GPS Basics

Your Cobra® GPS 100 receiver makes travel easier through three  
major ways:  
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radio-  
navigation system. It consists of 24 satellites, which orbit the  
Earth at an altitude of approximately 11,000 miles, and  
ground stations. GPS provides users with accurate information  
on position, velocity and time. This is available anywhere in  
the world and in most weather conditions.  
that your Cobra® GPS receiver uses to compute the locations  
of the satellites and to make other adjustments needed for  
accurate positioning. Your Cobra® GPS receiver uses the time  
difference between the time of signal reception and the  
broadcast time to compute the distance, or range, from the  
receiver to the satellite. With information about the ranges  
to four satellites and the location of each satellite when  
the signal was sent, your Cobra® receiver can compute its  
own three-dimensional position: latitude, longitude, and  
altitude. People think of GPS as having three segments:  
the control, space and user segments. What follows is  
a little information about each segment.  
GoTo a Waypoint – The GPS 100 guides you in a straight line  
to a single point. (See and )  
Navigate a Route – The GPS 100 gives you the opportunity to  
select two or more waypoints to create a route. You can then use  
your GPS 100 to guide you in a straight line from point to point  
through your stored route. (See and )  
GPS was initiated in 1973 to reduce the proliferation of  
navigation aids by the United States Department of Defense.  
By creating a robust system that overcame the limitations of  
many previously existing navigation systems, GPS became  
attractive to a broader spectrum of users. GPS has been  
successful in classic applications such as aviation and marine  
navigation since it was first developed. Since then, it has  
become useful for a wide range of people because its  
capabilities are accessible using small, affordable equipment.  
What was once available only in very expensive equipment,  
Cobra® brings to you with our high-quality line of affordable  
handheld GPS receivers  
Navigate a Track – The GPS 100 automatically keeps a record  
of your progress as you travel and gives you a graphic representation or  
“track log” of the path or track you have taken. You can use the track  
log to create a track that you can recall for navigation. The track can be  
navigated in the forward or the reverse direction of the original travel.

Control Segment  
The Control Segment of GPS consists of the Master Control  
Station, Monitor Stations and Ground Antennas.  
This manual is designed to help you take advantage of these and our  
many other features. We suggest that you begin by reading the “General  
Information” and “System Sections” first. If you are not familiar with the  
satellite navigation technology, these will help you understand the basics.  
Then, take your Cobra® GPS receiver outside and practice while you read the  
sections on how to operate it.  
The one master control station, located at Falcon Air Force  
Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA is responsible for  
overall management of the remote monitoring and  
transmission sites. As the center for support operations, it  
calculates any position or clock errors for each individual  
satellite, based on information received from the monitor  
stations. Then it "orders" the appropriate ground antennas to  
relay the corrective information back to that satellite.  
How GPS Works  
GPS uses a global network of 24 satellites that transmit radio  
signals to earth from high earth orbit. Thankfully for users,  
the United States has offered free use of the system to the  
international community. Many international user groups have  
accepted GPS as the core for an international civil satellite  
navigation capability.

Five monitor stations are located at Falcon Air Force Base in  
Colorado, Hawaii, Ascension Island in the Atlantic Ocean,  
Diego Garcia Atoll in the Indian Ocean and Kwajalein Island in  
the South Pacific Ocean. Each of the monitor stations checks  
the exact altitude, position, speed and overall health of the  
orbiting satellites. The control segment uses measurements  
collected by the monitor stations to predict each satellite's  
orbit and clock. The prediction data is up-linked, or

GPS service provides users with extremely accurate  
positioning information anywhere on or near the surface of  
the earth. To accomplish this, each of the 24 satellites emits  
signals to receivers below. GPS determines location by  
computing the difference between the time that a signal is  
sent and the time it is received. GPS satellites carry atomic  
clocks that provide extremely accurate time information. The  
time information is placed in the codes broadcast by the  
transmitted, to the satellites for transmission back to the

users. The control segment also ensures that the  
GPS satellite orbits and clocks remain as designed. A  
station can track up to 11 satellites at a time. Each station  
performs this "check-up" twice a day, as the satellites  
complete their journeys around the earth. Noted variations,  
such as those caused by the gravity of the moon and sun and  
the pressure of solar radiation, are passed along to the  
master control station.

