1 Intr oduction W elcome to the Magellan GPS 300 Congratulations on your purchase of the Magellan GPS 300 satellite navigator . The GPS 300 is an easy-to-use GPS receiver designed to get you out in the “G reat Outdoors ” rather than spending hours reading a U ser’ s Manual.
2 The ENTER key confirms data entries or menu selections. The NA V key accesses the Position and Navigation screens. The MARK key is used to create landmarks and store the current position. The LIGHT key turns the light on and off. The ARROW pad is used to enter landmark names, and scroll through the series of screens and menu selections.
3 Getting Star ted Installing the Batteries The GPS 300 uses two AA alkaline batteries that are installed at the back of the receiver . T o remo ve the batter y co ver , turn the ring of the battery door screw counterclockwise until the batter y co ver can be remo ved.
4 The GPS 300 is designed to fit comfortably in your hand. Hold the receiver with the antenna towar ds the sky . Initializing the Receiver - EZStart Before using your GPS 300 for the first time, the r eceiver needs to know its appr agellan ’ sr Start ppr7(ocedur)20(me, the GPS 300will ppr10(omptg yo0 for thd)]TJ0 -1.
5 4 ENTER ELEV A TION. U se the ARRO W pad to enter the approximate elevation for y our position. If unknown, leave the elevation at 0. P ress ENTER . 5 ENTER TIME. U se the ARR O W pad to enter your present time. P ress ENTER . 6 ENTER DA TE. U se the ARR O W pad to enter the date.
6 completed the initialization process or have just turned your GPS 300 on, the GPS 300 will display the following scr eens in the order sho wn. As the GPS 300 searches for satellites, some of the small circles around the large circle will become black indicating that the GPS 300 is tracking that satellite and receiving information.
7 Basic Operation Saving a Position Fix P osition fixes can be saved in memory for use later when you want to return to that position. Saved position fix es are referred to as land mar ks or LMK.
8 Creating a Landmark T o create a landmark at a location which is not y our current position, use the same procedur e as saving a position with the additional step of inputting different latitude/longitude coordinates. T o create a landmark pr ess MARK .
9 Viewing the POSITION Screen The POSITION screen displays the coordinates for your last computed position and information about any satellites that are visible. I t can be accessed by pressing the NA V key . Latitude and Longitude Satellite Elevation Degrees above the horizon of the satellite indicated by the satellite pointer .
10 Viewing the Navigation Screens Without an Activ e Route. Without an active route the navigation screen displays your heading and the speed at which you ar e traveling. The lower portion of the screen displays a moving compass. The triangle at the top of the compass points in the direction you ar e traveling and the arrow points to north.
11 With an Activ e Route. When you hav e an activ e route the navigation screen still displays your heading and speed but also includes the bearing and distance to your destination.
12 A second navigational screen is also pr ovided while you have an active route. This screen is very similar to the first screen except that the distance to the destination has been r eplaced with XTE (cross track error , the distance left or right that you are off course) and heading has been r eplaced with TTG (time to go).
13 Creating a GOTO Route The simplest form of a route is a one-leg route called a GOT O route (you are GOing TO a destination). This is routing you from your current position to a landmark stor ed in memory All that is required to create a GO T O route is that you have saved a landmark indicating the location of y our destination.
14 If the receiv er is not tracking sufficient satellites to compute a position fix, the start of the newly created GOT O route will be the last position computed, which may not be the current position. This GO T O route will remain the active route until a new GO T O route is created, a multileg route is activated, or the receiv er is turned off.
15 W orking with Landmarks Viewing a Landmark T o view a stored landmark press MENU until LMKS appears at the top of the screen. Pr ess ENTER . The BEARING/DIS- T ANCE screen for the first landmark in the receiver’ s memory is displayed with the bearing and distance from the last computed position fix to that landmark.
16 Editing the Landmark Name F ollowing the instructions under Viewing a Landmark , use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to select the landmar k whose name you wish to edit. P ress the UP ARR O W until the screen displays ENT TO EDIT NAME, then press ENTER . The GPS 300 then allows you to change the name of the landmark using the ARR O W pad.
