NAVMAN
TRACKER 5430/5430i Installation and Operation Manual
Important
It is the owner's sole responsibility to install and use the instrument in a manner that will not cause
accidents, personal injur y or property damage. The user of this product is solely responsible for
observing safe boating practices.
Global Positioning System: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US government
which is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject
to changes which could af fect the accurac y and performance of all GPS equipment anywhere in the
world including the TRACKER. Whilst the NAVMAN TRACKER is a precision navigation instrument,
it can be misused or misinterpreted, which can result in its use being unsafe. To reduce the risk of
misusing or misinterpreting the TRACKER, the user must read and understand all aspects of this
Installation and Operation manual. We also suggest that the user practice all operations using the
built in simulator before using the TRACKER at sea.
Electronic Chart: The electronic chart used by the TRACKER is an aid to navigation and is designed
to supplement the use of official government charts not replace them. Only official government
charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for safe and prudent
navigation. Always supplement the information provided by the TR ACKER with other plotting
sources such as observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings. Should the
information not agree then the discrepancy must be resolved before proceeding any further.
Fuel Compute r: Fuel economy can alter drastically dep ending on the boat loading and sea
conditions. The fuel computer should not be the sole source of information concerning available fuel
onboard and the electronic information should be supplemented by visual or other check s of the
fuel load. This is necessary due to possible operator induced errors such as forgetting to reset the
fuel used when filling the tank, running the engine with the fuel computer not switched on or other
operator controlled actions that may render the device inaccurate. Always ensure that adequate fuel
is carried onboard for the intended trip plus a reserve to allow for unforeseen circumstances.

1 Introduction
TRACKER char tplotters
NAVMAN’s TRACKER chartplotters are compact,
ruggedly built, highly integrated navigation
instruments. They have been designed to be
easy to use. Complex navigation functions can
be performed with a few key presses, taking the
hard work out of navigation.
This manual covers these NAVMAN chartplotters:
TRACKER 5430
Greyscale display, external GPS antenna.
TRACKE R 5430i
Greyscale display, internal GPS antenna.
The TRACKER has a built-in chart of the world,
suitable for route planning and general interest.
To see chart details for a region, plug in a C-MAP™
chart card (an elec tronic chart).
The TRACKER receives information from the GPS
system and displays the boat’s position and speed.
1-1 Care
Cleaning and maintenance
Caution should be used when cleaning the
TRACKER, and especially the screen of the
TRACKER. Only use a clean sponge or chamois
soaked in fresh water and mild detergent. Never
use a dry cloth as this may drag dried salt crystals
across the screen resulting in scratching. Do not
use any form of abrasive cleaner, solvent, petrol
or other chemical cleaner.
Push the dust cover over the display when the
TRACKER is turned of f.
The TRACKER can navigate to a point or can
navigate along a route. When the boat is
navigating to one of these points, the TRACKER
displays course information for the helmsman
to follow.
The TRACKER can control an autopilot and can
display depth information from a depth sounder.
With an optional fuel kit, the TRACKER becomes
a sophisticated yet easy to use fuel computer.
Navigation data can be saved to a plug-in user
card so that it can be easily transferred to another
NAVMAN chartplotter.
The TRACKER is part of the NAVMAN family
of instruments, which includes instruments
for speed, depth, wind and repeaters. These
instruments can be connected together to form
an integrated data system (see sec tion 14).
For maximum benefit, please read this manual
carefully before installing and using the unit.
Special terms are explained in appendix C.
Plug-in cards
Handle plug-in cards carefully. Keep them in
their protective cases when not plugged into the
TRACKER.
If a card gets dirt y or wet, clean it with a damp
cloth or mild detergent.
Keep the card holder in place in the display unit
at all times to prevent moisture from entering the
card compartment.
1-2 Plug-in cards
The TRACKER can use two kinds of plug-in cards:
C-MAP™ chart cards have char t details
required for navigating in a par ticular
region. When a char t card is plugged in, the
extra details automatically appear on the
TRACKER’s chart display.
C-MAP™ user cards are used to store
navigation data. Each user card expands the
6
TRACKER’s memory and allows the data to be
transferred to another TRACKER easily (see
section 11).
Note: The older 5 vo lt user cards are not
supported .
When a card is inserted or removed it does not
matter if the TRACKER is turned on or off.
