AvMap ekp iii c User Manual

If you have not used a GPS Charting System before and intend to use your EKP-III for navigat-

ing, we suggest that you read this User Manual and make sure you are familiar with its contents.

Throughout this User Manual, the keys are shown in capital letters enclosed between

single inverted commas, for example ‘MENU’.

Menu operations are in bold characters listed by keys sequence with the menu names

enclosed between quotes, for example ‘MENU’ 1 sec. + “SYSTEM SETUP” + ‘ENTER’

+ “FIX SETUP” + ‘ENTER’ means: press and hold down the ‘MENU’ key for 1 second,

using the cursor keys selects the System Setup menu, press ‘ENTER’, using the cursor keys

selects the Fix Setup menu and then press ‘ENTER’.

Terms underlined, for example Waypoint, are explained in Appendix A “Terms”.

This electronic charting system integrates the remarkable accuracy of a GPS receiver with a

detailed moving map into a single, easy-to-use, computerized electronic map system. Designed

as a sophisticated navigation information center, the features of the EKP-III allow the user to

Track information and navigate to points of interest.

Equipped with  C-MAP NT+cartography, the EKP-III system can be used either with

a C-MAP NT+ C-CARD (data card) or as a Track plotter using the internal background map.

The EKP-III can be connected to an external GPS or position receiver via a data cable

providing an NMEA0183 data string. Connections to an external receiver, device or  an exter-

nal antenna are made quickly and easily while in the cockpit (see Chapter 15).

The EKP-III contains built-in cartography with coastlines, names of countries, major

cities, highways, lakes and rivers. Additional street, lake and river detail, which enhances the

internal data, can be obtained with C-MAP Aviation’s regional terrestrial library.

When the package containing the EKP-III is first opened, please check it for the fol-

lowing contents (if any parts are missing contact the dealer where you purchased the EKP-III):
