Frequently Asked Questions Navigation Screens Why does my compass not point in the right direction? The Meridian computes direction by comparing your present position to the last position taken, it requires that you be moving to compute your compass heading. Furthermore, to eliminate error, you must be moving at a minimum of 2.0 mph. The exception is the Meridian Platinum, which has an electronic compass which will compute the compass heading below 2.0 mph. This includes computing your compass heading while you are standing still. Routes What is a backtrack route? A backtrack route allows you to "retrace" your steps. As you are moving, the Meridian automatically creates and stores hidden waypoints into memory. These waypoints are the ones that the Meridian will use to retrace your steps. When you create a backtrack route, the Meridian converts these hidden waypoints into User Waypoints. How do I know which route is active? Access the route menu by pressing the MENU button and select the option Routes. The route menu lists all of the routes in memory with the active route displayed in bold characters. Alarms Why does my Meridian not make an audible beep when I have an alarm active? Check your setup settings for the Beeper. If the selection is Off or Keys Only, the beeper will not sound for alarms. 76 Magellan Meridian GPS Receiver
