For The
You are now ready to travel with your Galileo™!
First Time
™
Using Your Galileo For The First Time
It is best to be outside and have a clear sky above you to
allow the Galileo™ to obtain better reception of the
satellites. Clear sky means no trees, bridges, overhangs,
carports etc. Cloudy skies are ok. Holding the unit at 45
degrees from horizontal is optimum and
a
natural
12-A
position for using the unit. See 12-A. Having an open area
around you is important for first time use, any time that
the unit has not been used for an extended period of time,
and when the Cold Start function is used. See Cold Start
section on page 15 for more information.
Getting
Started
Getting Started
With the batteries properly installed, press and hold the
Power button until the greeting screen is displayed
then release the Power button. The greeting screen
momentarily displays the mapping and Operating System
(OS) release versions [See 12-B] then displays the warning
page [See 12-C]. While the greeting screen is displayed,
write down the OS and Map release information in your
manual for future reference. This information can also be
found on the “Main Menu” under the “About” selection.
This information is necessary should you inquire about
the Galileo’s operation or order new software.

Simulation Mode
Simulation Mode
Simulation
Mode
To get
a
feel for the many useful features and also
conserve battery life, switch the unit to simulation mode.
Simulation mode allows the unit to function without
acquiring satellites. This gives you time to learn many of
Galileo’s useful features. After turning the Galileo™ on,
the screen will display the Satellite page, trying to obtain
a satellite. See 14-B. Press the menu button, press Stop
Navigation, then OK. This will allow the unit to function
without searching for satellites.
Note: The Galileo’s Memory Feature saves your setting
when the unit is turned off. If the Galileo™ was set in
Simulation Mode before being turned off, is will be in the
same mode next time the unit is turned on.
Simulation mode is also used to look up map information,
set up waypoints and routes before, during or after a trip.
While in this mode, the unit is not looking for satellite
signals, which conserves battery power. Once at
a
location, you can locate area attractions and other Points
Of Interests (POI), using the Search Object menu selection.
This capability is only with the Whistler Map™ detailed
mapping software available with the Galileo™ GPS
Accessory Pack or with the Galileo Elite™. See page 26 for
description of menu items. Since the Galileo™ knows your
last position before entering Simulation Mode, it uses this
information when referencing distance to services or
POI’s.
Note: Under SIMULATION mode, you cannot use
National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) 0183
output. See NMEA section on page 33.

Night Viewing
Press the PWR Button to turn on backlighting. The amount of time
the backlighting is on can be adjusted from the Settings Menu.
See System Settings Section on page 20.
Obtaining Satellite Signals
Satellite
Signals
The Satellite page shows the GPS satellites that are available and
their signal strength. Once a satellite is acquired and fixed, the
signal bar for each satellite will turn dark. Signal strength of the
satellite signals will be shown by length of signal bar. The longer
the signal bar displayed, the stronger the signal. This page also
displays which satellites are locked on, your location coordinates,
background lighting on/ off, DOP number (the lower the number the
better the satellite signal), and battery status. See 14-B.
At least three satellites are needed for the Galileo™ to operate
properly. When the unit is searching for satellites, it may take
several minutes to acquire three or more strong signals from the
orbiting satellites. When you use the Galileo™ for the first time,
perform a Cold Start (See page 15) or when you are over 500 miles
from where the Galileo™ GPS was last turned on, the unit may
require longer (5 to 10 minutes) than normal time to acquire the
necessary three or more satellites. After the satellites are acquired
and fixed, your position is identified and the display changes to
the map page.

Cold Start
Cold Start
Cold Start
Performing the Cold Start function decreases the time it
takes to get a satellite lock. Cold Start means that the
Galileo™ has no reference to use as a guide to tell it what
satellites should be overhead. Without a reference, the
Galileo™ will search the sky trying to find any satellite
that may be overhead. This can increase the time it takes
to get its first satellite lock. (Up to 10 minutes in severe
conditions.) Under normal operating conditions, the last
satellite lock computed before the unit was turned off, is
stored into memory and will be used as the reference the
next time the unit is turned on. Also, if you travel for more
than 500 miles with the Galileo™ turned off, it will still
have the reference point, but it may be too inaccurate to be
useful. In this case you may want to perform a Cold Start.

