Important
It is the owner’s sole responsibility to install and use the instrument in a manner that will not cause
accidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this product is solely responsible for observing
safe boating practices.
Global Positioning System: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US Government
which is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to
changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment anywhere in the world
including the TRACKER. Whilst the NAVMAN TRACKER is a precision navigation instrument, it can be
misused or misinterpreted, which can result in its use being unsafe. To reduce the risk of misusing or
misinterpreting the TRACKER, the user must read and understand all aspects of this Installation and
Operation manual. We also suggest that the user practice all operations using the built in simulator
before using the TRACKER at sea.
Electronic Chart: The electronic chart used by the TRACKER is an aid to navigation and is designed to
supplement the use of official government charts not replace them. Only official government charts
supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for safe and prudent navigation.
Always supplement the information provided by the TRACKER with other plotting sources such as
observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings. Should the information not agree
then the discrepancy must be resolved before proceeding any further.
Fuel Computer: Fuel economy can alter drastically depending on the boat loading and sea conditions.
The fuel computer should not be the sole source of information concerning available fuel onboard and
the electronic information should be supplemented by visual or other checks of the fuel load. This is
necessary due to possible operator induced errors such as forgetting to reset the fuel used when filling
the tank, running the engine with the fuel computer not switched on or other operator controlled actions
that may render the device inaccurate. Always ensure that adequate fuel is carried onboard for the intended
trip plus a reserve to allow for unforeseen circumstances.

1 Introduction
these points, the TRACKER displays course
information for the helmsman to follow.
TRACKER chartplotters
NAVMAN’s TRACKER chartplotters are compact,
ruggedly built, highly integrated navigation instruments.
They have been designed to be easy to use. Complex
navigation functions can be performed with a few key
presses, taking the hard work out of navigation.
The TRACKER can control an autopilot and can
display depth information from a depth sounder. With
an optional fuel kit, the TRACKER becomes a
sophisticated yet easy to use fuel computer. Navigation
data can be saved to a plug-in user card so that it can
be easily transferred to another NAVMAN chartplotter.
This manual covers the NAVMAN TRACKER 5600
chartplotter, which has a large, easy to read colour
display and uses an external GPS antenna.
The TRACKER is part of the NAVMAN family of
instruments, which includes instruments for speed,
depth, wind and repeaters. These instruments can be
connected together to form an integrated data system
(see section 14).
The TRACKER has a built-in chart of the world,
suitable for route planning and general interest. To
see chart details for a region, plug in a C-MAP™ chart
card (an electronic chart).
For maximum benefit, please read this manual
carefully before installing and using the unit. Special
terms are explained in Appendix C.
The TRACKER receives information from the GPS
system and displays the boat’s position and speed.
The TRACKER can navigate to a point or can navigate
along a route. When the boat is navigating to one of
1-1 Care
Cleaning and maintenance
Plug-in cards
Caution should be used when cleaning theTRACKER,
and especially the screen of the TRACKER. Only use
a clean sponge or chamois soaked in fresh water and
mild detergent. Never use a dry cloth as this may drag
dried salt crystals across the screen resulting in
scratching. Do not use any form of abrasive cleaner,
solvent, petrol or other chemical cleaner.
Handle plug-in cards carefully. Keep them in their
protective cases when not plugged into the TRACKER.
If a card gets dirty or wet, clean it with a damp cloth
or mild detergent.
Keep the card holder in place in the display unit at all
times to prevent moisture from entering the card
compartment.
Push the dust cover over the display when the
TRACKER is turned off.
1-2 Plug-in cards
The TRACKER can use two kinds of plug-in cards:
C-MAP™ chart card have chart details required
for navigating in a particular region. When a chart
card is plugged in, the extra details automatically
appear on the TRACKER’s chart display.
C-MAP™ user cards are used to store navigation
data. Each user card expands the TRACKER’s
memory and allows the data to be transferred to
another TRACKER easily (see section 11).
Note: The older 5 volt cards are not supported.
When a card is inserted or removed it does not matter
if the TRACKER is turned on or off.

