CAUTION

Introduction

Cautions

The GPS system 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 45XL is a precision electronic NAVigation

AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and therefore,

become unsafe.

Use the GPS 45XL at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe opera-

tion, carefully review and understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual and

thoroughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior to actual use.

When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPS 45XL to all

available navigation sources including the information from other NAVAIDs,

visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before

continuing navigation.

ence limits for Class B digital devices for home or office use. It has been test-

ed for compliance with all necessary FCC standards. This equipment gener-

ates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and

used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to

radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will

not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to other equipment, which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interfer-

ence by relocating the equipment or connecting the equipment to a different

circuit than the affected equipment. Consult an authorized dealer or other

qualified service technician for additional help if these remedies do not cor-

rect the problem. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This

Introduction

GPS

Definitions

The GPS 45XL is a powerful navigation tool that can guide you anywhere

in the world. To better understand its operation and capabilities, it may be

helpful to review the basic terms and concepts briefly explained below.

Other navigation and GPS definitions used in the manual are defined in the

appropriate reference sections of the manual.

Almanac Data

Satellite constellation information (including location and health of satel-

lites) that is transmitted to your receiver from every GPS satellite. Almanac data

must be acquired before GPS navigation can begin.

Bearing

The compass direction from your position to a destination.

Course Made Good (CMG)

The bearing from the ‘active from’ position (your starting point) to your pre-

sent position.

Crosstrack Error (XTE)

The distance you are off a desired course in either direction.

Desired Track (DTK)

The compass course between the ‘from’ and ‘to’ waypoints.

Differential GPS (DGPS)

An extension of the GPS system that uses land-based radio beacons to trans-

mit position corrections to GPS receivers.

Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)

The time of day of your arrival at a destination.

Estimated Time Enroute (ETE)

The time left to your destination at your present speed.

Introduction

GPS

Definitions

Grid

Coordinate system that projects the earth on a flat surface, using square

zones for position measurements. UTM/UPS and Maidenhead formats are

grid systems.

Ground Speed

The velocity you are traveling relative to a ground position.

Latitude

The north/south measurement of position perpendicular to the earth’s

polar axis.

Longitude

An east/west measurement of position in relation to the Prime Meridian,

an imaginary circle that passes through the north and south poles.

Navigation

The process of travelling from one place to another and knowing where

you are in relation to your desired course.

Position

An exact, unique location based on a geographic coordinate system.

Track (TRK)

The direction of movement relative to a ground position.

Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)

A grid coordinate system that projects global sections onto a flat surface to

measure position in specific zones.

Velocity Made Good (VMG)

The speed you are traveling in the direction of the destination.

Waypoint

A specific location saved in the receiver’s memory.

Getting Started

Navigation

Basics

The GPS 45XL provides steering guidance and naviga-

tion information using degrees, a measurement measured in a

clockwise direction from a north reference. North is

described as 000º, east as 090º, south as 180º, and west as

270º. The diagram and compass rose below provide a graphic

illustration of the navigation terms used by the GPS 45XL.

More information on basic navigation and GPS are available

at your local library or bookstore.

Getting Started with your GPS

Welcome to the exciting world of GARMINGPS! The

GPS 45XL represents GARMIN’s continuing commitment to

provide marine users with quality navigation information in

a versatile, user-friendly design they will enjoy for years to

come. To get the most out of your GPS receiver, be sure to

read through the initialization and Getting-Started sections

of this manual, and refer to the reference section for com-

plete details on the GPS 45XL’s advanced features.

Initializing Your GPS for First-Time Use

The GPS 45XL calculates your position and movement

by tracking signals sent from GPS satellites. Each of the 24

GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise

orbit, and transmit information back to earth. In order to

determine a position fix, your GPS 45XL needs to continu-

ously “see” at least three satellites.

Because a GPS receiver can only see satellites above the

horizon, it needs to know what satellites to look for at any

given time. By using an almanac (a timetable of satellite

numbers and their orbits) stored in the receiver’s memory,

the GPS 45XL can determine the distance and position of

any GPS satellite.

To use this almanac data, your GPS receiver needs to

know where you are, or be given the opportunity to “find

itself”. Once you initialize the unit to this position, the GPS

45XL will usually compute a fix within a few minutes.

Remember, this process is only necessary under the

following conditions:

• First time use from the factory.

•The receiver has been moved over 500 miles from

the last calculated position with power off.

• The receiver’s memory has been cleared and all

stored data has been lost.

Getting Started

Initialization

Lanyard

Attachment

Next, take the solid end

of the lanyard , insert it

through the slot at the

other end, and tighten.

Lanyard Attachment

To attach the GPS 45XL’s

lanyard, thread the strap

through the D-ring on

the battery compartment

cover.

GPS 45XL Manual C 8/4/98 3:05 PM Page 5

Acquiring Satellite Signals

Because the GPS 45XL relies on satellite signals to pro-

vide you with navigation guidance, the receiver needs to

have an unobstructed, clear view of the sky for best perfor-

mance. What exactly does this mean? 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, build-

ings, people, metal, and materials such as thick canvas, so

you need to make sure that you’re not near any of these

structures or materials when acquiring satellites.

Once the GPS 45XL has calculated a position fix, you’ll

usually have anywhere from four to eight satellites in view.

The GPS 45XL will now continuously select the best satel-

lites in view to update your position. If some of the satel-

lites in view get blocked or “shaded” the receiver can sim-

ply use an alternate satellite to maintain the position fix.

Although a GPS receiver needs four satellites to provide a

3D fix, the GPS 45XL can maintain a 2D fix with only three

satellites.

Before You Initialize

Take the GPS 45XL outside and find a large, open area

(try a nearby park) that has a clear view of the sky from

horizon to horizon. Hold the receiver at a comfortable

height, at arm’s length from your body, with the external

antenna turned perpendicular to the ground.

GPS signals are blocked from reaching the receiver

by buildings, rocks, metal structures, or materials such

as heavy canvas. Do your best to stay away from

these structures and materials.

To turn the GPS 45XL on:

1. Hold the unit so it is parallel to the ground and turn the

external antenna perpendicular to the unit.

2. Press and hold

until the receiver turns on.

The welcome page will be displayed while the unit con-

ducts a self test.
