How GPS and Cartography Work

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System also supports GPS and chartplotting, and uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater information. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 10 meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in your area.

GPS uses a constellation of 24 satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. Your present position is determined by receiving signals from up to 16 satellites and measuring the distance from the satellites.

All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded signal once per second at exactly the same time. The GPS receiver on your boat receives signals from satellites that are visible to it. Based on time differences between each received signal, the GPS receiver determines its distance to each satellite. With distances known, the GPS receiver mathematically triangulates its own position. With once per second updates, the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing.

The GPS Receiver included with your 700 Series™ Fishing System, allows you to cosmbine easy-to- use FishingGPS™ chartplotter and navigation capabilities with advanced fishfinding. The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the 700 Series™ Fishing System when it is connected to the included GPS receiver:

•View current position

•View current track (breadcrumb trail)

•View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver

•Save tracks, waypoints and routes

•Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next.

Your 700 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™ and HotMaps™Premium on MMC or SD card media.

NOTE: Your 700 Series™ does not support Navionics® Classic Charts, only Navionics® Gold, otMaps™, and HotMaps™ Premium.

Your unit also comes with a built-in Uni-Map™ with a more detailed map of North America (Domestic models) or a more detailed map of Europe and Southeast Asia, including Australia and New Zealand (International models).

Your 700 Series™ uses the GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat automatically, and uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select the best chart to display. See Viewing Cartography for more information.

Multi-Media Card (MMC)/SD Slot

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System also has a multi-media card (MMC)/SD slot that is used to insert optional- purchase cards containing additional detailed maps. If you insert an MMC/SD that contains a more detailed chart for a particular location, your 700 Series™ Fishing System will retrieve that chart and display it automatically. Use the illustration to locate the position of the MMC/SD slot cover, remove the MMC/SD slot cover, then insert the MMC/SD into the slot. The label on

the MMC/SD should face toward the right side of the unit. Press down on the card until it clicks into place, then replace the slot cover, making certain that the gasket is present and positioned correctly before re-installing the cover, then replace and tighten snugly - do NOT overtighten, as this will not improve water resistance, and may damage the cover.

Software Updates

Use the MMC/SD slot to update the software version of your control head. To update the software in your control head, plug in the appropriate MMC/SD card that contains a software update file; the unit will recognize it, will tell you what software version your control head is currently running, and will ask you if you want to update the software in the unit to match that on the MMC/SD card. You can obtain software updates from the www.humminbird.com website.
