How GPS and Cartography Work  
Your 700 Series™ Chartplotter supports GPS and chartplotting, and uses GPS  
to determine your position and display it on a grid. The Global Positioning  
System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system designed and maintained by the  
U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military use;  
however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position  
capabilities, typically within +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This  
means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 10  
meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver also uses information from  
WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the European  
Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite  
Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in your area.  
GPS uses a constellation of 24 satellites that  
continually send radio signals to the earth. Your  
present position is determined by receiving signals  
from up to 16 satellites and measuring the  
distance from the satellites.  
All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded signal  
once per second at exactly the same time. The GPS  
receiver on your boat receives signals from  
satellites that are visible to it. Based on time  
differences between each received signal, the GPS  
receiver determines its distance to each satellite.  
With distances known, the GPS receiver  
mathematically triangulates its own position.  
With once per second updates, the GPS receiver  
then calculates its velocity and bearing.

The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the 700 Series™  
Chartplotter when it is connected to the included GPS receiver:  
• View current position  
• View current track (breadcrumb trail)  
• View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver  
• Save tracks, waypoints and routes  
• Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next.  
Your 700 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™ and HotMaps™ Premium  
on MMC or SD card media.  
NOTE: Your 700 Series™ does not support Navionics® Classic Charts, only Navionics® Gold,  
HotMaps™, and HotMaps™ Premium.  
Your unit also comes with a built-in UniMap™ with a more detailed map of  
North America (Domestic models) or a more detailed map of Europe and  
Southeast Asia, including Australia and New Zealand (International models).  
Your 700 Series™ uses the GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat  
automatically, and uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select  
the best chart to display. See Viewing Cartography for more information.

Multi-Media Card  
(MMC)/SD Slot  
Your 700 Series™ Chartplotter also has a multi-  
media card (MMC)/SD slot that is used to insert  
optional-purchase cards containing additional  
detailed maps. If you insert an MMC/SD that  
contains a more detailed chart for a particular  
location, your 700 Series™ Chartplotter will  
retrieve that chart and display it automatically.  
Inserting an MMC/SD  
into the Card Slot  
Use the illustration to locate the position of the MMC/SD slot cover, remove the  
MMC/SD slot cover, then insert the MMC/SD into the slot. The label on the  
MMC/SD should face toward the right side of the unit. Press down on the card  
until it clicks into place, then replace the slot cover, making certain that the  
gasket is present and positioned correctly before re-installing the cover, then  
replace and tighten snugly - do NOT overtighten, as this will not improve water  
resistance, and may damage the cover.  
Software Updates  
Use the MMC/SD slot to update the software version of your control head. To  
update the software in your control head, plug in the appropriate MMC/SD card  
that contains a software update file; the unit will recognize it, will tell you what  
software version your control head is currently running, and will ask you if you  
want to update the software in the unit to match that on the MMC/SD card.  
You can obtain software updates from the www.humminbird.com website.

Bird’s Eye Views  
Bird's Eye Views - The Standard Bird's Eye, Bird's Eye Big Digits, and Bird's Eye No  
Readouts Views show a 3-D, perspective view of the track and the chart’s land  
contour from a point above and behind the boat (the eye point). As the boat turns,  
the eye point moves to follow the boat.  
When you press the 4-WAY Cursor key in the Bird’s Eye View, the position of the  
eye point will shift. This allows you to move and turn the eye point so that you can  
look off to the sides, or even behind the boat. Pressing the RIGHT or LEFT arrow  
keys on the 4-WAY Cursor key turns the eye point right or left, while pressing  
the UP arrow key moves the eye point forward, and pressing the DOWN arrow  
key moves the eye point backward.  
Pressing the EXIT key moves the eye point back to its original position behind  
and above the boat.  
NOTE: Standard Bird's Eye View and Chart View share the same set of 9 readouts, 7 of which  
are adjustable. When you change the readouts display on the Bird's Eye View, you also are  
changing them on the Chart View.

