1. Introduction

Welcome to the world of GPS mapping!

with most software products, we have ongoing updates and developments. We continually strive to improve our product and value any feedback you may like to share with us.

Introduction

Satmap Systems is the creator of the Active 12 — an award-winning rugged sports GPS range, purpose-built for the great outdoors, offering a long battery life in a weatherproof and shockproof casing.

 Easy-to-use with ‘plug-and-play’ mapping

 Rugged, shockproof and weather-resistant

 Latest dual-band Bluetooth connectivity for

Peer-to-Peer data sharing, in addition to support for Heart Rate Monitors and bike

speed/cadence sensors.

 Barometric altimeter for accurate elevation

and pressure readings.

 Map orientation options for enhanced

visibility barometric altimeter for accurate elevation and pressure readings.

 Hi-Res (HVGA) bright 3.5" colour screen

 Long battery life with numerous power

management options.

 Ability to plan routes on GPS and online

 Extensive range of international maps

The Active 12 is latest model from Satmap Systems ultimate sports GPS range. It is easy-to-use and intuitive, showing a blue location dot on a real map so you know exactly where you are at all times. Switch it on, wait for a couple of minutes and your position is shown as being the centre of the screen. It has never been easier to nd yourself in the great outdoors!

We have over 350 maps to choose from.

The unit is supplied with a world base map, and individual maps are sold separately on SD cards that plug straight into the Active 12. Simple to use, there is no computer or other equipment needed.

As a standalone unit, you are able to plot routes or Objects of Interest at home or whilst exploring the outdoors. The unit is weatherproof with a backlit screen which means it can be used day or night in any weather, with enhanced features such as the Red Filter for night vision and the Sun Filter for use in bright sunlight.

This guide will go through everything you need to know about how to use the Active 12 on version 2.0 software.

2. Care for your Active 12

2.1 Safety & Care Tips:

The Active 12 is purpose-built for the great outdoors, offering a long battery life in a weatherproof and shockproof casing. Although the unit has been built to be rugged and reliable, you should remember that this is a complex electronic device requiring specic care and maintenance.

These tips are intended to provide you with suggestions on getting the most from your Active 12, ensuring you have many years of accurate and reliable GPS and digital map use.

2.2 Battery Charging

When using the Lithium Polymer battery option supplied by Satmap, it is extremely important that you only use Satmap products to charge the battery (i.e. Satmap Wall Charger, Car Charger, etc.) Failure to do so is potentially dangerous, may damage the Active 12, or result in partial or complete loss of warranty.

2.3 Spare Batteries

We recommend that you always carry a set of new / spare batteries, and keep them in a watertight wrapping. Although the Active 12 will give you many hours of use, it can be difcult to keep track of the length of time you have been using the batteries, so it is always good to have a back up.

2.4 Acquiring a Lock / GPS Accuracy

To acquire a satellite lock, the Active 12 should be under open skies, immobile and held upright. When a lock has been acquired, the top left signal icon will change from a red ‘x’ to green or blue crescents, depending on the signal. (Satellite lock times vary).

It is important to remember that the accuracy of any GPS is variable. The GPS system uses triangulation on a constellation of satellites circling the earth to determine a position on the ground. There are a number of factors which can reduce the accuracy of this position information, including poor weather, a limited view of the sky (e.g. in a building, urban/natural canyons, under a thick tree canopy, etc), metallized glass (such as a car windshield), etc. You may also notice a variable performance from one day to the next. This is due to the fact that the position of the satellites relative to the ground can change, resulting is a different triangulation value.

Understanding this variability in the accuracy is important when enjoying outdoor sports in the proximity of dangerous features (e.g. cliffs, marsh, rivers, lakes, etc.) as users must still apply safe practice, be aware of the weather conditions and their own abilities in order to avoid unnecessary risks and dangers.

2.5 Spare Mapping

Although the Active 12 has been designed for use in the great outdoors, carrying a paper map of the area and a compass is always considered good practice.

2.6 Understanding Your Map

Although the Active 12 gives your exact position on a map, it is important that you understand the symbols and notations on the map. If you are unsure about these, you can download them from our website:

2.7 Extreme Weather Care Tips

It is important to remember that the Active 12 unit is weatherproof (not 100% waterproof), which means it can withstand weather conditions such as rain and snow, but is not submergible in water. Rated at IP65, the Active 12 will have no harmful effects from rain and is also dust tight, providing the rubber doors are closed.

Please note the following instructions:

• It is extremely important that all watertight seals (i.e. USB port & SD card slot) are properly closed after use, and in good condition.

• Take care if removing the screen cover while outdoors. Vigorous tugging of the screen cover may temporarily pull the main seal apart, potentially allowing water ingress. Use a soft damp cloth to wipe down the screen in the case of rain or mud splashes, to avoid undue scratching to the plastic.

• Map cards: Do not expose the mapcards to water. They should be kept dry and clean at all times. NEVER insert a damp, wet or dirty map card into the Active 12.

2.8 In extreme weather conditions:

Provide a degree of protection to the unit by either placing in a Satmap Standard or Deluxe Carry Case, or use a Satmap ProShield. Either of these will protect the unit from driving rain.

You can also carry the unit around your neck on the lanyard, keeping it safely underneath a waterproof jacket. This upright position will ensure that any water slides off the unit, without collecting at the base (where water damage might occur if the unit is submerged for periods of time).

• Do not keep the Active 12 in an external waterproof jacket pocket or back pack outer pocket, where there is a risk of a pool of water collecting at the bottom of the pocket and damaging the unit.