satellites are so accurate because even an extremely  
small time inaccuracy would translate into a extremely  
large position difference (1/100 of a second inaccuracy  
translates to a position difference of 1,860 miles to any  
GPS receiver).  
Your Cobra® GPS 100 has the ability to display various types  
of information to you. In order to take advantage of the rich  
information available to you, it is important that you  
understand the meaning of certain terms. Below is a list of  
terms that will aid you in using your Cobra® GPS 100.  
External Components  
The exterior of the GPS satellite has a variety of  
Accuracy - the distance within which the unit can accurately  
locate a position  
Avg Speed - average speed throughout the current  
navigation  
Bearing - the direction you are currently heading  
Date - the current date  
Destination - the destination is the last point on a route, or  
the end of a track  
Elevation - your current elevation above sea level  
ETA - Estimated Time of Arrival, based on the average speed  
you have traveled over the course of your entire route or track  
Location - your current location shown in degrees/minutes  
of latitude and longitude  
Max Speed - the highest speed that you have traveled  
during the current navigation  
Odometer - total cumulative distance traveled since the last  
time the odometer was reset  
The last of the three pieces of the control segment of GPS  
are the ground antennas. Ground antennas monitor and track  
the satellites from horizon to horizon. They also transmit  
correction information to individual satellites.  
antennas. The signals generated by the radio transmitter  
are sent to your Cobra® GPS receiver via L-band  
antennas. Another component of the satellite is the radio  
transmitter, which generates the signal. Each of the 24  
satellites transmits its own unique code in the signal.  
Gauges Page  
Set Data Display  
Space Segment  
The space segment includes the satellites and the Delta  
rockets that launch the satellites from Cape Canaveral in  
Florida. GPS satellites fly in circular orbits at an altitude of  
10,900 miles (17,500 km) and with a period of 12 hours.  
The orbits are tilted to the earth's equator by 55 degrees to  
ensure coverage of the polar regions. Powered by solar cells,  
the satellites continuously orient themselves to point their  
solar panels toward the sun and their antenna toward the  
earth. Each of the 24 satellites, positioned in 6 orbital  
planes, circles the earth twice a day.  
User Segment  
You and your Cobra® GPS receiver are a part of the user  
segment along with many other private individuals and  
military personnel and their GPS receivers. Military GPS  
equipment has been integrated into fighters, bombers,  
tankers, helicopters, ships, submarines, tanks, jeeps and  
soldiers' equipment. GPS is also used on Space Shuttles.  
Cutting-edge Satellite navigation technology coupled with  
your Cobra® GPS receiver can help overcome many of the  
hardships and hazards associated with recreation. Your  
Cobra® GPS receiver allows you to go practically anywhere  
with confidence knowing precisely where you are at all times.  
With your Cobra® GPS receiver, you will be able to record  
accurately any location and return to that precise spot time  
and again, any time, anywhere.

The satellites are composed of three major subsystems: Solar  
Panels, Internal Components and External Components.  
Solar Panels  
Each satellite is equipped with solar array panels. These  
panels capture energy from the sun, which provides  
power for the satellite throughout its life.

