It is the owner's sole responsibility to install and use the instrument in a manner that will not causeaccidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this product is solely responsible for observingsafe boating practices.

Global Positioning System: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US governmentwhich is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject tochanges which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment anywhere in the worldincluding the TRACKER. Whilst the NAVMAN TRACKER is a precision navigation instrument, it can bemisused or misinterpreted, which can result in its use being unsafe. To reduce the risk of misusing ormisinterpreting the TRACKER, the user must read and understand all aspects of this Installation andOperation manual. We also suggest that the user practice all operations using the built in simulatorbefore using the TRACKER at sea.

Electronic Chart: The electronic chart used by the TRACKER is an aid to navigation and is designed tosupplement the use of official government charts not replace them. Only official government chartssupplemented 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 asobservations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings. Should the information not agreethen 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 andthe electronic information should be supplemented by visual or other checks of the fuel load. This isnecessary due to possible operator induced errors such as forgetting to reset the fuel used when fillingthe tank, running the engine with the fuel computer not switched on or other operator controlled actionsthat may render the device inaccurate. Always ensure that adequate fuel is carried onboard for the intendedtrip plus a reserve to allow for unforeseen circumstances.

1-2 Plug-in cards

1 IntroductionTRACKER chartplottersNAVMAN’s TRACKER chartplotters are compact,ruggedly built, highly integrated navigation instruments.They have been designed to be easy to use. Complexnavigation functions can be performed with a few keypresses, taking the hard work out of navigation.

This manual covers these NAVMAN chartplotters:TRACKER 5500

Colour display, external GPS antenna.TRACKER 5500i

Colour display, internal GPS antenna.TRACKER 5100

Greyscale display, external GPS antenna.TRACKER 5100i

Greyscale display, internal GPS antenna.The TRACKER has a built-in chart of the world,suitable for route planning and general interest. Tosee chart details for a region, plug in a C-MAP™ chartcard (an electronic chart).

The TRACKER receives information from the GPSsystem and displays the boat’s position and speed.

The TRACKER can navigate to a point or can navigatealong a route. When the boat is navigating to one ofthese points, the TRACKER displays courseinformation for the helmsman to follow.

The TRACKER can control an autopilot and candisplay depth information from a depth sounder. Withan optional fuel kit, the TRACKER becomes asophisticated yet easy to use fuel computer. Navigationdata can be saved to a plug-in user card so that it canbe easily transferred to another NAVMAN chartplotter.

The TRACKER is part of the NAVMAN family ofinstruments, which includes instruments for speed,depth, wind and repeaters. These instruments can beconnected together to form an integrated data system(see section 14).

For maximum benefit, please read this manualcarefully before installing and using the unit. Specialterms are explained in appendix C.

Cleaning and maintenanceCaution should be used when cleaning the TRACKER,and especially the screen of the TRACKER. Only usea clean sponge or chamois soaked in fresh water andmild detergent. Never use a dry cloth as this may dragdried salt crystals across the screen resulting inscratching. Do not use any form of abrasive cleaner,solvent, petrol or other chemical cleaner.

Push the dust cover over the display when theTRACKER is turned off.

1-1 CarePlug-in cardsHandle plug-in cards carefully. Keep them in theirprotective cases when not plugged into the TRACKER.

If a card gets dirty or wet, clean it with a damp clothor mild detergent.

Keep the card holder in place in the display unit at alltimes to prevent moisture from entering the cardcompartment.

The TRACKER can use two kinds of plug-in cards:

C-MAP™ chart card have chart details requiredfor navigating in a particular region. When a chartcard is plugged in, the extra details automaticallyappear on the TRACKER’s chart display.

C-MAP™ user cards are used to store navigationdata. Each user card expands the TRACKER’smemory and allows the data to be transferred toanother TRACKER easily (see section 11).

When a card is inserted or removed it does not matterif the TRACKER is turned on or off.

Or distance intervals.

The track of where the boat has been can bedisplayed on the chart. The TRACKER can displayone track while recording another.

To work with tracks, (see section 13-5).

The TRACKER can store five tracks:

Track 1 can hold up to 2000 points and is intendedto record the normal progress of the boat.

Tracks 2, 3, 4 and 5 can hold up to 500 pointseach and are intended to record sections to beretraced accurately, for example entering ariver mouth.