• The interior of the unit should not be exposed to water or dust. Avoid changing the batteries or map card whilst exposed to bad weather conditions. With the SD Card door, USB door, or battery back open, the Active 12 will not remain weatherproof. Should water or dust enter the Active 12, do not switch it back on until it has been completely dried out or the dust has been removed.

2.9 In the case of water submersion:

• Once indoors, remove the screen cover, battery back and LiPol battery/AA batteries with battery caddy.

• Wipe down the screen cover with a soft cloth.

• Place the Active 12 and components in a warm, dry place (e.g. on a window sill near a heater or airing cupboard), and let them dry completely.

If you are unsure about any damage to your Active 12, please call our technical team who will be able to give you advice on how to proceed, and if necessary, repair your unit accordingly. (Please refer to satmap.com for your local number).

2.10 Missing/worn parts:

You will need to send your Active 12 back to Satmap for repair if parts have been lost or worn down. Failure to do so may result in partial or complete loss of warranty, as it will no longer be weatherproof.

• Rubber seals: The watertight seal on the USB port and the SD card slot of the Active 12 should always remain properly intact to prevent water leaking into the unit. If either of these seals is lost or damaged, you will need to send your Active 12 back to Satmap for repair.

• Joystick: If your joystick is worn down or ripped, this can cause water to leak into the unit. Please send your Active 12 back to Satmap for repair.

3. Overview

3.1 Battery Power

The Active 12 can be powered by a Lithium Polymer rechargeable battery, or three AA batteries. The rechargeable battery is optimized to last longer over a wide range of temperatures/conditions and lasts signicantly longer than AA's. Since AA batteries vary signicantly in power and life from one type to another, we recommend using Lithium Energizers which are the most powerful on the market. It is not advisable to use cheap batteries in the unit as they will have a short life.

There are 4 ways to conserve power:

1. Select a ‘Screen Turn Off’ option

Settings > Power Control > Automatic Screen Turn Off > Select ‘Off after 3 minutes’

2. Change the Power Saving Mode to

Advanced, so the GPS MAP screen updates

every 4 seconds instead of every second.

Settings > Advanced Power Control > Power Saving Mode > Advanced

Note: The "Trail Up" facility is disabled when in Advanced Powersaving Mode, and backlight is limited to 80%.

3. Decrease the Backlight setting

Settings > Backlight (adjust slider accordingly)

4. Use Hibernate Mode to set an ultra low

power state and rapid satellite acquisition.

Power Button > Hibernate for X hours

Note: Trip log data is not stored in this mode.

On / Off / Lock

Button

Keyboard Lock

Power Off screen for

Hibernate options

3.2 Switching On, Off & Hibernate

When rst installed, the software allows users to select the operating language. Whatever language is selected, the unit is then set for the appropriate GPS position: i.e. selecting English sets up the GPS default to Great Britain.

After switching on the unit, the GPS STATUS screen will load up. The bars at the bottom of the screen indicate how many satellites are in range of the Active 12.

When the bars turn from yellow to orange this shows that the unit has locked to that specic satellite. In general, the unit needs a minimum of four satellites to get a lock. Outdoors, the unit should get a lock within three minutes. If it takes much longer, please contact Satmap. Hibernate mode allows rapid satellite lock as the unit remembers the satellites’ position.

To switch the unit off, press the On/Off button and a Power Off? screen is displayed in order to prevent accidental switch-off; select Power

Off. Your data will be saved before power off. If

no selection is made after 10 seconds the unit will revert to the previous screen.

Hibernate mode puts the unit into a very

low power state, but keeps the real-time clock alive. This permits a very quick boot-up time & fast satellite lock when the power button is re-pressed.

3.3 Keyboard Lock

The Power Off? screen has a padlock (Keypad Lock) icon by the On/Off button. Press the On/

Off button to lock the keypad. A padlock icon is

displayed by the battery indicator.

To unlock the keypad press any button and the

Unlock screen will be displayed. Select Yes to

unlock the keypad. If no selection is made after 3 seconds the unit will revert to the previous screen.

3.4 Map Card Insertion

The map card door is hinged at the bottom and opens from the top downwards. When inserting the card please ensure that the label is facing you with the arrow pointing inwards.

You can make an SD card write-protected by moving the switch on the side of the card down (saves from accidental deletion of les).

3.5 Base Mapping

The Active 12 is supplied with a world base map at 1:5m up to 1:200m (and in addition for UK customers, a 1:1 m & 1:250k scale UK road map). Once a map card has been inserted, you can zoom through the base mapping to see more detail. If you have a toggleable map, you can switch between different map layers at a particular point on the same zoom level, e.g. you can ip between the two scales (1:50k and 1:25k) and the base map.

3.6 Battery Indicator & Stop/Record Icon

The battery indicator is solid for new or fully charged batteries. As the charge decreases it is broken into four bars which then reduce. When a single bar remains, it is coded red. After some further time (depending on the power source and activity), an on-screen warning alerts that the unit will power off in 30 seconds and a countdown is shown.

If you are using the rechargeable LiPol battery (section 20.03), the battery indicator shows a lightning ash whilst charging. You will need to disconnect the unit from the power supply to check if the battery indicator is fully charged,

i.e. solid.

Next to the battery indicator is the Stop/

Record icon, indicating that data logging

is either paused or recording. This can be accessed on the TRIP LOG screen. When the unit has a lock, the record icon has a solid green arrowhead. The record icon is shown as ‘empty’ when there is no lock. A red pause symbol indicates data logging is paused.

