The most important thing to us is to be sure that you are completely satisfed with your SporTrak and the accompanying documentation. If you have any ideas, suggestions or even a complaint, please pass them along to us through our web site (wwwmagellangps.com) or by mail. Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver

Setting Up the SperTrak Setting up the SporTrak is a simple three-step proces installing the batteries, selecting the language to be used and initializing the Sporlrak. Installing the Batteries The Magellan Spor Trak uses two AA batteries that are installed from the back through the battery cover. You can expect to get up to 15 hours of usage on two AA batteries with the backlight turned off. To remove the battery compartment, loosen the retaining screw at the bottom of the battery compartment. The battery compartment will come free from the Spor Trak and you can slide it out. Install two AA batteries observing the correct polarity. Slide the battery compartment back into the SporTrak and tighten the retaining screw. Do not overtighten the retaining screw. memory with the batteries removed. Present position and time data is not stored in permanent memory but will be held in memory for How much time do I have to replace the batteries? Any waypoints or routes you have created are stored in permanent at least 12 hours without batteries installed. w Always turn the SporTrak off before removing the batteries < or turning off external power. Failure to do so can cause loss or corruption of data. Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver

Selecting Language The first time you use your SporTrak (or if memory has been completely erased) you will be asked to select the language that you want to use. Use the UP/DOWN arrows on the keypad to highlight the language you desire. With the language highlighted, press the ENTER button. You can select English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Finnish, Dutch or Swedish. You can change the language at any time by accessing the Languages option ofthe Setup Menu. (See Changing Languages in the Reference Section of the User Manual.) Initialization for First Time Use The final step in setting up the SporTrak is to initialize the receiver for first-time use. This will help your SporTrak begin computing your position in the fastest manner possible. The reason for initialization is to speed up the process for computing the first position fix when the SporTrak has no last position computed in memory (ie., when the SporTiak is brand new or memory has been cleared). This gives the Spor Trak an approximate indication of where it is located so it can use its satellite almanac (stored in permanent memory) to estimate what satellites are overhead and which ones it should be looking for. Follow these instructions to initialize the Spor Irak. Turning the Spor Trak On Press @ (PWR] The SporTrak turns on and displays the start-up screen and a warning screen.

This allows the SporTiak to choose from all satellites currently available. IF che view of the sky is poor due to large cliffs or buildings, heavy foliage or other obstructions, the satellite signals can be blocked and the receiver may take longer to compute a position fix. You can observe the signal strength and the satellites being used on the Satellite Status screen (described in the next section). Holding the SporTrak. The receiver is designed to fit comfortably in your hand. Hold the SporTrak in the palm of your hand with the antenna pointing towards the sky. Navigational Screens The Spor Trak has seven navigation screens: Map screen, Compass screen, Large Data screen, two Position screens, Road screen, and Sat Status screen. They will be described briefly here. More detailed information on the different screens can be found in the Reference chapter of the User Manual. Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver

Map Screen The Map screen has two modes, position or cursor. In the position mode, your present position is indicated by the large arrow icon in the center of the display. If you are moving, the arrow will point in the direction that you are heading. At the bottom of the screen is the scale for the map displayed and two data fields that can be customized, or turned off, depending upon your needs. In the Cursor Mode, you are provided with a cursor that can be moved on the map. At the bottom of the display is the information for the position of the cursor relative to your present position. Also any points of interest that the cursor is over will be shown. To access the Cursor Mode, press any arrow on the keypad. A crosshair appears that can be moved with the arrow keys. To return to the Position Mode, press [@) [ESC]. The cursor will disappear and the present position icon will appear centered on the map. ER Compass Screen. This is a handy screen to have at your fingertips while you are navigating. It is totally customizable to display the information that is useful to you. The lower portion of the Compass screen not only displays your heading in a graphical manner, but also displays the relationship of the sun, moon and your destination (if navigating on a route) to your heading. Large Data Screen. The Large Data screen is similar to the Compass screen but here the compass has been removed to allow for large display of the navigation data. Ideal for when you have your SporTrak mounted on the dashboard of a boat using the optional swivel mounting bracket. Even from a distance the information can be read with ease. Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver

