1 Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you flying, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of GPS! We know you're anxious to take off and begin navigating, but we have a favor to ask.
2 Whether your AirMap 1000 is the only GPS in the cockpit or backing up an in-panel display, you're using the most versatile and most affordable large-screen hand-held GPS receiver in the aviation market today. Our goal for this book is to get you in the air (or out on the road) fast, with a minimum of fuss.
3 to try out some of AirMap's many advanced features. That brings us to Section Four, Land Mode Operation . After we introduce the Land Mode menus and submenus, the rest of the section contains AirMap's more advanced command functions .
4 Recording: ...................... Removable MMC or SD memory cards for recording GPS trip details, displaying cus- tom maps, upgrading operating system soft- ware and transferring trip data to personal computer without a slow serial connection. USB card reader included with unit.
5 Man Overboard: ............. MOB feature precisely marks man overboard location with special icon, then automatically displays navigation data to that position. (Land Mode only.) Com Port: ........................ One serial communications port, NMEA 0183 version 2.
6 what's in the map, see the preceding segment on specifications.) We lock it in here at the factory — you can't change or erase this map. The background map, along with the Jeppesen and Lowrance aeronautical databases, are all you need for aerial navigation.
7 You make your own Custom Map Files with our MapCreate software, but you don't have to. We also sell ready-to-use FreedomMaps . These custom maps are pre-loaded on MMCs. (No computer work required!). Introduction to GPS and WAAS Well, now you know the basics of how AirMap does its work.
8 A minimum of three satellites are required to determine a 2D fix. The system requires signal reception from three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevation (your height above sea level — also called altitude).
9 WAAS signals make your GPS navigation even more accurate. Your AirMap automatically receives both GPS and WAAS signals. However, WAAS has some limits you should know about. First, the U.S. government has not completed construction of the WAAS system, so it is not yet fully operational.
10 Keyboard The other keys perform a variety of functions. When the text refers to a key to press, the key is shown in bold, sans serif type. For example, the "Enter/Save" key is shown as ENT and the "Menu" key is shown as MENU .
11 Section 2: Installation & Accessories Power The AirMap operates from AA batteries or on 6 volts DC using an op- tional external power cable with a cigarette lighter adapter. If the power cable is used, the AirMap automatically switches to it if the ex- ternal power is greater than the battery voltage.
12 grips on the outside edge of the battery compartment cover. Press in on the grips and lift the cover away from the unit case. The battery cover will pull free. Loosen thumbscrew and remove AirMap battery cover. Install the batteries according to the decal in the battery compartment, which shows the correct polarity.
13 Attach external power cable to AirMap. MMC or SD Memory Card Installation Your AirMap uses a MultiMedia Card to store information, such as cus- tom maps, waypoints and other GPS data. The unit can also use Secure Digital Cards (SD cards) to store information.
14 2. Hold unit facedown in left hand. With your right hand, press a finger against the label of the MMC and drag it from the slot. To add an MMC or SD Card 1. Remove battery compartment cover. 2. Hold the unit in one hand. Grasp the bottom edge of the MMC with your other hand.
15 Since the "view" is restricted to what can be seen through the window, this operating mode will reduce position accuracy and will increase the chance of losing satellite lock. Inside a plane, the unit operates best with an external antenna mounted on the windshield or dash.
16 of the yoke. When you are satisfied with the bracket position, tighten the base knob to keep the bracket from shifting. First, attach the R-A-M mounting bracket to the yoke (shown left). Then, attach the ball mount plate to the back of the AirMap case (shown right).
17 A protective cloth bag is included with your unit. Tip: The bag will guard against scratches on the display, but in a crowded flight bag, the Power key could be bumped and cause a battery drain. To avoid this, just pull out a battery and reinsert it upside down.
18 Notes.
19 Section 3: Aviation Operation This section addresses AirMap's main aviation GPS functions. The principles are the same in both operating modes, so this discussion also serves as a good introduction to Land Mode work.
20 6. EXIT – The Exit key lets you return to the previous screen, clear data or erase (clear) a menu. 7. FIND (Direct To) – The Find key launches the AirMap search menus. It also allows you to go Direct To items shown in search lists. 8. ZOUT – (Zoom Out) – This key lets you zoom the screen out to see a larger geographic area on the map.