Tip: Record the tracks in good conditions.When recording is on and the track becomes fullthen recording continues and the oldest points in thetrack are deleted. The maximum length of a trackdepends on the selected track interval: a smallinterval will give a shorter, more detailed track and along interval will give a longer, less detailed track, asshown in these examples:

GPS worldwide navigationThe US Government operates the GPS system. Twenty-four satellites orbit the earth and broadcast position andtime signals. The positions of these satellites areconstantly changing. The GPS receiver analyses thesignals from the closest satellites and calculates exactlywhere it is on earth. This is called the GPS position.

The accuracy of the GPS position is typically better than10 m (33 ft) for 95% of the time. A GPS antenna canreceive signals from the GPS satellites when it is almostanywhere on earth.

GPS antennasTRACKERs 5500i and 5100i have built in GPS antennas;TRACKERs 5500 and 5100 are usually connected tothe external GPS antenna supplied. All TRACKERs havea sensitive 12-channel receiver built in. The receivertracks signals from all satellites visible above the horizonand uses measurements from all satellites more than5° above the horizon to calculate the position.

7 SatellitesDGPSA DGPS system uses correction signals to remove someof the errors in the GPS position. The TRACKER canuse one of two types of DGPS system:

WAAS and EGNOS DGPSWAAS and EGNOS are two satellite based DGPSsystems. The correction signals are broadcast bysatellites and are received by the TRACKER’sstandard GPS antenna. The accuracy of thecorrected GPS position is typically better than 5 m(16 ft) for 95% of the time.

WAAS covers all of the USA and most of Canada.EGNOS will cover most of Western Europe whenit becomes operational about the end of 2003. Toenable WAAS and EGNOS DGPS, (seesection 13-3).

Differential beacon DGPSDifferential beacons are land based radiotransmitters that broadcast correction signals


that can be received by a special receiver on theboat. Differential beacons are usually onlyinstalled near ports and important waterways,and each beacon has a limited range. Theaccuracy of the corrected GPS position istypically better than 2 to 5 m (6 to 16 ft).

To use differential beacon DGPS, the TRACKERmust be installed with an external DGPS antenna,such as the NAVMAN DGPS 1 (see section 15-3).

StartupEach time a GPS receiver is turned on, it normally takesabout 50 seconds before it outputs the first position.Under some circumstances it will take up to two minutesor longer.

The satellite display has information about the GPSsatellites and GPS position.

To go to the satellite display, press DISP and selectSatellite.

13-2 Chart setupRotationThe options for chart rotation are:

North up: North is always at the top of thechart display.Track up: The chart is rotated so that the boatdirection is to the top of the display. This optionis useful for navigating narrow harbours orrivers. The TRACKER asks for a coursedeviation; this is how much the boat directionneeds to change to make the chart redraw.

Tip: If the chart redraws too frequently,increase the course deviation setting.

Course up: This option is only available if theboat is navigating to a destination. The chart isrotated so that the plotted course to thedestination is vertical.

Projected courseThe TRACKER can estimate the course after a giventime, based on the current speed and heading (seesection 3-4). The options are 2 minutes, 10 minutes,30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or Off.

CDI ScaleThe CDI Scale is described in appendix C, CDI. Theoptions are 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 10.0distance units.

Plotter modeOccasionally it is desirable to use a chart scale whichis not available on a chart card. Examples are:

To zoom in to a small scale to track very smallboat movements.If there is no detailed chart for an area, forexample when crossing an ocean.

If Plotter mode is On, then if the chart zooms to ascale which is not available, the TRACKER will enterplotter mode and will only display the boat positionand track (if enabled). Chart and map informationwill no longer be displayed and the display is whitewith black crosshatch lines.

For normal use, turn Plotter mode to Off.

Map datum and map shiftSatellite derived positions on the TRACKER arebased on a worldwide reference (datum) known asWGS84. Most paper charts are based on WGS84.However, some paper charts are not based onWGS84, which results in an offset between a positionon the TRACKER and the same position plotted onthe paper chart.

To match the TRACKER’s positions with a local chartthat is not based on WGS84:

Either select Map datum and select the datumfor the local chart. See appendix A for a list ofthe available datums. WGS84 is the defaultdatum, and the datum most commonly used onpaper charts.

Or, if the correct datum is not available, retainthe WGS84 datum and apply a map shift (seebelow).

Map shiftMap shift is a correction applied to the TRACKER’spositions so that they match a chart’s positions.

Warning: Map shift is for eliminating minoroffsets. It should not be used if the correct datumis available. Use map shift with caution: incorrectapplication will cause incorrect boat positions.

Set map shift1 Move the boat to a known point on the chart,

for example a marina berth.2 In the Chart setup menu, select Map shift.3 Move the cursor to the position on the chart

where the boat actually is.4 Press ENT to set the new map shift. The boat

will now be displayed at its actual location.

