After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS ex- perience), you may want to try out some of the IntelliMap 500C's many advanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced GPS Operations. This section contains the rest of the unit's GPS com- mand functions, organized in alphabetical order. When you come to a GPS menu command on the IntelliMap 500C's screen, you can look it up in the manual by skimming over the table of contents, just flipping through Secti

The background map is suitable for many navigation chores, but for maximum accuracy and much more detail, you need our optional map- making software, MapCreate 6. Some unit features — such as search- ing for businesses and addresses — won't work without a custom Map- Create map. There is so much detail in our background map (and even more in MapCreate) that we'll describe their contents and differences in Section 3, Basic GPS Operations, on page 32. Another portion of the IntelliMap 500C's

Introduction to GPS and WAAS Well, now you know the basics of how the unit does its work. You might be ready to jump ahead to Section 2, Installation & Accessories, on page 11, so you can mount your IntelliMap 500C and plug in the power. Or you might want to see how our text formatting makes the manual tuto- rials easy to skim. If that's the case, move on to "How to Use This Man- ual" on page 8. But, if you want to understand the current state of sat- ellite navigation, look over this segmen

The system requires signal reception from three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevation (your height above sea level — also called altitude). This is called a 3D fix. Remember, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receive their signals. Unlike radio or television signals, GPS works at very high frequencies. These signals can be easily blocked by trees, buildings, an aut

Also remember that this unit will always show navigation information in the shortest line from your present position to a waypoint, regardless of terrain! It only calculates position, it can’t know what’s between you and your destination, for example. It’s up to you to safely navigate around obstacles, no matter how you’re using this product.

Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the GPS system in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: Caution: You should read over this entire installation section before drill- ing any holes in your vehicle or vessel! 1. Determine the approximate location for the GPS unit, so you can plan how and where to route the cables for the antenna and power. This will help you make sure you have enough cable length for the de- sired c

You need to select an antenna installation location that has a clear, un- obstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, route the cable to the unit, plug it in the center socket on the back and your system is ready to use. See the module's instruction sheet, publication part num- ber 988-0148-371, for complete installation directions. In an automobile, you may achieve good results by simply placing the external antenna on the top of the dash, at the base of the windshield. a piece o
