Section 1

Introduction to GPS Navigation

GPSOverview

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of24 satellites in six orbit lanes 10,898 nautical miles abovethe earth at an inclination angle of about 55 degrees fromthe equator. Each satellite orbits the earth twice in 24 hours.

The GPS was developed and the satellites launched by theU.S. Department of Defense with the original intent ofsupplying highly accurate position fix information formilitary applications. In recent years, commercialapplications for the information provided by this systemhave steadily increased in the civilian sector. Some of themore popular civilian uses of the system include surveyingand position fix data recording for civil engineeringapplications, and a broad range of marine, aviation, andterrestrial navigation applications.

While orbiting the earth, each GPS satellite transmitscomplex streams of data containing the operational statusand orbital location of all the satellites in the system. TheApollo 360 receives this data stream and processes theinformation to determine which satellites are “visible” tothe receiver’s antenna. With this determination made, the

Page 13: Apollo 360 GPS Receiver - Garminstatic.garmin.com/pumac/360GPS_UserGuide.pdf · Apollo 360 receives this data stream and processes the information to determine which satellites are

receiver chooses satellites to calculate a position fix. Usinginformation transmitted from three or more satellites, theunit can calculate latitude and longitude (usuallyabbreviated lat/lon); with four or more satellites, GPSaltitude can also be calculated.

GPSSystem

Accuracy

The GPS allows a high degree of position fix accuracy. Thesystem can produce a position fix accurate to within lessthan one meter. Due to concern for national security, theU.S. Department of Defense introduces constant errors tothe transmitted satellite data to degrade the accuracy of thesystem. Called Selective Availability, this practice limitsGPS position fix accuracy to about 100 meters, althoughthe relative position of the satellites to one another, theirelevation above the horizon, and other factors can alsoaffect accuracy of the position fix. Under optimalconditions, accuracy can improve to within 10 meters. GPSposition fix accuracy is not affected by atmosphericconditions.

GPS altitude is based on a mathematical model of thesphere of the earth. Including intentional degradation, GPSaltitude may differ from barometric altitude by severalhundred feet.

Summary Unlike navigation aids providing a position fix with datafrom land-based sources, the Apollo 360 can provide anaccurate position fix over land or sea anywhere in theworld. The unit includes an extensive database of usefulwaypoint information and allows you to create up to 2,000“customized” waypoints of your own. With the power ofthis navigation device in the cockpit, you can easilynavigate with unsurpassed accuracy.

Section 2

Introduction to the Apollo 360

This section introduces you to the Apollo 360 and explainshow to use and switch between the unit’s operatingfunctions. A description of information that shows on thedisplay when you use each function is included at the backof this section. Section 3 builds on the introductoryinformation presented here as you switch on and beginusing the Apollo 360.

TheOperatingFunctions

There are five main operating functions, each performinga different and unique task while you navigate. Eachfunction also provides one or more screens of informationon the display. At least one of these functions is always inuse when the unit is on. The functions operateindependently of one another, so you can switch betweenthem freely without disrupting navigation.

The five operating functions are:

Navigation (always active)

Menu

Goto and nearest

New waypoint

Waypoint information

As you set up and navigate a course with the Apollo 360,you will typically use several of these operating functions.During the trip, you will use the navigation function mostof the time to monitor your progress. To most effectivelyuse the Apollo 360, become well acquainted with eachoperating function.

MenuFunction

Use this function to access a menu of options that modifythe way navigation information shows on the display. Inthis way, you may customize the Apollo 360 to best suityour navigation requirements. The menu function alsocontrols many other important ways the unit operates.

Goto andNearest

Functions

The goto and nearest functions operate together. Press thiskey once for the goto function or twice for the nearestfunction. Use the goto function to assign a destinationwaypoint, perhaps one you create, or a waypoint from theApollo 360’s built-in database. The nearest function,always available when you use the goto function, providesa list of waypoints nearest to your present position. Thesetwo functions allow you to quickly and easily create a flightplan, or change it while navigating.

NewWaypointFunction

Use the waypoint function to create your own waypointsand store them in the Apollo 360’s memory. You can createup to 2,000 of your own waypoints, each with a name youchoose. You can create waypoints based upon your presentposition, or you can enter latitude and longitudecoordinates (usually abbreviated lat/lon) to define thewaypoint location.

WaypointInformation

Function

Use this function to get information about any waypoint inthe Apollo 360’s built-in database, including those youhave created and stored. Available information includes:

Waypoint identifier and type (airport, VOR, NDB, orintersection)

Bearing and distance to the waypoint from your currentposition

Lat/lon coordinates of waypoint

For airports, the elevation, fuel availability and type,radio communication frequencies, runway details, andmore

TheDisplay

The display shows information for each operatingfunction. This information typically includes navigationprogress, waypoint information, satellite tracking status,and menu options and selections. Display contrast and thedisplay backlight are adjustable to best suit viewingconditions in the cockpit. See “Screen Controls” inSection 5 for details on adjusting the screen.