Clear map shiftClearing the map shift removes any map shift fromthe TRACKER’s positions.

1 In the Chart setup menu, select Map shift.2 Press MENU and select Clear.

WaypointsControls how waypoints are displayed on the chart.The options are:

Hide all: No waypoints are displayed.

Show all: All waypoints are displayed.

Selected: Waypoints with their display optionset to Icon or I+N (Icon and Name) aredisplayed (see section 9).

Chart display optionsThe other chart setup options allow an extensiverange of chart card features to be shown. Configurethe most useful display format.

Bathymetric Lines and soundingsChart cards contain a large amount of spot soundingand depth contour data. This can be selectivelydisplayed by turning Bathymetric Lines and SpotSoundings on, then selecting the range to displaywith Bath and Sndgs Min and Max.

Attention AreasAreas of importance, such as restricted anchoragesand shallow areas, are highlighted as Attention Areas.


13-3 DGPS setupInternal GPSDisable or enable the TRACKER’s internal GPSreceiver. Disable this if a non-standard GPS antennathat sends NMEA data is installed.

DGPS SourceEnables or disables the satellite based DGPScorrection (see section 7). The options are None orWAAS/EGNOS. Do not enable WAAS/EGNOSoutside their coverage areas or the accuracy of theposition might be degraded.

WAAS covers all of the USA and most of Canada.EGNOS will cover most of Western Europe when itbecomes operational about the end of 2003.

Restart GPSRestarts the internal GPS receiver for servicing ortroubleshooting. The GPS receiver takes up to threeminutes to restart. The satellite display shows thestatus of the GPS receiver (see section 7).

The options are:

On: displays attention area boundaries andinformation icons .Off: does not display attention area boundariesor information icons .

Note: In some early chart cards the information icons are inactive.

Depth area limits (TRACKER 5500, 5500i)The depth area limits control the chart water coloursfor different depths. There are three water colours:

Static NavigationThe displayed speed and course become erraticwhen the boat stops. Turn Static navigation On todisplay speed and course as zero when the boat isstopped.

Position, Speed and Course FilterWaves and wind cause the boat position, speed andcourse to fluctuate slightly. To give stable readings,the TRACKER calculates these values by takingseveral measurements and averaging them.

A lower value averages measurements over ashorter period of time. This gives the mostaccurate value but has the most fluctuations.

A higher value averages measurements over alonger period of time. This gives the moststable value but will ignore some true speedchanges.

Set the Position, Speed and Course filters to thelowest values which give stable readings. The rangeof each filter is 1 to 60 seconds or Off (0).

Surface to Depth area limit 1:Shallow water colour.

Depth area limit 1 to Depth area limit 2:Medium water colour.

Below Depth area limit 2:Deep water colour.

The actual water colours depend on the LCD colourscheme in use (see section 13-1).

13-4 Fuel SetupTo use these fuel features first purchase and installthe optional single or twin engine fuel kit.

13-6 Alarms setup

Fuel CalWithout calibration the error in fuel measurementscan be up to ± 10%. Calibration can reduce the errorsubstantially. For twin engine installations calibrationof each transducer is required.

Calibrating the fuel transducer requires accuratemeasurement of the fuel used. This is easiest with asmall portable tank. It should be noted that due to airpockets, it is very difficult to fill underfloor tanks tothe same level twice. At least 15 litres (4 US gallons)should be used to ensure an accurate calibration.(The more fuel used, the more accurate thecalibration will be.) Each transducer in a twin engineinstallation must be calibrated separately. This maybe done at the same time with two portable tanks, orat different times using one tank at a time.

The procedure is:1 Select Clear Used to set Used to zero.2 Connect the measurement tank(s) to the

engine(s) via the fuel transducer(s).3 Run the engine(s) at normal cruising speed until

at least 15 litres (4 US gallons) is indicated(30 litres [8 US gallons] for twin engines).

For alarm operation, see section 2-5. To turn off analarm which is sounding, press ESC.

Arrival radius alarmWhen the arrival radius alarm is enabled, an alarmwill sound:a When the boat is going to a point and the boat

comes within the arrival radius of thedestination.

b Or when the boat is navigating a route and theboat comes within the arrival radius of awaypoint in the route.To enable the alarm, enter an arrival radius (upto 9.99 distance units).To disable the alarm, set the arrival radius to Off (0).

Anchor alarmWhen the anchor alarm is enabled, an alarm willsound when the boat moves by more than the anchoralarm distance.

4 Check the actual amount of fuel used perengine. The easiest way to do this is to refillthe tank(s) to the original level(s) and recordthe value(s) shown on the fuel dispenser.

