[. . . ] User Manual Meridian® Series of GPS Receivers . 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 Meridian 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. [. . . ] 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 Terrain Projection, the default Two Data Fields is displayed. Changing the Orientation back to "Track Up" will revert back to the projected terrain. Magellan Meridian GPS Receiver 31 Reference 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 the MAP Screen MENU Highlight Map Setup ENTER Use arrows to highlight the "Orientation" field ENTER Use arrows to select the desired Map Orientation ENTER NAV North Up Course Up Track Up North is at the top of the screen. 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. Your heading (i. e. , the direction you are travelling) is at the top of the screen. Selecting Primary Usage -- The Meridian 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 the MAP Screen MENU Highlight Map Setup ENTER Use arrows to highlight the "Primary Usage" field ENTER Use arrows to select Land or Marine ENTER NAV Selecting Track Mode -- Allows you to set how often the Meridian stores track points. Setting the mode to "OFF" stops the Meridian from saving any new track points. In "Auto" or "Auto Detailed" mode, the Meridian 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. 32 Magellan Meridian GPS Receiver Reference From the MAP Screen MENU Highlight Map Setup ENTER Use arrows to highlight the "Track Mode" field ENTER Use arrows to select Mode ENTER NAV Setting the Track Mode to "OFF" will cause severe limitations to the ability of your Meridian 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. 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 Meridian 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.
