MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify as required in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree.

This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and accurate digital data is either not available or prohibitively expensive.

WARNING: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the

United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin

GPSmap 60CS is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any

NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This Notice is being provided in accordance with

California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our web site at http://www.garmin.com/ prop65.

Important Note

When replacing batteries, use only new or fully charged batteries. Do not mix Alkaline and NiMH batteries. Rechargeable batteries may typically display less capacity than disposable batteries.

Remove the batteries from the unit if you don’t plan to use it for several months. Storing batteries in the unit for prolonged periods may result in leakage and damage to the battery compartment.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper care and disposal of used batteries. Do not incinerate used batteries, as internal materials may ignite with explosive violence.

Extensive use of backlighting and/or WAAS as well as key beep tones will signifi cantly reduce battery life.

To set backlighting intensity and timeout, see page 56.

To disable WAAS, see page 55.

To mute the beep tones, see page 58.

Satellite Page Acquiring Satellite Signals

Starting Up the GPS Receiver

Whenever you turn on the GPSmap 60CS, the GPS receiver begins to search for satellites in order to determine its location which is necessary for navigation. This process is called “initialization” and can take up to

15 minutes the fi rst time you use your unit. Thereafter, if you haven’t moved move 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 fi rst initialization, select “New Location” from the options menu, then you can use 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 Welcome Page followed by the Satellite Page.

3. While the GPS receiver is searching for the satellite signals, an

“Acquiring Satellites” message appears at the top of the page.

You will also observe 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 45 o

from the horizon. The numbers displayed indicate the number assigned to each satellite. A bar graph displays the strength of signals from each satellite.


4. When the receiver has signals from at least three satellites, the display at the top of the page will change 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 diffi culty initializing your GPSmap 60CS, the solution could be as simple as moving slightly to avoid objects that are blocking or defl ecting 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:

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 repeat 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.).

Status Bar, Backlighting and On-Screen Messages

At the top of each page, a Status Bar (which is always displayed) provides current status information for several unit features.

• Power to the unit is provided by either the batteries or from

an auxiliary source (AC or DC Adapter). The Battery Power icon

displays the remaining power as the battery becomes depleted.

• Satellite signal status is shown when searching for (acquiring)

satellites, when a two-dimensional fi x is attained and when four or

more satellites have been received (three dimensional fi x).

• Backlighting is Off when you power up the unit. When On, it

uses a signifi cant amount of battery power. This icon displays

when the backlight is functioning.

• Alarm Clock: this icon displays whenever the Alarm is set.

• USB cable connection displays when the unit is in communi-

cation with a PC Universal Serial Bus.

You may want to adjust the backlight level by pressing down on the

POWER key and releasing. Then tap the POWER key or ROCKER key

Up/Down arrows to cycle through the levels of backlight adjustment. See page 56 for information on changing the display colors and backlight timeout and brightness levels.

Whenever a signifi cant event in the operation of the unit occurs, an on-screen message will display to advise you of the occurrence. In each case the condition is described and often a remedy provided. Pressing the

ENTER key will acknowledge and close the message window.

Using the Map Page

The Map Page is the primary navigation feature of the GPSmap 60CS.

The Map Page displays a detailed map of the area surrounding your current location. It allows you to pan the map with the ROCKER key as well as view your progress when navigating. When in the “Track Up” mode

(oriented in the direction of travel), a north reference arrow appears at the top left corner to orient the map. When in the “North Up” mode the map is oriented like a paper map. When you activate the Track Log feature, your path of movement is indicated by a dotted line. The map display can be changed to “Night” mode for easier viewing in dim light. The factory set default automatically changes the display at sunrise and sunset.

The map also displays geographic details such as rivers, lakes, highways and towns. The maps to the left show a higher level of detail than the basemap provided with the unit (i.e. residential streets, parks, etc.) because Garmin MapSource ® detailed mapping data has been downloaded from a CD-ROM program.

You can use the Map Page to:

• Determine your current location and progress while moving

• Select and save a map point as a waypoint.

• Locate and navigate to map items by following a Route displayed

on the map.

