How GPS Works
Your Matrix Fishing System uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and
provide detailed underwater information. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite
navigation system designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally
intended for military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position
capabilities, typically within +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the
time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 10 meters of your actual position. The GR4 GPS
Receiver can use information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the
European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation
System) satellites if they are available in your area.
GPS uses a constellation of satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. Your present
position is determined by receiving signals from up to 12 satellites and measuring the distance from
the satellites.
The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the Matrix Fishing System when it is
connected to a GPS receiver:
• View current position
• View current track (breadcrumb trail)
• View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver
• Save tracks and waypoints
• Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next.
