GUIDE
WHY ANYWHERE MAP?
Aviation’s road is paved with milestones beginning with flying machines in
Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks and continuing on to the Industrial
Revolution and its ground fire of determination to master the air.
The mission of Anywhere Map is air safety—to use the most advanced tools
at our disposal to deliver the highest degree of Situation Awareness to a
pilot using a natural and intuitive interface.The underlying principle has
always been simplicity—if the tool is logical and within reach,it is likely to be
used.
Anywhere Map is the result of making an appliance out of an integrated
suite of complex instruments. Control Vision’s milestone has been to make all
this affordable and the skills needed, attainable.
Control Vision represents both technological achievement and a process. The
achievements are the family of aviation products relied on by thousands of
pilots. The process is a dedication to invention and refinement that continues
day in and day out.
In the following pages, we introduce you to a new yet familiar way to manage flight. Study the text and use the accompanying CD as you explore more
and more of Anywhere Map. Remember to check our web site, www.anywheremap.com, for updates to the manual as well as for the program and
new products.

Anywhere Map
Introduction:
nywhere Map is a powerful, intuitive software system designed to
deliver unmatched levels of Situational Awareness to assist pilots in
maintaining an ongoing understanding of the aircraft’s current location relative to airports, airways, airspace, topography, obstacles and
Navaids.
When this software is combined with a suitable Pocket PC (or Windows
CE) computer (PDA), and a suitable Global Positioning System (GPS)
receiver, the result is a color moving map system that makes accurate situation awareness an effortless part of the pilot’s overall workload.
A
NOTICE
The Anywhere Map system is intended as an aid to enhance, but not be the
sole or primary means of, navigation. The Anywhere Map software has not
been evaluated or approved for use in aircraft by any governmental entit y.
The user assumes full responsibility for the use of this equipment and the safe
operation of the aircraft at all times.
Anywhere Map was developed using DAFIF®, a product of the National
Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA).Anywhere Map has not been endorsed
or otherwise approved by NIMA,or the United States Department of Defense
(10USC §425).
Terminology
The manual uses terms such as Pocket PC or PDA to refer to hand-held
computers such as the Compaq iPAQ® or Casio Cassiopeia® that use the
Pocket PC or Windows CE operating system. Desktop or laptop Windows
computers are referred to as PC or the Desktop Computer. The terms Pocket
PC, Windows CE computer and PDA are interchangeable.
Throughout the text, references to Windows-style menus and selection items
are depicted as File >Display Features >Airport: Elev. ICAO… File refers to the
File menu; Display Features is a selectable menu item. Airport is a selectable
tab within Display Features ; Elev., and ICAO are checkbox items on the
Airport tab. Exiting a screen always returns you to either the previous screen
or the Anywhere Map.
Just as you click and double-click with your PC’s mouse, you tap or double-tap items on the screen of the PDA with the enclosed stylus.
Hardware Requirements

Note: You will require internet access to complete this automated process. If you do not
have internet service, call Technical Support at 620 231-9748 for assistance in obtaining a Username and Password.
If you purchased your PDA from Control Vision, Anywhere Map has been
pre-installed for you. You may skip this section and continue on with the software tutorial. Installation requires the Anywhere Map (or Anywhere WX)
Installation CD that comes with all new systems. Future upgrades of the
software will be based upon installations made directly from this CD.
■ You are going to establish a link between your PDA and your desktop PC
using the docking cradle or the USB cable included and a Microsoft utility called Active Sync that comes with all Pocket PC systems. If you cannot
locate this CD, you can download the utility from Microsoft’s web site.
Installation consists of two steps: Registration and Installation. When you
complete registration you receive a Username and Password in an e-mail.
These are necessary to move on to the installation.
1. Install Active Sync on your PC from the utility CD provided.
2. Carefully insert the PDA into its docking station and turn it on.
3. Connect the docking station with the PC using the USB cable provided
or the alternate RS232 serial connector.
4. Be sure Active Sync is launched on your PC. The PDA and computer
should “connect” with a graphical dialog reporting Connected.
5. Insert the Anywhere Map CD into the PC’s drive. The screen below
appears. Spend a few minutes reviewing the Installation Guide.

