1 GETTING ST ARTED Unit Features Antenna (detachable) Function Keys LCD Display Battery Door Rocker Keypad Power/Backlight Key (red) T o change the screen orientation, press and hold the P AGE key .
2 GETTING ST ARTED Keypad Usage/Display (POWER) — Red key turns the unit on and off, and controls three levels of scr een backlighting intensity . (P AGE) — Scrolls main pages in sequence and returns display from a menu/options page to a main page.
GETTING ST ARTED Batter y Installation 3 The GPS III Pilot operates on 4 AA batteries, which are installed at the base of the unit. These batteries provide up to 24 hours of continuous use.
What is GPS? GETTING ST ARTED The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of 24 satellites which circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit information to earth. The GPS III Pilot must continuously “see” at least three of these satellites to calculate your position and track your movement.
Once the GPS III Pilot has calculated a position fix, you’ll usually have anywhere from five to twelve satellites in view . The receiver will then continuously select the best satellites in view to update your position.
This usually provides a position fix in one minute. Y ou’ll know you have a fix when the unit automatically transitions from the Satellite Page to the Map Page (shown bottom left). Y our receiver is now ready to use! T o turn the unit off: 1. Press and hold the red power key for one second.
T o turn the GPS III Pilot back on, press and hold the red power key . The GPS III Pilot features six main pages which are linked together in a chain. Y ou can quickly scroll thr ough the pages in either direction using the P AGE or QUIT keys.
Let’ s start with the Satellite Status Page, which is the page you’ll view while your unit is getting a position fix. If you’re not already on this page, pr ess P AGE or QUIT until it appears.
The Position Page shows you where you are, what dir ection you’re heading, and how fast you’re going—and it’ s a page you may want to use when you don’t have a destination selected.
The Map Page shows your movement using a real-time track log (an electr onic breadcrumb trail that appears directly on the map as you’r e traveling), and your present position as an airplane icon in the center of the map. The Map Page also shows any nearby airspace boundaries, lakes, rivers, highways and towns.
The GPS III Pilot features two differ ent navigation pages: HSI (horizontal situation indicator) and Highway . The HSI Page is first. The HSI Page provides graphic steering guidance to a destination waypoint and will likely become your primary navigation screen.
The GPS III Pilot’ s Highway Page also provides graphic steering guidance to a destination waypoint. As you head toward your destination, the middle of the scr een provides visual guidance to your waypoint on a moving graphic “highway .” Y our pre- sent position is at the bottom center of the highway display .
The GPS III Pilot’ s Main Menu pr ovides access to an additional set of pages that are used to create or edit waypoints, cr eate r outes, review track log or trip information, configure the vertical navigation features, perform E6B calculations or make changes to system settings.
One of the most important features of the GPS III Pilot is the built-in Jeppesen database, which includes information on airports, runways, communication frequen- cies, VORs, NDBs, intersections and airspace boundaries. This information is readily available directly fr om the map, or from the ‘W aypoints’ option on the Main Menu.
The GPS III Pilot’ s GOTO feature allows you to quickly and easily navigate to any airport, navaid or user -entered waypoint stored in memory . A GOTO is really nothing more than a straight-line course from your pr esent position to the destination you’ve selected.
T o cancel the current GOTO destination, simply select another destination. If no destination is currently desired, or you want to resume a pr eviously selected route, the GOTO operation may be cancelled from the GOTO Options Page. T o cancel the current GOTO destination: 1.
The GPS III Pilot is a powerful navigation system providing detailed mapping information in a convenient, compact package. This simulator tour is designed to show you the basic features of your new GPS III Pilot during a simulated trip.
T o select the simulator mode: 1. Press MENU to list the options for the Satellite Status Page. 2. Highlight ‘Start Simulator’ with the rocker keypad, and press ENTER. 3. Press ENTER to acknowledge the warning message. Let’ s look at the sequence of pages again.
The GPS III Pilot’ s Map Page combines digital charts and Jeppesen data with a number of user -selectable features. Before we select our destination and begin navi- gating toward it, let’ s take a look at some of those features. The map display shows your present position using an airplane icon in the center of the screen.
W orking from the Map Page is a simple pr ocess that centers around the use of the cursor . Controlled by the r ocker keypad, the cursor is an important tool allow- ing you to pan to other areas on the map display , view waypoint information, create waypoints, specify a GOTO target and cr eate routes.
Now that we’ve seen how to find waypoints on the map and view information about them, let’ s see how the GPS III Pilot is used to navigate to the waypoint we just selected.
The other primary navigation screens are the HSI and Highway pages, with the HSI Page appearing first in the sequence of main pages. T o view the HSI Page, press P AGE.
The GPS III Pilot’ s Highway Page provides a graphic highway display that shows your movement relative to the desired course. The line down the middle of the high- way represents your desir ed course. As you navigate toward your destination, the high- way will actually move, indicating the direction you’re of f course.