5 Select Fuel Cal. The amount of fuel that theTRACKER has measured is displayed.Change the number to the actual fuel amountused. (Repeat for the other engine in a twinengine installation).

Flow FilterNormally engines do not draw fuel from the tank at asteady rate. To give a stable fuel flow reading, theTRACKER calculates the flow values by taking severalmeasurements and averaging them. The flow filtersets the period over which the fuel flow is averaged,and can be set from 1 to 180 seconds or Off.

Set the flow filter to the lowest value which give astable flow. Usually a value of 10 to 15 seconds willgive a satisfactory result for carburettor engines. Fuelinjected engines may require a larger value.

This setting affects the Flow rate and Economydisplays. It does not affect the fuel used measurement.


13-7 Units setupDistance unitsOptions are nm (nautical miles), mi (statute miles)or km (kilometres).

Speed unitsOptions are kn (knots), mph (miles per hour) or kph(kilometres per hour).

Depth unitsOptions are ft (feet), fm (fathoms) or m (metres).

Time formatThe options are 24 hour or 12 hour.

Date formatThe options are dd/MMM/yy, MMM/dd/yy,dd/MM/yy or MM/dd/yy.

To enable the alarm, enter an anchor alarmdistance (up to 9.99 distance units). TheTRACKER saves the current boat position.To disable the alarm, set the anchor alarm toOff (0).

The minimum usable setting of the alarm isdetermined by the accuracy of the global positioningsystem, typically within 10 m (33 ft).

Warning: Do not rely on the anchor alarm asthe only anchor watch.

XTE alarmWhen the XTE alarm is enabled, an alarm will soundwhen the boat is navigating to a point and the distancefrom the boat to the plotted course (XTE) is morethan CDI (Course Deviation Indicator) scale (seeappendix C, CDI).

To enable the alarm, set the XTE alarm to On.To disable the alarm, set the XTE alarm to Off.

Danger alarmWhen the danger alarm is enabled, an alarm willsound when the boat comes within this distance of adanger waypoint.

To enable the alarm, enter an danger alarmdistance (up to 9.99 distance units).To disable the alarm, set the danger alarm toOff (0).

Low fuel alarmWhen the low fuel alarm is enabled, an alarm willsound when the fuel remaining in the tank is lessthan the low fuel value.

To enable the alarm, enter a low fuel value.To disable the alarm, set the low fuel value to Off.

3 Select Mode and set it to Normal or Demo.4 Select and enter the other data required for

simulate:Normal requires Speed and Heading.Demo requires Speed and Route.

14 Systems of several instrumentsSeveral NAVMAN instruments can be connectedtogether to share data. There are two ways ofconnecting instruments together, NavBus or NMEA.

NavBusNavBus is a NAVMAN proprietary system that allowssystems of multiple instruments to be built using asingle set of transducers. When instruments areconnected by NavBus:

If the units, alarms or calibration are changedin one instrument, then the values willautomatically change in all other instrumentsof the same type.

Each instrument can be assigned to a group ofinstruments (see section 13-8). If the backlightis changed in an instrument in group 1, 2, 3 or4 then the backlight will automatically changein the other instruments in the same group.

If the backlight is changed in an instrument ingroup 0 then no other instruments are affected.

If an alarm sounds, mute it by clearing thealarm on any instrument which can display thatalarm.

NavBus and the TRACKERThe TRACKER can display depth data if it isconnected to a depth instrument.

NMEANMEA is an industry standard, but is not as flexibleas NavBus as it requires dedicated connectionsbetween instruments. The TRACKER can:

Receive and display depth data.

Receive data from a GPS antenna.

Send GPS position and other navigation datato an autopilot or other instrument.

Display unit1 Find a suitable location for the display unit:

There are two mounting arrangements:Flush mounting requires a solid panelwith access behind for wiring and mountingscrews. Do not flush mount a TRACKER5500i or 5100i.Bracket mounting requires a panel formounting the bracket. The bracket can berotated and tilted.

Choose a location that is easily seen and notexposed to the direct sun or water. If possible,mount the display unit in front of the navigatoror to the left of the navigator because the LCDdisplay is more readable from these positions.Keep the unit away from any source ofelectrical signals or noise.For the TRACKER 5500i or 5100i, with theinternal GPS antenna:

The display unit must have a good view ofthe sky and horizon. The view should notbe blocked by large parts of thesuperstructure.The unit can be under glass, perspex,fibreglass or fabric, but not under metal orwood.Do not mount the unit within 3 m (10 ft) of aradio transmitter antenna or within 0.5 m(20") of the plane of a radar antenna.

