To 1. 2. 3. 4. calibrate: Press COMPASS button. Press SET button to enter programming menu. Press UP button twice, or until display shows DEVIATE COMPASS. Center the bubble inside the circle of the green bubble level and press YES button. (YES button is located just above the YES in the display). 5. When AUTODEV ROTATE SLOWLY text appears, rotate the unit 11/4 times in a span of approximately 10 seconds. 6. When calibration is complete, the display will show SUCCESSFUL. ! If it shows FAILED, repeat steps 1-6 above.

2 -- StraightHome TM

The StraightHome feature stores a unique position (*HOME*) in the Multi-Navigators memory. This unique feature allows for quick and easy navigation to the *HOME* position using the GPS and Compass functions of the MultiNavigation System (MNS). *HOME* is automatically recorded and named by pressing and holding the WPT button. The following is a simple example of the use of the StraightHome feature: You plan to walk to Cavern Hot Springs from your vehicle. You know the location of the hot springs, but after a relaxing soak you want to be certain you can find your vehicle at the end of the day. 2.1 -- Storing * HOME * 1. Near your vehicle, find an open area (without tree cover). 2. Power on the Multi-Navigator by pressing and holding ON. ! Wait for display to change from ACQUIRE to POSITION (Fig. 2). This will take approximately 2-3 minutes the first time the Multi-Navigator calculates your position.

Figure 2

3. Press and hold WPT for 5 seconds to store your vehicles *HOME* position. ! Display momentarily shows NEW HOME STORED (Fig. 3). 4. Power Multi-Navigator off. Now walk to Cavern Hot Springs and enjoy the day. After several hours at the hot springs, you are ready to return to your vehicle. 2.2 -- Finding *HOME* 1. At Cavern Hot Springs power on the Multi-Navigator. Figure 3 2. Wait for POSITION to be acquired. 3. Press COMPASS button. ! Display will show a bold left or right arrow and the distance to *HOME*. (Fig. 4) Vehicle 4. Rotate your body in the direction of the large arrow. ! Keep compass level using the green bubble level. *HOME* 5. When steering indicator looks like figure 5, you are facing your vehicle. 6. Begin your return trip to your Vehicle (HOME) vehicle (*HOME*). ! Notice distance decreases as you approach your Figure 4 vehicle. To preserve battery life, sight a distant landmark, in the direction of your vehicle and turn Multi-Navigator off. Walk to the landmark and press and hold the COMPASS button while holding the unit level. The compass will point in the direction of your initial bearing without accessing the GPS system. Sight another landmark, release the COMPASS button and repeat the process. Note! -- When you press the COMPASS button with the Multi-Navigator off the bearing used is based on the last position acquired. To establish a more accurate bearing power the Multi-Navigator back on to establish your new position, then press the COMPASS button. By repeating this process you can use the Multi-Navigator to quickly and easily find your way back *HOME* from the hot springs.

The Multi-Navigator also has the unique feature that allows access to the TrueMagnetic COMPASS when the unit is off. Simply press and hold the COMPASS button. 7.7-1 SIDE FUNCTIONS There is one side function related to the compass function. This will appear differently depending on the waypoints selected. (Fig. 22) 1. When no waypoint or *HOME* is selected there will be no side function. The compass main function works as a normal magnetic compass. The segment points North. The bearing, distance and a cardinal direction (SSW -- South Southwest) are also displayed. 2. When a GOTO waypoint is selected it is indicated at the top of the Compass Navigation screen with the bearing and the cardinal direction below. (Fig. 23). The segment points towards the GOTO waypoint. In Figure 23 the MOUNTAIN waypoint is to the left at a distance of 3.417 miles.

