Magellan GPS 315 User Manual - Page 30

Reference The Reference section contains information that will help you navigate using your receiver. Now that you have read the Basic Operation section, you have reviewed the basic usage. The Reference section will cover waypoints, routes, and auxiliary functions. The Working with Waypoints section tells you how to create, edit, delete, project and sort waypoints. These functions will guide you in the uses of waypoints. You can create your own waypoints (known as User waypoints) or use the waypoints already in the receiver's memory (NonUser waypoints). You can store up to 500 user positions which can be used to build routes for navigation. As stated earlier in the user manual, the GPS 315 has a database of worldwide cities and the GPS 320 has a database of cities and marine navaids for three different regions of the world: North/Central/South America, Europe/Africa and Australia/Asia. The Working with Routes section tells you of the four different types of routes consisting of GOTO, BACKTRACK, MOB and MULTI-LEG ROUTE. A route is a planned course of travel defined by a series of waypoints saved in the receiver's memory. The receiver holds 20 routes with 30 legs. The route function allows you to create, activate/deactivate, view/edit or delete any one of the 20 routes. The Auxiliary Function section tells you how to select the Sun/Moon and Fish/Hunt options, contrast, simulate mode and the alarms and message functions. You can choose from the Anchor alarm, Arrival alarm, XTE alarm, Proximity alarm and GPS Fix alarm. These alarms can be reset to the alarm default settings or can be cleared of defaults. Following, you will find the Customizing section. Customizing allows you to use the Setup menu to establish the options you would like to set in your receiver. 22 Magellan GPS 315/GPS 320