3.7 'PLANNING' Mode

Moving the joystick changes the screen from the GPS MAP screen to the PLANNING screen. The blue circle (location icon) will move away from the middle of the screen as you control the joystick to move the map. A visual cue that you are in planning mode is the orange locator circle which has longer crosshairs. In PLANNING mode you can plan routes via the Routes Menu, study the map using the joystick to pan across the map, and set a GoTo point/Marker/POI.

3.8 SatSYNC

(Refer to SatSYNC User Guide)

SatSYNC is a free software available for download from satmap.com. It allows you to connect your Active 12 to a computer via a standard USB connection. With this software you can upload/download routes, Objects of Interest, and geotag photos. These les can then be shared via e-mail or forums (e.g. Satmap Route Share Network) or viewed on a computer-based mapping system (e.g. Satmap-Xpedition Online Route Planner and Google Earth), compatible with a number of

supported formats. The Satmap-Xpediton allows the download of pre-planned routes, the upload of routes for editing, and the printing of a paper version of the route to take as back-up when outdoors.

To view your trail recorded by the Active 12 on a computer:

1. You will need to Export your converted

track. Once you have nished your walk,

Stop the Trip Log.

2. On the TRIP LOG screen press

Menu > Convert Trail to Track

3. Connect the Active 12 to a computer via a

USB and open SatSYNC.

4. Select the converted track (.map le, e.g.

2010-06-24_1502 167km.map) and press

Export to copy to your desktop as a .gpx

or .kmz le.

5. Import the le to your computer mapping

system (e.g. Online Route Planner and Google Earth).

Note: Moving the joystick in the GPS MAP screen will take you into PLANNING mode. To avoid this, lock your keypad.

A successful satellite lock (a ‘x’) is indicated at the top left of the screen by the red cross changing to a green signal icon. The number of green crescents denotes the signal strength. A weak lock is indicated by a single crescent plus a ‘2D’ caption.

The unit is EGNOS/WAAS enabled. This means users in Europe and North America are able to benet from ‘differential’ GPS when one of the EGNOS/WAAS satellites is in view. When this service is available, the green signal crescents turn blue and accuracy is enhanced.

Your position is shown as a blue dot in the centre of the screen. Once moving, a pointer appears on the blue circle, indicating the current direction of travel. As you move, a snail trail of red dots is laid down, indicating the path you have taken, as long as you have started the trip log. To change the red trail dot size may changed in the Settings Menu.

The Active 12 logs your position once every second. The rate at which red dots are displayed depends on the map scale and the speed of travel. Dots are laid down so an appropriate distance is rendered between them to create a clear track. A power saving option (in Advanced Power Control), allows screen data to be set to update once every 4 seconds.

4.1.1 GPS MAP Screen

For best results in achieving a satellite lock;

• The Active 12 should be pointed at clear sky. The unit can also acquire a lock through glass, i.e. windows/car windshield.

• Getting a GPS whilst moving may take longer. From a cold start, very large MapCard may slow the GPS lock time slightly.

• To see the progress og the GPS lock set the screen to GPS STATUS using the Primary

Screens button.

The primary purpose of the "GPS Map" screen is to display your own location in the centre of the screen (blue circle) and the mapping around you.

4.1.2 Toggleable Maps

Map toggling is a feature available on all Active 12's. Toggle-enabled MapCards allow you to switch between different map layers at a particular point on the same zoom level. For example, you can ip between the two scales (1:50k and 1:25k) and the Base Map. It is also possible to toggle between different map types and map providers.

If a toggle-enabled MapCard is loaded, a mini toggle symbol appears next to the

Stop/Record icon on the GPS screen in the

status bar, indicating the map inserted can be toggled. This enables the toggle maps button on the left.

Note: Not all maps are toggleable. Look for the toggle icon or logo on all of our toggle-enabled products. The toggle function can also be added to existing map cards (see satmap.com for further details on this service).

Getting Started:

• Insert your SD card. This will load your Map

Packs screen.

• Use the joystick to ip between maps, and select View Map to access the desired GPS

MAP screen.

• To access the Map Packs screen at any point, centre press the joystick (or page forward on the Primary Screens to POSITION INFO) and select Map Packs using the lower lefthand side button.

Toggle between maps by pressing the upper left-hand side button (Toggle maps) and switch seamlessly between different maps without having to zoom in or out.

Please note: Most detailed maps have a "ceiling", and will disappear from the screen when zoomed out above this ceiling. This is intentional, as the map detail would be too small to observe clearly. If no other maps are available for toggling, the Toggle icon will disappear.

4.2 Primary Screen 2: PLANNING

To access PLANNING screen

(GPS MAP → PLANNING, via joystick nudge)

The PLANNING screen is accessed from the

GPS MAP screen by moving the joystick away

from your current location (blue location icon).

The PLANNING screen displays a planning

icon (orange circle with a small black cross)

as soon as you move the joystick away from your current location. Instead of a blue dot, a small black cross is shown in the centre. From the edges of the orange planning icon radiate crosshairs as an additional visual cue that you are in PLANNING mode rather than GPS MAP mode. The orange planning icon stays in place as you use the joystick to move the map.

The POSITION INFO screen may be accessed from the PLANNING screen by centre pressing the joystick, or by pressing the bottom right Primary Screens button.

When a map is loaded, the PLANNING screen shows a central default location for that particular map.

There is a data box overlay which shows;

• Grid reference – format options are given in

GPS Settings / Position Display Format

option).

• Altitude for this location – elevation above sea

level, obtained from base maps (UK) or from map cards (non-UK).

