## Navigation 1

- GPS for ICS - 2003

**Notes:**
Navigation 1

Input several waypoints into Garmin III Plus receiver using latitude and longitude coordinate system. Navigate to those coordinates using the receiver and map, with a compass as a practice backup.

## Navigation 1

**Objectives:**
- Set up a Garmin GPS III Plus for inputting coordinates.
- Manually enter three sets of coordinates into a Garmin GPS III Plus.
- Complete the navigate exercise.

**Notes:**
Navigation 1

Objectives:
Set up a Garmin GPS III Plus for inputting coordinates. Coordinates will be provided on paper to each student at time of lesson, not before.
Manually enter three sets of coordinates into a Garmin GPS III Plus.
Complete the navigation exercise.

## Turn on the GPS III Plus Receiver

- Press and hold the Power/Light button for a second a two to turn the receiver on.

- The initial receiver status screen appears. This is a good time to check power level before proceeding.

**MENU**

- Push Menu button twice to access main menu.

**Notes:**
Turn on the GPS III Plus Receiver

Remind students to have enough battery power to complete the mission. Always check power levels upon every startup.

## Access Waypoints Page

- Waypoints selection is highlighted. If not, scroll to it using rocker key.

**ENTER**
**MARK**

- Press Enter button once.

**Notes:**
Access Waypoints Page

Access Waypoints page through main menu. Scroll to access Waypoints page.

## Waypoints Page

**Waypoints Page**

**ENTER**
**MARK**

- Press Enter button once to access waypoint setup page.

**Notes:**
Waypoints Page

The Garmin III Plus can store up to 500 waypoints.

## Create a New Waypoint

**Create a New Waypoint**

- Use the rocker key to move around the New Waypoint page. Use Enter key to access and edit any highlighted field on the page.

**ENTER**
**MARK**

**Notes:**
Create a New Waypoint

Use the rocker key to move around the New Waypoint page. Garmin will always give a default number (selected in sequence starting with the next unused number in the list). When a data field is highlighted, it can be edited by pressing the Enter button.

## Create a New Waypoint (cont.)

- Reference allows a new waypoint to be created by using bearing and distance from another saved waypoint.

**Create a New Waypoint (cont.)**

- Waypoint symbol.

- Comment field can store a short message.

- Position field contains the coordinates of the new waypoint.

- To save new waypoint, highlight Done and press Enter key.

**Notes:**
Create a New Waypoint (cont.)

Highlight and press Enter to edit name of new waypoint.
Reference allows a new waypoint to be created by referencing another waypoint saved in memory using bearing and distance from that reference waypoint. This feature will not be used for any navigation exercises or lessons.
Comment field can store a short message about the waypoint. By default it includes date and time the waypoint was created.
Waypoint symbol can be changed by highlighting and pressing Enter button. Many symbols are available, such as boat ramp, radio tower, building, campground, etc. These symbols can appear on the map page, if desired. By default, Garmin uses a square dot for a symbol.
To save a new waypoint, use rocker key to highlight the Done button, and press Enter key. You will have to re-enter the New Waypoint page again to enter a new waypoint after selecting Done.
Stress the importance of checking the accuracy of new waypoint coordinates BEFORE selecting Done. It’s easy to transpose or miss-key coordinate numbers. It’s also a good idea to view each waypoint’s data after it has been saved.

**QUIT**

- Press and hold the Power/Light button for a second a two to turn the receiver on.

**Notes:**

When finished inputting new waypoints into the receiver, press Quit button twice to return to a main page.
To turn off the receiver, press and hold the Power/Light button.

## Navigating to Waypoint

**Navigating to Waypoint**

**ENTER**
**MARK**

- Option 2: From any page, press GOTO button once to access Waypoints page directly.

**GOTO**

- Either option: After highlighting the desired waypoint, press Enter button to begin navigation on Map page.

**ENTER**
**MARK**

**Notes:**
Navigating to Waypoint

Two different ways to access the waypoints page. Select the desired GOTO waypoint from the list of saved waypoints, highlight it, and press Enter button.
The Map Page should come up automatically with the GOTO waypoint shown on the map along with pertinent navigation information (distance, speed, bearing, etc., depending on how the student has their receiver set up).

**Notes:**
Navigating to Waypoint (cont.)

The Map Page gives the navigator useful navigation information, such as distance, speed, bearing, etc. (depending on how the navigator has their receiver set up). Data fields at the right of the map can be turned on or off as desired. Data fields can also be changed to provide other information to the user.
When the navigator reaches the waypoint, he or she needs to locate the next waypoint in the route by using the steps outlined in this lesson.
