GPScape System (TRX680FGA only) This section explains the GPScape navigation system. Instructions for the topics listed on this page are included. Introduction ................... Important Safety Information ............... System Limitations ................System Start-up ..................Position Fix ..................System Failure to Display a Position Fix ..........
Page 54: Introduction
Introduction Any location on Earth may be described by two positioning coordinates. These two coordinates, measured by degrees, minutes, and seconds, are: latitude longitude Latitudes are horizontal circles drawn around the Earth. The zero degree latitude (the equator) divides the globe into the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
Page 55 Introduction Longitudes, also called meridians, are vertical circles extended from the North Pole to the South Pole. The zero degree longitude, which passes through Greenwich, England, divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western hemispheres. The 180 degree longitude, half way around the planet, is the international date line.
Page 56 Introduction Your ATV GPScape System receives signals from the Global Positioning System (GPS), a U.S. government network that orbits the Earth, then uses those signals to calculate your current position as well as the distance and direction to other locations (destinations). In addition to latitude and longitude, GPScape also calculates altitude (above sea level).
Page 57: Important Safety Information
Important Safety Information The GPScape System is designed to provide information to help you reach selected destinations. While this system provides the direction and distance to a destination, it does not provide an actual path. You must use your own observation of the terrain and good judgment in choosing a safe path to reach the destination.
Page 58: System Limitations
System Limitations Your GPScape System uses signals from the Global Positioning System operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. For security reasons, certain inaccuracies are built into GPS for which your navigation system must constantly compensate. This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to several hundred feet.
Page 59: System Start-Up
System Start-up Position Fix The GPScape System uses satellite information to compute your present position (called a position fix). Depending on the elapsed time since the ignition was last switched OFF ), there are three approximate response times for the system to acquire your position fix.
Page 60: System Failure To Display A Position Fix
System Start-up System Failure to Display a Position Fix If the receiver does not get a position fix within about 8 minutes (flashing antenna mark ( ) as shown in the illustration), make sure there are no overhead obstructions (building, trees, canopy, etc.) and then perform the following: (1) antenna mark Turn the ignition switch OFF ( ).
Page 61 System Start-up − Reconnect the negative ( ) terminal lead and install in the reverse order of removal. If you can not obtain a position fix after performing this procedure, see your Honda dealer. GPScape System...
Page 62: Satellite Status
Satellite Status The satellite status indicates the amount of information received from GPS satellites in one of three possible categories: Display Status Not Usable The system is signaling (flashing antenna mark) that your position fix is not available. 2D Navigation The system has determined latitude and longitude, but is unable to determine altitude.

Page 64: Gps Mode
GPS Mode A waypoint is a geographical position (location) on the surface of the Earth. GPScape allows you to log up to 100 positions as navigational waypoints. You may then use GPScape to show you the direction of any selected waypoint, and how far you are from that waypoint via straight- line travel.
Page 65 GPS Mode The GPS mode ( ) shows the shortest distance to your selected waypoint. And, when your ATV is moving (one mph or faster), the GPS mode also displays an electronic arrow to indicate the direction to the selected waypoint. Push the GPS/WP button ( ) to switch between the GPS mode and the other two modes: odometer and tripmeter.