Position Screens. The Position screens 1 and 2 display your present position using the coordinate systems that you have selected in Setup. This screen shows all of the basic position, time and satellite information. In addition, ECS CT current navigation information is shown in the bottom half ThOrder of the screen. 1736" Road Screen. The Road screen presents your route as if you were travelling on a road. When you need to make à turn, the road will graphically display the turn and the direction. Waypoint and destination icons will be displayed relative to your position as they come into view. Above the road is a compass that displays your heading and above that are four customizable data fields. [NW 61] Satellite Status Screen. The Sat Status screen provides GO you with a graphical display of the satellites in view and Le a ÿ which ones are being used to compure the navigation Ts data. The bar graph shows you the relative signal Hit — strengrh being received for each satellite. Ar che bottom of the display is an indication of the battery life [eo mn] remaining, When you are using external power, it will be indicated here as well. Accessing the NAV Screens. From any screen other than a navigation screen, pressing (£) INAV] returns you to the last navigation screen viewed. Note that if you are inputting data, pressing (Æ INAVI will return you to the last navigation screen but your inputs will not be saved. Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver

Saving a Waypoint A waypoint is a point on à map that you can name and save in the SporTrak. They are primarily used for creating routes. Whether the route is a simple GOTO or a more complex multileg route, it needs stored waypoints to use as its starting and destination point. Saving a Waypoint with a Receiver-Generated Name From any screen, press 2) [MENU]. Use che arrows to highlighe “Mark” and press © [ENTER]. The “Save” button is highlighted and you can press © [ENTER] to save the waypoint using the default name and icon. You can later go back and edit any of the waypoint information through the Database Menu or you can change the information now following the guidelines below. (See Waypoints in the Reference chapter of the User Manual.) Saving a Waypoint with a User-Input Icon and Name From any screen, press 3) [MENU]. Use the arrows to highlight “Mark” and press © [ENTER]... Use the UP/DOWN arrows and notice that the highlight moves from field to field and then back to “Save.” Highlight the Icon field using the UP/DOWN arrows. Press [©] [ENTER].

You are returned «0 he Mark screen wi the new name displayed. Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver 13

SHORTCUT: There is a shorteut to accessing the Mark screen that you may find easier to use than accessing Mark from the Main Menu. If you press the Q {GOTO] key and hold it down for 2-3 seconds, the Mark Waypoint Screen is displayed. Entering a Message As many as 200 waypoints can have a message assigned to it. This comes in handy in further identifying the waypoint. If this was a waypoint for a friend s house or business, you could add a phone number or any other information that you find useful. Is there a limit to the number of waypoints I can store in the SporTrak? Yes, the SporTrak will store up to 500 user waypoints in memory. If you should ever get that many and need to input more, you will have to delete ones that you no longer need to make room. Using GOTO Routes A GOTO route is simply a route with a start point and a single destination point: I am here and I want to go to there. AI that is required to create a GOTO route is having the destination waypoint saved in memory. This waypoint can be one that you have saved earlier (which is stored in your User Waypoint List) or any of the landmarks that come with the SporTrak in its built-in database. Creating à GOTO Route Press ÉD GOTO. The first thing that has vo be done is 10 select the destination waypoint. This is done by accessing the waypoint database. The first screen is used to select the category of the database that the waypoint is in and how it will be found, alphabetically or nearest to your position, a city or the cursor. Selecting a Destination Waypoint from Database using “Near Position” Use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight the category that your destination waypoint is in. Use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to select how the waypoints are displayed, Alphabetical, Near Position, Near City or Near Cursor. In this case, you will be using “Near Position”. Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver

