GETTING STARTED
This section shows you how to begin using your MAP 410 for the first time.
After a brief discussion of the receiver, the following areas will be covered:
• Battery Installation
• First time usage, initializing the receiver
• Operation
Receiver Description
The MAP 410 is a portable, cartographic GPS receiver with a high-
resolution display that represents your location and all of your surroundings.
The powerful 12-channel receiver is compact and lightweight for easy use
while making your way outdoors. You’ll be able to navigate to destinations
all over the world using the MAP 410’s internal map with waypoints,
navaids and points of interest. Your receiver also stores up to 500 waypoints
that are used to navigate. Using four AA batteries, the MAP 410 will
operate continuously for up to 12 hours and the internal lithium backup
battery will keep the receiver’s memory active for up to 10 years.
Receiver Accuracy
The satellite constellation that provides the GPS information your receiver
uses is maintained by the Department of Defense (DoD). GPS positioning,
for general use, provides 25 meter RMS accuracy or better. Since the
signals generated by these satellites are publicly accessible, the DoD has
introduced errors into the satellite signals for security reasons. These errors
are referred to as Selective Availability (SA).
At present, your GPS position will be accurate within 100 meters RMS
horizontally and 150 meters RMS vertically. Due to the errors introduced by
SA, it is possible to get readings outside of these value at times.

ENSOR
Your MAP 410 has a built-in barometric pressure sensor to give you more
accurate altitude readings. The altimeter does not need any calibration or
activation, this function is automatic. The MAP 410 uses the combination of
a pressure sensor and GPS elevation to give altitude readings of about +/-
200 feet.
