Chapter 1: Information

1.1 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.

1.2 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.

1.2.1 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 1: Information

1.3 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.

1.3.1 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.

1.4 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.

1.5 Signal Acquisition Time

The first time you use your Magellan RoadMate, or if you travel over 500 miles with the unit 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 1: Information

1.6 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 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.

Chapter 4: Antenna Position

The antenna on the Magellan RoadMate 860T is designed in such a way as to receive the satellite signal at the front face of the antenna. It is important to angle the antenna so that the front face is mostly toward the sky. Ideally in most vehicles, the antenna should be rotated to approximately 90° from the unit to receive the best possible satellite signal.

5.9 What Is QuickSpell?

The Magellan RoadMate uses QuickSpell technology to provide you with the fastest method possible to enter characters. QuickSpell eliminates the possibility of a misspelled word or looking for a city or street that is not in the loaded database. As you begin entering characters, the QuickSpell feature of the Magellan RoadMate dims out those characters which that are not available, thereby speeding up the process of entering data.

Example:

Suppose that you need to input the name of a city--in this case, San Francisco.

Select “S”.

Select “A”.

Select “N”.

Select the spacebar.

When enough characters have been entered, the Magellan RoadMate will automatically display the list of cities; or, if you feel that enough characters have been entered, select

Use the Navigation key to scroll the list up or down and select “San Francisco, CA” from the list.

The list of items found in the database is limited to 100 items. When over 100 items have been found, “Matches: > 100” will be displayed shown in the bottom right corner of the display; you may need to press the

ESCAPE key and enter additional characters.

OK.

Chapter 5: Navigation Basic Operation

5.10 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 entered. The matches returned will start with the characters entered. For example:

You are searching for a street called “East Old Fort Road”. Rather than spell the entire name of the street, you can simply enter “Fort”. The Magellan RoadMate will return all database entries where on of the words begins with “Fort”. The list returned is subject to the additional parameters set by the search such as the city or state entered.

The database only indexes the main names of streets. In the example above, only the words “Old” and “Fort” 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 main street names 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 main street names starting with “St”.

Along with street names, multi-word indexing also supports entering names of cities and points of interest.
