User Manual

MAP 330/MAP 330M

This User Manual provides the instructions for using the Magellan MAP

330 and the Magellan MAP 330M GPS receivers. Any reference to the

MAP 330 in this User Manual applies to both receivers. Those areas that

apply only to the MAP 330M will be noted.

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 MAP 330 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.

USE GOOD JUDGEMENT

This product is an excellent navigation aid, but does not replace the need for

careful orienteering and good judgement. Never rely solely on one device for

navigating.

USE CARE

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government, which is

solely responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of GPS.

The accuracy of position fixes can be affected by the periodic adjustments to GPS

satellites made by the U.S. Government and is subject to change in accordance

with the Department of Defense civil GPS user policy and the Federal

Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry.

USE PROPER ACCESSORIES

Use only Magellan cables and antennas; the use of non-Magellan cables and

antennas may severely degrade performance or damage the receiver, and will void

the warranty.

Introduction

Welcome and congratulations on your purchase of the Magellan MAP 330 GPS receiver. The MAP 330 has all the features that a sailor, fisherman, hiker, hunter, or any person involved with outdoor recreational activities has come to expect from a Magellan GPS receiver. In addition to these features, the MAP 330 offers the ability to display your location on detailed city maps providing you with a complete navigation tool that will last you for years to come.

The MAP 330M has all the features of the MAP 330, and has navaids (fixed navaids, buoys, lighthouses and marinas) preloaded into the receiver’s database.

Magellan has been a leader in the hand-held GPS market since introducing the world’s first commercial, hand-held GPS receiver in 1989. Since that time Magellan has continued to equip the outdoorsman and consumer markets with navigational receivers, all the way from the first GPS receiver for under $100 to automotive receivers with turn-by-turn routing capabilities.

Before you begin, make sure that your package includes all of the items listed on the side panel of the box. If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact Magellan Corporation at (866) 737-8604 for replacement items.

This User Manual is divided into six chapters; Introduction, Setting Up the MAP 330, Basic Operation, Reference Guide, Frequently Asked Questions, and Appendix. Each of these chapters will be explained briefly so you can tell which ones are right for you. A glossary and index are provided after the Appendix as well.

Setting Up the MAP 330: This chapter will show you how to prepare the MAP

330 for use. Instructions will include how to install the batteries, how to connect the wrist strap and how to initialize the MAP 330.

Basic Operation: This chapter provides you with step-by-step instructions for

using the basic functions of the MAP 330. This chapter will explain getting a position fix, viewing the Map screen, saving a waypoint and using a GOTO. Knowing these four basic steps will enable you to use the MAP 330 for most things you will want to do.

Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver 1

Introduction

Reference Guide: Here you will find step-by-step instructions for all of the

features found in the MAP 330. This chapter is set up in a way that you can quickly and easily find the feature you are looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions: This chapter is aimed at answering some of the

more basic questions that you may have about your MAP 330, the global positioning system (GPS) and using the MAP 330 to its fullest. Experienced GPS users will probably not find any new information in this chapter but new GPS users may find many of their questions answered here.

Appendix: Sections containing information about connecting your MAP 330

to external devices, accessories, troubleshooting and specifications can be found in the Appendix.

Glossary: A glossary is provided explaining some of the terms and abbreviations

found in the MAP 330 and this manual that may not be familiar to all users.

It’s time to begin using your MAP 330. Don’t be overwhelmed with the size of the manual as we have tried to give enough information for the beginning user as well as provide the experienced users with the specifications and features that they are looking for.

The most important thing to us is to be sure that you are completely satisfied with your MAP 330 and the accompanying documentation. If you have any ideas, suggestions or even a complaint, please pass them along to us through our web site (www.magellangps.com) or by mail.

2 Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver

Setting Up the MAP 330

Setting up the MAP 330 is a simple three-step process: installing the batteries, attaching the wrist strap and initializing the MAP 330.

