CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCING THE GARMIN GPS 100

1.1 GPS 100 CAPABILITIES

The GPS 100 provides a host of powerful capabilities which were previously

unavailable or found only in much larger and more expensive systems:

· Performance: State-of-the-art MultiTrac

receiver tracks up to

eight satellites while providing high receiver sensitivity, fast first fix,

and continuous navigation updates.

· Portability: Goes where you go - on land, sea, or in the air. The built-

in simulator allows you to plan your next trip or hone your navigation

skills at home or in your office.

· Navigation: Illuminated keypad and display provide the navigation

information you need at a glance. Store up to 250 alphanumeric

waypoints and 10 reversible routes. The GOTO function sets an

instantaneous course to the waypoint of your choice. The AutoStore

function helps you build routes as you go. A flashing Message

Annunciator and an audible message tone keeps you fully informed

of your navigation status.

· Personalized: Configure your unit the way you like by selecting

nautical units, Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) sensitivity, keypad

and display features, map datums, and interface options.

· Low Power Consumption: Battery Saver operation, which draws

less than 250 milliamps of current, provides 14 hours of continuous

operation with six AA size alkaline batteries. The QuickFix

mode

provides on demand position fixes in as little as 15 seconds and over

100 hours of battery life at four fixes per hour.

· Trip Planning: Analyze distance, time, and fuel requirements for

your trip. Compute the time of sunrise and sunset at your destination.

Calculate density altitude before you take off, and true airspeed as you

fly. Vertical navigation guides you to your cruise altitude and puts you

in the traffic pattern before landing.
