How to fix a Magellan Blazer12 GPS that does not turn on?
If your Magellan GPS does not turn on: * Check to ensure the batteries are installed correctly and that the battery terminals are clean. * Replace the batteries.
Why won’t the Magellan Blazer12 receiver accept coordinates higher than 59 seconds?
The most common reason the Magellan GPS receiver won’t accept coordinates higher than 59 seconds is that you're attempting to input coordinates in degrees/minutes while your receiver is set to degrees/minutes/seconds. In degrees/minutes, the last two digits are in hundredths (00-99), but in degrees/minutes/seconds, the value cannot exceed 59 (00-59). Entering a number greater than 59 in deg/min/sec will result in an error.
What to do if Magellan Blazer12 GPS position coordinates don't match the map?
If the position coordinates on your Magellan GPS receiver do not match the location on your map, take the following steps: * Ensure that your receiver is set up to use the same datum as your map. The map datum is usually shown in the map legend. * Check your LAT/LON format. Ensure that the format selected in COORDINATE SYSTEM (DEG/MIN/SEC or DEG/MIN.MM) matches the format of the map you are using.
What to do if my Magellan Blazer12 GPS takes too long to get a position fix?
If your Magellan GPS takes more than 10 minutes to get a position fix, try the following: 1. If there are large obstacles nearby, move to a location with a clear view of the sky and turn the receiver back on. 2. Make sure the antenna is pointing up and is a reasonable distance from your body. 3. Check that the time is correct. If not, reset the time. 4. If the receiver still doesn't get a position fix within 10 minutes, repeat the EZSTART initialization procedure.