7 Satellites
GPS worldwide navigation
DGPS
The US Government operates the GPS system.
Twenty-four satellites orbit the earth and broadcast
position and time signals. The positions of these
satellites are constantly changing. The GPS receiver
analyses the signals from the closest satellites and
calculates exactly where it is on earth. This is called
the GPS position.
A DGPS system uses correction signals to remove
some of the errors in the GPS position. The
TRACKER can use one of two types of DGPS
system:
WAAS and EGNOS DGPS
WAAS and EGNOS are two satellite based DGPS
systems. The correction signals are broadcast by
satellites and are received by the TRACKER’s
standard GPS antenna. The accuracy of the
corrected GPS position is typically better than 5 m
(16 ft) for 95% of the time.
The accuracy of the GPS position is typically better
than 10 m (33 ft) for 95% of the time.AGPS antenna
can receive signals from the GPS satellites when it
is almost anywhere on earth.
WAAS covers all of the USA and most of
Canada. EGNOS will cover most of Western
Europe when it becomes operational about the
end of 2003. To enable WAAS and EGNOS
DGPS, (see section 13-3).
GPS antennas
The TRACKER must be used with the external GPS
antenna supplied. The TRACKER has a sensitive
12-channel receiver built in, which tracks signals from
all satellites visible above the horizon and uses
measurements from all satellites more than 5° above
the horizon to calculate the position.

NAVMAN TRACKER 5600 Installation and Operation Manual

Differential beacon DGPS
To use differential beacon DGPS, the
TRACKER must be installed with an external
DGPS antenna, such as the NAVMAN DGPS 1
(see section 15-3).
Differential beacons are land based radio
transmitters that broadcast correction signals
that can be received by a special receiver on
the boat. Differential beacons are usually only
installed near ports and important waterways,
and each beacon has a limited range. The
accuracy of the corrected GPS position is
typically better than 2 to 5 m (6 to 16 ft).
Startup
Each time a GPS receiver is turned on, it normally
takes about 50 seconds before it outputs the first
position. Under some circumstances it will take up
to two minutes or longer.
7-1 Satellite display
The satellite display has information about the GPS
satellites and GPS position.
When the TRACKER is turned on, the satellite
display is shown automatically while the GPS
antenna starts up.

13-2 Chart setup
Either select Map datum and select the datum
for the local chart. See Appendix A for a list of
the available datums. WGS84 is the default
datum, and the datum most commonly used on
paper charts.
Rotation
The options for chart rotation are:
North up: North is always at the top of the
chart display.
Track up: The chart is rotated so that the boat
direction is to the top of the display. This option
is useful for navigating narrow harbours or
rivers. The TRACKER asks for a course
deviation; this is how much the boat direction
needs to change to make the chart redraw.
Or, if the correct datum is not available, retain
the WGS84 datum and apply a map shift (see
below).
Map shift
Map shift is a correction applied to the TRACKER’s
positions so that they match a chart’s positions.
Tip: If the chart redraws too frequently,
increase the course deviation setting.
Warning: Map shift is for eliminating minor
offsets. It should not be used if the correct datum
is available. Use map shift with caution: incorrect
application will cause incorrect boat positions.
Course up: This option is only available if the
boat is navigating to a destination. The chart is
rotated so that the plotted course to the
destination is vertical.
Set map shift
1
Move the boat to a known point on the chart,
for example a marina berth.
Projected course
The TRACKER can estimate the course after a given
time, based on the current speed and heading (see
section 3-4). The options are 2 minutes, 10 minutes,
30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or Off.
2
3
In the Chart setup menu, select Map shift.
Move the cursor to the position on the chart
where the boat actually is.
Press ENT to set the new map shift. The boat
will now be displayed at its actual location.
4
CDI Scale
The CDI Scale is described inAppendix C, CDI. The
options are 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 10.0
distance units.
Clear map shift
Clearing the map shift removes any map shift from
the TRACKER’s positions.
Plotter mode
1
2
In the Chart setup menu, select Map shift.
Press MENU and select Clear.
Occasionally it is desirable to use a chart scale which
is not available on a chart card. Examples are:
To zoom in to a small scale to track very small
boat movements.
Waypoints
Controls how waypoints are displayed on the chart.
The options are:
If there is no detailed chart for an area, for
example when crossing an ocean.
Hide all: No waypoints are displayed.
If Plotter mode is On, then if the chart zooms to a
scale which is not available, the TRACKER will enter
plotter mode and will only display the boat position
and track (if enabled). Chart and map information
will no longer be displayed and the display is white
with black crosshatch lines.
Show all: All waypoints are displayed.
Selected: Waypoints with their display option
set to Icon or I+N (Icon and Name) are
displayed (see section 9).
Chart display options
The other chart setup options allow an extensive
range of chart card features to be shown. Configure
the most useful display format.
For normal use, turn Plotter mode to Off.
Map datum and map shift
Satellite derived positions on the TRACKER are
based on a worldwide reference (datum) known as
WGS84. Most paper charts are based on WGS84.
However, some paper charts are not based on
WGS84, which results in an offset between a position
on the TRACKER and the same position plotted on
the paper chart.
Note:
Bathymetric Lines and soundings
Chart cards contain a large amount of spot sounding
and depth contour data. This can be selectively
displayed by turning Bathymetric Lines and Spot
Soundings on, then selecting the range to display
with Bath and Sndgs Min and Max.
To match the TRACKER’s positions with a local chart
that is not based on WGS84:
AttentionAreas
Areas of importance, such as restricted anchorages
and shallow areas, are highlighted asAttentionAreas.

