The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United States, which is

solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect

the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the GPS II+is a precision electronic

NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

For vehicular applications, it’s the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the GPS II+to secure the

GPS unit so that it will not cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident. Do not mount the

GPS II+over airbag panels or in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to have an impact with it

in an accident or collision. The mounting hardware provided by GARMIN is not warranted against collision

damage or the consequences thereof.

For vehicular operations, it is the sole responsibility of the operator of the vehicle to operate his or her

vehicle in a safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and never become

distracted by the GPS II+to the exclusion of safe operating practices. It is unsafe to operate the GPS II+while

you are driving. Failure by the operator of a vehicle equipped with a GPS II+to pay full attention to operat-

ing the vehicle and road conditions while the vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or collision with

property damage and personal injury.

What is GPS?

GPS is a system of 24 satellites which circle the earth twice a day in a very pre-

cise orbit and transmit information to earth. The GPS II+must continuously “see” at

least three of these satellites to calculate your position and track your movement.

By using an almanac (a timetable of satellite numbers and their orbits) stored in

the receiver’s memory, the GPS II+can determine the distance and position of any

GPS satellite and use this information to compute your position.

Your GPS receiver can only see satellites above the horizon, so it needs to know

what satellites to look for at any given time. To use this almanac data, your GPS

needs to either be told its general location or given the opportunity to find itself, or

“initialize.” Once you initialize the unit to a position, it will usually compute a fix

within a few minutes. We’ll show you how to initialize your new GPS on p. 7.

Initialization is only necessary under the following conditions:

• The first time you use your receiver (from the factory).

•After the receiver has been moved over 500 miles from the last time you

used it (with the power off).

•If the receiver’s memory has been cleared and all stored data has been lost.

Satellite Acquisition

Because the GPS II+relies on satellite signals to provide you with navigation

guidance, the receiver needs to have an unobstructed, clear view of the sky for best

performance. In a nutshell, the GPS receiver’s view of the sky will generally deter-

mine how fast you get a position fix—or if you get a fix at all. GPSsignals are rela-

tively weak and do not travel through rocks, buildings, people, metal, or heavy tree

cover, so remember to keep a clear view of the sky at all times for best performance.

Once the GPS II+has calculated a position fix, you’ll usually have anywhere from

four to twelve satellites in view. The receiver will then continuously select the best

satellites in view to update your position. If some of the satellites in view get blocked

or “shaded,” the receiver can simply use an alternate satellite to maintain the position

fix. Although a GPS receiver needs four satellites to provide a three-dimensional (3D)

fix, it can maintain a two-dimensional (2D) fix with only three satellites. A three-

dimensional fix means the unit knows its latitude, longitude, and altitude, while a

two-dimensional fix means the unit knows only its latitude and longitude.

To prevent accidental battery

power loss, the GPS II+will

automaticallyshutoff10min-

utes after the last keystroke if

the unit is not tracking at least

one satellite and has not

acquired a position fix.

Battery Installation

The GPS II+operates on 4 AA batteries (not included), which are installed at the

base of the unit. These batteries provide up to 24 hours of use.

To install the batteries:

1. Flip up the metal ring at the base of the unit, and turn the ring 90˚ counter clockwise.

2. Install the batteries (Fig. 3), and close the battery compartment door.

3. Lock the door in the closed position by rotating the metal ring 90˚ clockwise.

Battery life varies due to a variety of factors, including temperature and

backlighting. You may find that the battery life varies in different conditions and

that lithium batteries provide longer life in colder conditions.

When replacing the GPS II+’s batteries, observe the polarity markings

engraved in the plastic case. An internal 10-year lithium battery will retain your

data while you’re changing batteries.
