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.

Settingi 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.

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

Settingi 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

Basicic Operationi

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.

When you have the name the way you want it, highlight “OK” and press ENTER . You are returned to the Mark screen with the new name displayed.

Entering a Message

Any waypoint 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.

Use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight the Message field and press ENTER .

The keyboard window is displayed the same as when the Name was changed. Only this time the top of the window says “Message” and the field you are typing into is larger to accommodate more characters. You can have up to 30 characters in the message field.

To accept the new message, highlight “OK” and press ENTER . To leave the message the way it was, press ESC at any time.

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.
