[. . . ] Salem, OR 97302 U. S. A. 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. This device is not intended for use as a primary or sole source of navigation information in aviation applications. For maximum safety and to minimize distraction in the cockpit, place the receiver in an easily visible location, within convenient view of other avionics. [. . . ] Select "forever" to continuously store points, starting over when memory becomes full, or select "Until Full" and stop storing points when memory becomes full. Saving points by "distance" allows you to select a distance interval at which each track point is stored. Similarly, saving points by "time" allows you to select a time interval for storage of each track point. D 9 The screen shows you how much memory space is used for track point storage. If you wish to empty the memory of track points, select "clear?" and choose "yes. " Arrival Alerts This option controls whether or not and when the receiver should alert you of arrival at a destination waypoint. 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. 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. Begin with the waypoint of origin and work toward the destination waypoint. Repeat this process to add more waypoints to the route. As you add waypoints, the route screen shows the bearing to each waypoint and the distance between them. When you finish inserting waypoints into the route, select "Done" and press the ENTER key to save the route in memory. When the marker arrow points to the desired waypoint, select "CHG" to change it. [. . . ] In aviation, the relation between ground speed and air G 3 speed is affected by the prevailing winds. The icon may be an airplane, boat, land vehicle, a human stick figure, or an "X" depending on the selected operation mode. The identifier may consist of numbers and alpha characters, up to six in length. For example, the airport identifier for Los Angeles International Airport is LAX. [. . . ]