The MAP 330 uses two AA batteries that are installed from the back through the battery cover. You can expect to get up to 10 hours of usage on two AA batteries with the backlight turned off.

To remove the battery cover, turn the ring of the battery door screw counterclockwise until the battery cover can be removed. Insert the new

batteries as shown, making sure that the batteries are installed with the correct polarity.

Replace the cover and tighten the battery door screw by turning it clockwise until the battery door is securely in place. Avoid overtightening the battery door screw.

How much time do I have to replace the batteries? Any waypoints or routes you have created are stored in permanent memory and should not be lost for months with the batteries removed. Present position and time data is not stored in permanent memory but will be held in memory for at least two hours without batteries installed.

Always turn the MAP 330 off before removing the batteries or turning off external power. Failure to do so can cause loss or corruption of data.

Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver 3

Setting Up the MAP 330

The wrist strap attaches to the ring on the screw for the battery door cover. The picture below shows how the wrist strap should be attached.

4 Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver

Setting Up the MAP 330

The final step in setting up the MAP 330 is to initialize the receiver for firsttime use. This will help your MAP 330 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 MAP 330 has no last position computed in memory (i.e., when the MAP 330 is brand new or memory has been cleared). This gives the MAP 330 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 MAP 330.

Basic Operation

Because the MAP 330 attains information it needs from satellites orbiting the earth, the antenna needs to have a relatively unobstructed view of the sky. This allows the MAP 330 to choose from all satellites currently available.

If the view of the sky is poor, (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 MAP 330. The receiver is designed

to fit comfortably in your hand. Hold the MAP 330 in the palm of your hand with the antenna

pointing towards the sky.

The MAP 330 has five navigation screens: Map screen, Compass screen, Large Data screen, Position 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.

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.

12 Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver

Basic Operation

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.

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 MAP 330 mounted on the dashboard of a boat using the optional swivel mounting bracket. Even from a distance the information can be read with ease.

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 current navigation information is shown on the bottom half of the screen.

Is there a limit to the number of waypoints I can store in the MAP 330? Yes, the MAP 330 will store up to 500 user waypoints in memory.

However, the MAP 330 will only allow messages to be created for 200 waypoints. 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.

Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver 17

Basic Operation

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. All 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 MAP 330 in its built-in database.

For example, suppose you parked your car and planned on going hiking for about an hour. And suppose that when you are done with your hike you want directions for getting back to your car. It’s all very simple. First, at the location you parked your car

you would use the MAP 330 to compute that position and then you would save that position with a name like “Parked.” After your hike, you can use the GOTO function (described following this section) and select “Parked” as your destination from the User Waypoint List. The MAP 330 will then guide you back to your car.

Press GOTO. The first thing that has to be done is to 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 or cursor.

Selecting a Destination Waypoint from the 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 or Near Cursor. In this case, you will be using “Near Position”.

18 Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver

Basic Operation

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 your 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 use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to select a Find By of

Alphabetical. Press

ENTER

was selected and this is how the screen appears.

This is a very long list and using the UP/DOWN arrows to find the right waypoint could take a long time. To speed up the process of finding a waypoint in the list, the MAP 330 offers you a way of “jumping” to the area of the list where the waypoint you want can be found.

For example, suppose your destination was to be Los Angeles. Press the UP arrow once. Notice that the first letter in the cursor has changed to a “B”. The list has also “jumped” to the first city that starts with the letter “B”.

Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver 19

Basic Operation

Since we are looking for Los Angeles, we need to repeat pressing the UP key until the letter “L” is displayed in the cursor.

The City Waypoint list would look like this. This is pretty good as now the listing shows the cities beginning with the letter “L”, but we can get even closer.

Press the RIGHT arrow once. The cursor has moved to the second character in the list. Press the UP arrow until the letter “O” is in the cursor. (Note that the MAP 330 skips over letters that have no corresponding waypoint in the list. Since no city begins with “LB”, it skipped past “LB” and looked for a city that, starts with “LC” and so on. This takes a little time so press the UP arrow and wait as this process may take a second to do.)