• Distance from your last known location, i.e.

where you last acquired a GPS lock. This is useful as a ‘rangender’.

• Bearing from your last known location – format options given in Compass Settings.

Note: This data overlay is not congurable by the user, unlike the 2-Data Box and 4-Data Box layouts available on the GPS MAP screen.

When the crosshairs are moved over an OOI or a route, an OOI/route indicator icon appears at the bottom of the screen. Centre pressing the joystick brings up further information via the 'Choose Information

(TRIP LOG → Menu → Convert Trail to Track)

When a route has been completed the (snail) trail can be saved for reference, future use, or for swapping with others on the Route Share Network. Select the Convert Trail to Track option to convert the snail trail of red dots into a track.

Waypoints will automatically be added at key points on the map. As these are computer generated, the positions should be checked and where appropriate, amended to ensure they are practical from a user’s point of view. When the track has been created, this can be viewed on the unit in the Routes Menu, or can be shared using the SatSYNC program (free download from www.satmap.com).

The terms trail, route and track are used to describe different stages of a recorded route:

Trail: The path that has been taken, shown as a

series of red dots (‘snail trail’).

Route: The planned path users intend to take. It

has waypoints laid down at key turning points, and can be created on the unit, or on a mapping system such as the Online Route Planner, Google Earth etc.

Track: The snail trail that has been saved and

converted to a track. It is called a track to differentiate it from a route. A track is a route derived from a recorded snail trial, and can still be found in the Routes Menu like a route. A track is likely to have many more waypoints

than a pre-planned route, and consequently the les will be larger.

Note: At the bottom of the elevation prole screen there is a list of all the trip data attached to each waypoint on the route.

4.4.3 Convert Trail to LOI/AOI

This feature is only available on SatSYNC. After using one of the Convert Trail to Track options, you can export the track as a .GPX or .KMZ le to your computer. This can be imported back as an LOI/AOI by selecting the appropriate import settings in SatSYNC. (Please refer to the SatSYNC 1.5 User Guide for more information).

Note: KMZ/KML les give enhanced features on Google Earth. GPX les are better for the Online Route Planner/Route Share Network.

4.4.4 Geotag Photos with Trip Log Data

This feature is only available on SatSYNC. Photos are labeled or 'tagged' indicating where they were taken. Date/time information from your camera is synchronized with the GPS local time. After recording your trip log data, it can be used to geotag your photos via SatSYNC. This adds longitude and latitude information to the photos, which can then be viewed in the correct location on Google Earth or similar applications. This allows you and other to see where the pictures were taken.

(Please refer to the SatSYNC 1.5 User Guide to nd out more on how to use the geotagging application within SatSYNC to geotag your photos).

4.8 Primary Screen 8: GPS STATUS

Access GPS STATUS screen

(GPS MAP/PLANNING → POSITION INFO → TRIP LOG → MAIN MENU → COMPASS → SHARED DATA → GPS STATUS)

This is the screen that is rst displayed when switching on the unit (unless there is already a map card inserted in which case the unit will briey show the Map Packs screen.

The elliptical diagram represents the sky above you where North is the top of the ellipse. Satellites visible to the unit are allocated numbers and also shown on the bar chart. Yellow bars indicate the unit can see a satellite. The bars change to orange when the unit has acquired a lock. There are also indications of Signal to Noise Ratio (Av SNR and Max SNR).

Before acquiring a lock, details of your last known position, with time, date, and grid reference are shown at the top of the screen. (Grid reference format options are given in

GPS Settings, ‘Position Display Format’).

Once you have a lock, your current coordinates and elevation are shown. As a guide, a

minimum of four satellites are needed to

acquire a lock.

To access the GPS STATUS screen from the

GPS MAP screen, keep pressing the Primary Screens button (front right button) until you

reach the GPS STATUS screen.

The signal indicator (either red cross or green signal icon) indicates the strength of signal received by the unit. The GPS indicator caption at the bottom of the screen either says ‘Acquiring GPS’ or gives accuracy to within a certain distance.

If the unit is receiving a poor signal e.g. under wet tree canopy, it may only be able to give two dimensional data, i.e. no elevation data. Under these circumstances the elevation caption at the top right of the screen will show ‘2D’ instead of an elevation gure. The signal received icon at the top left will also show a single green crescent plus ‘2D’.

6.4 Bluetooth

(MAIN MENU → Settings → Bluetooth)

This Active 12 carries a Bluetooth 4.0 module (also known as Bluetooth Smart), which has two bands: Classic (which handles route data transfer between Active 12's) and Low Energy (LE, which handles tness sensor data, e.g. Heart Rate and Cadence Monitors).

The SETTING/Bluetooth buttons have the following functions:

Joystick Left/Right will turn Bluetooth On &

Off. When turned On, the BT Icon on the status bar should ash as the unit search for other devices. Data transfer and tness sensor data will not function whilst Bluetooth is turned off.

Bluetooth Devices will display all Bluetooth

enable devices that are nearby (Classic & Low Energy).

Done returns you to the SETTINGS screen.

Shared Data hops to the SHARED DATA

screen which allows you to see and fetch other Active 12 users' route data.

Cancel will cancel the operation and return you

to the SETTINGS menu.

Map returns to the GPS MAP/PLANNING

screens.

Back will go back to the previous that you were

on.

BLUETOOTH SCREEN. This screen allows

you to see local devices - and connect to Low Energy sensors.

Shared Data, as above, hops to the SHARED

DATA screen.