Instrument View  
Instrument View allows you to display a digital instrument panel with 8  
selectable readouts. This view provides a digital compass at the top of the view,  
as well as 8 selectable readouts, and a Cross Track Error (XTE) graphic at the  
bottom of the view. The XTE graphic shows the boat's position in relation to the  
Off Course Alarm limits, as well as the optimal route (shown as the dotted line  
in the middle). You should try to keep the boat as close to the dotted line as  
possible for best results. If your course exceeds the Off Course Alarm limits, an  
alarm will sound, and the boat icon will change position and will turn from  
black to red to indicate the alarm state.  
NOTE: Bird's Eye Big Digits View, Chart Big Digits View, and Instrument View all share the  
same set of 8 readouts. When you change the readouts display on one of these three views,  
you are also changing them on the other two views. See Navigation X-Press™ menu: Select

Screen Snapshot View  
Screen Snapshot View displays and allows you to view screen snapshot  
thumbnails captured to an optional-purchase MMC/SD card installed in your  
unit. In addition, when you are in the Screen Snapshot View, Delete Image and  
Delete All Images are added to the X-Press™ menu.  
The Screen Snapshot View displays up to three screen snapshot thumbnails on  
the screen at a time; you may have to scroll using the 4-WAY Cursor keys to see  
the whole list of thumbnails in this view. The selected thumbnail will be  
highlighted with arrows.  
NOTE: The speed of the screen capture depends on the type of card you use; in general, SD  
cards capture the screen faster than MMC cards do.

Screen Snapshot: When Screen Snapshot is enabled (from the Accessories  
menu tab), pressing the MARK key creates a saved screen capture (when you  
have an optional-purchase MMC/SD card installed). Once you have created a  
screen capture, a screen capture thumbnail is added to the Screen Snapshot  
View, and is available to view at a later date. See the full-sized image by  
highlighting a thumbnail (using the Up or Down 4-Way Cursor keys), then using  
the Right 4-Way Cursor key to view the full image. A border around the full-size  
screen snapshot indicates that it is just a screen snapshot, not a “live” view.  
You can delete the selected image, or all images, by selecting a thumbnail and  
using Delete Image, or using Delete All Images from the Screen Snapshot  
X-Press™ menu.  
Working with screen snapshots is a four-step process:  
1. Enabling Screen Snapshot from the Accessories Menu.  
2. Making a Screen Snapshot using the MARK key.  
3. Viewing a Screen Snapshot using the Screen Snapshot View.  
4. Deleting a Screen Snapshot using the Screen Snapshot X-Press™  
menu.  
For more information, see Accessories Menu Tab: Using Screen Snapshot and  
Screen Snapshot X-Press™ Menu.  
When you start a screen snapshot, you will see a message that a waypoint has  
been created at the point where your cursor is on the screen, and the screen  
will freeze while the snapshot is being saved to the MMC/SD card. A status  
dialog box will appear that shows the progress of the save as a percentage, and  
that displays the numbered file name assigned to the .BMP file that is being  
created. Snapshot filenames begin with the letter "S". For more information,  
see the Accessories Menu Tab: Using Screen Snapshot procedure and Screen  
Snapshot X-Press™ Menu.

View Orientation  
All the Chart views allow you to choose the orientation of the view. When  
North-Up orientation is selected, True North is shown at the top of the display.  
In other words, objects located to the north of the boat are drawn above the  
boat. When Course-Up orientation is selected, the direction of motion of the  
boat is shown at the top of the display. In other words, objects ahead of the boat  
are drawn above the boat. In both orientations, the view pans automatically, so  
that the boat is always centered on the display. When the boat is stationary, it  
is drawn as a circle. When the boat is in motion, it takes on a boat shape,  
pointed in the direction of motion (always Up in the Course-Up orientation).

Viewing Cartography  
In the Chart Views, there are several cartography-related functions that you can  
access using various keys.  
Panning: Use the 4-WAY Cursor keys to  
move the chart around on the display in  
the direction of the key being pressed.  
When you do this, a bull's eye cursor is  
drawn at the center of the screen and is  
linked to the boat by a gray line, even if  
the boat is off the screen. At the same  
time, the distance and bearing from the  
boat to the cursor position and the  
latitude/longitude coordinates of the  
cursor are displayed in the upper info  
boxes.  
Zooming: Use the Plus (+) key to Zoom In  
and the Minus (-) key to Zoom Out showing  
the cartography at different scales. The  
scale is indicated on the left side of the  
Chart View with Cursor Present,  
shown with Optional-Purchase  
Navionics® Cartography  
display. If you zoom in beyond the available chart data, the display will go into  
Overzoom mode whereby the last available chart data is amplified to reflect the  
scale selected. If you zoom in so far that no cartography is available, a lat/lon  
grid will be drawn instead.  
Chart Info: Use the INFO key to get detailed information about the chart  
through the Chart Info submenu. If the cursor is active, you will see information  
about the chart objects located near the cursor. If the cursor is not active, the  
Chart Info menu will appear. You can select the nearest port, the nearest tide  
station, or the nearest current station to see information about any of these  
objects using the 4-WAY Cursor Control key.  
NOTE: The built-in UniMap™ does not contain any Port, Tide or Current information. This  
information is only available from optional-purchase MMC/SD cards.