13-3 GPS setup
GPS Source
Static Navigation
Disable or enable the TRACKER’s internal GPS
receiver. Disable this if a non-standard GPS antenna
that sends NMEA data is installed.
The displayed speed and course become erratic
when the boat stops. Turn Static navigation On to
display speed and course as zero when the boat is
stopped.
DGPS Source
Enables or disables the satellite based DGPS
correction (see section 7). The options are None or
WAAS/EGNOS. Do not enable WAAS/EGNOS
outside their coverage areas or the accuracy of the
position might be degraded.
Position, Speed and Course Filter
Waves and wind cause the boat position, speed and
course to fluctuate slightly. To give stable readings,
the TRACKER calculates these values by taking
several measurements and averaging them.
WAAS covers all of the USA and most of Canada.
EGNOS will cover most of Western Europe when it
becomes operational about the end of 2003.
A lower value averages measurements over a
shorter period of time. This gives the most
accurate value but has the most fluctuations.
A higher value averages measurements over a
longer period of time. This gives the most
stable value but will ignore some true speed
changes.
Restart GPS
Restarts the internal GPS receiver for servicing or
troubleshooting. The GPS receiver takes up to three
minutes to restart. The satellite display shows the
status of the GPS receiver (see section 7).
Set the Position, Speed and Course filters to the
lowest values which give stable readings. The range
of each filter is 1 to 60 seconds or Off (0).
13-4 Fuel Setup
To use these fuel features first purchase and install
the optional single or twin engine fuel kit.
Tank Full
Select Tank full each time the tank is filled full.
Whenever fuel is added or removed from the tank,
use this menu:
When asked for confirmation, Select Yes.
Set Remaining
Enter the amount of fuel now in the tank after it has
been partly filled or fuel has been removed.
If the tank is filled, select Tank Full.
If the tank is partly filled or fuel removed:
1
Before adding or removing the fuel, go to
the fuel display and note how much fuel is
in the tank.
Clear Used
Select Clear Used to set Used (the amount of fuel
used) to zero. Do this to restart measuring the amount
of fuel used.
2
3
Note how much fuel is added or removed.
Calculate how much fuel is now in the tank
by adding or subtracting the two figures.
When asked for confirmation, Select Yes.
4
Select this menu and enter how much fuel
is now in the tank in Set Remaining.
Tank Size
Enter the capacity of the fuel tank.
Warning: Do this each time fuel is added or
removed or else fuel remaining and the low fuel
alarm will be meaningless!
Num Engines
Set the number of engines to 0, 1 or 2.
If 0 is selected the fuel features are turned off.

4
5
Check the actual amount of fuel used per
engine. The easiest way to do this is to refill
the tank(s) to the original level(s) and record
the value(s) shown on the fuel dispenser.
Select Fuel Cal. The amount of fuel that the
TRACKER has measured is displayed.
Change the number to the actual fuel amount
used. (Repeat for the other engine in a twin
engine installation).
Fuel Cal
Without calibration the error in fuel measurements
can be up to 10%. Calibration can reduce the error
substantially. For twin engine installations calibration
of each transducer is required.
Calibrating the fuel transducer requires accurate
measurement of the fuel used. This is easiest with a
small portable tank. It should be noted that due to air
pockets, it is very difficult to fill underfloor tanks to
the same level twice. At least 15 litres (4 US gallons)
should be used to ensure an accurate calibration.
(The more fuel used, the more accurate the
calibration will be.) Each transducer in a twin engine
installation must be calibrated separately. This may
be done at the same time with two portable tanks, or
at different times using one tank at a time.
Flow Filter
Normally engines do not draw fuel from the tank at a
steady rate. To give a stable fuel flow reading, the
TRACKER calculates the flow values by taking several
measurements and averaging them. The flow filter
sets the period over which the fuel flow is averaged,
and can be set from 1 to 180 seconds or Off.
The procedure is:
Set the flow filter to the lowest value which give a
stable flow. Usually a value of 10 to 15 seconds will
give a satisfactory result for carburettor engines. Fuel
injected engines may require a larger value.
1
2
Select Clear Used to set Used to zero.
Connect the measurement tank(s) to the
engine(s) via the fuel transducer(s).
3
Run the engine(s) at normal cruising speed until
at least 15 litres (4 US gallons) is indicated
(30 litres [8 US gallons] for twin engines).
This setting affects the Flow rate and Economy
displays. It does not affect the fuel used measurement.

