NAVMAN
1 Introduction
Congratulations on choosing the NAVMAN
TRACKER950 chartplotter. For maximum benefit,
please read this manual carefully before installing
and using the unit. Special terms are explained in
Appendix C.
The TRACKER950
The TRACKER950 chartplotter is a compact,
ruggedly built, highly integrated navigation
instrument. It has been designed to be easy to
use. Complex navigation functions can be
performed with a few key presses, taking the hard
work out of navigation. It has an easy to read,
colour display.
The TRACKER950 has a built-in chart of the world,
suitable for route planning and general interest.
You can see extra details by plugging in a C-MAP™
electronic chart cartridge for the region where you
are navigating.
The TRACKER950 receives information from the
GPS system and displays the boat’s position and
speed.
To navigate with the TRACKER950, you can go
directly to any point on the chart or you can create
routes for the boat to follow. When the boat is
navigating to one of these points, the unit displays
course information for the helmsman to follow.
The TRACKER950 can send data to an autopilot
or radar and can repeat depth information from a
depth sounder. With an optional fuel kit, the
TRACKER950 becomes a sophisticated yet easy
to use fuel computer. An optional PC interface kit
allows you to download waypoints and routes from
a Windows based PC.
Chart accuracy
C-MAP™ electronic charts are derived from
geographical data (including official government
charts) which are not verified or approved by
Hydrographic Authorities. C-MAP™ electronic
charts are designed only to simplify navigation
calculations. They must be used with official charts
and prudent navigation habits, rather than as a
primary source of navigation information.
There is no direct relationship between the colour
of water areas and their depth. The navigator shall
always check depth and use official paper charts.
The GPS system
The US government is solely responsible for the
operation, accuracy and maintenance of the GPS
satellites. They are subject to changes that will
affect the performance and accuracy of all GPS
receivers.
The civilian GPS signals may very occasionally
be turned off. This unit will not work if its power
fails. You must guard against these events by
always having another way of navigating.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the TRACKER950 case with a damp cloth
or mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners and
petrol or other solvents.
Keep the protective cover over the slot for the
C-MAP™ cartridge at all times. If the slot gets
dirty, clean it by blowing the dirt out. If it gets wet,
clean it with clean fresh water and dry it with warm,
dry air.
Clip the dust cover over the display when you are
not using the unit or if you remove the unit from
the boat.
1-1 Care
C-MAP™ cartridges
Handle the cartridges carefully. Keep them in their
protective cases when not plugged into the
TRACKER950. If they get dirty or wet, clean them
with a damp cloth or mild detergent.
7TRACKER950 CHARTPLOTTER Installation and Operation Manual
NAVMAN
1-2 C-MAP™ chart cartridges
A C-MAP™ electronic chart cartridge has chart
details required for navigating in a particular region.
When you plug the cartridge in, the extra details
are automatically superimposed on the
TRACKER950’s built-in chart of the world. The
cartridge plugs into a slot in the upper, left side of
the display unit.
When you insert or remove a cartridge it does not
matter if the TRACKER950 is turned on or off.
To insert a cartridge
1 Remove the protective cover from the C-MAP™
slot.
2 Take the C-MAP
™
cartridge out of its case.
Keep the case.
3 Hold the cartridge up to the slot with the
label facing you and the edge with the gold
contacts (on the back of the cartridge) facing
the slot.
4 Carefully push the cartridge fully into the slot.
It is shaped to prevent you from putting the
cartridge in the wrong way.
5 Replace the protective cover over the
cartridge.
To remove a cartridge
1 Remove the protective cover from the C-MAP™
slot.
2 Pull the cartridge out and put it back in its
case.
3 Replace the protective cover over the slot.
1-3 Removing and replacing the unit
You can easily remove and replace the display
unit for security or protection.
To remove the display unit
1 Clip the dust cover over the display unit.
Loosen the knobs at each end of the unit.
2 The unit has some cables plugged into the
back. Unplug each by turning the end of the
plug a quarter of a turn anticlockwise and
pulling the plug out.
3 Lift the unit off its cradle and store it in a safe
place.
4 Tie a waterproof cover, such as a plastic
bag, over the plugs on the cables. It is
important to keep the plugs dry.
To replace the display unit
1 Sit the unit in its cradle with the rubber
washers between the bracket and the
display unit case.
2 Plug the cables into their sockets on the
back of the unit:
match the colour on the end of the plug
to the colour of the nut on the socket
hold the plug against the socket and
rotate the plug until it slides easily into
the socket
lock the plug in place by pushing the end
of the plug towards the socket and
turning it a quarter turn clockwise
If you plug a cable into the wrong
TRACKER950 socket by mistake, nothing will
be damaged.
3 Adjust the angle of the display to be easily
seen and tighten the knobs on each end of
the unit. Unclip the dust cover.