Introduction to Navigation  
Use your Chartplotter to establish waypoints at areas of interest and to  
navigate to those waypoints via a savable route (representing the shortest  
intended distance between waypoints). You can also view and save tracks,  
which represent the actual path of the boat.

Waypoints, Routes and Tracks  
Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or  
navigation points. Your Chartplotter can store up to 3000 waypoints.

Position of Boat  
Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation, and  
are used in trip planning. You can link individual waypoints together by using the  
GOTO key. A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest  
path from each waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying on the route  
line is the most efficient way to get to your destination, although you should  
always look out for obstacles not shown on the chart. Your 700 Series™  
Chartplotter can store up to 50 routes that can each contain up to 50 waypoints.  
Tracks consist of detailed position history, and are displayed as a breadcrumb  
trail of trackpoints. The Current Track shows the position history since the unit  
was powered up (maximum of 20,000 trackpoints displayed). You can clear the  
Current Track or save it at any time. Your 700 Series™ Chartplotter can store up  
to 50 saved tracks, each containing 20,000 trackpoints. The current track  
represents your actual path so far.

Man Overboard (MOB) Navigation  
As soon as you know that you have a man overboard, you should activate MOB  
navigation to maximize chances for a successful rescue. MOB navigation  
allows you create an MOB waypoint to locate the point at which your man went  
overboard, and the relation of the boat to that point. When MOB is activated,  
an MOB waypoint, which is a permanent, sharable waypoint with a large,  
distinctive icon, is created at the boat's current position (regardless of whether  
the chart cursor is active or not). Any current navigation will be cancelled and  
the current route discarded without user notification, and MOB navigation will  
begin immediately. A line will be drawn from the boat's current position to the  
MOB waypoint, and the MOB waypoint will be targeted. The view is switched  
to the Chart View automatically when MOB is activated, and an additional info  
box that shows the lat/lon position of the MOB waypoint and the elapsed time  
since MOB was activated is added to the Chart View. This information will  
automatically be added to the Bird's Eye and Instrument Views as well.  
It is not possible to re-activate MOB or modify the current route without first  
canceling MOB navigation. The Off Course trigger is also disabled and the Off  
Course Alarm circle is not drawn. Any press of the GOTO key, or selection of a  
GOTO menu item, will cause an error beep and a short message will be  
displayed to the user that will disappear after 2 seconds.  
Activate MOB navigation: Press and hold the GOTO key for more than 1.5  
seconds to activate the Man Overboard (MOB) function.  
Cancel MOB navigation: From the Navigation X-Press™ menu, select Cancel  
MOB and press the RIGHT Cursor key. Canceling MOB navigation removes the  
route and any waypoints created using the GOTO key, but does not remove any  
saved routes from memory, nor does it remove the MOB waypoint. To delete the  
MOB waypoint after you have cancelled MOB navigation, use the Navigation  
X-Press™ menu to select the MOB Waypoint, then press the RIGHT Cursor key  
to view the MOB Waypoint submenu, then use the 4-WAY Cursor Control keys  
to delete the MOB Waypoint.  
NOTE: The actual MOB waypoint will remain in the Navigation X-Press™ menu until you  
delete it manually. To delete the MOB waypoint after you have cancelled MOB navigation,  
select it from the Navigation X-Press™ menu using the RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control key, then  
select Delete from the MOB Waypoint submenu. A confirmation dialog box will appear,  
allowing you to confirm the deletion or to cancel it.