DisplayCare andCleaningInstructions

Your new Apollo 360 GPS has a space-age anti-glare filmthat has been applied to the display screen. This is the samefilm that is used on the NASA Space Shuttle windows. Thesurface of the film has a hard coating that is scratchresistant. Despite this coating, extreme care must be takenwhen cleaning the display screen. To remove stains,smudges, fingerprints, and so forth, we recommend thesecleaning methods (if the first method fails to remove theproblem, try the next method):

Wipe with a clean, dry, non-abrasive fabric (forexample, cotton or Handi-wipes)

Blow on the area to condense moisture on the displayand then wipe the area with the clean fabric

Moisten a clean fabric with a small amount of water andwipe the display area

Apply a small amount of glass cleaner (withoutammonia) to the fabric and wipe the area

Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol and wipe thearea (this is the last resort)

Note:

Use a clean fabric with each cleaning method to avoidother contaminates.

Summary

Once you have become familiar with using the Apollo 360to navigate, you will find that switching between operatingfunctions is fast and easy and that you will do this oftenwhile navigating a trip. No matter which operatingfunction you use, the unit allows you to quickly and easilyreturn to the always active navigation function. Yourpresent position continues to be calculated withoutinterruption while you use the other operating functions.

Here is a quick review of the purpose of each operatingfunction.

Navigation function - providesinformation about your current positionand navigation progress, GPS satellitesignals, multiple legs trips, and messagesshowing important events or conditionswhile you navigate. You exit from otherfunctions to return to this one.

CheckingGPS

SignalStrength

After startup, the unit shows the GPS signal strength screenon the display, indicating that the navigation function isactive.

Note

While the Apollo 360 acquires signal information fromsatellites, the bars representing signal strength showgrey in color. This process takes place quickly. Whenthe unit has acquired the signals and begins trackingthe satellites, the bars change to black.

The GPS signal strength screen is the first to show onthe display after the unit starts up. Make it a habit tocheck this screen to make sure that the constellation ofsatellites are healthy and that the unit is properlytracking visible satellites before you fly.

In this example, the screen shows that six satellite signalsare being received. The question mark symbol (?) ishighlighted, indicating that information on the displayrelates to all visible satellites. The Apollo 360 requiressignals from at least four satellites to calculate a 3Dposition fix (lat/lon and GPS altitude).

CheckingEach

Satellite

Turn the SMALL knob to viewinformation about each of the visiblesatel l i tes. This example showsinformation about satellite 25.

Important!

The GPS antenna must be able to “see” each satelliteit is tracking. If a satellite is “shaded” by the wing orfuselage during a turn, it may temporarily loose trackof that satellite. If this happens, or if the geometry ofthe satellites available is poor, the unit may temporarilycalculate a “2D Fix” or “DR Fix” (dead reckoning).

NOTICE

Apollo 360 GPS units, part number 430-0256-01,contain an 8-channel GPS receiver instead of the6-channel receiver used in earlier units. The 8-channelApollo 360 GPS units provide performace that is equalto or better than the 6-channel models. However, theSatellite Tracking Page will only show tracking statusof the satellites assigned to channels 1 through 6. It ispossible that up to 2 satellites that are in track ( thoseassigned to channels 7 and 8) will not appear on theSatellite Tracking Page.

When you see one of these alerts on the display, follow theinstruction shown to clear it. Clearing the alert removes itfrom the display. The screen shown before the alertappeared returns to the display.

The current messages screen serves as a review of any alertspresented this way during the trip. Alert messages that showon the screen must be valid at the time you check them orthey will not show as a current message. Press ENT, asshown on the current message screen, to view other currentmessages (if available).

PresentPositionScreen

This screen shows the lat/long coordinates of your presentposition, GPS altitude, and any course deviation fromdesired track.

When you fly, this screen can be valuable to check yourposition against a chart with close precision. Keep in mindthat GPS altitude is not based on the same criteria asbarometric altitude which uses a pressure offset value. GPSaltitude is also affected by selective availability.

Course deviation shows in the rectangular CourseDeviation Indicator (CDI) at the bottom of the display. Theairplane symbol moves over the graduated CDI to showyour current distance left or right of desired track. You canselect CDI range and units of measure using the menufunction options “CDI Scale” and “Units of Measure”described in Section 5.

The Waypoint Database

DatabaseStructure

The Apollo 360 provides an extensive built-in database ofwaypoint information to aid the navigator.