The example shown here is a sample of a City Waypoint List. This is a sample of a Nearest City Waypoint list for Magellan. Your screen will look different. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight your choice of waypoint to be our destination and press © [ENTER]. The GOTO route is now active and you are returned to the last viewed navigation screen. Selecting a Destination Waypoint from the Database using “Alphabetical” Highlight any category other than User, and press the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to select a Find By of “Alphabetical”. Press © [ENTER]. (In chis example, Cities was selected and this is how the screen appears.) Using the arrow keys to navigate the displayed keyboard, begin typing in the name of the waypoint (destination) you are looking for. For example, suppose your destination was to be Los Angeles. Use the keypad to highlight the letter “L” and press (@) ENTER]. Novice how the name is changed to the fist city stored in the SporTraks memory that begins with the letter “L” and that the cursor has moved to the next letter in the city name. (You can move the cursor back if you made a mistake by ighlighting the “<=” button on the keyboard and press © [ENTER].) Since we are looking for Los Angeles, we need to highlight the “O” next and press © [ENTER]. Then the “S” and pr(@) [ENTER]. To add a space, highlighe the “space bar” and press (©) (ENTERI. (ko, you can use the “->” button to move the cursor to the right if you want to skip the letter the cursor is indicating.) You dont need to spell out the entire word. The attempt here is to get close to the name so you won't need to scroll very far during the next step. As a guide, entering the first five letters should be sufficient. When you are satsied wich what you have entered, highlighe “OK and press (@) [ENTER]. Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver

The list of all the waypoints for the category you selected, in this case cities, is displayed with the waypoint that was previously selected at the top of the list. Now just use the Up/Down arrows to highlight the waypoint you are looking or and press (@) LENTERIL. For his example, you would highlighr Los Angeles and press (@) [ENTER]. The Map screen is displayed and the SporTrak will begin computing all of the necessary information needed to get you to your destination. Navigating on à GOTO Route The Spor Trak has the ability to provide you with the tools you'll need to navigate to your destination. You have the choice of three customizable screens that display the information that you need in the layout that you desire. Hikers may find the compass screen perfect for them while boaters may prefer the Large Data or Map screen. For you, the Map screen may have all the information you'll ever require. Press (S) INAV] until the navigation screen you want is displayed. If you selected the Map screen, you will see your position icon in the center of the screen with a line drawn for you on the map, graphically displaying the GOTO route. Note that this route is line of sight (LOS) or “as the crow flies.” The Spor Trak does not compute the route using streets and highways providing a turn-by-turn routing, You’ find very quickly chat you can easily use the roads and highways displayed on the Map screen and compare them to the displayed route and get to your destination simply. du GOTO routes are NOT saved in memory when the SporTrak Le is turned off. If you are navigating on a GOTO route and you need to turn the SporTrak off, you will need to restart the GOTO. Routes, however, are stored in memory. If you need to make a GOTO but expect to turn the Spor Trak off before arriving, you might consider making a 1-leg route using the route menu. Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver

Summary This concludes the basic operation of the Magellan SporTrak, but there is so much more. More detailed information can be found in the Reference Section of the User Manual. IF this is your first time using a GPS receiver, you should take some time now to get comfortable with the NAV screens and begin saving some waypoints at different locations. An ideal way to get used to using the Magellan Spor Trak is to go outside your house and obtain a position fix. (An easy way to see that you are computing a position fix is to view the Sat Status screen. When you see “3D” in the upper right corner, you are computing fixes.) Now view the Map screen. Chances are you will see some familiar streets being displayed. Now that the SporTrak has told you where you are, save this location into memory by pressing +.) MENU, selecting Mark from the list and pressing © ENTER. Now would be a good time to practice using the keypad to enter a new name for this waypoint. “Home” would be a good choice. When you have finished inputting a name and youve highlighted DONE and pressed (@) ENTER, you will be back at the Map screen. Notice there is now an icon displayed for the waypoint you just created. Next, go to the store, a friend's house or any location away from where you are now. Repeat the process of “Marking” this position. (Be sure you are computing fixes before saving the position.) Now you should have two distinct waypoints saved in your SporTrak. Using the simple instructions provided here, press ff GOTO, highlighe “User” and press @) ENTER. Now use the up/down arrows to highlight the “Home” waypoint (if you called it that) and press (@) ENTER. The Magellan SporTrak will now begin computing all of the information you need to return to your home. As you are travelling, notice the different NAV screens and witness the data changing as you are moving. (Dont view the Spor Tiak screen if you are driving, let the passenger do that.) Everything else the Spor Trak can do for you is based on the simple exercise you just performed and when you are comfortable doing this, everything else will be a simple building block on what you already know.