Snapshot is enabled but there is no GPS receiver connected, pressing the  
MARK key will capture the screen image and display an error saying that a GPS  
position fix is required to create a waypoint.  
GOTO Key  
The GOTO Key has multiple functions, depending on the situation:  
• If the Cursor is active, pressing the GOTO key while in any view creates  
a waypoint and starts navigation towards that waypoint. If the Cursor is  
not active, pressing the GOTO key displays the list of waypoints, so that  
you can select the waypoint towards which you want to navigate.  
• If the GOTO key is pressed and held for more than 1.5 seconds, the Man

Using Screen Snapshot  
Screen Snapshot activates the screen  
snapshot function. When Screen Snapshot is enabled, pressing the MARK key  
creates a saved screen capture on the optional-purchase MMC/SD card  
installed in your unit’s card slot. All menus, dialog boxes, warnings and  
messages are captured and saved automatically.  
Once you have created a screen capture, a screen capture thumbnail is added  
to the Screen Snapshot View, and is available to view at a later date. See the  
full-sized image by highlighting a thumbnail (using the Up or Down 4-Way  
Cursor keys), then using the Right 4-Way Cursor key to view the full image. A  
border around the full-size screen snapshot indicates that it is just a screen  
snapshot, not a “live” view. You can delete the highlighted image, or all images,  
by selecting a thumbnail and using Delete Image, or using Delete All Images  
from the Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu. You can view these captures on the  
Screen Snapshot View, which shows any existing thumbnails of the screen  
captures.  
NOTE: You must have an optional-purchase MMC/SD card installed for the Screen Snapshot  
feature to work.  
NOTE: If you use your MMC/SD card in two different control heads that have different screen  
sizes, the Screen Snapshot made on one unit will still be present on the card, but will be  
represented by the Unavailable icon (circle with a slanted line through it) on the Screen  
Snapshot View on the other unit.  
To turn Screen Snapshot on or off:  
1. Highlight Screen Snapshot on the Accessories main menu.  
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to turn Screen  
Snapshot On or Off (Off, On, Default = Off).  
To make a screen snapshot (Screen Snapshot must be enabled):  
1. Make sure you have installed an optional-purchase MMC/SD card into  
your card slot.  
2. From any view you want to capture, press the MARK key. When you  
start a screen capture, you will see a message that a waypoint has  
been created at the point where your cursor is on the screen, and the  
screen will freeze while the snapshot is being saved to the MMC/SD

card. A status dialog box will appear that shows the progress of the  
save as a percentage, and that displays the numbered file name  
assigned to the .BMP file that is being created.  
NOTE: For more information, see Screen Snapshot View and Screen Snapshot X-Press™  
Menu.  
NOTE: Navigation is not affected by the Screen Snapshot feature. Also, if Screen Snapshot is  
enabled but there is no GPS receiver connected, pressing the MARK key will capture the screen  
image and display an error saying that a GPS position fix is required to create a waypoint.  
NOTE: The speed of the capture depends on the type of card you use; in general, SD cards  
capture the screen faster than MMC cards do.  
To view screen snapshots:  
1. Make sure that the optional-purchase MMC/SD card used to capture  
the screen is installed in your card slot.  
2. Press the VIEW key until you see the Screen Snapshot View.  
3. You can scroll through the whole list of captures in this view using the  
4-WAY Cursor keys. Highlight a thumbnail (using the Up or Down  
4-Way Cursor keys), then use the Right 4-Way Cursor key to view  
the full image. A border around the full-size screen capture indicates  
that it is just a screen capture, not a “live” view. You can delete the  
highlighted image, or all captured images, using the Snapshot  
X-Press™ menu. (See Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu: Delete  
Image and Delete All Images for more information).  
NOTE: When you highlight a snapshot thumbnail, the amount of room remaining on the SD  
card will be displayed.  
NOTE: The waypoints that are created by a snapshot have the same name as the file and use  
a custom waypoint icon. Screen Snapshot filenames begin with the letter "S".  
NOTE: You may view data files associated with each screen snapshot by removing the  
MMC/SD card from your unit and installing it in your optional-purchase MMC/SD card reader  
connected to a PC. Use Windows Explorer to see the contents of your MMC/SD card; you will  
notice that a .DAT (may show up as .TXT) file is created for every .BMP screen capture; this data  
file includes the thumbnail view, and is required in order to be able to view the screen snapshot  
from your unit, so don’t delete these files.