Navigating with the GPS 100  
The Five Main Pages  
Your GPS 100 receives signals from Global Positioning System satellites that  
are in fixed orbits (stationary relative to the ground) around the earth. By  
acquiring – or locking onto – the signals from at least three satellites, your  
unit can use triangulation to precisely determine your current position, elevation  
above sea level and bearing (the direction you are traveling). As you travel,  
the unit automatically acquires the strongest satellite signals available at your  
current location. By becoming familiar with the unit’s basic operating features,  
you will be able to use its powerful navigational capabilities.  
In the following sections of this manual, you will learn how to use five main  
pages to access all the features of your GPS 100:  
Map Page ꢀ  
The Map page displays a map of your current position in relation to any  
waypoints that you have selected. It can show you the direction of travel to  
a selected destination. The Map page also shows you the track that you

Sources of Interference / Errors:  
What is WAAS?  
About North Reference  
GPS receivers have the potential for position errors due to  
interference, primarily from the following sources:  
Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is a GPS-based  
navigation system that provides precision above and beyond  
what GPS can do on its own. WAAS was designed to improve  
the accuracy and ensure the integrity of information coming  
from GPS satellites.  
The vertical grid lines on any map can be aligned in one of  
three different ways.  
When satellite lock is lost  
Ionosphere and troposphere delays  
“True North” means that the vertical lines are aligned with  
the geographic north pole. This is the most common method  
of orienting maps.  
Whenever satellite lock is lost, the following animation  
sequence appears onscreen and continues to loop until  
satellite lock is re-acquired.  
The satellite signal slows as it passes through the atmosphere.  
The system uses a built-in model that calculates an average  
– though not exact – amount of delay.  
WAAS is a network of 25 ground reference stations that  
cover the entire U.S. plus parts of Canada and Mexico.  
Implemented by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)  
for aviation users, these reference stations are located at  
precisely surveyed spots and compare GPS distance  
measurements to known values. When the WAAS signal is  
available, WAAS-capable receivers typically have a much  
higher accuracy than non-WAAS units.  
“Magnetic North” means that the vertical lines are aligned  
in the direction indicated as north by a compass, which can  
differ from True North to varying amounts, depending on  
where you are on the earth. (This difference is called  
“inclination”and “declination.”)  
Signal multi-path  
This occurs when the GPS signal is reflected off objects such  
as tall buildings before it reaches the receiver. This increases  
the travel time of the signal, causing errors.  
When GPS is turned Off  
Whenever GPS is turned Off, the following animation  
sequence occurs and continues to loop until search is  
activated by user.  
“Grid North” refers to the direction in which the straight lines  
on a map are actually aligned, which may be slightly different  
from True North, because the rounded surface of the earth  
can not be accurately depicted on the flat surface of a map.  
Receiver clock errors  
The built-in clock can have very slight timing errors.  
What is a Map Datum?  
Orbital errors  
Also known as ephemeris errors, these are inaccuracies of the  
satellite’s reported location.  
Maps and charts are essentially grids created from a starting  
reference point called a “datum.” Many maps being used  
today were originally created decades ago. Over the years,  
technology has allowed us to improve our surveying skills  
and create more accurate maps. However, there is still a  
need to adapt GPS receivers to use with older maps.  
Also, all data fields (except for power status data  
fields) appear blank until GPS is turned On and  
satellite lock is re-acquired.  
Most common error  
Most common error is not having a clear view of the sky, or  
being under very cloudy conditions, when a satellite signal  
may not be received.  
Most navigational charts and maps will have the datum listed.  
Cobra® GPS receivers include up to 100 map datums that  
allow you to switch to a setting that matches your map. The  
most common US map datums are World Geodetic System  
1984 (WGS 84), North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83)  
and North American Datum 1927 (NAD 27)  
Number of satellites visible  
The more satellites the receiver can see, the better the  
accuracy. Buildings, terrain, electronic interference or even  
dense foliage can block signal reception, resulting in position  
errors or possibly no position reading at all. In general, the  
clearer the view of the sky is at your location, the better  
the reception will be. GPS receivers will not work indoors,  
underwater or underground.  
NOTE: Using a map datum that does not match the chart  
you are using can result in significant differences in position  
information.  
Due to the errors that might occur, it is recommended that  
the serious navigator use a second navigational tool, such as  
a magnetic compass or map.