The function of a cursor key depends on what is
being displayed at the time.
Softkeys
The five keys in a row under the display are called
softkeys. The name of a softkey depends on the
information currently being displayed on the
screen. The name is displayed in a small box
directly above the key; if the name is grey or the
box is empty then the key is inactive.
Beeper
The TRACKER950 has an internal beeper. It
beeps:
once when you press a key
three times when you press an inactive key
continually when there is an alarm (see
section 2-3)
External beepers can be connected to sound
alarms in the boat (see section 10).

currently visible chart area. For example if the scale
is 8 nm then a portion of chart eight nautical miles
high is currently displayed.
The cursor
The cursor is used to select points on the chart.
To move the cursor across the chart, press one of
the cursor keys:
Press the cursor key which points in the
direction that you want the cursor to move,
for example press CursorUp to move the
cursor up.
If you hold a cursor key down, the cursor
moves across the screen.
Boat position
The cursor
If you press the cursor key midway between
two of the marked keys, the cursor moves
diagonally.
When you move the cursor to the edge of the
screen the chart will scroll. For example, if you
move the cursor to the top of the screen then the
chart will scroll down and you will see a part of the
chart that was above the rest.
Chart symbols
The chart will show symbols, such as waypoints
and C-MAP™ symbols, as shown below. To select
a waypoint, move the cursor to the symbol. A white
circle appears around it to show that it is selected
and a window appears with information about the
symbol.
In the Underway screen, you can move the cursor
to C-MAP™ chart symbols to see a window with
information about the symbol.
Latitude and Longitude
Latitude and longitude are displayed on navigation
screens. Normally it displays the position of the
boat and a boat symbol appears in front of the

screen backlight may be set too low. Press
the BackLt key (the softkey furthermost to
the right) to turn the backlight on full (see
section 9-1).
If the display is in the wrong language, select
the right language (see section 9-1).
Read the warning and press the Confirm
key.
3 It displays the Satellite Status screen. Wait
for the GPS or DGPS receiver to start up,
which should take less than three minutes.
4 It is then ready to use. It displays the
Underway screen, the first of the main
screens (see section 2-6).
To turn the unit off manually
Hold down the Esc key. The unit beeps and
displays a countdown window. Continue to hold
down the Esc key until the unit turns off.
2-3 Alarms
When the TRACKER950 detects a condition
outside the alarm parameters, it gives an alarm. It
beeps continually and displays a warning message
in a window.
To clear the alarm, press the Esc key.
The MOB feature saves the boat’s position and
then navigates back to this point. To do this:
1 Either:
hold down the two softkeys labelled MOB
at the same time for about a second
or press an external MOB button for
about a second (if one is installed)
It beeps 4 times and boat’s position is stored
as the waypoint ‘MOB’.
2 The display changes to the Underway
screen, with a scale of 0.1 miles, with the
MOB waypoint situated in the centre of the
screen. It goes to plotter mode, with a white
screen with crosshatching, rather than
displaying a chart (see section 9-4).