Refresh, kicks off a Bluetooth refresh scan to

look for new devices nearby. In this version of the software, previously identied Active 12's and LE devices will be displayed. The blue bars on the right hand side of the screen indicate signal strength. Typically 5 bars indicate a range of 1m and 1 bar approx. 10m.

Turn Bluetooth Off, does exactly that, and

returns to the main SETTINGS screen. At this point any connected LE devices will disconnect, and Bluetooth data sharing and data logging will cease.

to two types of tness sensors: Heart Rate Monitors (HRM), and bike Speed & Cadence sensors (Sp/Cad).

Sensors. Bluetooth Smart

sensors are optional extras for the Active 12 GPS units. They can be purchased from the Satmap website, or from other outlets.

Please Note; Currently Satmap

has partnered with the "Wahoo" brand for these tness sensors. When selecting other brands, please ensure that they support the Bluetooth 4.0 "Smart" and "Smart Ready" proles. The Active 12 does not support the ANT+ prole.

Connecting Step 1. Ensure

that your sensors is activated. For HRM, this is typically done by putting the strap around your chest. For bike Sp/Cad sensors, typically by spinning the wheel or pedals.

Connecting Step 2. Providing

the sensor is in range and activated, the Active should "see" it on the Bluetooth devices screen. If not, please press Refresh and the name of sensor should appear, in the example right: "Wahoo HRM v2.1". Use the joy stick to cursor up and

down to your desired sensor device. Either press the Select button, or centre press the joystick and a black tick will indicate that the sensor has been "Selected".

Please Note; Bluetooth allows

only one of each type of sensor to be selected at any one time. You can have a HRM and a Sp/

Cad sensor selected, but not two HRM's.

Connecting Step 3. Wait for a

short period and the black tick should turn blue. This indicates that your selected LE device has now "connected" and sensor data can be collected. During the connection process, the BT icon on the status bar should ash blue/grey and then turn solid blue when the connection is made.

Troubleshooting.

Very occasionally Bluetooth can be temperamental! If a connection is not made on the rst attempt - deselect the BT LE device, check that your sensor is activated and in range, and then reselect the device. Failing that, turn the Bluetooth fully off, then back on again, and reattempt the connection process. If that continues to fail, please connect Satmap support.

6. MAIN MENU: Settings Menu (... cont)

Connecting Step 4. Once a

blue "connected" tick has been observed, you sensor will then pass data to the Active 12. This data may then be displayed in the 2 & 4 data boxes that appear on the GPS MAP screen. To set this up, you will need to select SETTINGS / 2/4 BoxLayout and the HRM data item (20.HRM).

Data Types : HRM. Heart rate

data is displayed as "beats per second". Future editions of software will display Heart Rate Zones, and the such like.

Data Types : Cadence. This is a

measure of the pedal revolutions per second on a bike.

Data Types : Wheel Speed.

In addition to using speed calculated by GPS position movement, cyclist often use "wheel speed" as a reliable backup. This is especially useful if a GPS lock is difcult for any reasons (e.g. very thick woodland or the urban jungle).

Sensor data displayed

Set up for Wheel Speed.

This relies on a default value for the wheel circumference, which is then multiplied by the wheel revolutions output from the sensor. The default setting is 2,096mm, and this can be changed in the SETTINGS / Cycling screen. Use the joystick to navigate the numbers and set the values.

Data Output. HRM and cadence

data will be stored on the Active

12. After your activity, save your data for later upload. This is done via the TRIPLOG / Menu / Convert options. Your data containing the HRM and cadence values will be stored in a TCX le (e.g. MyRoute1.tcx). You will be able to see these les when you use the SatSYNC PC application to upload your data.

About TCX les. This is an

industry standard format that is accepted by a wide variety of 3rd party activity storing and sharing web sites. These TCX les can contain location and speed data, along with a wide variety of tness related data items.

6.5 Elevation

(MAIN MENU / Settings /Elevation)

Overview. The Active 12 gives you

3 options for calculating elevation values. All are useful, but they do have some pros and cons.

Elevation from Maps. Each map

is supplied with a "height data set" that provides spot heights at regular horizontal intervals (post spacing). Typically these are between 50m-100m. This method works well when the ground is less steep, with fewer cliffs around.

Elevation from GPS. This method

uses height data supplied by the GPS itself, and works best when there is a good, unobstructed view of a large portion of the sky. The data can be quite variable in forests and amongst tall buildings.

Elevation from Pressure. The

highly accurate barometric altimeter can be used to assist with elevation calculations, and uses the principle that pressure falls as elevation rises. It is especially useful over short periods of time where the weather is relatively stable, since pressure also generally falls when bad weather is approaching.

Setting "Elevation" source. Data

that is stored for later upload has a single set of elevation data. You can control this by setting its source. Select Elevation from the SETTINGS screen. The top box indicates the Elevation data source and can be changed by moving the joystick left and right (when it is highlighted by the orange background). A selection can be made between "Elevation from Maps, GPS or Pressure". The rst two settings require no further action - just press Done, Back or Map to continue with the GPS use.

Setting Elevation from Pressure.

To work effectively, elevation from the barometric altimeter needs to be calibrated at intervals. This is because changing weather would otherwise affect the elevation reading.

Altimeter Calibration: Auto. On this

setting the Altimeter is recalibrated against the Map elevation every 2 hours (by default). This is a good setting for normal use and requires no further user input.

Info Box:

"Last Successful Calibration." If

a long time has elapsed since the last calibration, the accuracy may have drifted due to weather change:

Select "Elevation" from SETTINGS

Select Elevation data source

Select Recalibration frequency

Auto calibration setting

6. MAIN MENU: Settings Menu (... cont)

it would be wise to recalibrate the device as described below.