17 W orking with Routes The route function allows you to link a series of landmarks and travel, point by point, to a final destination. A B C D Leg 1 Leg 2 Leg 3 The route depicted here is a three-leg route. Leg 1 extends from landmark A to landmark B, leg 2 fr om landmark B to landmark C, and leg 3 from C to D.
18 The receiv er prompts you for a starting landmark for the route. The first landmark, *POS, is your present position. U se the ARR O W pad to scroll through the list of landmarks.
19 continue this route by using the ARR O W pad to select a landmark as the destination for this leg or press ENTER to signal the GPS 300 that this was the last leg in the route and you are finished cr eating a route.
20 The first screen displayed is the ROUTE SUMMAR Y screen. This screen displays the start and end landmark for the entire route as well as the total distance of the route. U se the LEFT/RIGHT ARR O Ws to view the legs in the route. The leg screen displays the FR OM and TO landmark for the leg as well as the distance and bearing for the leg.
21 Deleting a Route With a route in memory , press MENU until ROUTE appears at the top of the display . P ress ENTER . While still viewing the Route S ummary screen, press the UP ARR O W three times until the display indicates PRESS ENT TO DELETE. P ress ENTER .
22 Activating a Leg in a Route As you are navigating you may decide that you no longer wish to continue on the leg that you are no w using. Instead you wish to use another leg of the route. Y ou will need to activate the leg of the route with the desired destination (T O land- mark).
23 Editing a Leg in a Route Pr ess MENU until R OUTE appears at the top of the display . Pr ess ENTER . U se the LEFT/RIGHT ARR O Ws until the leg you wish to edit is displayed. P ress the UP ARR O W until PRESS ENT T O EDIT is displayed and press ENTER .
24 Deleting a Leg Fr om a Route P ress MENU until R OUTE appears at the top of the display . P ress ENTER . U se the LEFT/RIGHT ARR O Ws to find the leg of the route that you want to delete. P ress the UP ARR O W until PRESS ENT TO DELETE is displayed and press ENTER .
25 Additional Features Viewing the Time and Date Y ou can vie w the current time and date (obtained fr om the satellites) by repeatedly pressing the MENU key until TIME is displayed at the top of the screen.
26 Changing Coordinate Systems Y ou may change the coordinate system that your GPS 300 uses to display the position and landmarks coordinates. Y ou have the following options: LA T/LON using degree/ m.
27 Changing Map Datums If you are using a map (or chart) in conjunction with your GPS 300 you need to insure that the datum used by the GPS 300 matches the one used in creating the map . The map datum can usually be found in the legend box of the map or chart.
28 Changing Time Display and Time T o change the way that time is displayed (12 HOUR - default, 24 HOUR, or UT), repeatedly press MENU until SETUP is displayed at the top of the screen and pr ess ENTER . U se the RIGHT ARR O W until SETUP TIME is displayed.
29 Initializing the Receiver (EZST ART) If you desire to re-initialize the r eceiver , (for example, you have mov ed more than 300 miles since the last time the receiver was turned on) you can do so in the SETUP menu. Pr ess MENU until SETUP is displayed at the top of the screen and press ENTER .
30 Activating the Demo Mode T o turn on the Demo M ode, press MENU until SETUP is displayed at the top of the screen and pr ess ENTER . U se the RIGHT ARR O W until SETUP DEMO is displayed. T o toggle between ON or OFF , press ENTER . The present status, on or off, will flash.
31 T roubleshooting Does not turn on: 1. Check to insure that the batteries are installed corr ectly and that the battery terminals are clean. 2. Replace the batteries.
32 Destination P ointer does not point to the destination: 1. Note that much of the navigation information is based upon your mo vement. If you are standing still the navigation information (destination pointer , etc.) is not updated until you are mo ving.
33 Why won ’ t the r eceiver accept the coordinates higher than 59 seconds when I am inputting coordinates?.
34 Icons P rovides a visual indication of whether the receiv er is “locked” or “ unlocked” on satellite signals. While the tracking icon is displayed, the receiver is updating its position and can be used to save landmarks and as a navigation tool.