2-7 Navigating
The TRACKER950 has two ways of navigating,
going straight to a point or following a route.
Waypoints
Before you start navigating, you can enter
waypoints at points of interest (see section 6-1).
Tip: create a waypoint at your marina so that you
can navigate back easily.
Going straight to a point
The TRACKER950 can go straight to a waypoint
or to any arbitrary point. This is called GoTo:
To start the GoTo, go to the GoTo screen
(see section 4-1).
The Underway and Highway screens will
show navigation data. If the TRACKER950 is
connected to an autopilot, it will start
steering. The destination is displayed on the
Underway and Highway screens.
If you enable the XTE alarm, it will give an
alarm if the boat deviates too much from its
intended course.
When the boat comes within the arrival
radius of the destination, it can give an
Arrival Radius alarm to show that you have
reached the destination. It will then end the
GoTo automatically. To set the arrival radius
and enable this alarm, see section 9-3.
To manually stop the GoTo, go to the
Underway screen, press the GoTo key and
press the Cancel key.
Following a route
A route is a list of waypoints.
You can create waypoints before you create
the route by using the Waypoints screen
(see section 6-1).
To create a route, go to the Routes screen
(see section 6-2). You can create waypoints
as you create the route.
To start the route, see section 6-2-7.
The Underway and Highway screens will
show navigation data. If the TRACKER950 is
connected to an autopilot, it will start
steering. The waypoint which is the current
destination is displayed in the Underway and
Highway screens.
If you enable the XTE alarm, it will give an
alarm if the boat deviates too much from its
intended course.
The boat stops going to the current waypoint
in the route and starts going to the next
waypoint:
a when the boat comes within the arrival
radius of the current waypoint
b or when the boat passes the waypoint
In these two cases, the TRACKER950
can give an Arrival Radius alarm to show
that you have reached the waypoint. To
set the arrival radius and enable this
alarm, see section 9-3.
c Or if you press the Skip key in the
Underway screen.
To manually stop the boat following the
route, go to the Routes screen and press the
RteOff key.
2-8 Simulation mode
When the TRACKER950 is in simulation mode it
simulates boat movement and satellite data. The
real boat does not move. We recommend that you
use the TRACKER950 in Simulation mode to
familiarise yourself with the TRACKER950 before
using it on the water.
To see if the TRACKER950 is in Simulation mode,
go to the Satellite Status screen (see section 3-2).
2-9 PC interface
The TRACKER950 can be connected to a
Windows based PC to simplify using waypoints
and routes. These can be created and changed
on the PC, then downloaded to the TRACKER950
(see the PC interface kit’s documentation).
If it is in Simulation mode, then it displays Simulate.
To start and stop Simulation mode, see section 9-
7.
Warning: Never turn on Simulation mode when
you want to use the TRACKER950 to navigate
on the water.
14 TRACKER950 CHARTPLOTTER Installation and Operation Manual
NAVMAN
GPS and DGPS
The US Government operates the GPS system.
There are twenty-four satellites orbiting the earth
that broadcast position and time signals. The
positions of these satellites are constantly
changing. Your GPS receiver analyses the signals
from the closest satellites and calculates exactly
where it is on earth. This is called the GPS position.
All GPS positions have some errors, caused by
small variations in the positions of the satellites
and by atmospheric effects. The accuracy of the
GPS position is typically better than 10 m (33 feet)
for 95% of the time.
To make GPS positions more accurate, a system
of land-based transmitters has been developed,
called differential beacons. These transmit
correction signals that a receiver can use to correct
for most of the errors in the GPS position. Such a
receiver is called a differential receiver and the
corrected position is called the DGPS position. The
accuracy of the DGPS position is typically 2 to 5 m
(6 to 15 feet), depending on the distance to the
nearest beacon.
Coverage
A GPS antenna can receive signals from the GPS
satellites when it is almost anywhere on earth.
However, differential beacons are usually only
installed near ports or important waterways and
each beacon only has a limited range, typically
less than 400 km (220 nm).
3 Satellite Status screen
GPS and DGPS antennas
The NAVMAN GPS antenna gives a GPS position.
The unit has a high-gain antenna and a sensitive 12-
channel receiver. It tracks signals from all satellites