Selecting the Data Fields — This function allows you to select which data fields are to be displayed. You can choose from Customize Fields, Street Information or, if topographie information is loaded, you can select Horizontal Profile or Terrain Projection. If you select either Horizontal Profile or Terrain Projection and you do not have topographie information loaded a warning screen is displayed.

Horizontal Profile Description — This mode displays at the bottom of the Map screen a graphical representation of the horizon at a fixed distance from your present position. This fixed distance is equal to the map scale you have selected for the Map screen, so as you zoom in or out, the horizon displayed will change. In the Horizon Profile mode, you will also notice a line projected out from your present position icon to a shorter perpendicular line. The intersection of the two lines indicates the location on the map where the horizon is being computed. (This Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver 25

function requires that map data has been uploaded from Magellan MapSend Topo for the United States and that your present position as well as the projected horizon falls within the area uploaded.) You should note that when you select Horizontal Profile, your Map Orientation will change to “Track Up” so you may need to change that when you are done viewing the horizontal profile. If you change Orientation to something other then Track Up while viewing the Horizontal Profile, the default Two Data Fields is displayed. Changing the Orientation back to “Track Up” will revert back to the Horizontal Profile. Also, you must be zoomed in to a scale of 0.80 miles or closer for the horizontal profile to be displayed. Zoom scales higher then 0.80 miles will cause the data displayed to change to the Two Data Fields and will change back to Horizontal Profile as you zoom in to 0.80 miles and below. Terrain Projection Description — This feature allows you to view the terrain directly ahead of you graphically. It is computed from your present position and extends in a straight line to the top of your display. This provides you with instantaneous information on what terrain elevations are directly in front of you. Your present position and elevation are indicated at the left side of the display. The maximum elevation for the terrain ahead of you is displayed above the graph, next to the map scale indicator. (This function requires that map data has been uploaded from Magellan MapSend Topo for the United States and that your present position as well as the projected horizon falls within the area uploaded.) Like Horizontal Profile, you must be zoomed in to a scale of 0.80 miles or closer for the projected terrain to be displayed. Zoom scales higher then 0.80 miles will cause the data displayed to change to the Two Data Fields and will change back to Terrain Projection as you zoom in to 0.80 miles and below. You should note that when you select Terrain Projection your Map Orientation will change to “Track Up” so you may need to change that when you are done viewing the projected terrain. If you change Orientation to something other then Track Up while viewing the 26 Magellan SporTak GPS Receiver

Terrain Projection, the default Two Data Fields is displayed. Changing the Orientation back to “Track Up” will revert back to the projected terrain. Changing the Map Orientation — You can change how the map is orientated on the screen to either North Up, Course Up or Track Up. Default is North Up. From Highlight Use arrows to eu the MAP highlight the \ Screen “Orientation” field : {Use arrows to select the desired Map Orientation North Up North is at the top of the screen. Course Up The heading of the active leg of the active route is at the top of the screen. If no route is active, North Up orientation is used until a route is activated. Track Up Your heading (ï.e., the direction you are travelling) is at the top of the screen. Selecting Primary Usage — The SporTrak can be set to either Land or Marine Usage. When in Land (default), the map displays land areas in white and water areas as dark gray. For marine applications it may be desirable to reverse the display, showing water as white and land as dark gray. This will make reading some of the data information on the water easier. From Highlight Use arrows to the MAP highlight the Screen “Primary Usage” field | Use arrows to select ---- Land or Marine Selecting Track Mode — Allows you to set how often the SporTrak stores track points. Setting the mode to “OFF” stops the SporTrak from saving any new track points. In “Auto” or “Auto Detailed” mode, the SporTrak uses a method for track point storage that maximizes memory. Using Auto, you will see more points on and near turns and less points on straight stretches of the map. You also have the option of selecting fixed intervals for track point storage. Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver 27