Auto Recalibrate Frequency. The

left / right joystick function can be used to toggle the recalibrate time interval between 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 hours.

"Calibrate Now" button will calibrate

the local pressure against your current Map Elevation, and record the date and time for future reference.

Manual Calibration. Should you

wish to have more control over the recalibration of the altimeter, select "Manual" using the joystick, and then

Select.

Method 1: Map/GPS Elevation. This

will simply use the Map elevation for calibration (or GPS height data for no map data is available).

Method 2: Known Elevation. This

allows you to enter you own known elevation for a precise calibration. Typically you might be at a Trig Point or a map location where you are sure of the exact height. Use the joystick to scroll through and set the values.

Viewing Elevation Data. On the

GPS MAP screen the Data Boxes

can be used to view your elevation data. It is even possible to select all 3 types of elevation data for comparison, however, only one set of elevation data can be saved in the TRIP LOG for display and upload.

6.6 Backlight

(MAIN MENU → Settings → Backlight)

The Backlight setting is used to control the brightness of the GPS screen. It has signicant impact on the battery life and is therefore recommended that you choose a setting which you nd comfortable, not necessarily the brightest.

Filter Options:

Within the Backlight settings you will nd options for ltering your screen. These include options for use at night and in strong sunlight:

• Red Filter: for night vision

Press the Red Filter button for night use to preserve your night vision. This adds a red tint to your screen so your eyes are protected from viewing a bright screen in the dark.

To preserve night vision, use a low level setting. Below 10%, the scale goes down in steps of 2%. (Some text may become

illegible using the red lter with a backlight setting below 10%).

Select Sun Filter, then Normal to return to the daylight screen.

• Sun Filter: for strong sunlight

Press the Red Filter button to access the

Sun Filter option. This gives your screen a

higher contrast and increases the levels of red, green and blue, so it is easier to view your map in very bright sunlight.

Note: With the Sun Filter your screen loses some intricate map details in order to enhance the visibility of the map in sunlight.

Select Normal to return to the daylight screen.

The Red Filter, Sun Filter and Backlight level can be used in combination to suit your individual needs.

• Use the joystick, moving left/right to select the desired level.

• Press Done or centre press the joystick to return to SETTINGS MENU.

Pressing the Default button restores the following setting: 90%

6.13 Calibrate Compass

(GPS MAP → MAIN MENU → Settings → Calibrate Compass)

Ideally you should calibrate your compass before every trip to get the most accurate bearings.

When the ‘Calibration Required’ prompt is displayed at the bottom of the COMPASS screen, go to the Settings menu and select

Calibrate Compass. Follow the on-screen

instructions. Press Cancel to return to the

SETTINGS MENU.

Note: This screen may also be accessed from the COMPASS screen.

1) Hold GPS level

2) Press Start

3) Turn device around in TWO full circles (720 degrees)

4) Press Stop when completed turning or

Cancel to quit.

An on-screen message ‘Keep turning’ is replaced with ‘Completed. Press Stop’.

Note: When in motion it is better to use the GPS compass over the electronic compass. The GPS compass requires forward motion to provide a heading; it will not work when static. See GPS Settings (section 7.09) to control when the GPS compass overrides the electronic compass at a preset speed: 'GPS

Used as Heading at'.

Calibrating on a bike

The electronic compass is affected when brought into proximity with metal objects. This means that once the GPS unit has been mounted onto the handlebars of a bike, it should be re-calibrated.

To do this follow the instructions exactly as you would if the unit were in your hands. When asked to turn the compass in two full circles (720°), you should pick up the bike with the unit and rotate it as indicated.

When subsequently removed and used for walking, a further recalibration is required.

It should also be re-calibrated when a different battery type is inserted, due to the varying metal content from one battery type to the next.

6.18 Cycling

(GPS MAP → MAIN MENU → Settings → Cycling)

Introduction - The Bluetooth wireless

connectivity allows for the connection of Bluetooth Smart bike speed and cadence sensor units (sold separately). Bike speed is calculated directly from the wheels, while "cadence" is calculated from the pedal revolutions. Generally, the speed data given by the GPS will adequate for most purposes, however, in certain conditions (thickly wooded areas and near tall buildings) the wheel speed data (for bike riders) will give a nore stable and accurate reading.

Sensor Unit - Sends back "wheel revolutions

per second" data. To turn this into speed data it needs to be multiplied by the circumference of the bike wheel being used.

Set Wheel Circumference in mm - The

default setting is 2096mm, which is generally good for most road bike (700C) wheels, but will need to be adjusted for other types of bikes with different size wheels and tyres.

Wheel size? - If you are unsure of your wheel

size, you can either measure this directly, or refer to the bike manufacturer's documentation.

Set in mm - In this edition of the software

the wheel size needs to be entered in mm, although speed can be displayed in metric or imperial.

A route is classied as being 'nearby' if any of the three conditions are true:

• The cursor is within it's bounding area (a square or rectangle which covers ALL the points in a route).

• The centre of the bounding area is nearby as dened above for OOI reference points.

• The start point of the route is nearby as dened above for OOI reference points.

10. MAIN MENU: OOI Menu (Objects of Interest)

10.1 OOI Menu

(GPS MAP → MAIN MENU → OOI Menu)

OOIs are Objects Of Interest and collectively refer to all 'points' of interest. They consist of the following 'objects':

• POIs (Points of Interest)

• AOIs (Areas of Interest)

• LOIs (Lines of Interest)

• Grids

• IOIs (Items of Interest)

OOIs can contain a description with rich text

and pictures, both of which can only be added

via SatSYNC 1.5 or higher. These can be retrieved from third party applications such as geocaching.com, Google Maps, Google Earth etc.

