User manual MAGELLAN SPORTRAK BASE

[. . . ] User Manual WARNINGS FOR SAFETY REASONS, THE DRIVER SHOULD NOT USE THIS DEVICE IN A VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION TO ASSIST THE DRIVER TO NAVIGATE. Please do not try and change any settings on the SporTrak while driving. Come to a complete stop or have your passenger make any changes. Taking your eyes off the road is dangerous and can result in an accident in which you or others could be injured. [. . . ] (Great Circle) BRG/DST field, you can input the bearing and distance into the data fields in order to compute the projection. You can also input information into the coordinate fields. Select field You can change any of the three sections in the PROJECTION screen. Once you have the necessary information in the data fields and the receiver has projected the position, you can save the position by pressing [MARK]. 30 Magellan SporTrak DataSendTM CD (optional) DataSendTM software contains a database of waypoints that can be sent to your receiver and are broken down into multiple categories. The software allows you to select a geographical area and enable waypoint categories for that location to be transferred into the receiver. Using DataSendTM After you have installed DataSendTM you are ready to view and send waypoints to the receiver. While running DataSendTM you will see a background map of the world that you can zoom in to see enabled waypoints. If you want to send waypoints to your receiver, you must select the geographic area first, then from the waypoint list you can make your selection of waypoints to send. The software will compute the amount of memory required and whether your selection fits into your receiver. If it exceeds the available receiver memory, either the geographic area, list of waypoints selected, or both, can be decreased and the memory requirements recomputed. The list of waypoints selected in the specified geographic area can then be saved under a project name you enter. You can then send the waypoints to the receiver which replace all waypoints in the receiver. The default waypoints that came with the receiver can be restored at any time. Don't worry about losing the waypoints that came with the receiver, they are available on the CD for retransmission to the receiver. Magellan SporTrak 31 Working with Routes Creating/Clearing a GOTO A GOTO is a route that guides you from your current position to any waypoint in the receiver's memory. As an example, you can save a waypoint at your home. No matter where you go, you will always be able to navigate back home by using GOTO. To create a GOTO GOTO MOB USER STADIUM GOLF COURSE HALL FIG. A Select category Select waypoint To clear a GOTO. The CLEAR GOTO function allows you to delete an active GOTO route. Select CLEAR GOTO Figure A. Your menu may differ depending the waypoints in memory. If there are no active GOTOs, the CLEAR GOTO will not be displayed in the MENU. Creating GOTO on the Plotter Screen A GOTO route can be created by selecting a waypoint on the plotter screen. While on the plotter screen, follow this procedure to access PAN-N-SCAN and set a GOTO by: By selecting the GOTO destination waypoint from the plotter screen, you can avoid selecting the wrong waypoint if its name is shared with another waypoint. From PLOT screen Move crosshair Select PAN-N-SCAN Select yes or no When the crosshair is over the waypoint icon, the waypoint name is displayed at the top of the screen. 32 Magellan SporTrak Creating a Man Over Board (MOB) Route Another type of route is a Man Over Board (MOB). The MOB route is useful when you want to instantly create and activate a route to the last computed position. Select MOB MOB waypoints will be created and titled MOB001, MOB002 and so on. If a MOB already exists, the receiver will give you the option of replacing the MOB. The CLEAR MOB function allows you to delete an active MOB route. While in MOB screen Select CLEAR MOB Creating a Backtrack Route Backtrack creates a route that starts from the last point recorded in track history using the "bread crumbs" saved, to the first point recorded for track history. By following this route, you "retrace your steps" back to the starting point. Select ROUTES Select BACKTRACK A route will be created and given a name in the format of BXXPxx. XX is the BACKTRACK number and xx is the waypoint number ranging from 01 to 31. [. . . ] tower on land or a Greenday mark in water. The direction you are facing, defined as an angle from North. The angular distance north or south of the equator measured by lines encircling the earth parallel to the equator from 0° to 90°. Coordinate system using latitude and longitude coordinates to define a position on the earth. [. . . ]