Troubleshooting  
Before contacting the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center, please read the  
following section. Taking the time to review these troubleshooting guidelines  
may allow you to solve a performance problem yourself, and therefore avoid  
sending your unit back for repair.  
Chartplotter Doesn’t Power Up  
If your Chartplotter doesn’t power up, use the Installation Guide that also  
comes with it for specific confirmation details, making sure that:  
• The power cable is properly connected to the Chartplotter control head.  
• The power cable is wired correctly, with red to positive battery terminal  
and black to negative terminal or ground.  
• The fuse is operational.  
• The battery voltage of the power connector is at least 10 Volts.  
Correct any known problems, including removing corrosion from the battery  
terminals or wiring, or actually replacing the battery if necessary.

Display Problems  
There are several main conditions or sources of possible interference that may  
cause problems with the quality of the information displayed on the control  
head. Look in the following table for some symptoms of display problems and  
possible solutions:  
Problem  
Possible Cause  
The control head loses  
power at high speeds.  
If the power output of your boat’s engine is  
unregulated, the control head may be protecting  
itself using its over-voltage protection feature.  
Make sure the input voltage does not exceed  
20 Volts.  
Finding the Cause of Noise  
Electrical noise usually affects the display with many black dots at high speeds,  
and high sensitivity readings. One or more of the following sources can cause  
noise or interference:  
Possible Source of Noise Isolation  
Other electronic devices  
Turn off any nearby electronic devices to see if  
the problem goes away, then turn them on one  
at a time to see if the noise re-appears.  
The boat’s engine  
To determine whether the boat’s engine is the  
source of the noise, increase the RPMs while  
the boat is in neutral and stationary to see if the  
noise increases proportionately; if noise appears  
when you rev the engine, the problem could be  
the spark plugs, alternator, or tachometer  
wiring. Replace the spark plugs with resistor  
plugs, install an alternator filter, or route the  
control head power and transducer cables away  
from the engine wiring.

Glossary  
GPS & Navigation Terms:  
Acquisition Time: The length of time that a GPS receiver typically takes to  
determine a position from at least three satellites. Humminbird® GPS receivers  
provide very fast acquisition times (under one minute), permitting users to get out  
on the water faster.  
Alarm, Arrival: The audible alert that sounds when the boat is equal to or less than  
the alarm setting (25 feet – 3000 feet) from the location of the destination waypoint.  
Alarm, Drift: Drift Alarm is an audible alert that sounds when the boat is equal to  
or over the alarm setting (25 feet – 3000 feet) from the location where the alarm  
was turned on.  
Alarm, Off-Course: Off-Course Alarm is an audible alert that sounds when the  
boat’s distance from the intended Track, (Cross Track Error), is equal to or over the  
alarm setting (25 feet – 3000 feet). See Track and Cross Track Error.  
Altitude: Altitude measures height above sea level. Altitude is a measurement that  
can be provided by GPS.  
Bearing (BRG): Bearing is the direction to a destination waypoint measured in  
degrees from North (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South,  
270° is West).  
Chartplotter: Chartplotter describes a navigation device that shows Present  
Position on a Map, along with Tracks, Waypoints, and Routes. All Chartplotters are  
also considered Trackplotters. All Humminbird® GPS Combo units are  
Chartplotters. See Trackplotter.  
Cold Start: Cold Start refers to the procedure that a GPS receiver must perform  
when it does not have historical information regarding its current location. This  
procedure typically lasts for several minutes, and may be experienced upon first  
power up of the receiver, or if the receiver has been moved a great distance.  
Course Over Ground (COG): Course Over Ground is the current direction the boat  
is traveling measured in degrees from North (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090°  
East, 180° is South, 270° is West). When the Course Over Ground is equal to  
Bearing, the boat is said to be “On Course” and will arrive at the destination in the  
most efficient manner. COG is often confused with Heading. See Heading.  
103  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Cross Track Error (XTE): Cross Track Error is the straight-line distance of the boat  
from the intended Track. XTE measures how far the boat is off course, and also  
triggers the Off Course Alarm. See Track.  
Differential GPS (DGPS): Differential GPS is a system to improve the position  
accuracy of the Department of Defense GPS through the use of secondary  
“correction signals” broadcast from ground stations around the coastal United  
States and on some inland waterways. These correction signals are provided by  
the USCG and received by an auxiliary Differential Beacon Receiver (DBR) that  
connects to the GPS receiver. The advent of WAAS has largely negated the need  
for the added expense of a DBR in the United States.  
Distance To Go: Distance To Go is the straight-line distance between Present  
Position and the Destination Waypoint. DTG and SOG (Speed Over Ground) are  
used to calculate Time To Go. See Time to Go and Speed Over Ground.  
Estimated Position Error (EPE): Estimated Position Error is a calculation that  
indicates the potential position inaccuracy the user may experience due to a  
variety of GPS factors which include satellite position in the sky, signal strength  
and others factors.  
Fix Type: Fix Type indicates whether the GPS receiver is providing 2D fix or 3D fix. A  
2D fix requires only three satellites and provides only latitude and longitude. A 3D fix  
requires four or more satellites, and provides latitude, longitude and altitude.  
GPS: GPS is an acronym for Global Positioning System. GPS provides accurate  
position (latitude, longitude, altitude) information virtually anywhere on the earth  
through satellite technology and personal receivers on the ground. A series of  
geosynchronous satellites broadcast a unique signal toward the earth once per  
second. A GPS receiver, such as that included with many Humminbird® products,  
receives the signals from these satellites and is able to determine position based  
on very slight differences in the time each signal is received and the receiver’s  
knowledge of the location of each of the satellites.  
Heading: Heading describes the direction the boat is pointing and is measured in  
degrees (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West).  
Due to wind and waves, the boat is often traveling in a slightly different direction  
than it is heading, and therefore Heading is often confused with Course Over  
Ground. See Course Over Ground.