• Customize the map display to your requirements.

The Map Page with Data Fields and Guidance Text


Using Map Page Features

Use the Zoom In and Out buttons to change the map scale in order to show more map area with less detail or less map area with more detail.

Press and hold to Zoom the map scale rapidly.

The map scale in the lower left hand side of the display is shown in units of measurement selected in the “Units” fi eld of the Unit Setup Page

(not to be confused with the Map Setup Page). If you zoom in so far that the resolution of the map data is exceeded and the appearance of the map is no longer accurate, the word, “ overzoom” displays just below the map scale. When using MapSource detailed maps, “mapsource” appears below the scale.

In many instances the map displays an “Accuracy Circle” surrounding the “Position Icon”. The GPSmap 60CS uses both map resolution and

GPS accuracy in defi ning your location to a point within the circle. The smaller the circle, the more accurate your location.

When using the “Pan Map” feature, a small outline arrow (Panning

Arrow) can be moved about the page to highlight and identify map items or to scroll the map to view areas not shown on the display screen. If there are more than one map items under the Panning Arrow. a list of those items displays with the item highlighted on the map, also highlighted on the list.

Optional data fi elds can be added at the top of the display to provide a variety of travel and navigational information, see pages that follow.

When navigating, Guidance Text will be displayed at the top of the map.

The Compass Page

Compass Page

Course Pointer

The Compass Ring moves to indicate your orientation in relation to North.

The Course Pointer indicates your course of travel and the distance you drift off course.

The Bearing

Pointer always indicates the direction to your destination.

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 ring and a bearing/ 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.

When moving, the rotating compass ring 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)

The Electronic Compass

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:

1. From the Main Menu, highlight Setup and press ENTER to display the Setup Menu.

2. Highlight the Heading icon and press ENTER to display the

Heading Setup Page.

3. Highlight the “Switch to compass heading when below...” fi eld, press ENTER and use the numeric keypad to enter the desired speed. Highlight the “...for more than...” fi eld and press

ENTER to set the time delay from the time options list.

1. Use the MENU key to access the Options Menu.

2. Use the ROCKER key to highlight the “Calibrate Compass” option and press ENTER to display the Calibration Page.

3. Press ENTER to activate the ‘Start’ button and then follow onscreen directions for holding and turning the unit.

The unit displays a “Just Right”, “Too Fast” or “Too Slow” message for you to adjust your turning speed as needed. Remember to hold the unit level while turning.

If you are turning the unit too slow or too fast, a message will appear to advise you.

A “Calibration Successful” message displays when fi nished.

If a “Calibration Failed” message displays, repeat the process.

4. Press ENTER to return to the Compass Page.

To stop navigation:

1. Highlight “Stop Navigation” and press ENTER to stop navigating.

To select the Course Pointer or the Bearing Pointer:

1. 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.

Interest, Addresses and Intersections. If you download BlueChart ® data, you can fi nd Marine Points such as Wrecks and Obstructions, NAVAIDS, and Anchorages. If this additional data is not loaded, these options are not available.

Searching for a map item is simplifi ed by separating the map database into groups which are shown as icons on the Find Menu Page.

• When you access a Find group list, by default it will contain only those items near your current location or the Panning Arrow (if active).

• To save effort in searching again for an item already found, you can use the “Recent Finds” group which contains a list of 50 last found items of all categories.

The options menu for each map item group offers its own unique search options such as “Find By Name”, “Find Nearest”, “Select Symbol”

(for Waypoints), “Change Reference” ( by moving the map Panning Arrow to a new location), “Nearest Containing” (a key word you enter), “Select

Category” (for those groups such as Food and Drink, Lodging, etc.). Using these options can effectively shorten your search.

Searching for a Geocache

The Find Geocache feature allows you to view the list of geocache locations that have been either, created using the GPSmap 60CS or downloaded from your computer. A geocache location is actually a waypoint with a special geocache symbol assigned to give special significance and to allow it to be separated from others on the waypoints list. For more information on creating a geocache point refer to Geocache Setup instruction on page 63 and www.garmin.com/products/gpsmap60CS/.

