Introduction Welcome 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 “Great Outdoors” rather than spending hours reading a User’s Manual. There are, however, a few items that you need to be familiar with so it is suggested that you follow along at least through the chapter on Basic Operation. Before you begin, make sure that your package includes the items listed on t

Getting Started Installing the Batteries The GPS 300 uses two AA alkaline batteries that are installed at the back of the receiver. 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, being sure to respect the polarities, and replace the + - battery cover. - + Replace the screw and turn the ring clockwise until the battery door is held in place securely.

The GPS 300 is designed to fit comfortably in your hand. Hold the receiver with the antenna towards the sky. Initializing the Receiver - EZStart Before using your GPS 300 for the first time, the receiver needs to know its approximate location. Using Magellan’s EZStart procedure, the GPS 300 will prompt you for the information it requires when you turn it on for the first time. You do not need to initialize your receiver each time you use it. Follow these steps to initialize the GPS 300 if this

completed the initialization process or have just turned your GPS 300 on, the GPS 300 will display the following screens in the order shown. 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. The number at the bottom right of the screen displays how many satellites are being tracked. After the GPS receiver has received positioning data from at least three sa

Basic Operation Saving a Position Fix Position fixes can be saved in memory for use later when you want to return to that position. Saved position fixes are referred to as landmarks or LMK. To save (mark) your current position press MARK . Receiver-Generated Name: The GPS 300 prompts you to enter a name or accept the receiver-generated name for this landmark. To accept the receiver-generated name (LM01 - LM99), press ENTER . User-Created Name: To create a name (up to four charac- ters), use t

Creating a Landmark To create a landmark at a location which is not your current position, use the same procedure as saving a position with the additional step of inputting different latitude/longitude coordinates. To create a landmark press MARK . The GPS 300 prompts you to enter a name or accept the receiver- generated name for this landmark. When the desired name is displayed at the top of the screen press ENTER . Use the ARROW pad to change the latitude and press ENTER to accept. Use the ARR

Viewing the Navigation Screens Without an Active Route. Without an active route the navigation screen displays your heading and the speed at which you are traveling. The lower portion of the screen displays a moving compass. The triangle at the top of the compass points in the direction you are traveling and the arrow points to north.

With an Active Route. When you have an active route the navigation screen still displays your heading and speed but also includes the bearing and distance to your destination. The moving compass is then replaced with steering informa- tion. You can use the graphical representation or the steering indicator to assist in directing you towards your final destina- tion.

A second navigational screen is also provided while you have an active route. This screen is very similar to the first screen except that the distance to the destination has been replaced with XTE (cross track error, the distance left or right that you are off course) and heading has been replaced with TTG (time to go). This screen provides you additional informa- tion to aid you in navigating to your destination. Second Navigation Screen with an Active Route (Steering) Cross Track Error Dista

Creating a GOTO Route The simplest form of a route is a one-leg route called a GOTO route (you are GOing TO a destination). This is routing you from your current position to a landmark stored in memory All that is required to create a GOTO route is that you have saved a landmark indicating the location of your destination. To create (activate) a GOTO Route: From any screen, press GOTO . The GOTO screen appears. To select a different landmark, use the LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS until the desired desti

If the receiver is not tracking sufficient satellites to compute a position fix, the start of the newly created GOTO route will be the last position computed, which may not be the current position. This GOTO route will remain the active route until a new GOTO route is created, a multileg route is activated, or the receiver is turned off. Turning off the receiver deactivates any GOTO route. Summary This completes the basic operation of the GPS 300. At this time it would be a good idea to put wh
