- 24 MB built-in memory to download additional, even more detailed maps with roads, crossings and addresses of restaurants, public buildings, points of interest etc. from a PC.
- Electronic compass to check heading while not moving¹ (can be turned off so safe power, accuracy ±5°, resolution ±1°)
- Barometrical altimeter for precise elevation measuring², accuracy ±3 m (10 feet), resolution ±30 cm (1 foot)
- User configurable display (number and contents of data fields)
- Integrated 12 channel receiver with very sensitive built-in antenna
- Connector for external antenna (antenna available as an option)
- Powered by batteries (2x AA, last approx. 16 h) or by an external 12 V power source, e.g. from a car's cigarette lighter (power cord available as an option)
- Short time to first fix (TTFF³: approx. 15 seconds after a warm start, meaning there are valid coordinates of the satellites available, or approx. 45 seconds after a cold start, meaning there are no valid coordinates of the satellites available)
- Supports the following protocols for data exchange with PC: NMEA 0183 with 4800 Baud, GARMIN, GARMIN DGPS, Text, RTCM IN, RTCM/NMEA and RTCM/TEXT
- DGPS (Differential GPS) ready (GARMIN differential receiver available as an option)
- Supports more than 100 different datum (coordinate systems)
- Supports various display formats include the Swiss Grid
- Memory gauge
- Firmware stored in Flash-Memory, can be updated by the user
- Operating temperatures -15 .. 70°C (5° .. 158°F)
- Serial interface RS-232 (connection cable available as an option)
- Dimensions: 157x69x33 mm (1.3x2.7x6.2 inches)
- Weight: 215 g (7.5 ounces, without batteries)
- ¹) In order to check the heading with a GPS, a minimal movement with a speed of at least 5..8 km/h (3..5 mi/h) is required. Where no movement is not possible, a compass is needed.
- ²) Even though a GPS provides accurate elevation information, the value slightly varies continuously. A barometrical altimeter is therefore more accurate, especially when summarizing elevation changes.
- ³) TTFF: Time To First Fix, time until the first information about the local position is acquired.
Information for navigation:
- Information about the position of the GPS satellites and about the quality of the signals
- World map with zoom function in the range of 1200 km to 30 m (800 mi to 120 ft)
- Information on the map displayed in 5 levels of details
- Distance measuring (direct distance)
- Find waypoints, cities and exits
- Extended search function for points of interest, addresses and intersections, if there is a MapSource map available in memory. These maps require an optional memory module, a Windows PC plus a connection cable and are available as options, see MapSource.
- Stores up to 1'000 waypoints with name (up to 10 characters), icon (choice of 75 symbols), coordinates and altitude
- Stores up to 50 routes with up to 50 waypoints per route. Shows the current position in relation to these waypoints (direction and distance)
- Current position (longitude, latitude, altitude)
- Current accuracy of the position information
- Current time and date
- Current bearing
- Current, average and maximum speed
- Trip duration and distance (Odometer)
- Records the travelled path (track), capacity 10'000 track points
- Stores 10 travelled routes (tracks) with up to 750 track points for each track
- Time of sunrise and sunset, moonrise and moonset, current phase of the moon, constellation sun-earth-moon
- Tide information depending on the current location
- Supports metric, nautical and U.S. units
Marine information:
- The anchor drag alarm goes off, if the boat has drifted more than the distance set by the user
- The off course alarm goes off, if the boat is off course more than the distance set by the user
- The shallow water alarm goes off, if the water depth is less than the value set by the user (requires a device that supplies the DPT sentence)
- The deep water alarm goes off, if the water depth is more than the value set by the user (requires a device that supplies the DPT sentence)