Riding in Reverse If you need to ride in reverse, make sure the area behind you is clear and only operate the ATV at low speed. Improperly operating in reverse could cause you to hit an obstacle or person behind you, resulting in serious injury.
Page 117 Riding in Reverse To stop, close the throttle and gradually apply both the front and rear brakes. Do not abruptly apply the rear brake by itself. To shift out of reverse and into neutral, shift the shift lever into ‘‘N’’ (neutral) gear.
Page 118: Braking
Braking Your ATV is equipped with disc brakes on both front wheels which are hydraulically activated by operating the right brake lever. A single disc brake of the rear drive train is hydraulically activated by depressing the brake pedal and mechanically activated by operating the left brake lever. Although the front and rear brakes have separate controls, all four wheels are interconnected when your ATV is in the 4WD mode.
Page 119 Braking Your ability to brake in a turn and to brake hard in an emergency situation are important riding skills. When descending a long, steep grade, use engine compression braking by downshifting (in the ESP mode), with intermittent use of both brakes. Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes and reduce their effectiveness.
Page 120: Riding Your Atv
Riding Your ATV Making Turns Learn how to turn your ATV properly. Practice the techniques outlined in this section on level ground and at low speeds until you are confident in making turns. Turning improperly can make the ATV go out of control, causing a collision or overturn.
Page 121 Riding Your ATV Lean your body to the inside of a turn and forward. To make a turn on level ground: Steer the handlebar and lean your body toward the inside of the turn. Leaning helps balance the vehicle, and it feels more comfortable.
Page 122: Skidding Or Sliding
Riding Your ATV Skidding or Sliding The terrain surface can be a major factor affecting turns. Skidding during a turn is more likely to occur on slippery surfaces, such as snow, ice, mud and loose gravel. If you skid on ice, you may lose all directional control.
Page 123: Riding Up Hills
Riding Your ATV Riding Up Hills The ATV’s ability to safely climb hills largely depends on the rider’s skill and judgment. Begin by practicing on smooth, gentle slopes. As you gain experience, you’ll learn the hazards and your own limitations. You may then proceed to ride on more difficult terrain.
Page 124 Riding Your ATV Shift weight forward when climbing hills. Always check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. To climb a hill, take a running start in an appropriate gear and speed for the conditions.
Page 125 Riding Your ATV Stalling the ATV and/or Rolling Backwards: If you incorrectly estimate climbing capability or terrain conditions, the ATV may not have enough power or traction to continue uphill. If this happen, the ATV can stall and/or roll backwards. Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climbing a hill could result in the ATV overturning.
Page 126 Riding Your ATV What to do after the ATV has stalled or rolled backwards: If the hill is too steep or too slippery, or if you have any doubt whether you can safely walk the ATV back down the hill, leave the vehicle where it is and get help.
Page 127: Riding Down Hills
Riding Your ATV Riding Down Hills It’s usually advisable to descend hills with the ATV pointed straight downhill. Avoid angles that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Going down a hill improperly could cause loss of control or cause the ATV to overturn. Always follow proper procedures for going down hills as described in this owner’s manual.
Page 128: Crossing Or Turning On Hills Or Slopes
Riding Your ATV When you’ve selected a safe downhill path, shift into a lower gear (in the ESP mode), shift your weight back with your arms extended and braced against the handlebar, then go down slowly with the throttle closed. Use mainly the rear brake to control speed.
Page 129 Riding Your ATV Crossing Hills or Slopes To maintain balance and stability when riding across a slope, you need to shift weight toward the uphill side of the vehicle. To do this, move your body off the center of the seat and lean toward the uphill side.
Page 130: Riding Over Obstacles
Riding Your ATV Riding Over Obstacles Before operating in a new area, check for obstacles. Watch out for bumps, rain ruts, potholes and other obstacles in the terrain. When you approach any obstacle, reduce your speed and be prepared to stop. Never try to ride over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen logs.
Page 131: Riding Through Water
Riding Your ATV Riding Through Water Your ATV is designed to travel through water up to approximately 10 inches (254 mm) deep. Before crossing a stream, make sure the water is not too deep or flowing too fast. The ATV tires have some ability to float. Operating this ATV through deep or fast-flowing water may cause a loss of traction and loss of control, which could lead to an accident.
Page 132: Parking
Parking Look for level parking area. Make sure the ground surface is firm. After bringing your ATV to a stop, hold the brakes while you shift into neutral. Set the parking brake. Turn the ignition switch OFF ( If it is necessary to start the engine when your ATV in gear and is stopped on a grade, rock the vehicle back and forth to allow shifting the transmission into neutral.

Tips Here’s helpful advice on how to prepare for an off-road adventure, how to transport and store your Honda, and how to be an environmentally responsible ATV owner. Preparing for a Ride ................What to Take to the Riding Area ..........
Page 210: Preparing For A Ride
Preparing for a Ride A safe and enjoyable ride begins with good planning and preparation. Always ride with at least one other person in case you have trouble, and let someone know where you’re going and when you expect to return. Before riding in an unfamiliar area, find out in advance if you need special permits, get maps so you can study the terrain, and talk to other riders who know the area.
Page 211: What To Take On The Trail
Preparing for a Ride What to Take on the Trail What you take with you during a ride depends on the kind of terrain, how long you expect to ride, how far you might go from your base camp or help, and how experienced you or your companions are in making repairs.
Page 212: Transporting Your Honda
Transporting Your Honda Do not tow your ATV behind a car or other vehicle. When you transport your ATV, we recommend that you carry the vehicle in its normal operating position (on all four wheels). Do not incline the vehicle upright on its rear end. This can damage the vehicle, and leaking gasoline could be a hazard.
Page 213 Transporting Your Honda Secure the vehicle with tie-down straps in the areas shown. Suitable tie-down straps are available from your Honda dealer. Ordinary rope is not recommended because it can stretch under load. Using tie-down straps in any other areas can damage your ATV.
Page 214: Storing Your Honda
For more information about storage, refer to the Honda Motorcycle Winter Storage Guide, available from your Honda dealer (USA only). We suggest you perform the following procedures to keep your ATV in top condition. These storage procedures will reduce the deterioration that can occur during storage.
Page 215 Storing Your Honda Preparation for Storage Refer to Saf ety Precautions on page This procedure requires a means for draining and disposing of drained fuel (page Change the engine oil and filter (page Make sure the cooling system is filled with a 50/50% antifreeze solution (page Fill the fuel tank.
Page 216 Storing Your Honda Remove the battery and charge it fully. Store it in an area protected from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight. Slow charge the battery (page ) once a month. The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
Page 217 (page If your ATV has been stored for more than two months − ask your Honda dealer to drain and replace the fuel. Charge the battery (page ) as required. Install the battery. Perform a pre-ride inspection (page ), then test-ride your ATV at low speeds.
