Magellan GPS ColorTRAK User Manual

16 Magellan GPS ColorTRAK
Using the Position Screen
The POSITION screen displays the coordinates of your last computed
position and basic navigation data. You also have the option of viewing your
present position using another coordinate system.
Viewing Secondary Coordinate System from the POSITION Screen
Press the LEFT/RIGHT ARROWs and the
lower half of the screen changes to display
your present position in secondary coordinate
system. The datums that have been selected
under SETUP for each coordinate system are
also displayed. In the example shown, we are
using the WGS84 datum for our LAT/LON
coordinates and NAD27 datum for the UTM
coordinates.
Automatic Averaging in the POSITION Screen
Automatic averaging gives you greater position accuracy. When navigating,
your GPS ColorTRAK takes position fixes, however, when you are station-
ary, at zero speed, the receiver begins averaging mode. Once you begin
moving, position averaging ends and the receiver begins displaying instanta-
neous position fixes while you navigate.