Creating and Using a Route

Route navigation allows you to create a sequence of intermediate waypoints which lead you to your fi nal destination. The GPSmap 60CS stores 50 routes, each with up to 250 waypoints each. A route can be created and modifi ed from the Routes Page, and waypoints can be added to a route from the Find Menu. More complex routes can be created using a PC and MapSource mapping programs and then transferred to the unit memory.

To create a route:

1. Access the ‘Routes’ page from the Main Menu. The page has a

“New” button, an “Active” button and a list of saved routes.

2. Use the ROCKER key to highlight the ‘New’ button and press

Methods of navigating to a destination:

• When you activate the “Go To” button on the Information Page for a

User Waypoint or other Find Menu items, the GPSmap 60CS creates a straight path (point to point) from your current location to that location.

• When you press the “Navigate” button on a Route page the GPSmap

60CS creates a route composed of several User Waypoints or Find

Menu items, with the last being your destination. It navigates directly from point to point. Before each turn in the route a turn page displays a guidance message and graphic of the turn. You can view the turns at any time by pressing the ROCKER key Up or

Down arrows while the route is active.

• These two navigation methods change when you select the “Follow

Roads” option from the Routing Setup Page. Both Go To navigation

and point to point routing become routes that allow you to navigate

using roads.

The routes use existing roadways (either those in the basemap or from downloaded detail mapping) to automatically calculate a route to your destination. Turns on roadways are added to the active route page and will be preceded by a guidance message with graphic display of the turn.

If there are not enough roads at your location to calculate a route, a message will display to advise you.

Nibbons

In this GPS game, you must walk around the board collecting the flags as they appear. As you walk, your “tail” will grow. You may travel anywhere on the screen but you cannot walk on your tail, or you will lose a life. As an added challenge, you must also avoid the Skulls that chase after you.

Gekoids

This GPS game, which can be played without GPS on, is all about blasting gekoids. The catch is, you are the ship and you can survive only when you avoid getting hit. Before you begin to play, make certain to make your game settings. Orient Map “Northwards” rotates your ship in the center of the map. The map is stationary and north is always up.

Orient Map “Ship Up” rotates the virtual world around your ship. Your ship always points Up.

Press the ENTER key to start and blast away!

Map Data

Garmin MapSource

MapSource is also an excellent medium for storage and safety backup of Personal

Waypoints, Routes and Saved Tracks.

Garmin MapSource

U.S. Topo 24K

Digital Elevation Models

(DEM) Maps provide elevation data at any point identified by the

Panning Arrow

See your Garmin Dealer or visit the

Garmin web site at: www.garmin.com for information on which maps work with the

GPSmap 60CS.

Transferring MapSource Map Data

If you have purchased a Garmin MapSource CD-ROM mapping program you may want to transfer detailed map data before beginning use, to provide your unit with maximum Find features and mapping capability. The GPSmap 60CS accepts up to 56 MB of map data from most MapSource products. It is not possible to transfer 3rd party maps into Garmin products.

You cannot view multiple types of MapSource data in the same location at the same time (one will draw over the other). When you leave a

MetroGuide area for example and enter the area of a topographic map, the display will change to contour lines. The same is true when moving from a topo map to a MetroGuide map.

Maps that are at the top of the hierarchy and will replace any other map information. Because new maps are constantly being released, consult your Garmin Dealer or the Garmin website to determine the order of hierarchy.

Map data transfer requires the use of a PC, a Garmin MapSource CD-

ROM, and the Universal Service Bus (USB) cable supplied with this unit.

Follow detailed instructions for data transfer in the MapSource User’s

Manual.

It is also important to note, that certain features contained in the

GPSmap 60CS will not be enabled unless you are using mapping data they are designed to support, such as many of the Find Features that require maps like City Select, City Navigator and Blue Chart and DEM

Elevation Profi les that require U.S. TOPO 24K maps. Visit the Garmin website for details on all of the maps for use with the GPSmap 60CS.

Map Datums and Position Formats

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

GPSmap 60CS 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 Position 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 position 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.


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.

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.
