Warning: Important Notes This highly accurate navigation device should not be used as a substitute for traditional navigation methods. Never depend solely on this device for navigating. Connecting a GPS or DGPS receiver to a peripheral navigation device (auto-pilot, video plotter) should, under no circumstances, exempt the mariner from demonstrating prudence and keeping constant watch. Electronic charts such as the GPS are navigation aids that should, under no circumstances, be substituted for regulatory navigation methods. Only official nautical charts and notices to mariners contain all available safety information. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is managed by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The accuracy of the information provided by this GPS receiver depends entirely on the quality of the signals it receives. The accuracy of the calculations may thus be compromised by periodic adjustments to the GPS satellites made by the United States government and may change according to the U.S. Department of Defense's policy on private GPS use. Accuracy may also be compromised by poor satellite geometry. It is the user's responsibility to verify the number and position of satellites received. If satellite reception cannot be attained or becomes insufficient, the GPS receiver will no longer be able to calculate your position. The company Thales Navigation and its distribution network deny any liability for consequences resulting from poor signal reception quality. Thales Navigation recommends reading this manual before using the device. This manual simply outlines the use of this device and does not in any way make recommendations as to navigation techniques that should be adopted. Please use only the appropriate Magellan cables, antennas and accessories; otherwise, you may negatively affect the performance of your receiver or damage it, and the device will no longer be covered by the warranty. Thales Navigation and its distributors shall not be held responsible for any possible errors that may be contained in this manual, nor for any resulting damage, even minor, to person or property, related to the supply, functioning or use of this equipment.

Note: For first time use, the GoTo function will work only after the unit calculated a position fix. Waypoint Select this action and push Enter to display the list of all your waypoints. Choose a waypoint using the button and push Enter to make it your destination waypoint. The name of the selected waypoint is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Advice: To quickly access a desired waypoint, enter the first letter(s) of its name in the active field. The list is updated with all the waypoint names that begin with that or these letter(s). Nearest Waypoint Select this action and push Enter to display the list of 8 waypoints that are closest to your current position. These 8 waypoints are displayed in distance from your current position order. button and push Enter to make it your Choose a waypoint using the destination waypoint. The name of the selected waypoint is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Create a Waypoint Select this action and push Enter to create a new waypoint See Waypoint Menu. Route Select this action and push Enter to display the list of all your routes.
Choose a route using the button and push Enter to make it your active route. The name of the first destination waypoint in the route is displayed at the bottom of the screen. When activating a route, your FX324 MAP assumes that your current position is at or near the position of the first waypoint in the route (i.e. your vessel is at the beginning of the route). Consequently the first destination waypoint is not the first waypoint in the route but the second one. If your current position at the moment you activate the route is different from the position of the first waypoint and you want to make it mandatory in your journey, you must first do a GoTo Waypoint to the first waypoint in the route and then activate the route once you have reached it. In the following example, your route is made of three waypoints: A, B and C. Point X is the current position of your vessel. When activating the route, the destination waypoint is waypoint B and A is considered as your starting point The dotted line XB is the mobile to waypoint line, AB is the direct line and XZ is your cross track error.
If you want to go through waypoint A, you must do a GoTo waypoint A and then activate the route once you have reached waypoint A. In Route mode, the device automatically advances to the next waypoint when the distance to the current destination waypoint becomes less than the distance programmed for the arrival alarm, or when the vessel has passed the line that commands this advance. See Navigation Menu to configure the waypoint arrival alarm and Moving to the Next Waypoint in a Route.

The black line represents the direction to follow to reach the destination waypoint. It pivots according to the difference between your course and the bearing to the destination waypoint. It moves horizontally according to your cross track error (XTE). To reach your destination waypoint, you must navigate such that the line remains in the center, pointing to the top of the screen. The icon representing the waypoint is displayed when the distance remaining to be traveled (expressed in kilometer) is less than the value of the zoom scale. For example, in the screen above, the waypoint icon is
displayed because the distance remaining is less than 1 kilometer. The destination waypoint icon moves toward the bottom of the screen as you approach it. Use the Z+ and Z- buttons to change the zoom scale. There are five possible scales: 0.25: The length of the road represents a maximum of 0.25 kilometer. The destination waypoint icon is displayed at the end of the road if the distance remaining is less than 0.25 kilometer. 0.5: The length of the road represents a maximum of 0.5 kilometer. The destination waypoint icon is displayed at the end of the road if the distance remaining is less than 0.5 kilometer. 1: The length of the road represents a maximum of 1 kilometer. The destination waypoint icon is displayed at the end of the road if the distance remaining is less than 1 kilometer. 2: The length of the road represents a maximum of 2 kilometers. The destination waypoint icon is displayed at the end of the road if the distance remaining is less than 2 kilometers. 4: The length of the road represents a maximum of 4 kilometers. The destination waypoint icon is displayed at the end of the road if the distance remaining is less than 4 kilometers. Note: You must always check to make sure there are no obstacles in the direct line between your point of departure and your destination waypoint. When the deviation between your course and the bearing to follow is very big, an arrow appears, indicating the direction in which you should travel.
