About GPS

What is GPS?The Global Positioning System (GPS) applies modern technology to the ancient art o navigation.

The U.S. Department o Deense has developed and launched a series o positioning satellites in

an orbiting constellation. These satellites are used as reerence points much the same way stars

have been used in conventional navigation.

Using these satellites, a GPS receiver can determine your position anywhere on the globe. GPS

provides accurate inormation about coordinate position, elevation, speed, and direction o travel.

Many people have discovered the benefts o GPS or recording tracks and much more.

How Does GPS Work?

The GPS constellation consists o at least 24 satellites, each carrying several atomic clocks to

ensure the most accurate time possible. The satellites broadcast low-power radio waves containing

the satellites identity code and the exact time (to the nanosecond) that the message was sent.

When a GPS receiver picks up a satellite signal, it identifes the satellite and compares the signal

time with its own clock. The time dierence represents the time it has taken or that radio wave to

reader.

travel rom the satellite to the receiver. Since radio waves travel at the speed o light, the time di-

erence can be used to calculate the distance rom the satellite to the GPS receiver.

The satellites identity code provides the location o the satellite, and the distance to the receiver

creates a sphere o possible locations or the GPS receiver. Without more inormation, the receiver

knows only that it is located somewhere on that sphere.

Two additional satellites are necessary to narrow down the receivers position. Each o these

satellites sends a similar radio message containing time and identity inormation. The GPS receiverchecks the orbital location o each satellite and uses the elapsed time to create two additional

spheres o possible locations. These three spheres intersect at two points; however, one o these

points is eliminated because it is ar away rom the Earths surace. Thereore, the second point

is assumed to be correct. The data rom these three satellites provides the receiver with a two-

dimensional location.

Data acquired rom a ourth satellite pinpoints the receivers exact location. This additional position-

ing inormation allows the GPS receiver to calculate its elevation, which is particularly important or

GPS users in mountainous locations.

GPS Position Accuracy

Any buildings, natural structures, or heavy oliage that obstruct the GPS antennas view o the sky

prevent satellite signals rom reaching the receiver and decrease the accuracy o your position.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install non-DeLorme maps on the Earthmate GPS PN-20?

DeLormes proessional GIS sotware, XMap, allows you to register non-DeLorme maps and

transer them to the Earthmate GPS PN-20.

How can I improve the lie o my batteries?When the backlight is on, it consumes a large part o the battery. Changing the backlight timer to

turn o ater 15 seconds could double the lie o your batteries. For inormation on changing the

backlight timer, see ToModifytheBacklightTimeron page 69.

Other ways to increase the lie o the batteries include:

Removingyourbatteriesforlong-termstorage

SettingtheGPSSettingstoPowerSavingmode

DisablingGPSwhileindoors

Usingbatterieswithhighermilliampratings(suchasDuracellUltras,EnergizerE2s,etc.)

Why are the new batteries that I put in the device the last time I used it (a month ago)

already dead?

Because the Earthmate GPS PN-20 has a real-time clock that requires power even when the device

is powered o, your batteries are constantly in use. I you use your Earthmate GPS PN-20 spo-

radically (more than a month between uses), remove the batteries or long-term storage and then

reinsert them when you want to use the device to improve battery lie.

Why does it take so long to fnd satellites?

Acquiring satellite data takes longer i the batteries are low or i the Earthmate GPS PN-20 does not

have a clear view o the sky. Be sure that trees, buildings, and other obstacles are not blocking the

Earthmate GPS PN-20 when you begin tracking.

Other actors, such as i you havent used the device or a long time or i youve moved the device a

great distance rom its last location, can aect the amount o time it takes to fnd satellites.

How do I reset the Earthmate GPS PN-20 when it will not turn o?

You can reset the Earthmate GPS PN-20 by holding the Power button or seven seconds. I that

does not work, remove and replace the batteries to reset the Earthmate GPS PN-20.

Why wont my Lithium-ion battery hold a charge?

The Li- ion battery is designed to last or 300 -500 uses, depending on environmental conditions.

the spatial database or each division. They must collect inormation regarding new line locations,

conditions, and areas requiring repair or replacement to update the database and assist in planning

or the next months maintenance schedule.

The company uses the Earthmate GPS PN-20 with DeLormes proessional XMap GIS sotware

to perorm the updates. Each division is divided into quadrants with crews o two assigned to each

quadrant. Each crew has an Earthmate GPS PN-20 and is responsible or uploading the maps and

data they need on the device beore heading out into the feld. This data includes an updated copy o

the quadrants GIS utility line layer, road and topographic maps, waypoints o pole mile markers, high-resolution aerial imagery downloaded rom the state GIS department, and digitally scanned paper

maps o utility line schematics. These maps are geo-registered to the DeLorme map using XMap.