Press the RIGHT arrow again and use the UP arrow to select “S” in the cursor. Now you have gotten to a point on the list where you can see the city waypoint name for Los Angeles.

20 Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver

Basic Operation

You can now select Los Angeles from the list by

pressing

ENTER

. The first city in the list is now

highlighted. Use the DOWN arrow to highlight Los Angeles.

With Los Angeles highlighted, it can be selected as the destination of the GOTO

route by pressing

ENTER

You are now sent to the last NAV screen that was viewed. The GOTO route has been activated and you are ready to begin navigating on the route.

The MAP 330 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.

NAV

Press

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 MAP 330 does not compute the route using streets and highways providing a turn-by-turn routing. You’ll find very quickly that 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.

Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver 21

Basic Operation

GOTO routes are NOT saved in memory when the MAP 330 is turned off. If you are navigating on a GOTO route and you need to turn the MAP 330 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 MAP 330 off before arriving, you might consider making a 1-leg route using the route menu. More information on routes can be found in the Reference chapter of this manual.

These are just the basics of the MAP 330 and for many users this is all that they will ever need. However, there are many more features in the MAP 330 that you may want to become familiar with.

• Multileg routes (numerous GOTOs strung together to make a single, complex route).

• Sunrise/Sunset and Lunar Information (allows you to see the time that the sun will rise and set along with lunar phase for a given position and date).

• Best Hunting and Fishing Times (Displays the best hunting and fishing times for a given position. Real handy for hunters and boaters.)

• Alarms and Alarm Messages (You can have the MAP 330 provide an audible and visual alert for four different alarms: Anchor, Arrival, XTE or GPS Fix.)

• Setting up the MAP 330 (You can change many of the settings in the MAP 330 to meet your requirements. All of the possible choices can be found in the Setup Menu.)

• Clearing the MAP 330’s memory (You can clear just a few or all of the stored data that you entered into the MAP 330. Be careful, once you clear the data, it is gone until you re-enter it.)

All of these and other features can be found in the Reference chapter of this manual. Just refer to it as you need.

Data Description

Bearing This is the direction to your destination from your present position, in

degrees, from North.

Distance This is distance (measured in the Nav Units selected in Setup) to your

destination.

Speed This is the rate that you are travelling. The unit of measure is selected in

Setup - Nav Units.

Heading This is the direction you are moving (in degrees). When the heading and

bearing are the same, you are travelling on a direct line to your destination.

VMG VMG (Velocity Made Good). This is the speed that you are getting closer to

your destination. If the heading and bearing are the same, then VMG will be the same as Speed since all of the speed that you are travelling is being applied to arriving to your destination. However, if you are off course, your VMG will be less than the speed that you are travelling.

CTS CTS (Course To Steer). This is the angle that you need to turn to put you

back on course.

ETA ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival). This is the local time that you will arrive at

your destination based on the rate of speed that you are moving to your destination. (See VMG.)

ETE ETE (Estimated Time Enroute). This is how long, in time, that it will take

you to arrive at your destination based upon your speed to the destination.

XTE XTE (Cross Track Error). XTE is the perpendicular distance from your

present position to the course line you should be on to go to your destination.

Turn This is the direction you need to turn to put you on the shortest distance to

your destination from your present position.

Elevation This is the distance above sea level that you are presently at.

Time Local time.

Date Current date.

Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is the difference between degrees/minutes/seconds (DEG/MIN/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 MAP 330 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 compute 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 MAP 330 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 MAP 330.

When the time changes for daylight savings time will the time, in the MAP 330 change automatically?

No. The time transmitted by the satellites atomic clock are UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) and provides no correction for daylight savings. When daylight savings time changes (or when you move to a new time zone), you need to go into Setup —

62 Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver

Frequently Asked Questions

Time Format and re-select the time format you are using unless you are using UTC. After selecting the format you will be given the opportunity to change the time.