Note: OOIs created on the unit can only have a description with simple plain text. The only OOIs that will work on software versions 1.4 and lower are POIs with plain or rich text.

The OOI Menu shows options for managing and creating all OOIs:

• List All OOIs

• Visibility - All On

• Visibility - All Off

• Visibility - Default

• Add POI by Map

• Add POI by Grid Ref

• Add AOI by Map

• Add LOI by Map

• Add Grid by Map

14. Grids

14.1 Grids Overview

Grids consist of a group of square-shaped

AOIs in a large square/grid formation. They allow you to overlay a square grid/table onto the map. Grids are used to split an area into searchable chunks. For example, search and rescue teams can use grids for rescue missions. Other examples of uses include ornithology (bird watching), archaeology, forestry, crime surveying, etc.

Each grid consists of 100 AOIs (or squares), i.e. 10 across and 10 down. Each AOI is 300m x 300m. The grid follows a default naming convention and individual AOIs can be renamed individually (section 17.05). As you zoom into the map, the name of the AOI appears in each square. Moving the locator circle over individual squares shows the name of the AOI in the top right-hand corner.

Rows are labelled AA, AB, AC, etc... and columns are labelled 1, 2, 3, etc... so a square or individual AOI can be referred to as “AA3” or “AB2”. (To avoid confusion with the number 1,

the letter 'I' has been omitted).

You are able to change the colour and pattern of individual AOIs just like a regular AOI. The grid appears on the PLANNING screen once created. More than one grid can be placed on the map. Visibility can only be set for individual AOIs, not for the entire grid.

14.2 Add Grid Screen

15. IOIs (Items of Interest)

15.1 IOIs (Items of Interest) Overview

IOIs are Items of Interest and are non georeferenced documents. They include digital information that can be saved on the unit, such as a graphic showing information about a species of a bird or ower. They can also be used to reference instructions, e.g. how to make a camp re or rst aid tips.

An IOI is not necessarily assigned to a specic point on the map. (If the item was plotted against a specic point on the map, it would be a POI). An IOI contains no latitude or longitude data. It can be created directly on the unit as a simple text description, and details of the IOI are shown on the description screen.

Note: If you want to add graphics or more detailed information, you are able to create an IOI on your computer and import it to your unit via SatSYNC. (Please refer to the SatSYNC 1.5 User Guide provided on the CD or downloadable from satmap.com). This employs the use of a tab delimited plain text le containing OOI data in different columns and is used for creating routes, POIs, AOIs, LOIs, as well as IOIs.

15.2 Add an IOI

(GPS MAP → MAIN MENU → OOI Menu → Add IOI)

To create an IOI, highlight the Add IOI option from the OOI Menu and press Select or centre press the joystick. This will take you straight to the keypad to prompt you to rename your IOI.

When an IOI is created it is called 'IOI 1' by default (or similar, depending on the number

of existing OOIs). Use the joystick to rename your IOI and then press Done when complete.

The Edit Description screen appears and this is where you can add a brief description using the keypad. This information is shown in the IOI. Pressing Done takes you back to the

OOI Menu. To view your IOI, go to the OOI Folders.

15.3 Add IOI in a Specic Folder

(MAIN MENU → OOI Menu → OOI Folders → specic folder → nal subfolder → Back → Add IOI)

This will add the IOI to the last visited folder.

Note: Folders are created using SatSYNC and must contain at least one OOI or route to be visible on the unit. (See SatSYNC User Guide for more information).

15.4 IOI Details Screen

(GPS MAP → MAIN MENU → OOI Menu → OOI Folders → Select IOI → Show Details)

This screen shows the description included in the IOI and is titled by the current IOI name. Graphics and more detailed information created on a computer and imported onto the unit can be viewed on this screen. (See

SatSYNC 1.5 User Guide).

An IOI contains information that is for reference only. Therefore there are no options to adjust visibility as an IOI does not appear on the map, and no date or time 'stamp' is shown.

18.2 World Base Map

The World Map is derived from data supplied by Collins Bartholomew. At 1:30 million you get an overview of the world and once you have zoomed down to 1:5 million you will be able to see the major roads, towns and cities in every country. Such details provide a useful backdrop when you are using the Active 12 internationally. If you do not have the World Base Map on your unit (applicable to earlier units), it is available as an upgrade.

20. Tips

• For the best performance in acquiring a satellite lock: Wait until a lock is established

before inserting a map card. The GPS should be under open skies, immobile and held upright. When a lock has been acquired, the top left signal icon will change from a red ‘x’ to green or blue crescents, depending on the signal. (Satellite lock times vary). The Active 12 can acquire a lock on the move, e.g. whilst driving. However, this can cause a delay in the time to get a lock.

• Calibrate compass before use: Before you

use the Active 12 compass, make sure you have calibrated it rst by going to Main Menu

> Settings > Calibrate Compass (section

7.13).

• To prevent the screen switching from GPS MAP to PLANNING: Either lock the

screen (section 3.02), or allow it to go into the powersave screen off mode before stowing it away.

• To maximize battery life: Refer to section

3.00 for tips on how to conserve battery

power. If you want to carry out route planning on your Active 12, connect it to your computer as a good way to get more out of your batteries.

• Take out the batteries when not using the Active 12: Even when switched off the

unit draws some power, which over time can drain the batteries.

