3 A Word on the Safe Usage of GPS Maps

Just like paper maps, maps on GPS devices vary greatly in terms of information included and visual presentation. Whether topographical maps, roadmaps or marine charts, each map and the data it presents is designed for a specific purpose. For example, marine charts will often present only a minimal representation of roadways and are not a substitute for street maps. Topographic maps usually provide minimal detail about bodies of water and do not contain marine navigational markers.

Maps also vary widely in scale: the smaller the scale, the more detailed the map. Therefore, when using GPS maps (just as with paper maps) it is important to consider what type of map you are using in your explorations and to use common sense.

2.3.1 From Source to Destination

Thales Navigation, maker of Magellan GPS products, is not a cartography company. We do not create the maps that are used on our GPS devices. We seek to acquire map data from the best public and private sources available at the time of publication. Thales Navigation licenses* topographical maps, roadmaps, marine charts and points of interest (POI) data from commercial and governmental cartographic sources that provide raw map data. Thales Navigation processes and compresses the raw data into a format that makes it presentable and manageable to work on our GPS devices. And to ensure that our map data is as robust as possible, data from multiple sources are often combined to provide a better user experience for our customers. This processing does not alter the landforms, coordinates or other spatial data that comes in the raw data. The accuracy of the maps is fundamentally dependent on the source data used to create them. Map data changes frequently due to both natural and man-made causes. As a result, governmental and commercial cartography companies must continuously review, correct, and improve upon their map data. We release new versions of our maps on a regular basis to reflect these changes.

After processing the data, we test the compatibility of the map with our GPS devices to ensure that the products we release work properly on our GPS devices. We also beta-test our products to get customer feedback prior to release.

2.4 Placement of Your GPS Receiver for Optimal Satellite Reception

FIrstly, before considering signal reception, it is important to understand that your GPS receiver is a sensitive piece of equipment. You should never place it in an area of your vehicle where it may be struck by other items, or where vibration may cause it to strike other items or parts of the vehicle. The windshield mount included in the box allows you to place the receiver in such a way that the antenna can receive the satellite signal through the windshield without being obstructed by other parts of the vehicle. However, tinted windows or other reflective coatings may interfere with reception. In this case, it may be required to attach an external antenna (optional). An external antenna provides faster satellite fix times and greater signal strength. Because it is mounted outside of the vehicle, it is not affected by reflective coatings on windows and has an unobstructed line of sight to the satellites. Other mounting solutions are available but may require an external antenna.

External conditions also affect GPS signal reception. Although weather conditions do not affect the signal, tall buildings and trees, driving through canyons, wooded areas, or tunnels, and sitting in a garage or covered parking area will affect the GPS signal. The GPS receiver constantly monitors and updated the GPS signal status and will reacquire the signal once it is clear of any obstructions.

2.5 Signal Acquisition Time

The first time you use your Magellan RoadMate 6000T, or if you travel over 500 miles with it off, there may be a delay in receiving the initial satellite fix; depending on your position and the position of the satellites, this could take 15 minutes or more. Normal usage will receive the satellite fix much faster, but still may take several minutes. It is important to have your antenna rotated upward and an unobstructed view of the sky to receive the best possible satellite signal.

Chapter 2: GPS Information

2.6 GPS Maps and Your Safety

Remember, your GPS device is an aid to navigation. It must be used with common sense, and it is important that users interpret GPS map data with a critical eye. Landscapes and roads change or may be impassable, trees and tall buildings can obscure GPS signals, and your GPS device may not always reflect the complete picture. When using GPS, you must combine the information provided by your GPS map with your relevant local knowledge, road signage, buoys, depth soundings and changing local conditions to generate a complete understanding of your situation.

It is your responsibility to ensure compliance to all traffic laws, including pedestrian observance of crosswalks, and to use good judgment while operating the Magellan GPS receiver. Safety must be your primary concern. The Magellan GPS receiver must not be used while engaged in any activity requiring the user's full attention to the environment. For instance, the Magellan RoadMate 6000T GPS receiver should be operated only by vehicle passengers or by the driver when the vehicle has come to a complete stop. The driver must not attempt to view the display while driving. Disregard any unsafe, hazardous or illegal route suggestions.

Magellan maps do not include, analyze, process, consider or reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions); road slope or grade; bridge height, width, weight or other limits; population density; neighborhood quality or safety; availability or proximity of law enforcement, emergency rescue, medical or other assistance; construction work zones or hazards; road, sidewalk, or waterway closures or conditions; weather conditions; pavement characteristics or conditions; special events; traffic congestion; time of day.

*Thales Navigation licenses map data from governmental sources such as, but not limited to, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA-NOS) and the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS). Thales Navigation also licenses map data from commercial cartography companies such as Navigation Technologies, Navionics, DMTI and C-Map.

