Frequently Frequently Asked Asked Questions 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