Preparing data or and transerring data onto the Earthmate GPS PN-20

1. Open XMap, set up a subscription to the central database, and obtain an updated copy o the

utility layer or the division.

2. Load the GIS layer into the GIS tab and use the spatial query tool to isolate the line objects

within a particular quadrant.

3. From the ImageReg tab, open the digital image o the schematic map or the quadrant. Usethe GIS line layer as reerence to place points on the digital image that correspond to points

on the DeLorme map. Then, process the image to geo-register it to the map.

4. Visit the state GIS website and download any digital aerial imagery in .sid or .ti ormat that

corresponds to the quadrant. Use the Map Data tab to load the imagery into XMap.

5. From the Handheld Export tab, center the map on the quadrant and customize the handheld

grid size to best ft the area. Then, click the Select/Edit tool and select the grids on the mapthat cover the quadrant.

6. Click the Options button and select the check box next to each dataset to transer tothe Earthmate GPS PN-20. For high-resolution aerial imagery, select XMap Raster DataSnapshot. For topographic, road, and GIS data, select XMap USA Topographic Data. Forscanned historic maps, select the ImageReg Data series. Customize the display ranges o

the datasets based on your preerences.7. Name and save the map package. Then, click the Exchange button on the Handheld Export

tab or in the toolbar. Send the mile marker waypoint layer and saved map package containing

the road, topographic, historic, and aerial imagery maps to the device and then click Done.

Using the Earthmate GPS PN-20 in the feld

With all the data transerred to the Earthmate GPS PN-20, the feld crew or each quadrant is ready

to head into the feld to update and veriy the utility data. One feld crew is responsible or updating

a quadrant with signifcant additions and changes to the existing inrastructure. They have a list o

mile marker ranges where these changes took place.

1. Use the Routes option on the Earthmate GPS PN-20 to create a route rom the feld ofce

(current GPS location) to the utility waypoint mile marker next to the service road entrance.

2. Once the feld crew arrives at the entrance, the worker with the Earthmate GPS PN-20 di-

rects the driver to each mile marker on the list where utility additions and modifcations were

made. They use the bearing and distance inormation or each waypoint to navigate along

the service road. Once they are parallel to a mile marker, they set out on oot to the pipeline,

using the aerial imagery, topographic, and GIS data to give them feld reerence.

3. Once the line locations are located, the crew collects pertinent waypoints and tracks on the

Earthmate GPS PN-20 to record inormation about the line. They use the various waypointsymbols on the Earthmate GPS PN-20 to represent dierent eatures, such as areas in need

o service or areas where there are dangerous trees that need to be removed. When they

come across an area where the GIS data does not correlate with the location o the utility line

in the feld, they record a track or that length o segment and drop waypoints at each line vertex.


20/93

4. When the feld crew is fnished, they return to the ofce and download the waypoints and

tracks to XMap. Then they review the data to update any labels that need clarifcation and put

additional notes or the points using the MapNote eature in the Draw tab.

5. Once they are fnished with the review, they synchronize their feld data to the central data-

base using the synchronize eature in XMap.

6. The next day, the database manager responsible or the division reviews their synchronized

data against the corporate GIS layer and updates the corporate layer within XMap.

The Satellites Page

Viewing the Satellites Page

Once you turn on the Earthmate GPS PN-20, the Satellites Page displays. The Satellites Page inorms

you o your current GPS status, the number o satellites the Earthmate GPS PN-20 is acquiring data

rom, the signal strength, and the GPS accuracy (available only when a 2-D or 3-D fx is obtained).

GPS and WAAS Status

GPS status displays in the upper-let corner o the page and displays the ollowing, depending on

your satellite acquisition status:

GPS OThe GPS is disabled.

No FixThe GPS cannot fnd sufcient satellite data to determine your current GPS position.

2-DThe GPS connection is successul, but the connection quality is not quite as sufcientas a 3-D fx. This usually indicates insufcient data or an accurate location because only three

satellites are being used or signals rom the satellites are poor. Move your receiver to another

location until you get better reception.

3-DThe GPS receiver is receiving sufcient satellite data to determine your location.

I WAAS displays in the upper-right corner o the page, the Earthmate GPS PN-20 has obtained a

WAAS connection. WAAS provides up to fve times greater position accuracy than a regular 2-D or

3-D connection. WAAS is available only in North America.

Satellite Constellation and Signal Graph

Both the satellite constellation and the satellite signal graph display visible satellites and their identi-

ying numbers, which are assigned by the Department o Deense.

In the satellite constellation, satellite-shaped icons display each satellites position in the sky relative

to the devices current position.

In the satellite signal graph, each satellite is represented as a bar that is sized according to signal

strength. Longer bars have greater strength and shorter bars have less strength.

The icons in the satellite constellation and the lines in the signal graph are color coded based on the

quality o the data they are transmitting:
