Battery Compartment Cover Auxiliary Mount Alignment Slots 3 GPSmap 60CS Getting Started Initialization & the Satellite Page Starting Up the GPS Receiver When you turn on the GPSmap 60CS, the GPS receiver begins to search for satellites in order to determine (fix) its location. This process is called "initialization" and can take from 5 to 15 minutes the first time you use your unit. Thereafter, if you haven't moved more than 600 miles from your original location, it takes only seconds to minutes. In order to receive satellite signals, you must be outdoors and have a clear view of the sky. Satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass) or dense overhead tree cover. To shorten the time required for this first initialization, select "New Location" from the options menu, then you can use the Panning Arrow on the Map Page to determine your general location so the GPSmap 60CS can search for just those satellites above your position. To initialize your GPSmap 60CS: 1. Press and release the POWER key to turn on the unit. 2. Observe the "Power On" Page followed by the Satellite Page. 3. While the GPS receiver is searching for the satellite signals, a "Locating Satellites" message followed by an "Acquiring Satellites" appears, until enough satellites signals are acquired to fix its location. If the unit cannot get a satellite fix, a list of solutions display. Highlight the most applicable and press ENTER. You will also see a sky view array of the satellites overhead with your position centered in the array. The outer circle represents the horizon and the inner circle a position 45o from the horizon. The numbers displayed indicate the number assigned to each satellite. A bar graph at the bottom of the page displays the strength of signals from each satellite. The GPSmap 60CS locates satellites above its position The Heading Bug indicates your direction of movement. Options Menu GPS Elevation display Satellite Page Acquiring Satellite Signals 4 GPSmap 60CS Getting Started 4. When the receiver has signals from at least three satellites, the display at the top of the page changes to indicate position accuracy and location coordinates. The Status Bar at the top of the display indicates the GPS status and status of other features. If, for any reason, you have difficulty initializing your GPSmap 60CS, the solution could be as simple as moving slightly to avoid objects that are blocking or deflecting the satellite signals. 5. Press and Release the PAGE key until the Map Page is displayed. You are now ready to begin GPS aided navigation. Active Navigation is supported by three of the Main Pages: Initialization & The Satellite Page Map Item Details Position Arrow Map Scale The Map Page graphically shows you map details, your current location, marks your route to a destination with a route line, and leaves a trail (track log) of where you've been. The Compass Page indicates direction to go and direction of travel. The Trip Computer Page records and displays travel data. There are three methods of navigating to a destination when using the GPSmap 60CS', each graphically displayed on the Map Page. Go To - A direct path to a selected destination (waypoint, city, address, etc.). Track - A previous path of travel that has been stored (logged) in the GPSmap 60CS. A Track allows you to retrace a path or return on the path. Route - A path to a destination consisting of intermediate stops along the way (waypoints, cities, exits, points of interest, intersections, etc.). Refer to the sections on Tracks, Routes and Waypoints for details.

Compass Page Scale The Course Pointer indicates your course of travel and the distance you move off course. The Bearing Pointer always indicates the direction to your destination. Course Pointer Using the Compass Page The Compass Page is your guide to accurate and efficient navigation. It uses traditional navigation displays to provide navigation information. Whenever navigation is in progress, the Compass Page provides navigation data and directions. It uses a graphic compass display and a bearing or course pointer along with digital data fields to display information such as current speed, distance to the next point on the route, estimated arrival time, etc. You can choose from three or four data fields and select the type of data displayed in each from a list of options. The rotating graphic compass indicates the direction you are heading. The Bearing/Course Pointer indicates the direction (bearing) to your destination, relative to your current heading direction. The compass ring and bearing pointer work independently to show your direction of movement and the direction to your destination. You can choose a Bearing Pointer or Course Pointer for guidance. The compass ring is an electronic compass that functions like a magnetic compass when you are stationary. However, when you are moving and reach a pre-set speed, it uses data from the GPS receiver to maintain your heading. When you stop (after a pre-set time), it again operates like a magnetic compass. The compass ring is especially helpful when using a paper map or chart in conjunction with your GPSmap 60CS for navigation. When the electronic compass is On, a compass icon appears in the status bar at the top of the display. (See page 7) Bearing Pointer 14 GPSmap 60CS The Electronic Compass GPS Navigation The Compass Page When you manually turn the Compass Off, it stays off until you manually turn it On again. Sometimes, however, when you turn the Compass On, the GPSmap 60CS overrides the Compass and uses the GPS receiver to track your heading. The criteria for switching between the Compass and the GPS can be customized. (See below.) Turning the Electronic Compass On and Off: 1. Press and hold the PAGE button to turn the Electronic Compass On or Off. A Compass Icon displays in the Status Bar at the top of the display when the Compass is On. When not in use, turn the Electronic Compass off to conserve batteries. When the Compass is Off, the unit uses the GPS receiver for navigation. 2. Hold the GPSmap 60CS level to get an accurate Electronic Compass reading. A "Hold Level" reminder displays if you are not holding the Compass correctly, or if it is not calibrated. (See the following page for calibration instructions.) Setting the Speed and Time for Compass Auto On/Off: Electronic Compass "On" and "Off" messages 1.

Sighting Page Project Waypoint Page Using "Sight `N Go" to navigate Compass Page Options Menu 17 GPSmap 60CS GPS Navigation The Compass Page To stop navigation: Highlight "Stop Navigation" and press ENTER to stop navigating. To select the Course Pointer or the Bearing Pointer: The Bearing Pointer always indicates the direction to your destination from your current location. 0.25 mi Scale 18 The Course Pointer indicates your course of travel from your original location and the distance off course. The "Bearing Pointer" is the factory set default option. When the "Bearing Pointer" option is displayed, the "Course Pointer" is active and vice versa. Highlight this option and press ENTER to activate. The Bearing Pointer and Course Pointer work independently of each other, one indicating the direction to your destination and the other, your relationship to a course line leading to the destination. For example: If the Bearing Pointer arrow is pointing straight up, you are going directly to your destination. If it points any direction other than up, turn towards that direction until the arrow is pointing up and then continue in that direction. The Bearing Pointer always points to the destination, no matter what direction you are moving. Most efficient if you must move around obstacles (lakes, private property, etc.) in your path. If you are using the "Course Pointer" option instead and you drift away from the line of travel from your original location to your destination, the Course Deviation Indicator (arrow with horizontal dotted line) provides graphic indication of drift (right or left) according to the scale displayed at the edge of the compass ring. Move to the right or left to get back on course. Most efficient if you are navigating on water or where there are no major obstacles in your path. It also helps you avoid hazards to either side of the course such as shoals or submerged rocks. GPSmap 60CS GPS Navigation To display data fields: 1.