• Do not enter the street type such as “Ave.” or “Avenue” except in some cases where the street type is included before the street name (e.g. “Via Calle”, “Avenue 378”, or “Rue Andre”).

• When entering a numbered street (e.g. “4th Street”), use the numeric keypad to enter “4” and go back to the alpha keypad to enter “th”.

• For streets with multiple words such as “Overland Heights”, you must enter the first word. Entering the word “Heights” will not return the desired street.

Chapter 5: Navigation Basic Operation

5.11 Multi-Word Indexing

The Magellan RoadMate employs a search feature known as “Multi-Word Indexing”. This feature enables you to search the database for possible matches based on the characters that have been entered. The returned matches will start with the characters that have been entered. For example:

You are searching for a street called “Red Barn Lane”. Rather than spell the entire name of the street, you can simply enter “Red”. The Magellan RoadMate will return all database entries

containing the word 'Red' as part of the street name. The returned list is subject to the

additional parameters set by the search, such as the town or county that was entered.

The database only indexes the base names of streets. In the example above, only the words “Red” and “Barn” will be indexed.

When entering street names, do not enter prefixes such as “N” or “North” unless the whole word is part of the street name. By entering “N” the search will return all streets starting with the letter “N”.

Also, do not enter suffixes such as “St” or “Ave” or “Rd” unless the whole word is part of the street name. By entering “St” the search will return all words starting with “St”.

• Town names and Points of Interest are also Multi-Word Indexed in the same way as street names. By entering the letters ‘Port’ or ‘Talbot’ a list of town names containing these words, one of which will be Port Talbot, will be returned. Entering part of a POI name will return all POIs within t

Thank you for choosing the Magellan TrafficKit. This system will deliver traffic event information to your Magellan RoadMate.

9.1.1 Glossary

RDS: Radio Data System. Infrastructure that broadcasts digital information on the FM band. The TrafficKit module can only

receive and decode the free-access service.

TMC: Traffic Message Channel, one of the types of information that a Radio Data System can broadcast. TrafficKit: TrafficKit is the Magellan brand name for the RDS-TMC module which receives free-access TMC messages. TMC Message: A message received by the TrafficKit module that contains the description of a TMC event. TMC Event: An event liable to disturb the flow of traffic. The list of possible TMC events that can be received by the Magellan

RoadMate is provided below, along with the corresponding road sign:

Sign Meaning Sign Meaning

Danger Road Closed

Slow Traffic Severe Weather

Lane Reduction

Road Work

Accident

Special Equipment Required Vehicle Related Restriction

Alert Mode: TMC events are received by the Magellan RoadMate for informational purposes.

Chapter 9: Integrated Magellan Traffic

Re-routing Mode: This mode will reroute the vehicle if a TMC event impacts the route, and a faster alternative route is available.

9.2 Understanding How The TrafficKit Works

Please read the following statements before using the TrafficKit.

1. You can enable and disable TMC event categories. By default, all categories are enabled.

2. Selected TMC events will either alert and/or re-route you depending on the operating mode.

3. All selected event categories will be displayed on the map screen in the form of traffic event icons.

4. If you are not routing to a destination, the RDS function will only display TMC events on the map screen.

9.2.1 RDS-TMC Operating Modes

In the Magellan RoadMate, TMC events that impact your route can be processed in one of the following two modes:

• Re-routing Mode. (Default) TMC events affecting your route will trigger the Magellan RoadMate to automatically calculate a new route, if a faster alternative route is available.

• Alert Mode. TMC events affecting your route will be reported to you in the form of warning messages on the Magellan RoadMate screen.

Setting and using these two operating modes are discussed in the next chapters.

9.2.2 Selecting Categories of TMC Events

You may choose the TMC event categories you would like to be informed of as they occur:

1. Access the Navigation Options menu and select Configuration

2. Scroll down the list and select TMC Options.

3. Select Incident Options.

4. In the displayed list, check all categories of TMC events (incidents) you want the Magellan RoadMate to process, and deselect events that are of no interest. Use the Down button to scroll to the bottom of the list. For best routing Magellan recommends leaving all of the boxes checked.

The existing categories of TMC events are listed at the beginning of this manual in the Glossary.

Checking an option in this list implies that:

• The Magellan RoadMate’s map screen will show ALL the received events pertaining to this category at their respective locations.

• Any event from this category that is located along the route will calculate an alternative route if the Magellan RoadMate determines the alternative route is faster.

5. Select the Save button to confirm all your choices.

9.2.3 Re-routing Mode

Setting the Re-routing Mode

1. Access the Navigation Options menu and select Configuration.

2. Scroll down the list and select TMC Options

3. Select TMC Selection.

4. Unless already done, check the TMC Active option

Chapter 9: Integrated Magellan Traffic

5. Check the Use Alternative route option (see Diagram 5 below). Note that this causes the button just underneath to

be renamed “Reroute option”.

