Important

It is your sole responsibility to install and use Navman’s instrument and GPS antenna in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. Always observe safe boating practices.

The choice, location, angle and installation of the instrument & GPS antenna are critical to performance of the system as intended. Follow instructions in this manual carefully. If in doubt, consult your Navman dealer.

Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in doubt, consult a qualified boat builder.

Global Position System: The global Position System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government which is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance.The GPS is subject to changes which could a ect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment anywhere in the world, including theTRACKER andTRACKFISH.To reduce the risk of misusing or misinterpreting theTRACKER andTRACKFISH, you must read and understand all aspects of this Installation & Operation Manual.We also recommend that practice all operations using the built-in simulator before using theTRACKER orTRACKFISH.

Electronic Chart: The electronic chart used byTRACKER orTRACKFISH is an aid to navigation designed to supplement, not replace o cial government charts. Only o cial government charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for safe and prudent navigation, Always supplement the electronic information provided byTRACKER orTRACKFISH with other plotting sources such as observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings. Should the information not agree, the discrepancy must be resolved before proceeding any further.

Fuel Computer: Do not rely on the fuel computer as the sole source of information regarding available fuel onboard. Fuel economy can change drastically depending on boat loading and sea conditions. Fuel Computer information should be supplemented by visual or other checks of the fuel load.This is necessary due to possible operator errors such as forgetting to reset the fuel used when filling the tank, running the engine with the Fuel Computer not switched on, or on other operator actions that may render the device inaccurate. Always carry adequate fuel onboard for the intended trip, plus a reserve to allow for unforeseen circumstances.

Failure to adhere to these warnings may lead to death, serious injury or property damage. Navman disclaims all liability for installation or use of this product that causes or contributes to death, injury or property damage or that violates any law.

1 Introduction

1-1 Overview

The NAVMAN TRACKER is a compact, rugged, highly integrated marine chartplotter. It is easy to use and has an easy to read colour display.

Complex functions can be performed with a few key presses, taking the hard work out of boating.

This manual covers:

TRACKER 5505/5605

Colour display, external GPS antenna.

TRACKER 5505i

Colour display, internal GPS antenna.

The available functions, displays and setup menus depend on the optional sensors and instruments that are installed:

The Fuel functions require optional petrol/gasoline, diesel or SmartCraft fuel sensors to be installed and set up.

SmartCraft engine functions require a SmartCraft system to be installed. For information on using SmartCraft, see the SmartCraft Gateway Installation and Operation Manual.

The TRACKER can send data to other instruments, such as an autopilot, and receive data from other instruments.

For information on installing options, see section 15-2.

This manual describes how to install and operate the TRACKER. Special terms are explained in Appendix C. For maximum benefit, please read this manual carefully before installing and using the unit. For more information on this instrument and other Navman products, go to our website, www.navman.com.

1-2 Cleaning and maintenance

The TRACKER screen is covered by a proprietary anti-reflection coating. To avoid damage, clean the screen only with a damp cloth and mild detergent when dirty or covered in sea salt. Avoid abrasive cleaners, petrol or other solvents. If a plug-in card gets dirty or wet, clean it with a damp cloth or mild detergent.

Tooptimize performance, avoid walking on or jamming cables and connectors.

Push the dust cover over the display when the TRACKER is turned off.

1-3 Plug-in cards

The TRACKER can use two kinds of plug-in card:

C-MAP™ chart cards have chart details required for navigating in a particular region. When a chart card is plugged in, the extra details automatically appear on the TRACKER chart display.

The TRACKER can use NT, NT+ and NT-MAX cards.

C-MAP™ user cardsare used to store navigation data. Each user card expands the TRACKER memory and allows the data to be transferred to another TRACKER easily (see section 14).

Note: The older 5 volt user cards are not supported.

The keys and are called cursor keys. To switch to cursor mode in the chart display, hold down a cursor key. The cursor appears and moves away from the boat:

Press the key which points in the direction that the cursor will move, for example press

to move the cursor down.

Press midway between two of the cursor keys to make the cursor move diagonally.

Hold a cursor key down to make the cursor move continuously across the display.

In Cursor mode:

The distance (DST) and bearing (BRG) of the cursor from the boat are displayed at the bottom, left corner of the display.

The chart does not scroll as the boat moves.

If the cursor reaches the edge of the display, the chart will scroll.

For example, hold down to move the cursor to the right side of the display and the chart will scroll to the left.

3-2-2 Latitude and longitude

Latitude and longitude can be displayed in the data header. The display is degrees and minutes to three decimal places, about 2 m (6 ft) resolution. Normally the position is the boat’s position, and the latitude and longitude has a boat symbol to show this:

36° 29.637’ N or S Latitude 175° 09.165’ E or W Longitude

If the cursor has been moved in the last ten seconds, then the position is the cursor’s position, and the latitude and longitude has a cursor symbol to show this:

36° 29.841’ N or S Latitude 175° 09.012’ E or W Longitude

! WARNING

When reading the boat position, make sure the position is not the cursor position.

3-5 Tracks and tracking

Tracking records the boat’s position to memory at regular intervals, which can be:

Time intervals.

Or distance intervals.

The track of where the boat has been can be displayed on the chart. The TRACKER can display one track while recording another.

To work with tracks, see section 14-5. The TRACKER can store five tracks:

Track 1 can hold up to 2000 points and is intended to record the normal progress of the boat.

Tracks 2, 3, 4 and 5 can hold up to 500 points each and are intended to record sections to be retraced accurately, for example entering a river mouth.

Tip: Record the tracks in good conditions.

When recording is on and the track becomes full then recording continues and the oldest points in the track are deleted. The maximum

length of a track depends on the selected track interval: a small interval will give a shorter, more detailed track and a long interval will give a longer, less detailed track, as shown in these examples:

Time intervals

Interval	Track 1	Track 2, 3, 4
		or 5
1 sec	33 minutes	8 minutes
10 sec	5.5 hours	1.4 hours
1 min	33 hours	8 hours
Distance intervals
Interval	Track 1	Track 2, 3, 4
		or 5
0.01	20	5
1	2,000	500
10	20,000	5,000

The track lengths are in the current distance units, for example nm.