Waypoints in the database are divided into 5 categories bytype. This category structure allows you to more easilyselect a waypoint as a destination, search for waypointinformation, search for nearest waypoints, or displaywaypoints on moving map screens. The database filterswaypoints by these types whenever you use it, controlling,organizing, and speeding the delivery of information.

The waypoint types are:

Airports (ARPTs)

Non-directional beacons (NDBs)

Very high frequency omniranges (VORs)

Enroute intersections (INTs)

User created (USERs)

AvailableWaypointInformation

The following information is available for each waypointtype. Use the waypoint INFO function to get thisinformation as Section 2 describes in “WaypointInformation Function.”

Appendix C

Tutorial

This appendix presents a tutorial on using the built-insimulator to practice “flying” the Apollo 360. Use thistutorial at your own pace to become familiar with using theunit.

During the tutorial, you will use many of the Apollo 360’sfeatures as you would during an actual trip. All operatingfunctions are available while you use the simulator. Eachwill work the same way when you actually navigate later.

With the aircraft parked, take some time to settle into thecockpit and follow the instructions in this appendix to takea trip. As you navigate with the simulator, feel free toexperiment with the features as much as you like. Theinstructions here should serve only as a general guide. Thegoal of this tutorial is to help you become comfortableusing the Apollo 360.

Important

Enter a seed position, and the current time and date asSection 2 describes before using the simulator.

When you finish using the simulator, switch the unit off.The next time you switch it on, simulator mode will beautomatically canceled and the unit will be set to aviationmode for actual navigation.

Preparingfor the

Trip

Before you navigate a trip, determine whether you will flydirect to a waypoint, or navigate a route of severalwaypoints. This tutorial presents instructions to set upeither kind of trip. It may be helpful to first navigate directto a destination before setting up a route to travel.

Originatingthe Trip

The Apollo 360’s simulator uses your present position asthe point of origin for the trip unless you have already usedthe unit to navigate a route. If this is the case, refer to thetutorial section entitled “Navigating a Route” later in thissection, or deactivate your route and continue. Theseexercises assume your present position is the point oforigin for the trip.

Assigninga Direct

Waypoint How to Do This

1. Press the GOTO key.

Note:

Prepare to choose a waypoint close toyour present position to keep the triplength under approximately 40 nm.

2. Turn the SMALL knobto select the firstcharacter of thedestination waypointname.

Startinga Route

With the route you just created showing on the screen,select “START” and press the ENT key.

The arrow marker points to line 2, indicating the “To”waypoint. Waypoint 7S9 on line 1 is the point of origin.

You can navigate any route you choose, but only one routecan be “started” or active at any time. You can navigate theroute in either direction, depending on your presentposition. For example, if your present position is at the lastwaypoint in the route, you could use this last waypoint asthe point of origin by selecting “REVERSE.” This tutorialuses the forward direction, navigating the route the way itwas created.

With “NORMAL” selected, press the ENT key. The routescreen shows on the display with the message “ROUTE01 IS ON” at the top of the screen. The bearing and rangeto the waypoint are below the waypoint designators.

Navigatinga Route

With the route started, set the ground speed to a realisticrate of travel. Use the instructions presented earlier in thistutorial. Route navigation is underway. During routenavigation, the arrow marker on the route screen alwayspoints to the current “To” waypoint. Scroll through thenavigation screens to check your progress on the route.

As you approach the first destination waypoint, the arrivalalert screen shows on the display to indicate your proximityto the waypoint. When you arrive at the first waypoint, thesimulator changes course automatically to begin thesecond leg of the trip. The arrow marker on the route screenpoints to the new “To” waypoint.

Continue navigating the route.

Route“Direct To”

While navigating a route, you may find it necessary to alteryour trip and proceed “Direct To” a waypoint elsewhere inthe list. You can navigate directly to any waypoint in theroute, either those behind or those ahead of you.

From the route screen choose the active route underway.Select “EDIT” and press the ENT key to assign a “DirectTo” waypoint from the list. Turn the LARGE knob to movethe arrow cursor to the waypoint you want. Press theGOTO and the ENT keys to assign the waypoint as the“Direct To” destination.

6. With the track pointhistory screen itemsproperly set, pressthe ENT key to beginrecording.

Hint

Select the “DISTANCE” storage methodif you prefer to leave track point recording“ON” most of the time. Using this storagemethod, the unit will not record trackpoints unless your position changes by thedistance you specify.

The “TIME” storage method recordstrack points at the selected time interval,regardless of your present position. Atbusy airports, this could result in manytrack points being recorded at the same ornearly the same position as you wait toproceed in ground traffic.

Check the moving map screen as younavigate the route. With track points beingrecorded, small dots appear behind theairplane symbol as you travel. Each dotrepresents a stored track point.
