The new SATELLITE NAVI PAT2GP-1V uses the constellation of GPS satellites that ring the globe to tell you your current location.  The watch employs a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery and high-density device mounting to create a new SATELLITE NAVI watch that is even more compact and lightweight than the original GPS first created by Casio last year.

The PAT2GP-1V comes bundled with special PC linking software that lets you plot and manage GPS data from the watch on your personal computer. The PC link software allows the user to import and display raster map images (BMP or JPEG) on a computer. It also allows the user to plot a starting point, waypoints, and final destination on the computer screen, and transfer the route plan to the SATELLITE NAVI. The SATELLITE NAVI allows the user to monitor current position on the SATELLITE NAVI screen, using defined waypoints, and even keep track of the distance remaining to the destination and the current bearing. Track points of movements are stored automatically in SATELLITE NAVI memory, allowing the user to transfer the track points back to the computer and track the route on the screen and even store the information for future reference or route planning.

Special Features

• GPS*1 Current Position Measurement
  The new SATELLITE NAVI has a 12-channel receiver that can receive signals from as many as 12 at least three GPS satellites to calculate and display the latitude and longitude of your current position. Positions are displayed in values indicating latitude (N or S degrees, minutes, seconds) and longitude (E or W degrees, minutes, seconds), which you can use to plot your location on a map. A simple operation changes the position information to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)*2 coordinates. 
  *1 GPS
  The letters "GPS" stand for "Global Positioning System," a system of 27 artificial satellites and Earth base stations developed by the United States.
  *2 UTM
  The letters "UTM" stand for "Universal Transverse Mercator," which is a standardized coordinate system based on the metric system that divides the earth into 60 six-degree wide zones. Each zone is projected onto a Transverse Mercator projection and coordinate origins are located systematically.
• Almanac Data for Quick Results
  Almanac data received from satellites is stored in the watch's EEPROM. Almanac data is used in combination with the watch’s city code setting and the current time to predict which satellites are currently overhead, which makes it possible to produce readings in as quickly as 12 seconds.
• GPS Altitude Measurement*
  SATELLITE NAVI performs 3D measurement whenever it is able to access data from four or more satellites. In addition to latitude and longitude, 3D measurement also lets you see your current altitude. Past altitude measurements can be viewed on a graph that shows your changes in altitude over time.
  * Altitude measurement
  Precision for GPS altitude measurements may be less than that for position measurements.
• Three GPS Measurement Modes
  A choice of three GPS measurement modes provides flexibility to meet a variety of measurement needs. The One Shot mode takes a reading whenever you press a button, Auto Mode takes readings are a preset interval (selectable in the range of 10 seconds to 60 minutes), and the Continuous Mode takes readings every second.

Navigation 

• Plot Screen
  The plot screen shows your current location in relation to up to 10 waypoints you have registered in your route plan. You can zoom the plot screen to the scale that makes it possible for your current position and waypoints to appear on the same screen. In addition to your current position, you can also view track points that indicate your movement in relation to waypoints and your destination. 
• Graphical Navigation Screen
  The Graphical Navigation Screen graphically indicates the direction and distance to a destination (latitude and longitude) registered by you. This screen is great when hiking mountain climbing when you need to know the direction and distance you need to go to get to base camp a lodge, or other location. Data can also be displayed numerically, if you want. When you are using the continuous GPS measurement mode, the graphical navigation screen can also be used to display your heading, current speed, and maximum speed. 
• Landmark Memory and Track Log Memory
  Landmark Memory lets you store records for up to 200 locations you need to remember for instant recall when you want to incorporate them into a route plan. The watch comes preset with 100 landmark records that you can use or replace with your own data, if you want.
  Track Log Memory stores up to 400 track point records that show your location as you travel. You can recall these records when you want to trace your movements on the Plot Screen. 
• Arrival Alarm
  You can specify a distance at which the watch beeps to let you know when you are approaching your destination.

PC Linking

• PC-based Data Input and Management
  A special attachment that is bundled with SATELLITE NAVI makes it possible to connect a serial cable that links the watch to a computer for quick and easy data exchange. You can use the PC link software that comes bundled with the Watch to import and display raster map images (BMP or JPEG) on your computer. GPS data can be exported as a CSV or TXT format file for long term storage or porting to another application.
• Landmark Data: Landmark name, latitude and longitude, icons can be transferred between the watch and your computer.
• Route Plan Data: You can create and store route plans on your computer and transfer them to the watch as required.
• Track Point Data: You can transfer track point records (date, time, latitude, longitude) created by the watch to your computer for data management.

Other Features

• Rechargeable Battery for a More Compact Configuration
  The compact, water-resistant design of the new SATELLITE NAVI is made possible by a built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery. The watch comes with a charger attachment that you can use for recharging outdoors, using power supplied by six AAA-size batteries. A full charge provides enough power for approximately 140 one-shot mode measurements, 3.5 hours of auto mode measurements (with 1-minute interval), or 70 minutes of continuous mode measurements.
• Multi-windowing
  Multi-windowing makes it possible to view different types of data on the same screen. For example, you could display the current time along with your current position, the direction pointer to your destination along with your current position, or any other of 17 possible combinations.
• Auto Time Adjustment
  Each time a successful position measurement is achieved, the watch uses time data included in the information is receives from the GPS satellites to automatically adjust the hour, minutes, and seconds of the Timekeeping Mode.
