8NAVMAN TRACKER 5507/5607 Installation and Operation Manual
1 Introduction
1-1Overview
The NAVMAN 5507/5607 is a compact, rugged, highly integrated marine chartplotter. It is easy to use and has an easy to read color display. Complex functions can be performed with a few key presses, taking the hard work out of boating.
This manual covers:
5507/5607
Color display, external GPS antenna.
The available functions, displays and setup menus depend on the optional sensors and instruments that are installed:
1The Fuel functions require optional petrol/gasoline, diesel or SmartCraft™ fuel sensors to be installed and set up.
2SmartCraft™ engine functions require a SmartCraft™ system to be installed. For information on using SmartCraft™, see the
SmartCraft™GatewayInstallationand
OperationManual.
3The 5507/5607 can send data to other instruments, such as an autopilot, and receive data from other instruments.
4AIS functions require an optional AIS receiver to be installed.
For information on installing options, see section 16-2.
This manual describes how to install and operate the 5507/5607. 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.
1-2Cleaningandmaintenance
The 5507/5607 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 5507/5607 is turned off.
1-3Plug-incards
The 5507/5607 can use two kinds of plug-in card:
1C-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 5507/5607 chart window.
The 5507/5607 can use NT, NT+, NT-MAX and NT-MAX2 cards.
2C-MAP™ user cardsare used to store navigation data. Each user card expands the 5507/5607 memory and allows the data to be transferred to another 5507/5607 easily (see section 12).
Note: The older 5 volt user cards are not supported.

3-1Overviewofnavigating
The 5507/5607 has two ways of navigating, going straight to a point or following a route.
3-1-1Navigatingtoapoint
When the 5507/5607 is navigating to a point, the chart and highway windows show navigation data:
B
D
C
AD
AThe boat position
.
B The destination point marked with a circle.
CThe boat’s plotted course to the destination.
DTwo CDI lines, parallel to the boat’s plotted course, which indicate the maximum expected deviation from the plotted course.
For more information, see appendix C.
If the 5507/5607 is connected to an autopilot, the 5507/5607 will send data to the autopilot to steer the boat to the destination. Start the autopilot before starting to navigate to the point.
If the 5507/5607 has no autopilot, steer the boat manually:
ause the boat position and destination on the chart or highway windows
bor use navigation data window on the data header (see section 2-8-3)
cor use COG and BRG on the compass (see section 2-8-4).
Note:
1If the XTE alarm is enabled, an alarm will sound if the boat deviates too much from its intended course (see section 15-8).

The Chart has two modes: Centre on boat mode
To switch to centre on boat mode in the chart window, press 
. The boat
is at the centre of the chart. As the boat moves through the water, the chart automatically scrolls to keep the boat in the centre of the chart. The cursor (see below) is turned off.
Cursor mode
The keys 
and 
are called cursor keys. To switch to cursor mode in the chart window, 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.
3-2-2Latitudeandlongitude
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 |

3-5Tracksandtracking
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 5507/5607 can display one track while recording another.
To work with tracks, see section 15-5. The 5507/5607 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:
The track lengths are in the current distance units, for example nm.
