Track Log Setup - Garmin GPS 95 STD Personal Navigator Owner's Manual

Below the operating mode field is a reference waypoint field to define an initial
position. In simulator mode you may designate a starting point from which
the simulation will begin. In normal and battery saver modes, the initial
position may be defined to reduce satellite acquisition time.
To define an initial position...
· Select the desired operating mode by placing the cursor on the
operating mode field and pressing CLR.
· Press ENT to select the desired mode.
· Enter the identifier of the desired reference waypoint and press ENT.
· Enter the bearing from the reference waypoint to the desired location
and press ENT. The bearing will be true or magnetic depending on the
unit setups. (See Section 8.7.)
· Enter the distance from the reference waypoint to the desired location
and press ENT. The distance will be in nautical miles, statute miles or
kilometers depending on unit setups. (See Section 8.7.) (Hint: If a
distance of zero is entered, the initial position will be at the selected
reference waypoint.)
The Operating Mode/Filters Page also allows you to set position and velocity
filters. Changing the filter settings will alter the GPS 95's response time to
changes in track or ground speed. To change the filter settings, highlight the
appropriate field and cycle through the filter settings (automatic, fast,
medium or slow) with CLR. The "fast" setting will provide instantaneous
response (three seconds maximum response time) to changing conditions.
The "medium" (approximately 20 seconds) or "slow" (approximately 120
seconds) settings may be more desirable for slow speed operation where
frequent ground track changes will occur (e.g., sailing or hiking). It is highly
recommended that you select the "Automatic" setting for most applications.

8.6 TRACK LOG SETUP

The Track Log Setup Page is used to
configure the track log function. A
track log is a record of your flight path
showing where you have been up to
your present position. The cyclic fields
on line one allow you to turn the track
storage on or off, and determine how
the track log will be stored in memory.