6. Select the Reroute Option button on the screen. A new screen appears on which you can set the distance from the

event that will trigger the alternative route (see Diagram 6).

Check one of the following options:

• Live Alert: With this option checked, the Magellan RoadMate will search for a faster alternative route whenever a

TMC event arises on your current route. This will happen at the time the event is received, regardless of your distance to the event.

• Dist. to event < 40 mi: With this option checked, the Magellan RoadMate will re-route you only if the distance to

this TMC event, is less than 40 miles from your current location (not a point-to-point distance but that measured along the route).

• Dist. to event < 20 miles: Same as above for a distance of 20 miles.

• Dist. to event < 10 miles: Same as above for a distance of 10 miles.

7. Select Save to confirm your choice and then Save again to return to your guidance screen.

9.2.4 Traveling with the Re-routing Mode On

When you use your Magellan RoadMate in the Re-routing Mode, the following will occur whenever a TMC event that affects your route is received:

• The Magellan RoadMate will analyze the impact this event will have on your route.

• A “Re-calculating the route” message will pop up on the Magellan RoadMate screen along with the reason for the re-calculation.

• Once the Magellan RoadMate has computed an alternative route, it will compare the alternative route with the original route, and will decide which is the best route to follow, taking time and distance into consideration.

• If the original route is still the best one to follow, the route will be unchanged, and the time portion of the status bar will be updated to reflect the delay. In this case you will see the event in the maneuvers list when you get closer to its location.

• If the alternative route is the best route to follow, the Magellan RoadMate will start guiding you along this route.

• The map screen will also show road signs corresponding to TMC events, including those not affecting the route.

• Events that affect your route will also appear as road signs in the manuever list.

9.2.5 Alert Only Mode

Setting the Alert Mode. This mode will not provide you with new routing information, it will only alert you to the event. (Magellan recommends that you keep both incident Options checked.)

1. Access the Navigation Options menu and select Configuration.

2. Scroll down the list and select TMC Options

3. Select TMC Selection.

4. Unless already done, check the TMC Active option and make sure the Use alternative route option is deselected (see

screen 4. below).

5. Select the Alert Options button on the screen. A new screen appears on which you can set the options relevant to

the Alert mode (see 5. below)

Chapter 9: Integrated Magellan Traffic

Check one or more of the following options:

• Live Alert: When checked, the Magellan RoadMate will inform you of a traffic event located along your route as

soon as it is detected.

• Reminder at 40 mi: If you check this option, the Magellan RoadMate will remind you of the traffic event it has

received earlier. The message will appear when this event, located somewhere along your route, is 40 miles away from your current location (not a point-to-point distance but measured along the route).

• Reminder at 20 mi: Same as above but the distance from the event is only 20 miles

• Reminder at 10 mi: Same as above but the distance from the event is only10 miles

6. Select Save to validate your choices and then come back to your usual guidance screen.

9.2.6 Traveling with the Alert Mode On

When you use the TrafficKit in the Alert Mode, the following will occur when new TMC events are received:

• If an event affects your route, a warning message will appear on the screen at a time or distance defined in the Alert Options menu (step 5, page 74).

• If you do not acknowledge the message by pressing the ENTER button, it will automatically disappear after 10 seconds. Additional warning messages, if any, will appear in turn on the screen.

• Events that affect your route will also appear as road signs in the maneuver list, and also in the lower part of the True View screen. See examples below:

• The map screen will show road signs corresponding to the TMC events, including those which do not affect the route. You can obtain detailed information on any event by selecting the icon on the map screen. A dialog box will open containing a description of the event.

9.3 Status Bar

The RDS-TMC function is shown in the status bar (bottom right of the screen):

TMC indicator

Chapter 9: Integrated Magellan Traffic

The background color of the TMC indicator should be interpreted as follows:

2. Scroll down the list and select TMC Options

3. Select TMC Selection.

4. Deselect the TMC Active box

5. Click Save to confirm your choice.

When the RDS function is off, the Magellan RoadMate ignores all incoming TMC messages.

9.4 FAQs

Q1- How does the Magellan RoadMate module choose the frequency on which to receive TMC data?

R1: This is an automated procedure. When you turn on the system, the Traffic module analyzes the 5 best frequencies stored in its memory. These frequencies are classified in order of signal strength. The module then tests if TMC data is available on the first station. If the first station is sending TMC messages, the module will stay on that frequency, otherwise it will test the next one until it finds a station that delivers TMC data.

If none of the 5 frequencies can be used, the TrafficKit module will start scanning the entire FM band. It will search for the best five frequencies on which TMC data is available and will tune in to the strongest station. These five best frequencies will be saved in memory to be used the next time the system is powered up.

Q2- Why do we have to wait between 2 and 5 minutes before the RDS module starts delivering RDS data the first time we use it?

R2: This is the average time for the module to test all the possible frequencies on the FM band and choose the best one in terms of signal level and TMC data availability/quality.