How long can I expect my MAP 330 to run on a fresh set of batteries?

Under normal operating conditions you should get up to 10 hours of use while the display backlight is turned off. This duration will drop significantly if you use the display backlight.

How often do I need to initialize the MAP 330?

Initializing the MAP 330 decreases the time it takes to get a position fix during cold start. What is meant by a cold start is that the MAP 330 has no reference to use as a guide to tell it what satellites should be overhead. Without a reference to start with, the MAP 330 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 MAP 330 was turned off is stored into memory and will be used as the reference the next time the MAP 330 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 MAP 330 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 MAP 330.

Waypoints/Database

What waypoints come preloaded on my MAP 330’s database?

The Database contains cities, highways, airports, waterways and national parks.

Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver 63

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I delete preloaded waypoints that I don’t use?

No. Waypoints that are preloaded into the MAP 330 will always be available, even when all of the MAP 330’s memory has been cleared.

Navigation Screens

Why does my compass not point in the right direction?

The MAP 330 is not a compass. It must be moving at a minimum of 2.0 mph for the compass to compute the direction properly.

Routes

What is a backtrack route?

A backtrack route allows you to “retrace” your steps. As you are moving, the MAP 330 automatically creates and stores hidden waypoints into memory. These waypoints are the ones that the MAP 330 will use to retrace your steps. When you create a backtrack route, the MAP 330 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 MAP 330 not make an audible beep when I 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.

64 Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver

Frequently Asked Questions

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 software programs.

What are the NMEA message strings?

The MAP 330 supports version 1.5 and 2.1 of the NMEA 0183 standard.

Additional information on NMEA can be found at on the internet at www.nmea.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. If they don’t match, change either the software’s or the MAP 330’s baud rate (See Setup - Changing the Baud Rate.)

Can I interface my MAP 330 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.

Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver 65

Appendix

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. If there are any obstacles nearby or overhead, move to a new location.

2. Make sure that 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. If the 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 Setup - Changing the Map Datum under Reference for instructions on selecting the map datum in your receiver.

2. Check your LAT/LON format. Make sure that the format selected in COORDINATE SYSTEM (DEG/MIN/SEC or DEG/MIN.MM) is in the same format as the map you are using.

Position on map is not exactly on the road.

It could be caused by distance shifts to the map.

Use map data for reference and do not rely completely on it.

Data was not saved or was corrupted.

This can be caused because you removed the batteries or removed external power with the MAP 330 turned on.

The additional database categories have been added to the bottom of the list following National Parks. If you scroll down further, using the down arrow, you will see the rest of the navaid categories.

Tips on Using the MAP 330M

• Loading maps from MapSend Streets CDROM provides more detailed coastlines which are useful for navigation.

• Navaid icons begin being displayed at 3.5 mile scale with the Map Detail (found in Map Setup) set to Medium. You can adjust the density of the navaids being displayed by changing the Map Detail setting.

• If you plan to use the MAP 330M mostly in marine applications, set the Primary Usage (found in Map Setup) to Marine. This will make the boat’s position, navaids and waypoint icons much easier to see on the map.

• You may want to customize the Navigation screens to give you marine-related parameters, such as XTE, CTS (course to steer), VMG, etc.

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 9-16 VDC.

Caution: Do not bypass the power supply box or you will damage your unit and void the warranty.

Active Leg The segment of a route currently being traveled.

Altitude The current elevation above sea level.

BRG Bearing. The compass direction from your position

to 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’s 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.

Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver 75

Appendix

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 A 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 UTMs. Used with GRB36 datum.

Position fix Position coordinates as computed by the MAP 330.

SOG Speed Over Ground. The speed at which the receiver

is moving.

TMP Temperature.

76 Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver

Appendix

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.
