NOTES: WARNING! USE THIS GPS RECEIVER ONLY AS AN AID TO NAVIGATION. A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONEMETHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION This GPS receiver, (like all OPS navigation equipment) will show the shortest,mostdirect path to a waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypointregardless of obstructions.

N the chart. Forthis reason, you should be careful when enteringthe PCFoffset. This offset is saved in memory. It doesn't change whenthe unit isturned off. However, a Preset does erase the PCFfactor. o°uaoou' To set the PCF factor, first press the MENU key, then press the key next to the "Change GPS Settings" label. Now press the key next to the "PCF Offset" label. The screen shown above appears. Now pressthe key adjacent to the "Change Offset' label to enter the correction factor for your location.
The white and green wires are for a NMEA interface. The AccuNavil sends data to another electronic navigation devices through the white wire and receivesNMEA data through the greenwire. If the white and green wires are not used, tape their ends so that they cannot short.

SELECTNMEA The GlobalNav II sends data out the white wire on the power cable according to standards set by the NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association). This allows the GlobalNav II to send position, depth, and navigation information to 'listener" units, such as charting instruments, autopilots, and other marine instruments. The GlobalNav II uses the following NMEA data protocols: NMEA 0180 and 0183. NMEA 0180 sends steeringinformation only. It's useful mainly for autopilots.

GPS ALARMS The GlobalNav II has three GPS alarms. One is an arrival alarm that sounds when you comewithin a preset distance to a waypoint. Another is a crosstrackerror alarm that soundswhenyou move offcourse more than the alarm's setting.
Note: Ifyoudon't usethe"coldstart"feature, then youwill haveto change all of thesettingson this page to their correctvalues.In otherwords, you can't simplyenteryour presentposition and havetheunitfindthe correct values by itself. cnArlut I'USIIIUN Use a chart to determine your position if you don't know it.

ingthewaypointsuntil all ofthewaypoints havebeen enteredfortheroute. Then press the key nextto the 'Save RTE" label. This saves your route in memory. IMPORTANT! You must selectwaypoints in the order they are to be used in the route. In other words, suppose you want a route that consists of waypoint numbers 1, 3, and 5. However, youwish to travel to 3 first, then 1, and finally 5. In this case, you mustselect waypoint 3, 1, and 5 in that order when making the route.
If the unitcan't lock on to the satellites usingthedata you'vegiven it, or if it has trouble finding the satellites, perhapsit is using the wrong data. This can happen if you've entered the wrong data by accident. For example, giveniteastlongitude instead ofwest. Orifyou'vemoved along distancewith the unitturned off. To send a cold start message to thereceiver, pressthe MENU key. Now pressthekey nextto the "ChangeGPS Settings" label. Finally, press the key nextto the "OPS"COLD" Start"label.
Now pressthe key nextto the"Increase WPT"or "Decrease WPT" label untilthedesiredwaypoint number appears on the screen. _______ When itdoes, simplypress the key nexttothe"GotoWaypoint" IILAT : H 36°08.915' label. TheGlobalNavII returns LOM : U to the last used screen, showing navigation data to the waypoint you recalled. The GlobalNav II has a five channel GPSreceiver. Data on each channel is shown at the top of the display.