From Highlight Use arrows to - the MAP . highlight the * Screen “Track Mode” field | Use arrows to = _ select Mode Setting the Track Mode to “OFF” will cause severe êL limitations to the ability of your SporTrak to create a backtrack route. The same temporary waypoints used to create the displayed track are used to compute a backtrack route. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you use the “Auto” Track Mode whenever possible. Auto vs. Auto Detailed. You will notice two of the options for the Track Mode are Auto (default) and Auto Detailed. Basically, both options behave the same. While your are travelling in a straight line, only a few track points are taken, but as you turn the SporTrak increases the rate of track points. This allows for a good representation of your track with minimal track points stored. Auto Detailed performs exactly the same as Auto, but has the base rate of track points saved increased. This allows a more detailed track then Auto to be taken, while at the same time saving memory over a fixed rate. Using Vertical Profile — Vertical Profile displays the elevation as a graphical display +000 for the option you select. Only Track History is available for this D function if MapSend Topo for the United States map data is not uploaded. (Path Bot asit Check is shown as an available function but nes tit will not display the vertical profile, however it 2 . Elevation can be used to graphically create a route.

If the cursor or your present position is on a road and you have topographie maps loaded, you can view the vertical profile for the road you have selected. Route Vertical Profile Description — (Available only with map data uploaded from Magellan MapSend Topo for the United States.) If you have at least one route stored in memory, you can view the vertical profile for the route. After selecting Vertical Profile, you will be asked to select the route you want to plot. Path Check Description — Path check performs two functions. First, it allows you to create a path on the Map screen graphically and then view this path vertical profile (assuming that you have uploaded a topo map). You can also save this path as a route, allowing an additional method of creating a route. After selecting Path Check from the Vert. Profile menu, you will be returned to the Map screen where you can begin to lay out your path. Using the arrow keypad, move the cursor to the desired location of the path beginning and press [GOTO]. Now use the arrow keypad to move to a new location and press [GOTO]. Notice a thick line has been drawn between the two points. Continue moving the cursor and pressing [GOTO] until your path is complete. When it is done, press [ENTER] and the vertical profile for the path is displayed. Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver 29

You can select only those waypoints in your general vicinity (Near Position) or all of the waypoints in the category in alphabetical order (Alphabetical). Creating a Backtrack Route — Creates a route using track information stored in the SporTrak to “retrace” your steps. A good example of using a backtrack would be if you were out hiking or jogging with your SporTrak turned on and computing position fixes. After 30 minutes you choose to return to where you started, following the same route you just took. Al you need do is follow the instructions below and let the SporTrak take you there. From Highlight Select L Any “Backtrack” “ from Route List Screen es Highlight © Creating a Multileg Route — Provides the means to create a multileg route that can be stored in memory. Multileg routes are easily the most complicated function in the SporTrak, but once you can visualize what a multileg route (route) is, it becomes very easy to understand and create. If you understand that a GOTO is a 1-leg route with a starting point and a destination point, Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver 43

then imagine a bunch of GOTO strung together where the destination ofone GOTO is the starting point for the next GOTO. That means if you had three GOTO', one from “A” to “B”, another from “B” to “C” and a third from “C” to “D” you could then put them together to make one multileg route. In this example you would have a 3-leg route that went from “A” to “B” to “C” to “D”. Tes leg Y

These routes have an advantage over GOTO* in that A) the starting point does not have to be your present position, B) they are always in memory and if activated they remain activated, even when you turn the Spor Trak off and then back on, and C) they can be saved and used over and over again.