visible above the horizon and uses measurements
from all satellites more than 5° above the horizon to
calculate the position.
The NAVMAN differential receiver has a unique
‘H-Field’ toroidal antenna for high sensitivity and
excellent immunity from electrical noise and
which requires no grounding. The receiver has
two channels and automatically selects the
strongest differential beacon signal to use.
The NAVMAN DGPS antenna has both a GPS
receiver and a differential receiver and
automatically applies the differential corrections to
the GPS position and gives a DGPS position.
Startup
Each time a NAVMAN GPS antenna is turned on,
it normally takes about 50 seconds before it outputs
the first position. If it has not been turned on for
several months or if it has been moved more than
1000 km (550 nm) since it was last turned off then
it will take two minutes or longer.
TRACKER950 antennas
The TRACKER950 must be connected to:
a GPS antenna
or a DGPS antenna, which is a combined
GPS and differential receiver
or a GPS antenna and a separate differential
receiver
3-1 GPS and DGPS worldwide navigation
The satellite status screen displays the signal strengths of the visible GPS satellites, their current positions
and information about the accuracy of the calculated position.
15TRACKER950 CHARTPLOTTER Installation and Operation Manual
NAVMAN
When you turn the TRACKER950 on, the Satellite
Status screen is automatically displayed while the
GPS receiver starts up.
To display this screen at any other time:
press the Sat key in the Position or Fuel
screen
or choose it from the Menu screen
The satellite status screen displays information
about the GPS satellites:
The current type of GPS fix, for example
Acquiring, GPS fix, DGPS fix, No GPS. If the
unit is in Simulation mode it displays
Simulate (see section 2-8).
The date and time, from the GPS satellites.
The time is UTC (GMT) plus the Local Time
Offset (see section 9-1). You can set this
offset to display local time anywhere in the
world.
The signal strengths of up to twelve visible
GPS satellites are displayed as bargraphs.
The higher the bar the stronger the signal;
the strongest satellite is on the left.
The current positions of the visible GPS
satellites are displayed within two circles.
The outer circle indicates the horizon and the
inner circle 45° elevation. The centre of the
circles is directly above. North is at the top of
the screen.
If the boat is moving the current COG is
displayed as a line from the centre of the
circles.
The value of HDOP indicates the error in the
GPS position caused by poor satellite
positions. A low value indicates a more
precise fix, a higher value a less accurate fix.
Esc key
Return to the previous screen.
Mapshft key
Go to the Mapshift screen to apply a
correction to make the displayed position
match the chart position (see section 3-3).
3-2 The Satellite Status screen
16 TRACKER950 CHARTPLOTTER Installation and Operation Manual
NAVMAN
3-3 Mapshift screen and datums
Satellite derived positions are based on a
worldwide reference (datum) known as WGS84.
Some paper charts are based on datums other
than WGS84. This results in an offset between a
latitude and longitude plotted on the paper chart
and the same latitude and longitude plotted on the
TRACKER950. To match the TRACKER950 with
your local charts you must enter the datum for your
local area (see Appendix A for a list of available
datums). Once your local datum has been entered
all latitudes and longitudes, including waypoints,
will match the paper charts (see section 9-2).
If you prefer to retain the WGS84 datum (no local
datum) but find that the boat position is offset you
can correct this offset with the mapshift function.
Warning: Mapshift is for eliminating minor
offsets. It must not be used to correct positions
to match local charts.
To set mapshift
1 Move your boat to a known point on the
chart, for example a marina berth.
2 Press the Esc key until it displays the Fuel or
Position screen. Press the Sat key to display
the Satellite Status screen.
3 Press the Mapshft key to display the
Mapshift screen.
4 The GPS position is shown as a cross in a
circle. Press the cursor keys to move the
cursor to the position on the chart where the
boat actually is.
5 Press the Set key to set the new mapshift.
The boat will now be displayed at its actual
location.
6 The Mapshift offset is displayed in the
navigation data window. Check the setting by
performing the same procedure at other
known locations.
To clear mapshift
1 Press the Esc key until it displays the Fuel or
Position screen. Press the Sat key to display
the Satellite Status screen.
2 Press the Mapshft key to display the
Mapshift screen.
3 Press the Clear key.