Map Datum: A Map Datum refers to a particular survey of the earth’s surface that  
was referenced when creating a chart (i.e. WGS84). Since the earth is not flat, and  
not even consistently round, a mathematical model must be used to translate  
coordinates from the sphere of the earth to the flat surface of a chart. This  
mathematical model is the Map Datum. Historically, many different Map Datums  
have been used around the world to create maps; often a reference to the Map  
Datum can be found in the legend of a paper map. It is important to select the  
correct Map Datum setting in your fishfinder when comparing GPS position to a  
paper chart to avoid slight position inaccuracies. Almost all electronic charts use  
the WGS84 Map Datum and therefore, they do not require setting changes.  
MMC: MMC is an acronym for Multi Media Card. An MMC is a postage stamp-  
sized memory device used to store electronic data such a maps, waypoints, routes  
and other information. MMC is a very rugged format suitable for the marine  
environment, but it is not waterproof. The MMC is removable from Humminbird®  
products, and can be used in a PC that is equipped with an appropriate card  
reader. MMC is the same format that many digital cameras use. See SD.  
North, Magnetic: North is the principle reference point of the compass (i.e. North  
is 000°). Magnetic North relies on the earth’s magnetic field to align a metal  
pointer generally towards True North. However, due to local variations in the  
earth’s magnetic field around the globe, the difference between True North and  
Magnetic North can be greater than 10°. See True North.  
North, True: North is the principle reference point of the compass (i.e. North is  
000°). True North uses the axis of the rotation of the earth as the reference for  
North and is constant for all points on the earth. Most GPS units default to True  
North as the setting. The GPS heading may vary from the boat compass heading  
because the compass uses Magnetic North. Humminbird® GPS units provide the  
option of selecting True or Magnetic readouts by using the North Reference menu.  
See Magnetic North.  
Present Position: Present Position is the current location (latitude, longitude)  
determined by GPS. The Present Position is indicated on-screen by a directional  
boat icon if the boat is moving, or a round symbol if the boat is stationary.  
105  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Route: A Route is series of waypoints linked together in a specific sequence to  
define a navigation path between two points, and saved in the fishfinder’s  
memory. Routes are often used when frequently traveling between two or more  
locations because it is a faster and more accurate method than repeatedly  
selecting individual waypoints each time one travels through the same area.  
Routes consist of a Start Waypoint, an End Waypoint, and a series of waypoints  
in between. Users can begin navigation at the beginning, the end (to run the route  
in reverse) or at any waypoint in between. See Waypoint.  
SD: SD is an acronym for Secure Digital. An SD card is virtually identical in  
function to an MMC; however, the speed at which information can be accessed is  
generally faster, the storage capacity is generally larger, and the card has security  
features which can be used to prevent extracting the data from the card. SD is the  
same format that many digital cameras use. See MMC.  
Selective Availability: Selective Availability (SA) is a GPS system “feature” that  
can be implemented by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to degrade the  
accuracy of GPS positioning information. With SA active, the GPS is accurate to  
within 100 meters 95% of the time. With SA inactive, the GPS is accurate to within  
45 meters 95% of the time. Currently, SA is inactive and the consumer can enjoy  
the greater precision GPS provides; however, the DoD reserves the right to activate  
SA at any time.  
Speed Over Ground (SOG): Speed Over Ground is the measurement of the boat’s  
