NAVMAN chartplotter. The TRACKER is part of the NAVMAN family of instruments, which includes instruments for speed, depth, wind and repeaters. These instruments can be connected together to form an integrated data system (see section 14).
Push the attached dust covers over the exposed ends of the plugs to protect them. Store the display unit in a safe place, such as the optional NAVMAN carry bag. TRACKER 5600 Installation and Operation Manual Gold contacts under here Push new card into holder.
2 Basic operation Overview of the keys ESC Go back to an earlier menu or display. Any changes are ignored. DISP Show a menu of the main TRACKER displays. To go to a display, select it from the menu (see section 2-2). Cursor keys, to move the cursor or the selection highlight.
2-2 The main displays After you have turned the TRACKER on, it shows the satellite display until the GPS receiver gets a GPS fix, then displays the Chart. The Chart is the display that you will normally use for navigation.
Simulate mode allows a user to become familiar with the TRACKER off the water. In Simulate mode, the data from the GPS receiver and other sensors is ignored and the TRACKER generates this data internally to simulate the movement of the boat.
2-7 Navigating The TRACKER has two ways of navigating, going straight to a point or following a route. Enter waypoints at points of interest before starting to navigate (see section 9-2-1). Tip: Create a waypoint at the start of the trip to navigate back to.
3 Chart The chart display is the most important of the TRACKER’s displays, showing the chart, the boat’s position and course, and navigation data. 3-1 Chart display A typical chart display shows: Data display. To turn the data off or on or to change what data is displayed, see section 3-1-8.
3-1-2 Latitude and longitude Latitude and longitude can be displayed at the top of the chart. Normally the position is the boat’s position, and the latitude has a boat symbol to show this: ° 29.637 Latitude ° 09.165 Degrees Minutes, to 3 decimal places (about 2 m (6 ft) resolution) If the cursor has been moved in the last ten seconds, then the position is the cursor’s position, and the...
Large : displays same amount of data as medium but with a larger font. To change the data display: Select Data setup . Change a data field: Press the cursor keys to highlight the field. Press ENT to display a menu of the data that can be shown in the field.
3-4 Projected course If Projected course is turned on, then the TRACKER will display the projected position based on the course over ground (COG), speed and a specified time. To turn Projected course on and off and to set the time, see section 13-2. 3-5 Tracks and tracking Tracking records the boat’s position to memory at regular intervals, which can be:...
4 Fuel display To use the fuel display, the optional fuel kit must be installed and the fuel data set up (see section 13-4). To go to the fuel display, press DISP and select Fuel . The fuel display shows: Used: The total fuel used since it was reset to 0 by the Clear Used command (see section 13-4).
Twenty-four satellites orbit the earth and broadcast position and time signals. The positions of these satellites are constantly changing. The GPS receiver analyses the signals from the closest satellites and calculates exactly where it is on earth. This is called the GPS position.
To use differential beacon DGPS, the TRACKER must be installed with an external DGPS antenna, such as the NAVMAN DGPS 1 (see section 15-3). Startup Each time a GPS receiver is turned on, it normally takes about 50 seconds before it outputs the first position.
8 Tides display The tides display shows tide information at a tide station for the selected date. To go to the tides display for the tide station nearest to the boat, press DISP and select Tides . To go to the tides display for any tide station: From the chart display, press MENU and select Find .
9 Waypoints A waypoint is a position of interest that is saved by the TRACKER, for example a fishing spot or a point on a route. The TRACKER can have up to 3000 waypoints. A waypoint can be created, changed or deleted.
Creating and editing a new waypoint from the chart display To create a waypoint at the boat position, press ESC to switch the chart to centre on boat mode (or press , see above). Or, to create a waypoint at a different point, move the cursor to that point on the chart.
10 Routes A route is a list of waypoints that the boat can navigate along. Routes can be created, changed and deleted. The TRACKER can have up to 25 routes. Each route can have up to 50 waypoints. A route can: Start and stop at the same waypoint .
B. Creating a new route from the routes display In the routes display, press MENU and select Create . A new route, with a default name and no waypoints, is displayed. To change the route name: Select the route name at the top of the display and press ENT.
11 User card display A C-MAP™ user card is an optional plug-in card that can store data files (see section 1-2). There are three types of files: waypoints, routes or a track. To go to the user card display, press DISP and select User card .
The number of waypoints, routes and tracks in the TRACKER. Wiring information for the TRACKER connectors. In the unlikely event of having to contact a NAVMAN dealer for service, quote the software version number and date. 13 Setup menu The TRACKER has a number of advanced navigation features which are set up through the setup menu.

13-2 Chart setup Rotation The options for chart rotation are: North up : North is always at the top of the chart display. Track up : The chart is rotated so that the boat direction is to the top of the display. This option is useful for navigating narrow harbours or rivers.
EGNOS will cover most of Western Europe when it becomes operational about the end of 2003. Restart GPS Restarts the internal GPS receiver for servicing or troubleshooting. The GPS receiver takes up to three minutes to restart. The satellite display shows the status of the GPS receiver (see section 7).
Fuel Cal Without calibration the error in fuel measurements can be up to ± 10%. Calibration can reduce the error substantially. For twin engine installations calibration of each transducer is required. Calibrating the fuel transducer requires accurate measurement of the fuel used. This is easiest with a small portable tank.
13-7 Alarms setup For alarm operation, see section 2-5. To turn off an alarm which is sounding, press ESC. Arrival radius alarm When the arrival radius alarm is enabled, an alarm will sound: When the boat is going to a point and the boat comes within the arrival radius of the destination Or when the boat is navigating a route and the...

5 m (16 ft) extension cable for NAVMAN 1300 GPS antenna. Second station kit. Allows a bracket mounted TRACKER to be used at another place in the boat (contains second mounting bracket and cables).
Installation of a DGPS antenna In areas where satellite differential (WAAS/EGNOS) is not available an optional combined GPS/DGPS antenna may be connected for enhanced accuracy when in range of conventional land based differential beacons. Please contact the nearest NAVMAN dealer for further information.
(see section 13). At the satellite display, check that it picks up GPS satellites. Wait for the GPS receiver to start up and the fix type to change from ‘Acquiring’ to ‘GPS fix’. This should take less than two minutes (see section 7).