The Highway screen displays a chart with your
current position and heading when you are
navigating to a destination:
The destination is automatically positioned
directly ahead, at the top centre of the chart.
The boat position is automatically maintained
in the centre of the chart.
You can see on the chart where you are, where
you are heading, and if you are approaching land
or any dangerous water.
It displays two vertical parallel lines, called
the CDI (Course Deviation Indicator).
The straight line joining the start to the
destination is the ideal course for the boat.
The CDI lines are on either side of the ideal
course. The distance from a CDI line to the
ideal course is called the CDI Scale; set this
to the maximum distance that you would like
the boat to deviate from the ideal course
(see section 9-3).
The CDI lines are like a highway over the
water that you would like the boat to move
along. As the boat moves away from the
ideal course it will appear to move towards
one of the CDI lines.
It displays four user-definable data fields
(see section 9-2). Two fields have large
digits so they can be read from a distance.

6-2-1 Introduction to routes
A route is a list of waypoints that the boat can
navigate along. Routes can be created, changed
and deleted.
A route can have between two and fifty waypoints.
A route can start and stop at the same waypoint;
in this case there must be three or more waypoints
in the route.
The boat can start at any waypoint in the route
and can travel along a route in either direction.
Waypoints on the route can be skipped.
Routes are a particularly powerful feature when
the TRACKER950 is connected to an autopilot,

use with the Tank Full option. Enter the
manufacturer’s specified capacity.
Set Remaining
Enter the amount of fuel now in the tank after it
has been partly filled or fuel removed.
Clear Used
Select Clear Used to set Used (the amount of fuel
used) to zero. Do this to restart measuring the
amount of fuel used.
Units
Options are L (Litres), USGAL (US Gallons) or
IMPGAL (Imperial Gallons)
9-6 Fuel Setup
Num Engines
Set the number of engines to 1, 2 or 0. If 0 is
selected the fuel features are turned off and the
Fuel screen no longer appears.
Fuel Cal
Calibrating the fuel usage can increase the
accuracy of fuel measurements from +/- 10% to
better than +/- 2%. For twin engine installations
calibration of each transducer is required.
Calibrating the fuel transducer requires accurate
measurement of the fuel used. This is easiest with
a small portable tank. It should be noted that due
to air pockets, it is very difficult to fill underfloor
tanks to the same level twice. At least 15 litres
should be used to ensure an accurate calibration.
(The more fuel used, the more accurate the
calibration will be.) Each transducer in a twin
engine installation must be calibrated separately.
This may be done at the same time with two
portable tanks, or at different times using one tank
at a time.
The procedure is as follows:
1 Select Clear Used to set the set Fuel Used
to zero.
2 Connect the measurement tank(s) to the
engine(s) via the fuel transducer(s).
3 Run the engine(s) at normal cruising speed
until at least 15 litres is indicated (30 for twin
engines).
4 Check the actual amount of fuel used per
engine. The easiest way to do this is to refill
the tank(s) to the original level(s) and record
the value(s) shown on the fuel dispenser.
5 Select Fuel Cal on the fuel menu. The
amount of fuel that the TRACKER950 has
recorded will be displayed. Use the
CursorLeft or CursorRight key to change this
to the actual fuel amount used, then press
the Menu key. (Repeat for the other engine
in a twin engine installation).

