CAUTION!

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.

WARNING

For vehicular applications, it is 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.

WARNING

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 operating the vehicle and road conditions while the

vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or collision with property damage and personal injury.

CAUTION!

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.

Initialization is only necessary under the following conditions:

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

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

used it (with the power off).

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

Satellite Signals

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

ance, the receiver needs to have an unobstructed, clear view of the sky for best per-

formance. In a nutshell, the GPS receiver’s view of the sky will generally determine

how fast you get a position fix— or if you get a fix at all. GPS signals are relatively

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 eight satellites in view. The GPS II will then continuously select the best satel-

lites 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, the GPS II 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

automatically shut off 10 min-

utes after the last keystroke if

the unit is not tracking at least

one satellite and has never

acquired a position fix.