2 For flush mounting:i Cut a hole in the bulkhead for the display

unit using the flush mount template.ii Drill four holes for the mounting studs

using the flush mount template.iii Screw the four studs into the brass inserts

in the back of the display unit.iv Sit the display unit in place and fit the

washers and nuts to the studs.For bracket mounting:i Hold the bracket in place and mark the

screw holes.ii Drill the screw holes and screw the bracket

in place with the screws provided. Do notovertighten the screws or the display unitmight not rotate.Do not fit the display unit yet.

GPS antennaThe TRACKER 5500 and 5100 require the suppliedexternal GPS antenna to be fitted.

Fit the antenna1 Find a suitable location for the antenna:

Mount the antenna with a good view of thesky and horizon. The view should not beblocked by large parts of thesuperstructure.The unit can be under glass, perspex,fibreglass or fabric, but not under metal orwood.Mount the antenna away from any sourceof electrical signals or noise. Do not mountthe antenna within 3 m (10 ft) of a radiotransmitter antenna or within 0.5 m (20") ofthe plane of a radar antenna.Do not fit the antenna too high, such as upa mast, or rocking will cause errors inspeed and bearing.Do not mount the antenna where it can beused as a hand hold, where it will interferewith the operation of the boat or where itmight be submerged.The maximum antenna cable length is15 m (49 ft).

If a location might not be suitable, follow theinstallation instructions below but mount theantenna and antenna cable temporarily,without drilling any fixing holes. If the systemdoes not work properly, change the antennalocation until it works properly. Then install theantenna and cable permanently.

2 Fit antenna in place.3 Run the cable between the antenna and the

display unit:Keep the cable away from sources ofelectrical signals or noise.Do not cut the antenna cable; if necessary,fit one 5 m (16 ft) extension cable.Do not crush or pinch the antenna cable.Secure the cable at regular intervals.

Optional fuel kitFit the fuel kit following the instructions that comewith the kit.

Installation of a DGPS antennaIn areas where satellite differential(WAAS/EGNOS)is not available an optional combined GPS/DGPSantenna may be connected for enhanced accuracywhen in range of conventional land based differentialbeacons. Please contact the nearest NAVMAN dealerfor further information.


Power/data cable for display unitWire the cable as shown on the next page.Note:

The unit requires 12 V DC power. This powersupply must be protected with a fuse or circuitbreaker of between 2 and 3 A. If it does nothave this, fit a 2 A fuse in the power supply line.

To enable auto power (see section 2-1),connect the yellow Power/data cable wire tothe positive power supply as shown.

To disable auto power, leave the wiredisconnected; make sure it can not touch anyother conductor.If the external beepers and lights require morethan 200 mA DC total, fit a relay.For information on how to connect NavBus, referto the NavBus Installation and Operation manual.

Setup and test1 Remove the dust covers from the connectors.2 Plug the eight way connectors into their

sockets on the back of the display unit:Match the colour on the end of theconnector to the colour of the nut on thesocket.Hold the plug against the socket and rotatethe plug until it slides into the socket.Lock the plug in place by pushing thelocking collar towards the socket andturning it a quarter turn clockwise.

Nothing will be damaged if a cable is pluggedinto the wrong socket by mistake.

3 If the unit has an external GPS antenna:Plug the gold connector into its socket onthe back of the display unit.Hand tighten the locking collar clockwise -do not overtighten.

4 If the display unit is bracket mounted:i Hold the display unit in place on the

mounting bracket shaft, with the rubberwasher clamped between the bracket andthe display unit.

ii Adjust the tilt and rotation of the display unitfor best viewing and hand tighten the knob.

5 Remove the dust cover. Turn the TRACKER on(see section 2-1).

Navigation dataThe boat is sailing from the start to the destination and has moved off the plotted course from the start to thedestination.

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 displaysshow a parallel line on either side of the plotted course. These twolines are called the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) lines. The distancefrom the plotted course to a CDI line is the CDI scale.

Set the CDI scale (see section 13-2) to the maximum distance that theboat should deviate from the plotted course. The chart and highwaydisplays show the CDI lines, which are like a highway over the waterwhere the boat will move. The displays show how far the boat hasdeviated from the plotted course and if the boat is approaching a CDIline. If the XTE alarm is enabled (see section 13-6) an alarm will soundif 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 sameas the boat speed through the water nor the speed at which it isapproaching 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 plottedcourse, L means steer to the left.

VMG Velocity Made Good The speed at which the boat is approaching the destination.