Tips For Gaining System Speed
To maximize Anywhere Map’s performance here are several operational tips:
• Perform a Soft Reset before launching Anywhere Map. On the bottom right
of the iPAQ,there is a small hole in the case. (See picture on page 16) Insert the
stylus and press quickly. This restarts the Pocket PC shutting down all previously opened programs and clearing the memory to allocate the most available to
Anywhere Map. Check the documentation of other PDAs for Reset location.
• Shut off theInfrared Beam utility in the Pocket PC. Go to Start > Settings >
Connections. Tap on the Beam icon and uncheck the Receiving box.
• Shut down Today functions. Go to Start > Settings > Today. Tap the Today
icon and in the screen that appears , tap the Items tab. Uncheck all the features
for the most performance gain.
• Disable Holds in Anywhere Map. Go to File > Display Features. At the bottom of the left column,uncheck Holds if checked.
Connecting the GPS
Anywhere Map connects to a variety of GPS sources. If you
are using the Garmin 35 as your GPS, it attaches directly
to the PDA via the power/data cable. The PDA should be
secured before you attach the cable to minimize risk of
damaging the connector. The SatPack attaches the same way (also using a
Garmin 35). The Anywere Sentinel® requires a Compact Flash sleeve if you
are using an iPAQ, and plugs directly into the built-in CF slot in a Dell
Axim. For connecting any other GPS, follow the connection notes enclosed
with the system. Remember that the Garmin 35 requires external power to
be recognized by and supply GPS data to the Pocket PC. The Sentinel
derives power directly from

Auto GPS Setup
Anywhere Map configures itself automatically to all GPS units offered by
Control Vision: the Garmin 35, AI Module, SatPack, and Sentinel. When
the GPS is connected and powered, and Anywhere Map starts, you are likely to see NoGPS displayed prominently. This
means that the GPS has not been detected by
Anywhere Map or no serial port is available.
Double-tap NoGPS. In the GPS selection screen
that follows, tap the name of the device being
used, then tap ok or CLOSE.
When the map screen reappears, a new message
is displayed, NoSAT, indicating that Anywhere
Map and the GPS are communicating and
awaiting satellite data.
When the receiver tracks at least 3 satellites, the
map can display Lat/ long position. Tracking 4
or more satellites
provides altitude.
The Auto GPS
setup procedure is
the same for a
Garmin 35 system,
except that you tap
GPS35/NMEA to
select the proper
GPS.
Manual GPS Setup
The Com (port) and Data Rate selection process described above can be performed manually if necessary through the GPS Settings screen. This may be
necessary in versions of the software earlier than System 1.35b, or in configuring Anywhere Map to work with a GPS not listed in the GPS Selection
screen or for certain types of PDA.
Go to File > Settings > GPS Settings. For most hand-held GPS receivers, set
the data rate at the default 4800 baud. Most panel-mount systems can be set
to 9600 bps. A Bluetooth GPS may require setting the rate at 19200 bps.
Refer to the GPS Com Port Settings table (left) and, using the drop-down
menu, select a port for your GPS. Tap ok.
Control Vision
Page 13
When using an Anywhere Map GPS kit, connect the terminal cable with the
socket at the base of the Pocket PC, and plug the Integration Module into
a cigarette lighter or auxiliary battery pack. Watch for illumination of the
power indicator on the Pocket PC, and the red LED on the power adapter.
It can take from a few seconds to several minutes for the GPS to lock onto
satellites. The antenna or GPS unit needs a view of southern sky. With the
GPS connected and the program running, the message NoSAT should initially appear in the upper right corner of the screen indicating that the GPS
has not “acquired” any satellites. If NoCOM appears on the screen in place of
the ground speed this indicates a hardware conflict exists in your Pocket PC.
Review the procedures and check to see that the cable is secure.
If you are having trouble with the GPS, see the Troubleshooting Guide
located on page 30.
Refer to the table and selec t
your GPS port setting from the
drop-down menu and check the
appropriate Data Rate…
Go to GPS Settings in the File
menu.

Flight Plans For Dummies
Flight Plans are generally straight lines
between waypoints. The simplest plan is a
single leg between two airports.
Let’s start at Pittsburg, KS and fly direct to
Fort Scott, also in KS. Connected to its GPS,
Anywhere Map would display your present
location on the map. Setting a course would
be a matter of picking a destination. In simulation, there is no GPS so we will start at
KPTS by jumping there first and then flying
to a destination.
1. Tap on the Airport Search tool. In the
search screen that appears…
2. Type in PTS (not KPTS).
3. Tap Find It. You are taken to the Airport
Information screen of PTS, Atkinson
Municipal, or Pittsburg as it is referred to on
the radio. All airports have information
screens.
4. Now tap JUMP TO. This “transports” you to
PTS displaying it on a terrain map. Remember
that this first step isn’t necessary with a GPS
connected.
Let’s build a flight plan to Fort Scott.
5. Tap the Airport Search button again and
this time, type Fort Scott into the box City or