Flow Filter
Sets the period over which the fuel flow is
averaged. Averaging can be set from 1 to 180
seconds.
Normally engines do not draw fuel from the tank
at a steady rate. They draw fuel at a high rate for a
few seconds until the carburettor bowl or fuel
injection reservoir is full, then draw no fuel for a
few seconds. If the true flow rate were displayed,
it would be too erratic to read.
Usually a value of 10-15 seconds will give a

section 6-3).
9-7 Simulation Mode
Starting waypoint: The start waypoint
for the simulation.
Destination waypoint: The end
waypoint for the simulation.
As the boat moves, you can vary Heading to
simulate the boat moving off course.
Demo mode
Simulates the boat moving along a route at a
given speed. When it reaches one end it
retraces the route in the other direction.
Before setting this mode you must enter a
route (see section 6-2). The other option is:
Route: The route to follow.

10 Installation
10-1 What comes with the TRACKER950
Standard configuration
TRACKER950 display unit, with protective
cover for the C-MAP™ slot.
Mounting Bracket, 2 mounting knobs and 2
rubber washers.
Dust cover for display unit.
Correct installation is critical to the performance
of the unit. There are two components to install,
the TRACKER950 and a GPS or DGPS antenna.
In addition, you can install an optional fuel kit in
order to use the unit as a fuel computer.
The TRACKER950 can:
drive external beepers to repeat the
TRACKER950 internal beeper; use this to
sound alarms through the boat
have external MOB switches
send NMEA data to an autopilot, radar or
similar device
accept and display NMEA data from a depth
sounder
The TRACKER950 can be wired for Auto Power
so that it automatically turns on and off with the
boat power and you can not turn it on or off
manually. Wire Auto Power if you install the fuel
option, so that the TRACKER950 records all the
fuel that is used, or for convenience (see section
10-3).
It is vital to read the entire installation section of
this manual and the documentation that comes
with your antenna and any other units before
starting installation.
10-2 Options and accessories
a C-MAP™ electronic charts cartridges for
regions where you will be navigating.
b For DGPS positioning:
NAVMAN DGPS-1 DGPS antenna (this
replaces the standard NAVMAN 1220
GPS antenna).
Or a compatible differential receiver from
another manufacturer.
c Fuel kit for single or twin petrol engines.
Single-engine kit:
Fuel transducer with 8 m of cable to
connect to the TRACKER950.
Twin-engine kit:
Two fuel transducers, each with 8 m of
cable.
Y-cable to connect the transducers to the
TRACKER950.
T junction connector.
If you install a fuel kit, you should wire Auto
Power on so that the TRACKER950 is on all
the time the engine is on and no fuel
consumption is missed (see section 10-3).
d Depth sounder with transducer and NMEA
output.
e One or more external MOB switches:
momentary push-to-make switches which
are suitably waterproof and rugged.