Frequently Asked Questions General What is the difference between degrees/minutes/seconds (DEG/MINI/SEC) and degrees/minutes/minutes (DEG/MIN/MMM or DEG/MIN/MM)? There are different ways in expressing the coordinates computed using Lat/Lon coordinate system. With DEG/MIN/SEC the final set of numbers (SEC) is expressed as 0-59 while DEG/ MIN/MM expresses the same value as 0-99 and DEG/MIN/ MMM is from 0-999. It would be the same as if you had one clock that expressed time as hour/minutes/seconds and another clock that expressed the same time as hours/minutes/decimals. The accuracy for any of the three is the same. Which you choose is dependent upon your preference or any chart you are using at the same time. (You should always make sure that your Spor Trak is setup to be the same as any map or chart you may be using.) What is 2D vs. 3D? The difference is primarily how many satellites are used to compure the position fix and how elevation is computed. In 2D (two-dimensional) only three satellites are needed for a position fix and elevation is not computed. Any elevation displayed by the Spor Tiak during 2D operation is the elevation you entered. In 3D (three-dimensional), a minimum of four satellites are needed to compute the position and at the same time, elevation is computed by the SporTrak. When the time changes for daylight savings time will the time, in the Spor Trak change automatically? Yes. It is automatically selected when the receiver is used for the first time or all of the memory has been cleared. If you need to change the settings for daylight savings, you can use the Setup menu item and access “Daylight savings”. There you can select United States, European Union or you can use the customize option to set the rules for daylight savings in your area. Magellan Spor Trak GPS Receiver 61

How long can T'expect my Spor Trak to run on a fresh set of batteries? Under normal operating conditions you should get up to 15 hours of use while the display backlight is turned off. This duration will drop significantly if you use the display backlight. How often do T need to initialize the Spor Trak? Initializing the SporTrak decreases the time it takes to get a position fix during cold start. What is meant by a cold start is that the SporTrak has no reference to use as a guide to tell it what satellites should be overhead. Without a reference to start with, the SporTrak will have to “search the sky” trying to find any satellite that may be in “view.” This takes time and can increase the time it takes to get its first position fix. (Can take 10 minutes in severe conditions.) So where does this reference come from? Under normal operating conditions, the last position fix computed before the Spor Trak was turned off is stored into memory and will be used as the reference the next time the SporTrak is turned on. However, if you cleared the memory (see Clearing Memory - All in the Reference Chapter) this stored reference point is removed from memory and you probably will want to initialize the receiver again. Also, if you travel with your SporTrak for more than 500 miles with it turned off, it will still have the reference point but it may be too inaccurate to be useful and again, you may want to initialize the SporTrak. ‘Waypoints/Database What waypoints come preloaded on my SporTraks database? The Database contains cities, highways, airports, waterways and national parks. Can I delete preloaded waypoints that I don't use? No. Waypoints that are preloaded into the Spor Trak will always be available, even when all of the SporTraks memory has been cleared. e Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver

Navigation Screens Why does my compas not point in the right direction? The SporTrak computes direction by comparing your present position to the last position taken, it requires that you be moving to compute your compass heading. Furthermore, to eliminate error, you must be moving at a minimum of 0.5 mph. Routes What is a backtrack route? A backtrack route allows you to “retrace” your steps. As you are moving, the Spor Trak automatically creates and stores hidden waypoints into memory. These waypoints are the ones that the Spor Trak will use to retrace your steps. When you create a backtrack route, the SporTrak converts these hidden waypoints into User Waypoints. How do I know which route is active? Access the route menu by pressing the MENU button and select the option Routes. The route menu lists all of the routes in memory with the active route displayed in bold characters. Alarms Why does my SporTrak not make an audible beep when 1 have an alarm active? Check your setup settings for the Beeper. If the selection is Off or Keys Only, the beeper will not sound for alarms. Output Data What is NMEA? NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) is the standard used for interfacing marine electronic devices. This standard has also been adapted for use in a variety of third-party mapping sofaware programs. Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver 63