14 Systems of several instruments
Several NAVMAN instruments can be connected
together to share data. There are two ways of
connecting instruments together, NavBus or NMEA.
If the backlight is changed in an instrument in
group 0 then no other instruments are affected.
If an alarm sounds, mute it by clearing the
alarm on any instrument which can display that
alarm.
NavBus
NavBus is a NAVMAN proprietary system that allows
NavBus and the TRACKER
systems of multiple instruments to be built using a
single set of transducers. When instruments are
connected by NavBus:
The TRACKER can display data (e.g. depth,
speed, log and wind) from NAVMAN’s 3100
series instruments when connected.
If the units, alarms or calibration are changed
in one instrument, then the values will
automatically change in all other instruments
of the same type.
NMEA
NMEA is an industry standard, but is not as flexible
as NavBus as it requires dedicated connections
between instruments. The TRACKER can:
Each instrument can be assigned to a group of
instruments (see section 13-8). If the backlight
is changed in an instrument in group 1, 2, 3 or
4 then the backlight will automatically change
in the other instruments in the same group.
Receive and display depth data.
Receive data from a GPS antenna.
Send GPS position and other navigation data
to an autopilot or other instrument.

15 Installation
Correct installation is critical to the performance of
the unit. There are two components to install, the
TRACKER and a GPS antenna. In addition, install
the optional fuel kit to use the TRACKER as a fuel
computer.
The TRACKER can be wired for auto power so that
it automatically turns on and off with the boat power
and can not be turned on or off manually. Wire auto
power if the fuel option is installed, so that the
TRACKER records all the fuel that is used (see
section 15-3).
The TRACKER can:
Drive external beepers or lights for the alarm.
Send and receive data from other NAVMAN
instruments connected via NavBus. The
backlight setting is shared (see section 14).
Send NMEA data to an autopilot or other
instrument.
It is vital to read the entire installation section of this
manual and the documentation that comes with the
antenna and any other units before starting
installation.

Mount the antenna away from any source
of electrical signals or noise. Do not mount
the antenna within 2 m (6 ft) of a radio
transmitter antenna or within 0.5 m (20") of
the plane of a radar antenna.
Do not fit the antenna too high, such as up
a mast, or rocking will cause errors in
speed and bearing.
Do not mount the antenna where it can be
used as a hand hold, where it will interfere
with the operation of the boat or where it
might be submerged.
The maximum antenna cable length is
15 m (49 ft).
Warning: Ensure that any cut holes will not
weaken the boat. If in doubt, consult a qualified
boat builder or marine engineer.
Display unit

Find a suitable location for the display unit:
There are two mounting arrangements:
Flush mounting requires a solid panel
with access behind for wiring and mounting
screws.
Bracket mounting requires a panel for
mounting the bracket. The bracket can be
rotated and tilted.
Choose a location that is easily seen and not
exposed to the direct sun or water. If possible,
mount the display unit in front of the navigator
or to the left of the navigator because the LCD
display is more readable from these positions.
Keep the unit away from any source of
electrical signals or noise.
If a location might not be suitable, follow the
installation instructions below but mount the
antenna and antenna cable temporarily,
without drilling any fixing holes. If the system
does not work properly, change the antenna
location until it works properly. Then install the
antenna and cable permanently.

Bearing to Destination
Bearing to the destination from the boat.
Bearing to cursor from boat (cursor mode, see section 3-1-1)
Course Deviation Indicator When the boat is navigating to a point, the chart and highway displays
show a parallel line on either side of the plotted course. These two
lines are called the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) lines. The distance
from the plotted course to a CDI line is the CDI scale.
Set the CDI scale (see section 13-2) to the maximum distance that the
boat should deviate from the plotted course. The chart and highway
displays show the CDI lines, which are like a highway over the water
where the boat will move. The displays show how far the boat has
deviated from the plotted course and if the boat is approaching a CDI
line. If the XTE alarm is enabled (see section 13-6) an alarm will sound
if the boat reaches a CDI line.
