What is the difference between degrees/minutes/seconds (DEG/MIN/SEC) and degrees/minutes/minutes (DEG/MIN/MMM or DEG/MIN/MM)? There are different ways to express the coordinates computed using latitude/longitude coordinate system. With DEG/MIN/SEC the final set of numbers (SEC) is expressed as 0-59 while DEG/MIN/MM expresses the same value as 0-99 and DEG/MIN/MMM is from 0999. It would be the same as if you had one clock that expressed time as hour/minutes/seconds and another clock that expressed the same time as hours/minutes/decimals. The accuracy for any of the three is the same. When the time changes for daylight savings will the time in your GPS change automatically? No. The time transmitted by the satellites atomic clock is UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) and provides no correction for daylight savings. When daylight savings time changes (or when you move to a new time zone), you need to go into setup time format and reselect the time format you are using unless you are using UTC. After selecting the format you will be given the opportunity to change the time. What waypoints come preloaded on my MAP 330database?

Map330 Answer: Product: Map330, Map330M The Map 330 database contains cities, highways, airports, waterways, and national parks. Can I delete preloaded waypoints that I dont use? No. Waypoints that are preloaded into the MAP 330 will always be available, even when all of the MAP 330s memory has been cleared. Why does my compass not point in the right direction? For that you should be moving at a minimum of 2.0 mph for the compass to compute the direction properly. What is a backtrack route?
A backtrack route allows you to retrace your steps. As you are moving, the MAP 330 automatically creates and stores hidden waypoints into memory. These waypoints are the ones that the MAP 330 will use to retrace your steps. When you create a backtrack route, the MAP 330 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. Why does my MAP 330 and 330M 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. What can I do if the receiver will not turn on? 1. Check to see if the batteries are installed correctly. 2. Replace with two new AA alkaline batteries. My GPS takes more than 10 minutes to get the position. What can I do? If there are any obstacles nearby or overhead, move to a new location. Make sure that the antenna is pointing up, has a clear view of the sky and is a reasonable distance away from your body. Check satellite status screen to see where the satellites are and if the receiver is acquiring data. If the receiver still does not get a position fix within 10 minutes, you may wish to repeat the initialization procedure. Why does my GPS Receiver turn off unexpectedly?
Excessive static electricity Is a common cause for this problem. Turn the receiver back on and it should operate normally. Move the receiver to a new location to avoid a similar occurrence. Battery life seems shorter than it should be. What can I do? Make sure that you are using two AA alkaline batteries.Shorter life span of the batteries can be due to excessive use of the backlight. Turn the backlight off when not needed. Why do the position coordinates on my receiver not match the location on my map. Make sure that your receiver is set up to use the same datum as your map. The map datum is generally shown in the map legend. 2. Check your latitude/longitude format. Make sure that the format selected in coordinate system (DEG/MIN/SEC or DEG/MIN.MM) is in the same format as the map you are using. Why is the position on a map not exactly the position on a road? This could be caused by distance shifts to the map. Use map data for reference, but do not rely completely on it. What is the temperature range in my MAP 330 and MAP 330M? Operating 14F to 140F to (-10C to 60C) Storage -4F to 158F (-20C to 70C)

What is the function of the MapSend Street in my MAP 330?? The MapSend Streets CD allows you to load detailed street maps into your MAP 330. The maps supplied on the MapSend Streets CD contain full street detail of US cities. How do I check the trip odometer in my MAP 330 and MAP 330M?
Press the nav button to get the position screen. At the bottom of the page you can get the trip odometer. What is the difference between MAP 330 and MAP 330M? MAP 330M has fixed nvaids which include buoys, lighthouses, Marinas, and obstructions (wrecks, rocks, and so forth.). These navaids can be accessed through the database in the same manner that any other waypoint or map object can be accessed using the database function. Where is GOTO route stored?
GOTO routes are NOT saved in memory when the MAP 330 is turned off. If you are navigating on a GOTO route and you need to turn the MAP 330 off, you will need to restart the GOTO. Routes,
however, are stored in memory. If you need to make a GOTO but expect to turn your MAP 330 off before arriving, you might consider making a one-leg route using the route menu. More information on routes can be found in the reference chapter of this manual.
How do I check the battery life of MAP 330 and MAP 330M?
Press the nav button so that you can get the satellite status screen. This is where you can check the battery life indicator. How do I change the primary usage from land to marine?
As a default, the MAP 330 is in the land mode. From the Map screen press menu. Highlight map set up and press enter. Highlight primary usage and press enter. Use up/down arrows to select marine and press enter. Can I purchase a hard copy of the user manual? No. However ,you can download the user manual at no charge and print the pages that you need.