Marking a
Waypoint
A waypoint is a marker, shown on the map, to a location
you would like to come back to another time. This
waypoint could be a POI, intersection or a favorite fishing
spot. Up to 500 waypoints can be stored in the Galileo™.
Waypoints can also be grouped/ recalled by name, i.e.,
FISH1 or CAMP2. Up to eight characters can be used for
a
name. The Galileo™ groups waypoints by the first
character in the name. If that character is blank then it
groups by the next character i.e., “_FISH_ _ _” will be
grouped different than “FISH_ _ _ _” or “_ _ _ _ FISH” or
even “_ _FISH_ _”.

Track Logs
Track Logs
Track Logs
Think of track logs as simply “bread crumbs” that leave a trail
behind so that you can find your way back. The track log is
shown on the Map page by dots along your route. See 29-A.
The Galileo™ can store up to five track logs with each track
recording up to 2500 points, which is 12,500 points total
for the five tracks. Points mean a longitude and latitude
recorded for a location or “point” determined by the distance
and/ or time field setting in the recording page. See 29-B.
The Track Log menu consists of: Clear Tracking, Save
Tracking, Delete, Show On (or Show Off), Edit & Information,
Distance, and Recording Mode.
Note: Navigation must be turned on and have a satellite
lock to record or clear Track logs.
There are two different methods of recording track logs,
Fill or Wrap. See 29-C.
When “Fill” is selected the track log will record points until
the track log memory is full. When full, a message is
displayed to either save the track log or clear it. When
“Wrap” is selected and the track log memory is reaching full
capacity, it will overwrite or record over the beginning
track log.

Datum
Change Datum
This section is used for navigation on water. For traveling
on roadways this function is not necessary. A datum is a
mathematical model of the Earth. Map makers may use
a
different model to chart their maps, so position
coordinates will differ from one datum to another. Lines of
latitude and longitude on a map or chart are referenced to
a
specific map datum. Every chart has
a
map datum
reference. The datum for the map you are using can be
found in the legend of the map.
If you are comparing the GPS coordinates to a chart or
other reference, the map datum in the Galileo™ should be
selected to the same map datum that is listed as the datum
used to generate the chart or other reference. If the datum
setting on the Galileo™ is different than the chart used, your
coarse could very well be off. This can be dangerous. The
common datum used is WGS84 and this is Galileo’s default
datum and one of 221 datums in memory.
To change the datum
1. Select “Datum” from the main menu.
2. Select the datum that matches the chart you are using.
Tip: When “Datum” is selected, press Menu to choose the
new datum by the beginning letter.

Troubleshooting
1. Check to see if batteries are installed correctly.
2. Replace with two new AA alkaline batteries.
3. Need to hold the power button for at least 2 seconds.
Unit Will Turn On, Then Turn Itself Off:
1. Batteries may be weak – too weak for the low battery warning
to be displayed. Replace with two new AA alkaline batteries.
2. Did not accept warning page, unit timed out and turned off.
Takes More Than 10 Minutes To Get A Position Fix:
1. If there are any obstacles nearby or overhead, move to
a
new location.
2. Make sure that the antenna is pointing up, has a clear view of
the sky and is a reasonable distance away from your body.
3. Check Satellite Status screen to see if the receiver is acquiring
data.
4. If the receiver still does not get a position fix within 10 minutes,
you need to perform a Cold Start procedure.
Unit Is Not Leaving “Bread Crumbs” Along My Route
1. Make sure that “Track Logs”, from the main menu, is set to
either “Fill” or “Wrap”.
Battery Life Seems Shorter Than It Should Be:
1. Make sure that you are using two AA alkaline or high capacity
Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
2. Shorter life span of the batteries can be due to excessive use of
the backlight. Turn the backlight off when not needed.
3. In the “Setting” menu, try using the “Saving” option in the
“Navigation Mode” selection.
4. Ni-Cd batteries are not recommended. These batteries will
not provide enough power long enough to be useful. Replace
the Ni-Cd’s with Ni-MH type rechargeable batteries.

your chart. The map datum is generally shown in the map legend.
See Change Datum section for instructions on selecting the map datum
in your receiver on page 32.
Position On Map Is Not Exactly On The Road.
It could be caused by distance shifts to the digitized map. Use
map information for reference only and do not rely completely
on it.
Data Was Not Saved Or Was Corrupted.
This can be caused because you removed the batteries or removed
