  • Page 11: How Atlas Works

    First, think of your Atlas as a small but powerful computer. (But don't worry — we made Atlas so easy to use, you don't need to be a computer expert to find your way!) The unit includes a keypad and a screen with menus so you can tell Atlas what to do.

  • Page 12: Introduction To Gps And Waas

    Please contact your local dealer for information/purchase. Introduction to GPS and WAAS Well, now you know the basics of how Atlas does its work. You might be ready to jump ahead to Section 2, Installation & Accessories, so you can install the batteries.
  • Page 13 These signals can be easily blocked by trees, buildings, an automobile roof, and even your body. Like most GPS receivers, Atlas doesn’t have a magnetic compass or any other navigation aid built inside. It relies solely on the signals from the satellites to calculate a position.
  • Page 14 Non-aviators can use WAAS signals to make their GPS navigation even more accurate. Your Atlas receives both GPS and WAAS signals. However, WAAS has some limits you should know about. First, the U.S. government has not completed construction of the WAAS system, so it is not yet fully operational.

    Instructions = Menu Sequences Most functions you perform with Atlas are described as a sequence of keystrokes and selecting menu commands. We've written them in a condensed manner for quick and easy reading.

  • Page 16: Section 2: Installation & Accessories

    Section 2: Installation & Accessories Power The Atlas operates from AA batteries or on 3 volts DC using an optional external power cable with a cigarette lighter adapter. If the power cable is used, the Atlas automatically switches to it if the external power is greater than the battery voltage.

    External Antenna (Optional accessory art.no. 22607) A GPS antenna requires a clear view of the sky for optimum reception. Inside a vehicle, your Atlas can sometimes maintain “satellite lock” while sitting on the seat beside you, but we don't recommend this for optimum performance.