What are the NMEA message strings? The SporTrak supports version 1.5 and 2.1 of the NMEA 0183 standard. Additional information on NMEA can be found at on the internet at wwwnmea.org, where you can purchase the NMEA Interface Standards. Another excellent source for NMEA standards is a FAQ sheet that is published on the internet by Peter Bennett at vancouver-webpages.com/peter/nmeafaq.txt. My GPS is not communicating with my computer. What can I do? Check your baud rate and check the baud rate that your software is using. Ifthey don't match, change either the software’ or the SporTraks baud rate (See Setup - Changing the Baud Rate.) Can I interface my Spor Tak with a Macintosh computer? Magellan does not supply cabling or software for the Macintosh line of computers. For information on a cable or software that may meet your requirements, visit GPSy at www.gpsy.com on the internet. 64 Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver

Appendix Troubleshooting Receiver will not turn on:

1. Check to see if batteries are installed correctly.

2. Replace with two new AA alkaline batteries.

Takes more than 10 minutes to get a position fix:

1. Ifthere are any obstacles nearby or overhead, move to a new location.

2. Make sure chat the antenna is pointing up, has a clear view of the sky and

is a reasonable distance away from your body.

3. Check Satellite Status screen to see where the satellites are and if the

receiver is acquiring data.

4. Ifthe receiver still does not get a position fix within 10 minutes, you may

wish to repeat the initialization procedure. Receiver turns off unexpectedly This is commonly is caused by excessive static electicity. Turn the receiver back on and it should operate normally. Move the receiver to a new location to avoid a similar occurrence. Battery life seems shorter than it should be:

1. Make sure that you are using two AA alkaline batteries.

2. Shorter life span of the batteries can be due to excessive use of the

backlight. Turn the backlight off when not needed. Position coordinates on your receiver do not match the location on your map. 1... Make sure that your receiver is set up to use the same datum as your map. The map datum is generally shown in the map legend. See Serup - Changing the Map Datum under Reference for instructions on selecting the map datum in your receiver.

2. Check your LAT/LON format. Make sure chat the format selected in

Connecting to External Devices Available as accessories for your GPS receiver are the following cables: External Power Cable with Cigarette Lighter Adapter, Power/Data Cable, Data Cable and PC Cable with Cigarette Lighter Adapter. The instructions given below apply to all cables, unless otherwise stated. Connecting directly to the SporTrak. Using the captive screw that is attached to the plug, tighten into the back of the receiver. If you are connecting to the SporTrak while it is mounted in the Mounting Cradle, attach the cable through the back of the cradle. It is not necessary to tighten the captive screw to the SporTrak, although you may do so for added security. Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver 71

Connecting to an External Power Source If using the cable that comes with the cigarette lighter adapter, simply connect it to the cigarette lighter outlet. If you wish to make a permanent mount to a power supply, cut the cable between the power supply box and the cigarette lighter adapter. Attach the red (+) and black (-) wires to your external power source. The input voltage range for external power is 9-18 VDC. Caution: Do not bypass the power supply box or you will damage your unit and void the warranty.

D Apperdie WAAS Your Magellan GPS receiver has been upgraded to include the latest WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) technology. With WAAS your GPS receiver can compute position locations with an accuracy never before possible in a commercial receiver. What is WAAS? WAAS is a means of improving the accuracy of GPS beyond the standard civilian signal. WAAS was developed by the FAA to provide the accuracy needed for aircraft to perform approaches for landings. WAAS improves the accuracy of GPS by calculating the errors in the GPS signal at several monitoring stations around the country and then transmitting the error correc- tions to special WAAS satellites. In turn, these satellites broadcast the error corrections to WAAS-capable GPS receivers around the world. WAAS is a free service and, with the small exception of two additional satellites displayed on the Satellite Status screen, it will be transparent to you. There is nothing you need do, its all ready to go. How accurate will my GPS receiver be with WAAS? The FAA reports that expected accuracy can be improved to around 7 meters vertically and horizon- tally. Our own testing suggests that Magellan GPS receivers will typically experience accuracy improvement to around 3 meters. You can expect to see this level of accuracy for 95% of the time that you are receiving WAAS signals. What are some of the problems with WAAS? The signal coverage with WAAS is not global like GPS satellites. In some locations, receiving WAAS signals can be difficult and intermittent. There are two satellites transmitting WAAS for corrections in the Americas and two more over Africa and India providing similar coverage for Europe. These satellites are geostationary, .e., they stay in the same spot over the Earth equator. The two satellites for the Americas are over the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Chances are then, they will probably be near the horizon from where you are using your GPS receiver. This increases the chance that buildings, foliage, terrain and other obstacles could block the WAAS signal. Also WAAS is a relatively new system and is still in its developmental stage. So on occasion you may experience service outages. Even during these outages, your GPS receiver will still be working, computing position fixes and helping you get to where you want to go using the GPS signals. The only difference is you will not be getting the precision that WAAS was providing. You can expect to see these outages diminish as the system matures and stabilizes. For more information on WAAS, you can visit the FAA websites section on their WAAS system: http://gps.faa.gov/programs/WAAS/waas.htm Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver 73

