How GPS 2

All GPS can be stored in memory several Waypoints, which can delete, edit, and identified by alpha numeric characters. Some GPS allow you to group a sequence of waypoints representing a route, this route is called. DISTANCE: entering the coordinates of two points, the distance function of the GPS information to separate the two and the direction in degrees to be followed from the beginning to the marked target. The same can be done with two waypoints. NAVIGATION: Entering a waypoint as a destination and another as a source, this function continuously updated to provide the following information: Contact-Rumbo (Bearing), heading in degrees that we must continue from the current position to reach the destination. “Current Heading (Heading track) Heading in degrees that we at that time. A GPS is an accurate compass is not affected by magnetic fields and metals from vehicles. -Distance: The GPS tells us the distance remaining in a straight line reach our destination. Cross-Error: (CDI, XTE) The GPS tells us of the transverse distance ideal path in a straight line from start to destination. -Speed (Speed) The rate at which the GPS is moving. -Estimated time of arrival (ETA, TTG) Indicates the estimated time of arrival at destination in a straight line at constant speed (for obvious reasons only applicable to aviation and shipping.) -Estimated travel time: (TEE) Estimated travel time to the speed provided by the GPS. SET UP: The set function is used to set up the GPS and control thus giving the information, eg. if you want data displayed in miles or km, in feet or meters. etc. as the coordinate system that can use the system Lat / Lon, UTM, and the different GRID. -Datum (map datum) represents a geometrical system of land. The DATUM subfunction to select among dif. systems that are based on maps and charts. North-Reference: (North Reference) lets you choose the model of north (magnetic, indicated by the compass) or true (true) that the GPS take to give the information on current course and contact. “Distance Units: (Dist. units) This sub-function allows selected length units of information (km, miles and nautical miles) Elevation-units: (Elev. units) This allows a choice between meter and feet. -Time: (Time) Select the time format, you can choose between UT (universal time) and GMT. Some models also bring local time.

BASIC NAVIGATION

Initializes the GPS. After the previous settings, we must place ourselves in an open pit area for the terminal is switched on, determine its new position and know which satellites are at that moment is in? View?. Currently I tend to do automatically, but you get the approximate coordinates we introduce our position. The first time it will take a few minutes to initialize, but at the following times, but it takes a long while since we use it, or turn on after a long journey, will be operational within seconds.

1st practice. Let us start with theory and a practical exercise very basic, but that fully reflects the philosophy of GPS navigation and ultimately, the practice is the best way to understand and learn the use of any tool.

For this first experience we can do so from the door of our own home, start with initialize the positioner, once you tell us that they are operational, we will mark this location and save it as a waypoint, which we can call home, for example. Then start walking (we look at the speed in km / ha which we walk), when we make a significant change of direction (+45 ?), we will take the waypoint? What we call 001, and so on, it is not necessary much longer the walk, with enough will get 5 points.

The time has come to ours? Marvel of art? guide us to our house, we will initially with the most basic function: located in the last waypoint? WP004, using the keypad on the earlier we will? WP003-and ask a GOTO, and we screen pointer will indicate the direction and course that we should take, no doubt arrive at WP003 (you can see the distance to the WP003, as you walk toward him), if increases are not going the right direction.

IMPORTANT: GPS MUST BE MOVING TO WORK, IF OS PARADISE BE FLAWED DATA.

As you have done previously, you can do to turn the WP002 and WP003 this the first we call HOUSE.

Taking advantage of that and we have 5 waypoints stored, we will exercise a bit more advanced:

With the instructions provided us with the GPS, we’ll create a route, ie WP will tell you that we want to go HOME WP001, WP002 this the WP004 and so on.

Once you create a route, we just have to say that navigation starts, we’ll be leading by one point to another without having to Gouty, to reach a point jumps automatically to the next until the end of the route.

The last practice that we propose to familiaric?is with this system you can make to the continuation of the previous, from WP004, look in the TRACK menu function. This screen will indicate the percentage of memory that we have occupied, with previous years we have certainly not exhausted, so it will ask for a BACK TRACK automatically and also with the screen pointer, faithfully guided us to the starting point — CASA-WP

For the function TRACK we have to be outstanding memory capacity we have, to not lose track of the principle points of the route, you should delete the stored before starting a new route, thus ensuring 100% of the memory.
