II MORROW V I S I O N A R Y T H I N K I N G T O D A Y Important Notice The Apollo handheld GPS receiver is intended for use as a navigation aid. In aviation applications, the receiver should be used to complement certified navigation instruments already installed in the aircraft. [. . . ] If you choose arrival alert messages, the beeper will sound and a message will show on the display advising you of arrival at a destination waypoint. You can set the radius distance around the destination waypoint at which the receiver alerts you. D 10 Change Settings Airspace Alerts Use this option to control if and when the receiver should alert you when approaching a class B TCA, class C ARSA, or special use airspace. Change Settings If you choose airspace alerts, you can select: n n n n whether or not alert messages are issued the type of message - Class B and C, Special Use (Restricted, Danger), or All the radius distance from the airspace border at which to be alerted the travel time (based upon current track and speed) from the airspace border at which to be alerted D 11 Special Note: The type of message selected here also controls the type of airspaces displayed on the map screens and on the message page. If the receiver is computing a 3D position fix, the GPS altitude will be used to avoid an alert message when above or below the airspace ceiling or floor. To compensate for the inaccuracies of GPS altitude, a buffer of 1, 000 feet is added to the ceiling and subtracted from the floor. For example, if the published ceiling of an airspace you are flying over is 4, 000 feet, an airspace message (if selected) occurs when the GPS altitude is at or below 5, 000 feet. CDI Scale This option controls operation of the course deviation alert and allows you to set the CDI scale units to your preference. D 12 You can select the CDI scale maximum course deviation left or right. The "Alert Message" controls whether or not the receiver will alert you with the beeper and a message on the display indicating a course deviation left or right in excess of the value on the scale. Parallel Track With this option, you can set a parallel track course to a destination. Useful in aviation applications where busy air corridors may dictate a parallel track, this option sets the receiver to navigate a course with a selectable course deviation distance left or right. You can select whether or not the receiver will alert you with the beeper and a message on the display indicating that this option is in use and reminding you of the course deviation. The left or right offset distance you select represents CDI mid-scale when "Parallel Track On" is set to "Yes. " D 13 Magnetic Variation This option allows you to override automatic magnetic variation and manually enter a variation value. This is normally not required for navigation anywhere in the world except near the poles, where magnetic variation is the greatest. D 14 If manual entry of magnetic variation is necessary, obtain the correct value from a reliable chart or other source. Select "Manual" and enter the variation value east or west. Use the ARROW keys to select and change the waypoint identifier and/or position. D 19 Edit the waypoint information as required. Press the ENTER key to save the waypoint information. Select "Del" to delete a waypoint from memory. Use the UP or DOWN ARROW keys to select the waypoint to delete. D 20 Press the ENTER key to delete the waypoint. When you have finished using this option, select "Quit. " Press the ENTER key to return to the main menu. System Information This option shows the current operating software version number and indicates the waypoint database region, date, and version number. No settings can be changed. The Apollo handheld GPS receiver has the Setting Up ability to store up to 20 reversible trip plans or Multiple "routes" in memory. Each route can consist of Leg Trips D 21 up to 30 waypoints, either user created or from the built in database. After routes are created, any route can be called from memory for navigation. While navigating a route, the destination waypoint updates as you arrive at each route waypoint. The Route Screen Select the route screen from any navigation screen using the UP or DOWN ARROW keys. The route screen shows the status and up to the first four waypoints of each route, as well as the desired track and distance between consecutive waypoints. With "NXT RTE" highlighted, use the ENTER key to view each route. Routes not in use are "Off. " Creating a Route Select "Edit" from the route menu to begin creating route 01. [. . . ] LAT (Latitude): Any line circling the earth parallel to the equator, measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds north and south of the equator. G 4 LON (Longitude): Any line from the north to the south pole, measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds of a circle, east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs approximately through Greenwich, England. Magnetic North: The region, some distance from the geographic north pole where the earth's magnetic lines concentrate. A magnetic compass points to the magnetic north. [. . . ]
