Initializing the GPS Receiver

Initializing the Receiver

The GPS Receiver must be initialized (given an opportunity to determine its location) before you can begin using it for navigation.

Before it can receive signals from GPS satellites overhead, you must turn the receiver on. This can be accomplished by deploying the antenna on the back of the iQue ™ handheld by rotating it up to the On position. In order to receive satellite signals, you must have a clear view of the sky.

Satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass) or dense overhead tree cover. When the unit initializes for the first time it may take as long as 15 minutes. This time can be shortened by using the map to point to the general area in which you are currently located (see page 6). Anytime you have traveled more than 600 miles with the GPS receiver turned off, the iQue handheld must again find its location by re-initializing.

Using QueGPS

QueGPS is an information type application that displays the current status of satellite reception by showing the location and numbers of the satellites in the sky overhead. A signal strength bar at the bottom of the page shows the signal strength of each satellite being received.

Use QueGPS to:

• Observe the status of GPS satellite signal reception.

• View the current date and time.

• Determine your current location coordinates and their accuracy.

• Determine your current speed.

• Determine your approximate elevation (altitude above mean sea level).

2. Or, simply tap the GPS Status Area in the center of the Applications

At the top of the Satellite Status Page is a message containing the status of the GPS receiver and a sky view array on the left side representing the position of satellites in the sky overhead with your position in the center of the two circles. The outer circle indicates the horizon while the inner circle a position 45 o

from the horizon. The numbers displayed indicate the number assigned to those satellites.

A bar graph at the bottom of the page displays the strength of signals being received from each satellite. An “Acquiring Satellites” message is displayed until at least three satellites with sufficient signal strength have been received. When the GPS receiver has determined its location, a “2D” message appears and your location coordinates display at the top of the left hand column.

On the right, the date and time displays, and if you are moving, your current speed displays as well.

When you have sufficient signals from four or more satellites, a “3D

GPS Location” message appears and the approximate elevation also displays at the bottom of the column.

The accuracy of your current position displays at the bottom of the list. All of this information continues to update as you navigate.

The GPS Receiver Status: On, Off or Acquiring Satellites

The GPS Receiver can be in three states, On, Off, or Acquiring for enough satellite signals to determine its location.

To determine the GPS Status at a glance:

1. Observe the small color window at the center of your handheld

2. When GPS is On and searching for satellite signals, the window will

appear as shown in the top left illustration.

3. When enough satellite signals are being received to establish a loca-

tion fi x, the window will appear as shown in the middle left illustra-

tion.

4. When the Antenna is closed and the GPS is Off, the window will

display a sky with no satellites.

It is IMPORTANT to remember that whenever the antenna is not in the fully closed position, that the GPS receiver is operating.

The GPS receiver can, from time to time, lose satellite signals due to interference from tree cover, buildings, etc., so monitoring the GPS

Status Window from time to time is recommended. If you don’t want the GPS Receiver On, and particularly when indoors, keep the antenna closed!

You can tap the Satellite Status window at any time to display the

QueGPS application and view satellite status in detai l.

What is WAAS?

The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is an F.A.A. funded project to improve the overall integrity of the GPS signal. It is a spacebased system that broadcasts integrity information and correction data as determined by ground reference stations (see DGPS below). At this time the system is still in the developmental stage with a goal of providing reliable signals with an accuracy of 7 meters (21-22 ft.) both horizontally and vertically 95% of the time. Current tests have shown the actual accuracy to be on the order of 2-3 meters. For more information, go to http://gps.faa.gov/Programs/WAAS/waas.htm.

What is Differential GPS (DGPS)?

The U.S. and Canadian governments (among others) have set up

Differential GPS (DGPS) stations to transmit correction signals. They are operational in coastal areas and on many navigable river systems. The

DGPS system is available for use without fee.

In addition to compensating for errors in the position, these corrections signals can also correct for deliberate degradation of the accuracy of GPS by the U.S. Department of Defense under their Selective Availability (SA) program. Please refer to the U.S. Coast Guard’s web site:

http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/ for locations and the status of the differential sites. Using DGPS requires additional equipment.

Map Datums are based on a mathematical model of the Earth.

Map Datums

What are Map Datums, and which should I use?

A datum is a mathematical model of the Earth which approximates the shape of the Earth, and enables calculations to be carried out in a consistent and accurate manner. The datum is physically represented by a framework of ground monuments (i.e. trig. stations) whose positions have been accurately measured and calculated on this reference surface.

Lines of latitude and longitude on a map or chart are referenced to a specific map datum. Every chart has a map datum reference and the iQue handheld can be set to match most of those commonly used.

If you are navigating and comparing the GPS coordinates to a map, chart or other reference, the map datum in the GPS unit should be set to the same datum as the map or chart to insure the most accurate navigation.

What is a Location Format, and which should I use?

Your current location can be viewed on the GPS in the form of coordinates. Since different maps and charts use different location formats, Garmin GPS units allow you to choose the correct coordinate system for the type of map you are using. The most common format is latitude and longitude, which is utilized by all Garmin units. On most models, you may choose to change the location format to use with other coordinate systems. UTM/UPS (Universal Transverse Mercator/Universal

Polar Stereographic) are easy-to-use metric grids that are found on most

USGS topographic quadrangle maps. Several other grids, including a user-defi nable grid (for the advanced user), may also be selected.


Location Coordinates, how to edit or assign them.

No matter where you happen to be on the surface of the earth, there is an exact description for your current location, called a location coordinate. A location coordinate is the description for any specific location on the earth determined by one of the many types of Location Formats.

When you save any QueMap or QueFind item as a Waypoint, location coordinates are automatically assigned using information contained in the mapping database either stored in your unit or on the Secure Digital

Card. Those locations will be displayed in the format set by the factory default settings or the format you have set using the preferences settings for Location Format for Que applications.

When you assign a location to an entry in the Address Book, one of the options is “Manual” which allows you to enter location coordinates for the entry, if you know what they are.
