Landmark A location saved in the unit's memory which is obtained by entering data, editing data, calculating data or saving a current position. Used to create routes. Latitude The angular distance north or south of the equator measured by lines encircling the earth parallel to the equator in degrees 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) landmark and a destination (TO) landmark. A route may consist of 1 or more legs. A route that is from landmark A to landmark B to landmark C to landmark D has three legs with the first being from landmark A to landmark 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 toward the north magnetic pole from the observer's position. Position Fix Position coordinates as computed by the GPS 300. 39

Landmark
A location saved in the unit’s memory which
is obtained by entering data, editing data,
calculating data or saving a current position.
Used to create routes.
Latitude
The angular distance north or south of the
equator measured by lines encircling the earth
parallel to the equator in degrees from 0
°
to
90
°
.
LAT/LON
Coordinate system using latitude and longi-
tude coordinates to define a position on the
earth.
Leg (Route)
A segment of a route that has a starting
(FROM) landmark and a destination (TO)
landmark.
A route may consist of 1 or more
legs.
A route that is from landmark A to
landmark B to landmark C to landmark D has
three legs with the first being from landmark
A to landmark 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 toward the north magnetic pole
from the observer’s position.
Position Fix
Position coordinates as computed by the
GPS 300.