Pappendie Glossary Active Leg The segment of a route currently being traveled. Altitude The current elevation above sea level. BRG Bcaring. The compass direction from your position 10 a destination, measured to the nearest degree. Buoy A navigation aid (usually found in marine charts) that is floating in water. The position can vary due to the magnitude and direction of the current. CoG Course Over Ground. The direction the receiver is moving. COG can be reported in true or magnetic north values. Coordinates A unique numeric or alphanumeric description of the position. CTS Course to Steer. The direction you should be traveling in order to return to the course while proceeding towards the destination. It is a “compromise” course bearing that projects from your current position to a point on the courseline midway between a point perpendicular to your position and the current leg destination waypoint. Datum Refers to the theoretical mathematical model of the earth sea level surface. Map makers may use a different model to chart their maps, so position coordinates will differ from one datum to another. The datum for the map you are using can be found in the legend of the map. If you are unsure of which datum to use, use WGS84. Default The value or setting automatically chosen by the unit unless otherwise directed. Can be changed in Setup. DST Distance. Distance from position to destination. ETA Estimated Time of Arrival. The estimated time of day the leg’s destination waypoint will be reached. 74 Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver

ETE Estimated Time Enroute. The estimated time remaining to reach the next Waypoint in a route. HDG Heading. The direction you are facing, defined as an angle from North. Latitude The angular distance north or south of the equator measured by lines encircling the earth parallel to the equator from 0° to 90°. LAT/LON Coordinate system using latitude and longitude coordinates to define a position on the earth. Leg (Route) A segment of a route that has a starting (FROM) Waypoint and a destination (TO) waypoint. A route may consist of 1 or more legs. A route that is from Waypoint À to waypoint B to waypoint C to waypoint D has three legs with the first being from waypoint A to waypoint B. Longitude The angular distance east or west of the prime meridian (Greenwich Meridian) as measured by lines perpendicular to the parallels and converging at the poles from 0° to 180°. Magnetic North The direction relative to a magnetic compass. NMEA National Marine Electronics Association. A profes- sional organization that defines and maintains the standard serial format used by marine electronic navigation equipment and computer interfaces. OSGB A coordinate system describing only Great Britain, similar to UTMSs. Used with GRB36 datum. Position fix Position coordinates as computed by the SporTrak. SoG Speed Over Ground. The speed at which the receiver is moving. TMP Temperature. Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver 75

True North The direction to North Pole from an observer’s position. The north direction on any geographical meridian. UTC Universal Time Coordinated. Formerly referred to as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). UTM Universal Transverse Mercator metric grid system used on most large and intermediate scale land topographic charts and maps. VMG Velocity Made Good. The component of the velocity that is in the direction of the destination. WPT Waypoint. A location saved in the receiver’s memory which is obtained by entering data, editing data, calculating data or saving a current position. Used to create routes. XTE Cross Track Error. The perpendicular distance between the present position and the courseline. Given as a distance, right or left, of course when facing the destination. 76 Magellan SporTiak GPS Receiver