6. Tap Find It. A window opens with a very short
list of airports named Fort Scott.
7. Tap one, then tap VIEW INFO.
8. When Fort Scott’s Airport Information
Screen appears, tap WPT / FLY TO at the bottom
right. The map that appears displays a thick
green line representing the course. At the bottom of the map the ETE/ETA is blank because we
aren’t moving (simulation, remember?), but a
bearing of 352 and a range of 21.1 nm are
shown. Congratulations on making your first
flight plan!
Let’s save it for the next time you’re in Pittsburg
(or Fort Scott—flight plans are reversible). Tap
the File menu. Now tap Flight Plan. A window
opens displaying your new flight plan complete
with leg distance, wind, ETE and fuel requirements (more about that later). Below, tap the
SAVE button. In the Flight Plan list, tap in the

■ Expect the Dallas area to be crowded.
While you’re in the ADS screen, it’s a
good idea to extend runway centerlines by checking XtndCL in the box
provided.
■ In the ADS airport screen, press
WPT/FLY TO. This creates a
Direct-To flight plan from
JLN to ADS. This is a single
leg flight plan direct from Joplin, MO,
(or current location) to Addison, TX.
On the main map screen, notice the display of time, range and bearing to
ADS from the current location ( JLN). Since the aircraft is not moving at this
time, the Time to Waypoint “ W” is not shown.
■ Add an intermediate waypoint. Let’s fly by way of the McAlester,

button
, and enter McAlester’s
identifier, MLC. Press FIND. When
McAlester’s screen appears, tap WAYPOINT/FLY TO. A second screen
appears. Since we’re not flying direct
to MLC or making it the final destination, tap as a Waypoint to place it
logically in the flight plan. You could
also have used As next Waypoint.
Double-tap on the notation at the top of
the screen, ADS[1/2] to review the flight

is ADS and that you are on leg 1 of 2 currently in the flight plan.
In the Flight Plan screen below, note that the
manifest shows us proceeding from KJLN to
nMLC (Navaid) to KADS. It gives the range of
each leg [151.6], [124.5], and the true course
(CRS) to fly [204], [204]. Earlier we profiled
the aircraft in Aircraft Settings and entered cruise speed and fuel consumption. Note the estimates of each leg’s ETE plus fuel requirements. (Change
these values at any time and the Flight Plan will
update automatically.)
Double-tapping on any item in the Flight
Plan—Navaid, User-Waypoint, Fix or
Airport—pops up the data box for that item.
To alter a flight plan’s sequence, tap on a leg to
highlight it in the list. Press the Move Up or
Move Dn button to shift it up or down in the sequence. In most cases the
waypoint buttons will correctly sequence the flight plan waypoints. This feature is needed only when the flight plan is unusual in some way.

Simulation
In Simulation Mode, Heading is controlled by rocking the Hat Switch left
or right. If the gray track line is left of
the green course line, press the switch
to the right to adjust.
■ To begin simulation, go to File >

of 250 knots, and tap Start.
The map’s heading defaults to the first
leg of the flight plan, and the aircraft
departs JLN, (provided you haven’t
changed the map’s current location. If
you have, double-tap on JLN in the
flight plan and tap JUMP TO.) The course line is green, the track is gray. You
steer by pressing the left or right side of the Hat Switch. The system provides
guidance to the first waypoint, showing the range, bearing, and time to waypoint across the bottom of the screen. As each waypoint is passed, guidance
begins to the next waypoint. The aircraft may simply be flown along the

Anywhere Map’s Flight Calculator is a powerful instrument that helps you
check Density Altitude, True Air Speed and Winds Aloft in flight.
■ Select File > Flight Calculations. The screen
initially contains data that the system is aware
of. Anywhere Map uses GPS derived altitude,
however you may enter altitude directly from
your altimeter. Enter Outside Air
Temperature (OAT) in degrees Celsius, and tap
Density ALT. Once Anywhere Map knows the
density altitude, entering Indicated Air Speed,
IAS, instantly displays True Airspeed, TAS.
When you provide the magnetic heading, tap
Winds to compute Winds Aloft from GPSderived track and ground speed along with the
True Airspeed. See Chapter 2 for a thorough
discussion of Flight Calculations.
Periodically, the reminder SWITCH FUEL TANKS blinks on to prompt you
to balance the fuel load . Recall that we set the interval in File>

■ Nearing the destination, the BEGIN DESCENT reminder blinks on when
the recommended vertical descent rate equals or exceeds 500 feet per
minute (VNav=500). Following this descent profile results in reaching the
airport at 1000 feet AGL, near pattern altitude at most fields. The View
menu offers magnifications selectable from the menu or by rocking the
Hat Switch. Setting the display to Auto-Zoom, enlarges the detail as the
aircraft nears the destination. Disable this feature by de-selecting AutoZoom. (See illustration on next page)

File > Reminders: Begin Descent at VNAV=500FPM
Anywhere Map anticipates you will begin a 500 fpm descent (A) to your destination,arriving
at 1000 ft. AGL,pattern altitude at most airports. If you fly beyond the starting point of this
descent profile, you will need a higher rate of descent (B). Anywhere Map alerts you when
you have passed the 500 fpm profile and displays the increased descent rate.

