2 INTRODUCTION
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING THE NX2 GPS NAVIGATOR.
The GPS system is operated by the DOD (Department Of Defence) USA and the
Systems accuracy and maintenance is totally within their responsibility.
Remember that a GPS navigator is a '1tool" or a navaid to common navigation
methods, and should therefore be used as a complement to maps and compass, and
not as a replacement.
Please read about the GPS system in the NX2 GPS Antenna manual.
The NX2 GPS navigator system.
The NEXUS GPS NAVIGATOR offers TRUE multiple nav-station operation. When
operating, ONLY ONE WP database is in use for the whole NEXUS system. Therefore,
you may store or delete waypoints, create or call up a route on any NEXUS GPS or
Multi Center instruments.
By adding this GPS navigator into the NEXUS series of instruments, you will benefit
from the high integration level that makes navigation simple, precise and reliable.

GPS NAVIGATOR
2.1 Basic Features
2.1.1 Position (POS)
Position is given in latitude and longitude to 3 decimal places with selectable set-up for
minutes and seconds or minutes and 1 000ths of minute. Altitude in METRES or FEET
can also be displayed.
2.1.2 Navigation (NAV)
Course and Speed Over Ground (COG/SOG) in knots, km/h or miles/h.
Select either magnetic or true, for both course over ground and bearing to waypoints.
This will be clearly "flagged" with the reversed text MAGNETIC on the LCD to prevent
confusion and uncertainty. Distance to WP is selectable in nautical miles, kilometres or
miles. Actual X-track error is displayed to 3 decimal places which is perfect for high
precision Differential GPS navigation.
2.1.3 Waypoint (WP)
Store up to maximum 399 WP in lat/long each with a 7 character name. You may Copy,
Move or Delete a single WP or in a block.
2.1.4 Route (ROUTE)
Up to 25 "named" routes can be stored with 24 WP in each route.
They can also be called and used "reversed" (e.g. return to harbour).
2.1.5 MAN OVER BOARD
For your safety, the M.O.B. (Man over board) function can be activated very easily.
Please see chapter 5.8.
2.1.6 TIME
Month, day and time is displayed (local time can be set). When navigating towards a
waypoint, both ETA (estimated time of arrival) and TTG (estimated time in hours and
minutes to go) is displayed.

2.2 EXTRA NEXUS FEATURES
•For sailracing (with a complete NEXUS System), the built in race timer
clock become extra valuable. The exact GPS time is used to "trigger" the NEXUS
instruments start timer up to 1 8h and down to the last second (hh:mm:ss) before the
actual start.
•With the PC-interface and software, you may transmit receive
waypoints; log selected data to a file; monitor NEXUS information in real time, using a
PC.
GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY SAILING!
