However, if you don’t want to push buttons at this time, that’s fine. The AccuMap 12 will lock onto the satellites and give you a position without any input from you. This is called a “cold-start”. It simply means that the unit is searching without your help for the satellites that are in orbit. -
Page 12: Initialization
Anytime you see flashing numbers, it means the AccuMap 12 does not have a position! Do not rely on any data that is flashing! When the numbers stop flashing, the unit has locked on to the satellites and the position is good. - Page 13 Using the down arrow key, highlight the “Ini- tialize GPS Receiver” menu, then press the right arrow key.

Page 15: Position/Navigation Displays
DO NOT NAVIGATE WITH THIS UNIT UNTIL THE DATA STOPS FLASHING! POSITION/NAVIGATION DISPLAYS The AccuMap 12 has navigation, mapping, and windows group modes.

Page 16: Navigation Screens
Navigation Screens There are two navigation screens. Nav screen number one shows a graphi- cal view of your trip, the other screen shows all navigation details in large digital numbers. Nav Screen #1 This screen is dominated by a compass rose. Your track (direction of travel) is indicated by an arrow pointing down toward the compass rose at the top center of the screen. -

Page 20: Autozoom
AUTOZOOM Generally, when you travel using a mapping receiver like the AccuMap 12, you spend some amount of time zooming in and out, looking at detail or the whole route between the start and destination. The AccuMap 12 has an autozoom feature that eliminates much of the button pushing that competitive units force you to make. -

Page 39: Waypoint Options
You can connect several user waypoints together to form a route. When you recall the route, the AccuMap 12 will show you navigation information to the first waypoint in the route, then when you reach that waypoint, it switches to the next way- point, and so on until you reach the last waypoint in the route. -

Page 41: Select Waypoints - From Map
Continue selecting waypoints until the route is com- plete. As you add waypoints to the list, the bearing and distance from each waypoint to the one previ- ous is shown to the right of the waypoint’s name. In this example, the second waypoint in the list is 104 degrees and 30.75 miles from the first way- point in the list. -
Page 42: Following A Route
As you travel to the first waypoint, the unit shows navigation data to that waypoint. When you enter the radius around the waypoint set by the ar- rival alarm, the AccuMap 12 automatically switches to the next waypoint on the list, showing navigation data to that waypoint, and so on until the last waypoint on the route list has been reached. -
Page 43: Delete A Route
NAVIGATION Navigate To a Waypoint The AccuMap 12 makes it easy to navigate to any waypoint in two simple steps. First, select the des- tination from the database, then press the key next to the “NAV GO TO ...” label. The unit immediately shows navigation information to the selected loca- tion. -
Page 44: Navigate To Cursor Position
Navigating to a cursor location The AccuMap 12 lets you navigation to a location without storing it in the waypoint database by using the map and cursor. To do this, first switch to any map screen. Map number 1 shown at the top of the next page is used in this example. -
Page 45: Cancel Navigation
TRACK HOLDING Your AccuMap 12 has a special feature called "Track Holding" that pre- vents the unit from showing random numbers on the navigation screens when you're travelling less than 3 miles per hour. These random numbers are mostly caused by S/A (Selective Availability). -
Page 46: Gps Corrections
All datums are named. The GPS system is based on the WGS-84 datum, which covers the entire world. Other datums may also cover the entire world, or just a small portion. By default, the AccuMap 12 shows your position on the map using the WGS-84 datum. -
