Addendum to NAVMAN’s Tracker 500/500i Owner’s Manual

New feature – Centre on boat /

follow boat.

Once the -ctr- key combination (simultaneous press

of zoom-in and zoom-out) is pressed the track plot

screen will follow the boat until the mode is

“unlocked”. Unlocking is by panning the track plot

screen (when the cursor gets to the edge of the

screen), or zooming in until the boat moves outside

the central area of the screen. Activation of the

centre on boat mode feature is indicated by a small

hollow boat diamond between the speed and

heading on the bottom line of the track area.

Note: This feature will be activated by default on

power up and may be activated from anywhere,

not only the track screen, compared with the earlier

centre feature noted on P9 of the manual. The unit

will switch to the track plot screen whenever the -

ctr- key combination is pressed.

New feature – 3 Configurable alarms

The highway width is no longer changed in the setup

menu as indicated on P33 of the manual. This

setting has been replaced with an “ALARM” menu

with settings for 3 alarms.

1) Highway XTE alarm.

When the setting “HIGHWAY” is turned on, the XTE

(Cross track error) is continually monitored while

navigating to a waypoint. If the boat moves outside

the selected highway screen road width, an alarm

prompt will be shown, and the buzzer will sound.

Notes: 1) The alarm will reactivate every time the

boat moves inside the highway screen road width,

then strays outside it again. 2) The highway screen

does not have to be showing for the alarm to

activate.

2) 1 MINUTE alarm

When the setting “1 MINUTE” is turned on, the TTG

(Time to go) is continually monitored while

navigating to a waypoint (during navigation of a

route, the setting is active for each waypoint in the

route). The first time that the TTG drops below 1

minute, an alarm prompt will be shown, and the

buzzer will sound.

Note: The alarm will not reactivate if the TTG raises

above 1 minute, then drops below 1 minute again.

3) Anchor drag alarm.

When the setting “ANCHOR” is turned on, the

change in position is continually monitored. If the

boat moves a distance greater than that set by

“ANCHOR 0.xx” from the boat’s position when

“ANCHOR SET >” was activated, an alarm prompt

will be shown, and the buzzer will sound.

Notes: 1) The alarm will reactivate every time the

boat moves inside the anchor circle, then strays

outside it again. 2) Without DGPS (Differential

GPS), selective availability may cause the reported

position to deviate by up to 900 feet. This will trip

the anchor alarm, the distance of “ANCHOR 0.xx”

may need to be increased.

New feature - Distance log.

The position screen as pictured on P15 of the

manual now also displays distance travelled since

last cleared. This works by measuring a succession

of straight lines (similar to the track drawing). This

means that it will not be highly accurate if you drive

around in small circles (e.g. 600ft) all day. However,

if you forget to turn it on at the start of the journey,

you will still get a good approximation of the distance

from the position where the unit last had a fix. The

distance units setting as indicated on P34 of the

manual has been replaced by a distance menu,

which allows clearing of the distance log and setting

of the distance units.

New feature – User configurable

waypoint display.

New options have been added to enhance the

display of waypoints on the track screen.

On the waypoint edit screen (see P25 of the

manual), two extra settings have been added.

“NAME | ON/OFF”, “SYMBOL | ON/OFF”. By

default, when a new waypoint is created, only the

symbol will be shown on the track screen. Turning

the name display on will cause the waypoint’s name

to be displayed to the right of the waypoint on the

track screen. Turning the symbol display off will

prevent the waypoint from being shown on the track

screen.

Notes: 1) Turning the symbol off does not delete

the waypoint. The waypoint can simply be selected

from the waypoint list and the symbol turned back

on again. 2) You cannot have the waypoint name

turned on, and the waypoint symbol turned off.

On the main waypoint menu (see P22 of the

manual), two extra settings have been added.

“NAMES | ALL/NONE/SEL.”, “SYMBOLS | ALL/

NONE/SEL.” When SEL. (short for SELECTED) is

chosen the name/symbol will be displayed

according to each individual waypoint setting. When

ALL is chosen, the name/symbol will be displayed

regardless of each waypoint setting. When NONE

is chosen, the name/symbol will not be displayed

regardless of each waypoint setting.

Note: You cannot have the waypoint names turned

on, and the waypoint symbols turned off.

New feature – Goto key.

Holding the zoom-in key, while any screen is

showing, will take you immediately to the GO, TO

WAYPOINT, TO MARK, ALONG ROUTE screen

as shown on P21 of the manual.

Note: If you are already navigating to a waypoint,

an option will first be presented asking whether you

want to cancel that navigation first.