Fixes, select it and tap NEXT WP. You could also look it up by tapping Find
VOR/FIX, and entering BRONS in the identifier box.
■ Now our flight plan reflects this last minute change. The Direct-To list also
includes all the points in our current flight plan, so we may easily skip
waypoints in one step as well. As the aircraft is maneuvered to the final
destination, we are kept aware of the proximity of numerous tall towers.
■ If you fly too close to a tall tower, the OBSTACLE AHEAD warning will
appear (Obstacles must be activated in File > Reminders > Obstacle Ahead
Warning.) Only structures that rise within 500 feet of the aircraft’s altitude
and are greater than 400 ft. AGL create alerts.
■ Nearing the LOM, another reminder, CHECK FUEL PUMP automatically
comes on at 1,000 ft. AGL.
■ As the aircraft descends through 600 ft. AGL, CHECK LANDING GEAR
appears, reflecting values you programmed earlier.

When you land, the Flight Timer stops counting as soon as the aircraft slows,
holding this flight time to shut-down.
After a flight, log it by double tapping on the timer block in the display. Tap
Log Last Flight to call up the logbook screen which already knows the aircraft tail number, type, date of flight, and flight duration. Allocate the flight
time between day and night, and IFR and VFR conditions of flight, and
press RECORD. This data is now saved to the memory of the PDA and may
later be transferred to your desktop computer to be printed and stored.

GPS TROUBLESHOOTING
If your map doesn’t show Groundspeed (probably 0 kts if you are not moving) in the upper
right corner of the screen,there is likely a connection or communication problem with your
GPS. The diagnostic messages NoSAT, NoGPS, NoCOM may be displayed instead of the
Groundspeed in this location.
1. NoSAT - The software is receiving GPS data but the GPS has not “acquired” any satellites.
Place the GPS in a location where it has a clear view of the southern sky. If you are using the
Sentinel, consider attaching the external antenna. Normally the GPS will “acquire” a fix in well
under a minute. Many GPS units can take se veral minutes to acquire the first time they are
used. Allow up to 15 minutes before worrying. It can also take several minutes to acquire if
the unit has not been used for a few weeks. If you have a plug-in GPS from Conrol Vision,or
a GPS35,and it says NoSAT, be sure that the GPS is connected to a good power source, confirm that the LED on the power adapter body is steadily illuminated and not flickering.
2. NoGPS - Means that the software is NOT receiving GPS data,and usually indicates that:
1.the GPS is disconnected, or
2.the GPS is not getting power, or
3.the software is looking for the wrong kind of GPS.
First check the cables, power and connections. Double-tap on the NoGPS message to call up
the GPS selection screen. Select from a short list of the most common devices. If you change
GPS units, you will probably need to visit this screen to adjust settings before it will work.
3. NoCOM - Means that the software cannot connect to the computer serial port that has
been specified for the selected GPS. This error will usually be accompanied by a warning
message saying something like “COM2 Unavailable…” Common causes for this message
are:
1. Trying to use the wrong kind of GPS (see NoGPS above)
2. Trying to use a Sentinel GPS that is not plugged into the PDA at the moment.
3.Trying to use the serial port while another application on the Pocket PC has “locked” the
port. There are three common causes of this condition:
a. Detachable add-on keyboard drivers will often lock this port, even if the keyboard is not
connected at the moment. Most of these can be disabled in the keyboard settings
screen.
b. If you connect your PDA to your desktop PC using a SERIAL connection instead of the
USB connection, ActiveSync will lock the serial port that is normally used by Anywhere
Map when the PDA is docked to the desktop PC.
c. Occasionally there may be two copies of Anywhere Map running on the PDA. Try a File >
Exit from Anywhere Map, then go to the Start menu: Settings > Memory > Running
Programs, and tap Stop ALL, or do a soft reset of the PDA.
d. the Pocket PC operating system on the PDA has “lost” the port. If this happens, you must
perform a soft reset on the Pocket PC prior to using Anywhere Map.
If you think you have resolved the problem,double-tap on the NoCOM message and press
CHECK PORT in this screen. If you suspect problem number 1 ab ove, press CHOOSE GPS
and select the correct GPS.
