LOCATING ANOTHER GMR-GPS USER

During an excursion with another GMR-GPS user, it is possible to locate this user’s position

provided he/she transmits the position, thereby giving you the coordinates of the remote

GMRS-GPS unit. To transmit and receive the coordinates, both GMR-GPS units must set to same

radio channel number and CTCSS subcode number. By saving these coordinates, you will be able

to establish a route to this position using the pointer page compass. To use this feature, apply the

following example:

1. Allow the other user to travel a route to a destination of choice using the guidelines

established for the trial run outlined previously.

2. Along this route, the other user will enter a few waypoints, including his endpoint or

destination.

3. When the other user reaches the destination, the coordinates of this location must be

transmitted to your GMR-GPS unit in order for you to locate this position.

4. To transmit this information, the other user must select the waypoint, press the Mark (M)

button, highlight SEND and press Enter. The MARK SENDING display appears.

5. The GP LOCATOR page appears on your unit (receiving unit, accompanied by a unique

tone; the information displayed includes the remote unit coordinates

(Latitude and Longitude) and the remote user identification (ID)

name. In addition, the GO TO legend is highlighted (boxed).

6. If the Satellite signal is lost prior to the location being sent, a

WARNING screen appears when the MARK button is pressed,

indicating loss of signal and suggesting the location be entered

and sent manually.

a. Highlight YES using the Up/Down wheel key, and press Enter;

the MARK page appears with the location information and the

option of SAVEing or SENDing (highlighted with a box) this data.

b. To send the information, press Enter; to save the information,

highlight SAVE and press Enter. The data will be saved in

memory for transmission at a later time.

c. When NO is highlighted and Enter is pressed, the WAYPOINTS

sub-menu page appears with the waypoint in question highlighted.

7. On the receiving unit, if you press the Enter button, the map page will

appear, indicating the position of the other user relative to your position.

8. Select the Pointer page using the PAGE button; the pointer will

show you the direction to the coordinates that were transmitted to

your unit.

9. Use the pointer page to establish a track to this position. The

compass pointer will eventually establish the direction you must go

to reach this location.

10. Walk in the direction of the compass pointer for at least 10 seconds;

the pointer page will not only show you the direction, but will also

indicate the distance and time to reach this destination.

11. When you are within approximately 10 seconds of your destination, a

message screen appears to advise you that you have arrived at your

destination point.

NOTE: The unit will not guide you to the exact spot, or coordinates

indicated, but it will be accurate to within 10 seconds of

Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA). Therefore, when you are within range of the

position indicated,start looking for the other party.