Imagine you’ve just departed. Y our home airport is thirty minutes behind you. Y ou fly over a nice fishing lake or golf course you’ve never noticed before and decide you would like to return to this place in your car .
Suppose another thirty minutes into your flight you experience an emergency and need to find a place to land. Or , you just want to stop for a break at a nearby airport or top off the tanks.
As you continue along your route, you may pass in close pr oximity to, or enter , an airspace. Whenever you are within 2 nm, pr ojected to enter , or inside an airspace, the GPS III Pilot will notify you with a message and supply detailed information about each airspace you are being alerted to.
The GPS III Pilot’ s Satellite Status Page provides a visual reference of various receiver functions, including current satellite coverage, receiver status, battery level and position accuracy .
Y ou can use the sky view to help determine if any satellites are being blocked, and whether you have a current position fix (indicated by ‘2D Navigation’ or ‘3D Navigation’ in the status field). Y ou can also set the sky view to a ‘T rack Up’ config- uration, causing the top of the sky view to align along your current track heading.
Poor GPS Coverage — the receiver isn’ t tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fix due to bad satellite geometry . Not Usable — the receiver is unusable, possibly due to incorrect initialization or abnormal satellite conditions. T urn the unit off and back on to reset, and reinitial- ize the receiver if necessary .
EPE and DOP The Satellite Status Page also indicates the accuracy of the position fix, using Estimated Position Error (EPE) and Dilution of Precision (DOP) figur es. DOP mea- sures satellite geometry quality (i.e., number of satellites received and where they ar e relative to each other) on a scale from one to ten.
The following Satellite Status Page options are available: Star t Simulator — allows you to activate the GPS III Pilot’ s built-in simulator mode. If ‘Start Simulator’ is selected, ‘Stop Simulator’ will appear as an option instead. T o activate (deactivate) simulator mode: 1.
The Position Page shows you wher e you are, what dir ection you’r e heading and how fast you’r e going. With 2D coverage, you will need to enter your approxi- mate altitude. Without an appr oximate altitude, your position err or can be substan- tial.
Many features of the GPS III Pilot are menu driven. Each of the main pages has an options menu, allowing you to custom tailor the corresponding page to your prefer- ences and/or select special features which specifically relate to that page. T o display the Position Page Options, press MENU (with the Position Page displayed).
Change fields — allows you to choose the data displayed on the six user -selectable data fields. A vailable data types are: Altitude, A verage (A vg) Speed, Battery (Bat) T imer , Max Speed, Odometer , Speed, Sunrise (at present position), Sunset (at pre sent position), T rack, T rip Odometer , T rip T imer , User T imer and V oltage.
The GPS III Pilot features a powerful real-time moving map that can do much mor e than just plot your course and route. The Map Page also displays a digital chart, includ- ing airspace boundaries, airports, navaids, lakes, rivers, coastlines and highways.
Another function on the Map Page is the pan function, which allows you to move the map with the keypad in order to view ar eas beyond the current map. T o activate the pan function: 1. Use the rocker keypad to move the map in any direction, including diagonally .

The W aypoint Edit Page features additional options, besides the ‘Show Map’ option described in the previous steps. W aypoint Edit Options allow you to delete user way- points, define how a user waypoint will appear on the map display or average the way- point position to improve accuracy .
The GPS III Pilot can navigate to a destination using any of three dif ferent methods: GOTO — lets you select a waypoint as your destination and quickly plot a direct course from pr esent position to that waypoint. T racBack — allows you to retrace your path using the track log automatically stored in the receiver’ s memory .
T o designate a GOTO waypoint from a list of waypoints: 1. Highlight the desired waypoint on the list and press GOTO/NRST . A confirmation page shows the selected destination waypoint. 2. Press ENTER to confirm the selected waypoint and begin navigating.
GOTO Options are also pr ovided to initiate a T racBack route or to cancel the current GOTO destination. T o display the GOTO Options, press MENU (immediately after pressing GOTO/NRST). The following options are available: T racBack — allows you to retrace your path using the track log automatically stored in the receiver’ s memory .
The T racBack navigation feature allows you to retrace your path using the track log automatically stored in the receiver’ s memory . This eliminates the need to manual- ly store waypoints along the way . A track log is an electronic breadcrumb trail show- ing the path you have travelled.
Once a T racBack has been activated, the GPS III Pilot will take the track log cur- rently stored in memory and divide it into r oute segments, called ‘legs’.
Route navigation allows you to manually create a sequence of intermediate way- points which lead you to your final destination. The GPS III Pilot will store up to 20 reversible r outes, with up to 30 waypoints in each route. Routes can be created and modified by text entry—using the rocker keypad to enter waypoint names.