• Recording your trip log: Remember to use

the Stop (data logging) button (section 6.03) if you take a break and want to maintain a log of all trip statistics. Don’t forget to press

Start once you are ready to go again. If you

remain stationary for a longer period of time without pausing (Stop), the data logging/trip statistics will be inaccurate.

• Make a back-up le copy of any maps

that you purchase: A back-up may be done

either using an SD card reader or SD card slot on your computer. If your map card data is corrupted or erased, copy the le back onto the original card. Data transferred to a different card will not be usable.

• Use a GoTo point as a rangender: Set a GoTo point on your destination to calculate

the straight line distance from your current location to the GoTo point (section 19.00).

• Use SatSYNC to manage les: Upload/

download routes and OOIs from your computer to your unit by using our free SatSYNC software (download available from our website). You can transfer all sorts of GPS data les from your computer to your Active 12, e.g. .map, .kml, gpx, .loc, geocaching les, tab delimited text les etc. (Refer to section 3.07 or the SatSYNC user guide for more information).

• To set the time on your unit: Go to MAIN

MENU > Settings > Time offset and move

the joystick to select the appropriate hour differential (+/- GMT).

• To quickly setup a route on your unit:

Go to GPS MAP > POSITION INFO via

centre press > Create New Route. Plot in

your waypoints using the directional joystick and press Done.

• To quickly setup a POI on your unit:

Go to GPS MAP or PLANNING > POSITION

INFO via centre press > Add POI. Name

the POI using the keypad and press Done. Select an icon from the POI icon selection screen and press Done.

21. Troubleshooting

• If your unit fails to recognize a map card:

Switch off the unit and remove the card. Switch the unit on again and re-insert the card. Also be sure to check you are on the latest version of software (download available from our website).

• If your screen ickers: Wait 10 minutes

or so and it should stop. Some ickering is normal and happens when using a strong power source such as when using the supplied AA Lithium Energizers (the most powerful AA batteries on the market).

• If water gets under the screen cover:

Remove the cover and gently wipe away the moisture with a soft cloth. Any direct hand pressure may mark the inner screen. (Refer to section 2.06 for more tips on how to care for your unit).

• 'Snail trail' is not displaying: Make sure you

have a GPS lock and the trip log is recording

(TRIP LOG > Start). Check the snail trail is on

by going to GPS MAP > POSITION INFO via

centre press > Turn Trail On. Here you can

also adjust the size of the dots.

• Software has been upgraded but is still showing old version: Ensure that

Hibernate Timeout is turned off (MAIN

MENU > Settings > Advanced Power Control > Hibernate Timeout). Press the Power

Off button and select Yes to switch the unit

off. Switch the unit back on and check the software has been installed by going to

MAIN MENU > Settings > About.

• Unit is slow/freezing: Make sure you have

the latest version of the software (download available from our website). It is a good idea to reset the trip log, (TRIP LOG >

Menu > Reset All) as it uses up memory

on your unit. Make sure you back up any data beforehand. You can also reset all the settings to the factory default (MAIN MENU

> Settings > Default > Yes).

(multiple maps can be on one SD card).

Active route. Shown as a highlighted yellow or

blue line to follow on the map with red arrows between waypoints.

AOI. An Area of Interest. Consists of a series

of points making up an area of any size or shape. Can be used to measure an area on a map, mark various areas of interest, or as an alternative to the circular POI warning radius.

Arbitrary reference point (for AOIs/LOIs/Grids)

• When using the Centre on Map

button

This reference point can be moved to any new location by using the

Edit Location by Map

option.

Asc. Abbreviation for ascended height.

When a signal is available (which is only in the south of England and mainland Europe), this signal improves the accuracy of signals from the GPS system.

Electronic compass. Uses magnetic elds to

calculate accurate compass bearings whilst stationary.

ETA. Estimated Time of Arrival. The ETA is

calculated from the average moving speed if it is available (see Trip Log). Otherwise the set speed is used. For example if you have no lock

but the unit previously recorded an average moving speed which has not been cleared from the trip log, the ETA will be based on this average moving speed.

Explorer. 1:25 000 Ordnance Survey map.

Galileo. A planned global navigation satellite

system, being built by the European Union and European Space Agency as an alternative for the US Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian GLONASS system. The project is expected to be completed in 2013.

Geocaching. An outdoor treasure hunt activity

using a GPS to locate hidden containers, ('geocaches'). Often called a "game of hightech hide and seek", coordinates, along with other details of the location, are posted online. Download les onto your computer from geocaching.com and use SatSYNC to import them to the Active 12.

magnetic compass. Magnetic North moves slowly and is currently West of Grid North in Great Britain.

Marker. A red ag on the map from which you

can measure distance and bearing from any other point on the map.

Meridian. A line of longitude.

MGRS. Military Grid Reference System, used

by NATO countries. It is derived from the UTM grid system but uses a different labelling convention. It does not describe a point, but rather an area.

Mil-radians. The military use mil-radians (short

for milli-radians) because breaking down a circle into 6400 mil-radians rather than 360 degrees allows greater accuracy.

depending on the screen displayed.

Target speed. The speed on which Estimated

Time of Arrival calculations are based if there is no GPS lock, or there is a GPS lock and you are stationary.

Toggle function. Allows users to select which

map they want to view at a particular point without changing the zoom level. Only possible if you have a toggle-enabled map card with map layers of the same area.

Toggleable maps. Map cards that have been

toggle-enabled, i.e. contain more than one scale or map type of a particular area, and can therefore be used with the toggle function. Toggle-enabled map cards are available from our website. Older maps can also be converted to enable toggling via the Toggleable Map Service.
