    The Government’s accuracy specification is 100 meters horizontally and 150 meters vertically 95% of the time. In other words, the position shown on your GlobalNav 310 could be up to 100 meters in any direction from your actual position, and the altitude could be plus or minus 150 meters from what’s shown on the screen, 95% of...

    INSTALLATION INSTALLATION - Bracket You can install the GlobalNav 310 on the top of a dash or from an overhead with the supplied bracket. It can also be installed in the dash with an optional IDA-3 mounting kit. A swivel bracket is included that converts the GlobaNav 310's gimbal bracket to a swivel mount.

  • Page 8: Power Cable

    POWER The GlobalNav 310 will operate from a 12-volt DC system. (9 to 15 volts DC.) You can connect the power cable to an accessory buss under the dash, however, to keep electrical noise interference to a minimum, we recommend you wire the power cable directly to the battery through the supplied 2-amp fuse.

  • Page 12: Operation

    Finding Your Position Cold Start When the GlobalNav 310 is turned on for the very first time, it doesn’t know where it is, nor what the local time or date is. If you tell it your position, time, and date, the unit will take much less time to lock-on to the satellites and give you a fix or position.

  • Page 13: Initialization

    The next time you use the unit, it should take much less time to lock on. To use your GlobalNav 310, first make certain you have a clear view of the sky, free from any obstructions such as trees, carport, or a covered boat dock.
  • Page 14 This is the GPS initialization screen. The position, altitude, time, and date the GlobalNav 310 is currently using to find the satellites is shown at the bottom of this screen. Changing these values to your local position and time will speed the position lock.

  • Page 15: Position/Navigation Displays

    Once the GlobalNav 310 finds and locks on to three satellites, it stops flashing the numbers on the display. (Note: Altitude will still flash until the unit locks on to the fourth satellite.
