FCC Statement
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a normal installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an output on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help.
A shielded cable must be used when connecting a peripheral to the serial ports.

Important
It is the owner's sole responsibility to install and use the instrument in a manner that will not cause
accidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this product is solely responsible for observing
safe boating practices.
Global Positioning System: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US government
which is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to
changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment anywhere in the world
including the TRACKER. Whilst the NAVMAN TRACKER is a precision navigation instrument, it can be
misused or misinterpreted, which can result in its use being unsafe. To reduce the risk of misusing or
misinterpreting the TRACKER, the user must read and understand all aspects of this Installation and
Operation manual. We also suggest that the user practice all operations using the built in simulator
before using the TRACKER at sea.
Electronic Chart: The electronic chart used by the TRACKER is an aid to navigation and is designed to
supplement the use of official government charts not replace them. Only official government charts
supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for safe and prudent navigation.
Always supplement the information provided by the TRACKER with other plotting sources such as
observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings. Should the information not agree
then the discrepancy must be resolved before proceeding any further.
Fuel Computer: Fuel economy can alter drastically depending on the boat loading and sea conditions.
The fuel computer should not be the sole source of information concerning available fuel onboard and
the electronic information should be supplemented by visual or other checks of the fuel load. This is
necessary due to possible operator induced errors such as forgetting to reset the fuel used when filling
the tank, running the engine with the fuel computer not switched on or other operator controlled actions
that may render the device inaccurate. Always ensure that adequate fuel is carried onboard for the intended
trip plus a reserve to allow for unforeseen circumstances.
NAVMAN NZ LIMITED DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY USE OF THIS PRODUCT IN A WAY THAT
MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS, DAMAGE OR THAT MAY VIOLATE THE LAW.
Governing Language: This statement, any instruction manuals, user guides and other information
relating to the product (Documentation) may be translated to, or has been translated from, another language

for navigating in a particular region. When a chart
card is plugged in, the extra details automatically
appear on the TRACKER’s chart display.
C-MAP™ user cards are used to store navigation
data. Each user card expands the TRACKER’s
memory and allows the data to be transferred to
another TRACKER easily (see section 11).
When a card is inserted or removed it does not matter
if the TRACKER is turned on or off.

Tip: Record the tracks in good conditions.
When recording is on and the track becomes full
then recording continues and the oldest points in the
track are deleted. The maximum length of a track
depends on the selected track interval: a small
interval will give a shorter, more detailed track and a
long interval will give a longer, less detailed track, as
shown in these examples:

4 Fuel display
To use the fuel display, the optional fuel kit must be
installed and the fuel data set up (see section 13-4).
To go to the fuel display, press DISP and select Fuel.
The fuel display shows:
Used: The total fuel used since it was reset to 0 by
the Clear Used command (see section 13-4).
Remaining: The amount of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank(s).
Flow: The fuel consumption. For twin engine
installations, the fuel flow for each engine is shown
separately. This is useful for checking that both
engines are under the same load.
Economy: The distance travelled per unit of fuel
used. The units are set by the units selected for speed
and fuel. Adjust throttle and trim for best economy.
The bigger the number the better the economy.
Speed: Boat speed over ground.
Range: The estimated distance that the boat is able
to travel, based on fuel remaining and current fuel
consumption.
Warnings:
Fuel economy can change drastically depending on boat loading and sea conditions. Always
carry adequate fuel for the journey plus a sufficient reserve.
Each time fuel is added or removed use the fuel setup menu (see section 13-4) to record the
fuel or else fuel remaining and the low fuel alarm will be meaningless!

Navigation data
The boat is sailing from the start to the destination and has moved off the plotted course from the start to the
destination.
BRG Bearing to Destination Bearing to the destination from the boat.
+BRG Bearing to cursor Bearing to cursor from boat (cursor mode, see section 3-1-1).
CDI Course Deviation Indicator When the boat is navigating to a point, the chart and highway displays
show a parallel line on either side of the plotted course. These two
lines are called the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) lines. The distance
from the plotted course to a CDI line is the CDI scale.
Set the CDI scale (see section 13-2) to the maximum distance that the
boat should deviate from the plotted course. The chart and highway
displays show the CDI lines, which are like a highway over the water
where the boat will move. The displays show how far the boat has
deviated from the plotted course and if the boat is approaching a CDI
line. If the XTE alarm is enabled (see section 13-6) an alarm will sound
if the boat reaches a CDI line.
COG Course Over Ground Direction in which the boat is moving over the ground.
CTS Course To Steer Optimum course to steer to return to the plotted course.
DTG Distance To Go Distance from the boat to the destination.
ETA Expected Time of Arrival At the destination, assuming that SOG and COG remain constant.
+RNG Range to cursor Distance from boat to cursor (cursor mode, see section 3-1-1).
SOG Speed Over Ground Current boat speed over the ground. This is not necessarily the same
as the boat speed through the water nor the speed at which it is
approaching the destination.
STR Steering The difference between COG and CTS.
TTG Time To Go The estimated time to reach the destination.
XTE Cross Track Error The distance from the boat to the nearest point of the plotted course.
XTE may have a letter: R means steer to the right to return to the plotted
course, L means steer to the left.
VMG Velocity Made Good The speed at which the boat is approaching the destination.