A normal magnetic compass can be accessed as a side function using LEFT or RIGHT. 3. When *HOME* is selected in the StraightHome function BACK is displayed just above *HOME* (Fig. 24) Bearing, distance and cardinal direction will also be shown. Figure 24 indicates HOME is straight in front of you. It is possible to scroll between a selected GOTO waypoint and *HOME* by pressing LEFT or RIGHT. Note! The TrueMagnetic compass is accurate to +/- 2 degrees, provided it has been calibrated and is held so that the bubble is centered. 7.7-2 SETTINGS There are seven possible settings related to the TrueMagnetic compass function. Access the settings by pressing SET while in the compass function. Scroll through the settings, by pressing UP or DOWN. GOTO WAYPOINT Setting To select a waypoint to navigate towards press YES. Use UP and DOWN to scroll through waypoints in alphabetical order starting with the waypoint last entered. Confirm by pressing YES. GOTO NAV STARTED will be displayed, and Multi-Navigator will return to the TrueMagnetic compass function. It is also possible to search by name. Press RIGHT. The first letter will flash. Use UP and DOWN to select the appropriate letter. Press RIGHT to move to the next letter. When desired waypoint is displayed press YES to confirm.
MAGNETIC VAR Setting Magnetic variation (declination) is the angle difference at your location between true geographic North and magnetic North (the direction all magnetic compasses point). It is important to note magnetic declination at your position, since magnetic declination varies and fluctuates slowly at different rates around the world. Most maps use geographic North as a reference and a magnetic compass points at magnetic North. It is therefore Figure 25 necessary to adjust the compass so the bearings correspond with the map. Figure 25 shows magnetic declination from a USGS topographic map. Available settings are MAN (manual) and AUTO (automatic). The Multi-Navigator has a built-in model to calculate the local magnetic declination automatically from the GPS position. If you are at all are unsure of the value of the magnetic variation we recommend you to select AUTO. If you select manual entry (MAN) you must enter the amount of declination in degrees and select either East or West. DEVIATE COMPASS Setting Press YES to auto deviate (calibrate) the TrueMagnetic Compass. See section 1.4 for instructions. It is recommended that the compass be calibrated after battery installation to obtain accuracies to +/- 2 degrees. CANCEL GOTO or DELETE *HOME* Setting This function is available only when a GOTO waypoint or a *HOME* position has been stored and no route is active. Press YES to delete *HOME* or cancel GOTO. WARNING! *HOME* cannot be recovered once it has been deleted. CANCEL ROUTE Setting This function is available only when a route has been stored and activated. To cancel the current route press SET. Reactivate the route or select a new route in the Route menu, section 8.2. GOTO LEG Setting This function is available only when a route has been stored and activated, section 8.2. In this function it is possible to manually select a leg to travel towards. The display will show the leg closest to your current position. If you wish to navigate using another leg press scroll to the leg with UP and DOWN. When desired leg is displayed press SET. MORE SETTINGS Described in section 7.1.

9.3 -- Other Grid Systems There are additional grid-systems available in different countries/areas. You will find other systems including MGRS, UK grid, Finnish grid, Taiwan grid, New Zealand grid, Swiss grid in section 7.2-2, POSITION FORMAT & MAP DATUM Setting.
10 -- Practical Navigation Example
10.1 -- Fishing Trip to Ice Lake You are planning a trip to fish in Ice Lake. You have a topographic map of the area, and will drive to the trailhead. Your plan is to store the vehicle as a *HOME* position and navigate to the lake using your new Multi-Navigator. After fishing you would like to travel back to the vehicle using the StraightHome feature. 10.1-1 Position of Ice Lake Before you can use your Multi-Navigator to find Ice Lake you need to determine the lakes location. Since your map uses the UTM coordinate system, determine the position of Ice Lake using the UTM tick marks on the map. 1. Connect like UTM markings with lines across the map. (Fig. 30) 2. Now, find the zone and map datum, in the maps margin (zone 11 & NAD-27). ! Since the map is North of the Equator, label the zone -- N 11. 3. Next measuring the Eastings and Northings of your location. ! Start in the lower left-hand corner of the box surrounding the your location. A. Measure in an Easterly direction until directly under your location. ! Approximately 600 meters to the right of 599000 mE. ! Therefore, the Easting coordinate is E599600. B. Now, measure in a northerly direction. ! Your location is approximately 750 meters North of 4790000 mN. ! The Northing value is N4790750.

Figure 30

The position of Ice Lake is: Zone N 11 Easting E599600 Northing N4790750 Map Datum NAD-27 (US) Since, you do not need the GPS receiver on while planning your trip turn it off to save battery life by pressing SET and then YES while in the POSITION function.

Since the GPS function will not work while standing still, it is preferable to use the COMPASS function for checking the direction. 3. Press COMPASS and the Multi-Navigator points you towards the LAKE waypoint (Fig. 31) ! Sight a landmark in the correct direction if you cannot see Ice Lake. ! Remember, hold the Multi-Navigator level by centering the bubble. Now turn the Multi-Navigator off and get out thereTM. 10.1-5 Checking Direction to Ice Lake When you reach the landmark you are ready to check the direction again. With power still off press and hold the COMPASS button, instantly activating the compass function. Using the pointers orient the Multi-Navigator to the direction of Ice Lake. Sight another landmark in that direction and release the COMPASS button. Continue your trip.