Display unit
1 Keep the dust cover on the display unit
during installation. Choose a location for the
unit that is easily seen and is not exposed to
the direct sun or water. To the left of the helm
is preferred for when the helmsman is
wearing polarised sunglasses.
2 Screw the mounting bracket to the boat with
four screws.
3 Loosen the knobs at each end of the display
unit and sit the unit in the bracket, with the
rubber washers between the bracket and the
case.
Power/NMEA cable
4 Connect the Power/NMEA cable power wires
to a DC power supply between 11 and 16.6 V
DC as shown. This power supply must be
protected with a fuse or circuit breaker of
between 2 and 3 A. If it does not have this, fit
a 2 A fuse in the power supply line.
5 To enable Auto Power (see section 10),
connect the yellow Power/NMEA cable wire
to the positive power supply as shown.
If you do not want Auto Power, leave the
wire disconnected; make sure it can not
touch any other conductor.
6 Fit any external beepers and connect to the
Power/NMEA cable as shown. If the beepers
require more than 250 mA DC total, fit a relay.
7 Fit any external MOB switches and connect
to the Power/NMEA cable as shown.
Antenna
8 Install the GPS or DGPS antenna following
the instructions that come with the antenna.
The antenna must be placed so that it has a
clear view of the sky.
You can cut the antenna cable to lead it
through glands or to make it shorter. Or you
can extend it by up to 30 m (100 ft):
Before cutting it, install the cable
temporarily, finish installation and test the
system (follow steps 9 to 16).
Cut the cable some distance from a
connector. Install the cable in its final place.
Reconnect the wires and braid, matching
the wire colours. Ensure the joint is
waterproof and strong; we recommend
fitting heatshrink to each wire and over
the whole joint.
10-3 Installation
Do not cut the cable near a connector and
do not try to disassemble a connector.
Test the system again.
Optional fuel kit
9 Fit the fuel kit following the instructions that
come with the kit. You can cut the transducer
wires; follow the suggestions for cutting the
antenna cable.
Setup and test
10 Plug the cables into the back of the unit:
match the colour on the end of the plug
to the colour of the nut on the socket
lock the plug in place by pushing the
locking ring towards the socket and
turning it a quarter turn clockwise
If you plug a cable into the wrong
TRACKER950 socket by mistake, nothing
will be damaged.
11 Insert a C-MAP™ cartridge (see section 1-2).
12 Unclip the dust cover. Turn the
TRACKER950 on (see section 2-4). Adjust
the angle of the display unit to be easily
seen. Tighten the mounting knobs.
13 At the Satellite Status screen, check that it
displays GPS satellites (see section 3). Wait
for the GPS receiver to start up and the fix
type to change from ‘Acquiring’ to ‘GPS fix’ or
‘DGPS fix’. This should take less than two
minutes (see section 3-1). Note that it will only
give a DGPS fix if a DGPS antenna is fitted
and it is in range of a differential beacon.
14 Set up the TRACKER950:
Enter Local Time Ofst and Language
(see section 9-1).
Enter Map Datum and set up the four
user-definable fields (see section 9-2).
15 Set up the TRACKER950 for any options
you have installed:

Appendix B - Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting guide assumes that you have
read and understood this manual.
It is possible in many cases to solve difficulties
without having to send the unit back to the
manufacturer for repair. Please follow this
troubleshooting section before contacting the
nearest NAVMAN dealer.
There are no user serviceable parts. Specialised
methods and testing equipment are required to
ensure that the unit is reassembled correctly and
is waterproof. Users who service the
TRACKER950 themselves will void the warranty
(see appendix D).
Repairs to the TRACKER950 must only be carried
out by a service centre approved by Talon
Technology. If the unit must be sent to a service
centre for repair, you must send in any antennas
and fuel transducers as well.
More information can be found on our website:
www.navman.com.

a Cables not connected or plugged into wrong
sockets in display unit. Match the colours.
b Backlight too low. Turn on full (see section 2-5).
c Fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped.
d Faulty wiring.
2 TRACKER950 turns off unexpectedly:
a Power/NMEA cable not plugged in properly.
b Loose or corroded connection in Power/
NMEA cable. Check cable.
3 The language on the screen is wrong:
Choose the correct language (see section 9-
1).
4 No GPS or DGPS fix:

5 Takes long time to get fix at startup:
6 TRACKER950 position different from same
position on local charts:
Incorrect chart datum. Select the correct
chart datum (see section 9-1).
7 TRACKER950 GPS position different from
true position by more than 10 m:
a The normal error in GPS position will exceed
10 m for about 5 % of the time.
b Under special circumstances the US
Department of Defence may introduce a
deliberate and changing error in the GPS
positions of up to 300 m (1000 ft). This is
called Selective Availability. The error is
minimised if a DGPS antenna or differential
receiver is installed.
8 TRACKER950 navigating in wrong region:
In simulation mode. Turn simulation mode off
(see section 9-7).
9 The time or date on Satellite Status screen
is wrong or off:
a No GPS or DGPS fix.
b In simulation mode. Turn simulation mode off
(see section 9-7).
c Local Time Offset is wrong. The time
displayed is UTC (GMT) from the GPS
Satellites plus the Local Time Offset. Check
that the offset is correct (see section 9-1).
You must change the Local Time Offset
when daylight saving time starts and ends.
10 Autopilot not responding to TRACKER950;
no output to radar:
NMEA output disabled. Select NMEA Output
ON in the General Setup menu (see section 9-
