Field Reference for the Garmin Montana 600, 650 and 650t GPS Layout Receiver Operation Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) Receiver Setup The Main Menu is the first set of icons visible upon startup - is customizable. For GPS setup, open the drawer and tap Setup. GPS Touchscreen Icons Info Main Menu Datum and Position Format Waypoint Naming Suggestions AS Accident SiteMP Milepost BR BridgeMV Medivac Site CA CampOP Observation Point DB Division Break PR Protected Resource DP Drop PointRH Rehab Site DL Dozer LineRJ Road Junction FL Fire LineRS Radio Site FO Fire Origin SA Staging Area GT GateSC Stream Crossing HA HazardSF Spot Fire HB HelibaseST Structure HS HelispotSZ Safety Zone IC ICPWS Water Source IR Infrared Hotspot Example: “DBXY” = X – Y Division Break Download a new almanac if GPS receiver has been moved more than 300 miles while turned off OR if off for a couple of weeks. Turn receiver on and place in location with clear view of sky, allow 15 minutes for download. The almanac is automatically updated whenever the receiver is in use. Download Almanac Customize Main Menu Adding frequently used Apps to the Main Menu can provide a more efficient use. The Main Menu will hold 9 icons with App names or 16 icons without App names. Some suggested Apps to add to the Main Menu are: Profiles Profiles are a collection of settings that optimize your device based on how you are using it. Set up one profile for mapping and another for navigation. Any changes to profiles should be made before taking to the field. To change profiles, open the App Drawer and select the Profile Change icon. Recreation Profile Tracks Setup menu. Add thru Setup, Main Menu, Add Item Here, Setup, Tracks. Area Calculation. Add thru App Drawer by tap and hold on the icon, then drag to the Main menu. Track Log On shortcut. Add thru Setup, Shortcuts, Track Log On, Add To Menu, Main Menu. The Main Menu also has extra pages to the left and right of the main page. Track Log Off shortcut. Add thru Setup, Shortcuts, Track Log Off, Add To Menu, Main Menu. Track Manager menu. Add thru App Drawer by tap and hold on the icon, then drag to the Main menu. Waypoint Manager menu. Add thru App Drawer by tap and hold on the icon, then drag to the Main menu. The Dashboard can be changed thru Setup, Main Menu, tap menu, Change Dashboards, make selection. Position Format should be set to the communication format for the incident. For Latitude and Longitude options are: Degrees Minutes Seconds (DMS) hddd°mm’ss.s” Decimal Minutes (DM) hddd°mm.mmm’ Decimal Degrees (DD) (rarely used) hddd.ddddd° The federal datum standard for geospatial data is North American Datum 1983 (NAD83). The position format and datum should be set to match the communication used on the incident, typically Degrees,Minutes,Seconds (hddd°mm’ss.s”), NAD83 datum or Degrees,Decimal Minutes (hddd°mm.mmm’), WGS 84 datum when working with air resources. But… If using GPS receiver with a paper map, set receiver datum to match map datum. Possibly NAD27! If hand entering waypoints from other sources, (e.g., GIS, air resources) change coordinate system format and datum to match before creating points. WAAS improves accuracy of GPS positions but relies on direct line of sight to one of two geostationary satellites. Ensure GPS is held upright to maximize view of southern sky.

from list in Waypoint Manager. With the Waypoint information page displayed, press MENU. Select Average Location and press Save. Averaging begins automatically. Press Save after at least 30 counts. Note: Always average waypoints to increase accuracy. Positions will be averaged into a single waypoint. Average Position of Waypoint Collect New Waypoint Select the Mark Waypoint icon. Select Edit to change the name of the waypoint and/or add notes. Select Save to store the new waypoint. Select the Mark Waypoint icon to create a new waypoint. Select Edit and press the menu icon. Select Average Location. Press Save after 30 or more seconds. The higher the Sample Confidence is, the better the location will be. Press Save. To average an existing waypoint, select waypoint Track Log Setup Go to Setup and select Tracks. Turn Track Log Off if it is on. Go to Track Manager, select Current Track and press Clear Current Track. Suggested logging rates (based on speed of travel): Helicopter: 1-2 second interval. Walking: 3-5 second interval. Vehicle: 2-3 second interval. Logging interval may be changed during mission. The track log will automatically start and always collect positions as long as the track log option is turned on. To set data collection parameters select Setup, and select Tracks. Set Record Method to Time and Interval based on method of travel during data collection (1-5 sec). Set Auto Archive to When Full. Collecting Lines and Polygons Saving the Current Track Log can be done for area calculation, but Current Track Log should be used for download to GIS. Collect line and polygon features using the “Active” Track Log by turning it On (Record, Show On Map). To pause logging either during the same track log or between different track log segments, set Track Log to Off (Do Not Record). When collecting polygons, turn Track Log Off just shy of starting point. Overlap causes GIS issues and miscalculates area if you save track log. Area Calculation The Federal datum standard for geospatial data is NAD83. When reporting position of Lat/Long in degrees minutes seconds, degree decimal minutes, or decimal degrees, include all decimal places available to improve precision. Briefing Plan mission to achieve the objectives. Are mission logistics defined to execute and complete the mission? Delivered GPS data or product format is understood. Equipment Select appropriate GPS receiver for the mission. Use an external antenna whenever possible. Adequate batteries or power source. Paper map and compass. Notebook and pencils. GPS metadata form. Prepare GPS receiver Set datum and coordinate system to NWCG (see above) or incident standard. Update receiver almanac for the local area. Download and delete old waypoints, active log and saved tracks if not needed to clear memory. Set up Track Log collection interval based on method of travel and speed, and size of area to be mapped. Check wires, connections and power source. Verify all GPS settings are correct prior to mission. Aerial mapping mission Brief pilot on mission prior to takeoff. Ensure reliable external antenna connection. Carry spare GPS receiver and extra batteries as backup. Mission Checklist Select Area Calculation to map a polygon and save in current track. Tap Start to begin mapping the perimeter. Tap Calculate to end and view the measurement. Select Save Track to save. You can open a Saved Track from the Tracks Manager, to edit the name or view area or perimeter measurements. Area format can be changed (select “ac” for acres).