Figure 31

Note! When using the TrueMagnetic compass function with Multi-Navigator switched off, the direction and distance to Ice Lake will be based on the last time the GPS receiver was on. Remember, to get correct information based upon your current position you need to switch GPS receiver on. 10.1-6 Correct Direction & Distance to Ice Lake When you have walked for awhile and want an updated position using the GPS receiver turn the Multi-Navigator on. 1. Once your position has been acquired press COMPASS. ! Distance and direction from your current position to Ice Lake is now updated. 2. Now sight another landmark along the updated course to Ice Lake.
3. Turn the Multi-Navigator off and repeat the procedures in 10.1-5 above until you reach the lake. 10.1-7 At Ice Lake You have arrived at Ice Lake. Easy, wasnt it? Before you start fishing it is a good idea to cancel the setting for navigating to the lake since you have already found the lake. 1. Press SET in either COMPASS or GPS functions to access SETTINGS. 2. Scroll until you reach CANCEL GOTO and Press YES. This will 3. Switch the Multi-Navigator off and start fishing! 10.1-8 Finding Your Way Back When you have caught your limit and you want to start back for the vehicle turn the Multi-Navigator on and wait for it to acquire your position. 1. Press COMPASS and you will see BACK *HOME* with the direction and distance. (Fig. 32) 2. Turn your body until you face the direction of your vehicle, and start your trip back. Refer to sections 10.1-4 and 10.1-5 for navigation instructions. 10.1-9 Hints and Tips Figure 32 The previous example is one way you can use the Multi-Navigator. There are many other features you might want for use on your trips. You can, for example: ! Check MIN / MAX altitude in the ALTITUDE function. ! Check barometric pressure and weather forecast in the BARO function. ! Store positions along your trip as waypoints, in the MARK WAYPOINT function. ! Check ODOMETER and MAX speed, to see how far and fast you have travelled. ! Connect a number of stored waypoints into a route in the ROUTE menu. ! Create new waypoints using the MagniPointer. ! Check your current position in the POSITION function. ! Check your current rate of ascent or descent in the ALTITUDE function. As you see there are lots of possibilities, so use your imagination.
11 -- Maintenance & Fault Finding
11.1 -- Maintenance Clean instrument with a mild soap solution. DO NOT use detergents or high-pressure washing equipment. 11.2 -- Fault Finding The Multi-Navigator Does Not Switch ON: Check that you have inserted fresh batteries in the correct direction. GPS Receiver Cannot Calculate Its Position: Are you indoors? If so, go out on a fairly open spot and try again. If you are outdoors check that you have a clear sky. This is especially important when starting the unit for the first time, or if there has been a long period of time since last use. Altimeter Displays Incorrect Values: Calibrate your altimeter. The Altimeter is based on barometric pressure changes. Check BARO function to monitor changes in barometric pressure. Weather Forecast is Not Correct: The weather forecast is based on the history and rate of change in air pressure. This history is recorded even when the Multi-Navigator is off. It is advisable to have the MultiNavigator at a constant altitude for at least 6 hours before reading the weather forecast.

TrueMagnetic Compass is More Than 5 Degrees Off: As any magnetic compass the TrueMagnetic compass is disturbed by magnetic fields. Since the internal electronics and batteries can generate magnetic fields inside the MultiNavigator you must calibrate (autodeviate) the compass to compensate for these disturbances. Calibrate it at least every time you change batteries. After Calibrating the Compass it is Still off From North: Check the local magnetic variation (declination) normally indicated on the map of your area. If you are unsure of the magnetic variation select AUTO. The TrueMagnetic compass function will calculate the size and direction of the magnetic variation needed using the current GPS position. Also check to see if the meridians on your map are referring to Geographic North, Magnetic North or the local grid system as the North reference system. Select the North reference as the one used on your map.

13 -- Important Information / Warnings
Global Positioning System (GPS) The Global Positioning System is owned and operated by the US Government, which is responsible for its maintenance and functionality. The system is subject to changes that can affect performance and accuracy of all GPS equipment. Currently the approximate accuracy is better than 15 meters 2D RMS. The availability of GPS signals can be limited in cities, deep valleys and other areas with obstacles blocking the sky. Accuracy of Electronic Compass The functionality of the electronic compass is dependent upon it being calibrated. The electronic compass should be held level by centering the bubble. When calibrated and level, accuracy of the compass will be up to +/- 2 degrees from true course. Accuracy of Altimeter The Altimeter function uses the built-in pressor sensor for calculations. Weather changes detected by the barometer will effect the altitude calculated by the instrument. The altimeter must be calibrated at least once a day to provide accurate readings. Product Changes / Improvements The Brunton Company reserves the right to change and improve the Multi-Navigator without notice to any person or organization.

APPENDICES

Glossary
Included below are words that are used quite frequently. Knowing the meaning of them will make your navigation more fun, and the use of the Multi-Navigator even easier. Global Positioning System (GPS) GPS has more than 24 operating satellites around the Earth. Each satellite provides the precise timing used by the GPS receiver in the Multi-Navigator to calculate its position. At most your receiver can view twelve satellites at any one time due to the location of the satellites relative to the Earth. WAYPOINT A position which is stored in memory. A waypoint is stored complete with latitude, longitude, altitude (based an barometric pressure), time and date along with an eight character name. Any waypoint can be used as a position to navigate towards. LEG -- Any two waypoints connected together. Two or more legs can form a route. ROUTE A series of legs (up to 99) connected together. ACQUISITION When the GPS receiver is collecting satellite data, but has not yet calculated a position. TRACKING - When the GPS receiver collects satellite data, has calculated a position, and is continuing to keep track of acquired satellites. XTE (Cross Track Error) The distance you have deviated from the original straight line of travel when navigating to a waypoint. How far off course you are. TTG (Time To Go) The calculated time it will take you to reach the waypoint you are navigating towards based on your current rate of travel. BEARING The direction to a selected waypoint from your current acquired position. COURSE The direction you are travelling.
