GPS uses a constellation of 24 satellites that continually send radio signals to the
earth. Your position is determined by receiving signals from up to 12 satellites and
measuring the distance from the satellites to determine your present position.
Connecting the included GPS Receiver to your Matrix Fishing System allows you to
combine easy-to-use FishingGPS™ chartplotter and navigation capabilities with
advanced fishfinding. You'll enjoy the power of GPS to help you find those elusive
fishing spots and guide you home! The following GPS functionality is currently
supported by the Matrix when it is connected to the included GPS receiver:
• View current position
• View current track (breadcrumb trail)
• View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver
• Save tracks, waypoints and routes
• Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next.

In addition, if you have a Matrix 65, your unit
comes with a more detailed map of North America
(Domestic models) or Europe and Southeast Asia,
including Australia and New Zealand (Inter-
national models).
Your Matrix uses the GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat
automatically, and uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select the
best chart to display. See Viewing Cartography for more information.

Your Matrix also has a multi-media card (MMC) slot
that is used to insert optional-purchase cards
containing additional detailed maps. If you insert an
MMC that contains a better chart for a particular
location, your Matrix will retrieve that chart and
display it automatically. Use the illustration to locate
the position of the MMC slot cover, and use a Phillips
head screwdriver to remove the MMC slot cover,
then insert the MMC into the slot. The label on the
MMC should face toward the front of the unit. Press
down on the card until it clicks into place.