progress across a given distance, and is the speed measurement provided by GPS.  
An alternate, Speed Through Water, is provided by a speed paddlewheel, and is  
the measurement of the flow past the boat, which may vary depending on current  
speed and direction. Speed Over Ground is optimal for navigation because  
accurate destination times can be derived from this measurement. Humminbird®  
products allow for input and display of both speed measurements.  
Time To Go (TTG): Time To Go is the estimated time required to reach the destination  
waypoint. TTG is calculated using the SOG and DTG. See SOG and DTG.  
Track: A Track is a series of saved points that define the past path of the boat.  
These Track Points are saved at regular time intervals. Tracks are a useful and quick  
method to see where you’ve been, and an easy guide to follow to get you back to  
the starting point. Generally, all GPS units have a limited number of Track Points  
106  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
that can be saved before the unit runs out of memory and begins erasing the first  
track points saved. Because of this, the user can adjust the Track Point Interval  
menu to increase the amount of time between when points are saved, and thus  
extend the distance covered by a track. Tracks can also be permanently saved to  
memory, and re-displayed at the user’s option.  
Track Line (TRK): The Track Line is the desired line of travel between two  
waypoints, and represents the most efficient path between the two points  
because it is a straight line. The TRK is measured in degrees (i.e. 321°, where 000°  
is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West). See Cross Track Error and  
Course Over Ground.  
Trackplotter: Trackplotter describes a navigation device that shows Present  
Position, along with Track, Waypoint, and Routes, but NO MAP in the background.  
See Chartplotter.  
Trolling Grid: Trolling Grid is a Humminbird® feature that displays a precise  
reference grid around a waypoint. This grid is used as a guide pattern for trolling  
around a specific area to assure a more efficient and complete coverage of that  
area. Trolling Grid resolution be changed by zooming in or out on the chart. The  
Trolling Grid can also be rotated on the display to orient it for optimal boat course  
for wave and wind conditions.  
UTC: UTC is an acronym for Universal Time Constant. UTC is the “standard time”  
used in navigation, and is the local time in Greenwich England. (UTC is equivalent  
to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)). To display the correct Local Time in a  
Humminbird® GPS unit, the user must use the Local Time Zone menu and select  
the time zone (i.e. EST, CST).  
WAAS: WAAS is an acronym for Wide Area Augmentation System. WAAS is  
complementary technology to GPS that provides enhanced accuracy through  
correction signals broadcast from Federal Aviation Administration WAAS satellites  
stationed over the USA. These secondary signals are automatically received by the  
standard Humminbird® GPS Receiver. With WAAS signal, GPS accuracy is  
improved to within 3 meters 95% of the time. Outside the United States, regional  
governmental coalitions have created similar systems such as EGNOS (Europe)  
and MSAS (Japan).

Waypoint: A Waypoint is the saved location (latitude, longitude) of a point of  
interest that is stored in a GPS receiver’s memory. This can include a marker buoy,  
dock, fishing hole or anywhere else the user may want to return to. Humminbird®  
products offer the ability to name and assign a symbol to the saved location.  
Depth, Date and Time of Day when the waypoint was created is also saved.  
Waypoint Target: Waypoint Target is a Humminbird® feature that displays a  
precise “bull’s eye” around a selected waypoint. This bull’s eye is used to easily  
monitor boat position relative to a waypoint, and is useful for fishing over  
submerged structure. With Waypoint Targets, a quick look at the screen lets you  
know how far off the waypoint the boat has drifted.