From any screen press

MENU ENTER
Use up/down arrows to highlight Contrast
The menu display may differ slightly depending upon which screen it was accessed from.
Use left/right arrows to adjust the contrast.
Because the MAP 330 attains information it needs from satellites orbiting the earth, the antenna needs to have a relatively unobstructed view of the sky. This allows the MAP 330 to choose from all satellites currently available. If the view of the sky is poor, (large cliffs or buildings, heavy foliage or other obstructions) the satellite signals can be blocked and the receiver may take longer to compute a position fix. You can observe the signal strength and the satellites being used on the Satellite Status screen (described in the next section). Holding the MAP 330. The receiver is designed to fit comfortably in your hand. Hold the MAP 330 in the palm of your hand with the antenna pointing towards the sky.
The MAP 330 has five navigation screens: Map screen, Compass screen, Large Data screen, Position screen and Sat Status screen. They will be described briefly here. More detailed information on the different screens can be found in the Reference chapter. Map Screen. The Map screen has two modes, position or cursor. In the position mode, your present position is indicated by the large arrow icon in the center of the display. If you are moving, the arrow will point in the direction that you are heading. At the bottom of the screen is the scale for the map displayed and two data fields that can be customized, or turned off, depending upon your needs.
In the Cursor Mode, you are provided with a cursor that can be moved on the map. At the bottom of the display is the information for the position of the cursor relative to your present position. Also any points of interest that the cursor is over will be shown. To access the Cursor Mode, press any arrow on the keypad. A crosshair appears that can be moved with the arrow keys. To return to the Position Mode, press

The cursor is now highlighting the Waypoint Name field. With the Name field highlighted, press ENTER. The input keyboard is displayed. The very top of the keyboard window shows you what field you are changing, in this case the Name field. You can now use the arrow keypad to select the character you wish to enter. With the character highlighted press ENTER and the character is appended to the name you are entering and displayed in the field above the keys. (Waypoint names can be up to 8 characters in length.) Highlighting Back and pressing entered. Highlighting Clear and pressing

at any time.
Is there a limit to the number of waypoints I can store in the MAP 330? Yes, the MAP 330 will store up to 500 user waypoints in memory. However, the MAP 330 will only allow messages to be created for 200 waypoints. If you should ever get that many and need to input more, you will have to delete ones that you no longer need to make room.
A GOTO route is simply a route with a start point and a single destination point; I am here and I want to go to there. All that is required to create a GOTO route is having the destination waypoint saved in memory. This waypoint can be one that you have saved earlier (which is stored in your User Waypoint List) or any of the landmarks that come with the MAP 330 in its built-in database. For example, suppose you parked your car and planned on going hiking for about an hour. And suppose that when you are done with your hike you want directions for getting back to your car. Its all very simple. First, at the location you parked your car you would use the MAP 330 to compute that position and then you would save that position with a name like Parked. After your hike, you can use the GOTO function (described following this section) and select Parked as your destination from the User Waypoint List. The MAP 330 will then guide you back to your car.

Press GOTO. The first thing that has to be done is to select the destination waypoint. This is done by accessing the waypoint database. The first screen is used to select the category of the database that the waypoint is in and how it will be found, alphabetically or nearest to your position or cursor.
Selecting a Destination Waypoint from the Database using Near Position Use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight the category that your destination waypoint is in. Use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to select how the waypoints are displayed, Alphabetical, Near Position or Near Cursor. In this case, you will be using Near Position.
The example shown here is a sample of a City Waypoint List. This is a sample of a Nearest City Waypoint list for Magellan. Your screen will look different. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight your choice of waypoint to be your destination and press ENTER.
The GOTO route is now active and you are returned to the last viewed navigation screen.
Selecting a Destination Waypoint from the Database using Alphabetical Highlight any category, other than User, and use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to select a Find By of Alphabetical. Press ENTER. In this example, Cities was selected and this is how the screen appears. This is a very long list and using the UP/DOWN arrows to find the right waypoint could take a long time. To speed up the process of finding a waypoint in the list, the MAP 330 offers you a way of jumping to the area of the list where the waypoint you want can be found. For example, suppose your destination was to be Los Angeles. Press the UP arrow once. Notice that the first letter in the cursor has changed to a B. The list has also jumped to the first city that starts with the letter B.
Since we are looking for Los Angeles, we need to repeat pressing the UP key until the letter L is displayed in the cursor. The City Waypoint list would look like this. This is pretty good as now the listing shows the cities beginning with the letter L, but we can get even closer.
Press the RIGHT arrow once. The cursor has moved to the second character in the list. Press the UP arrow until the letter O is in the cursor. (Note that the MAP 330 skips over letters that have no corresponding waypoint in the list. Since no city begins with LB, it skipped past LB and looked for a city that, starts with LC and so on. This takes a little time so press the UP arrow and wait as this process may take a second to do.)
Press the RIGHT arrow again and use the UP arrow to select S in the cursor. Now you have gotten to a point on the list where you can see the city waypoint name for Los Angeles.
You can now select Los Angeles from the list by pressing ENTER. The first city in the list is now highlighted. Use the DOWN arrow to highlight Los Angeles.

Present Position Icon Track History
Map Scale Indicator Data Fields Present Position Icon The Present Position Icon graphically displays your position on the map. While you are moving it will point in the direction you are heading. If the MAP 330 is not computing positions, this icon is replaced with an hourglass icon. Map Scale Indicator Provides the scale for the map. The number displayed represents approximately 1/4 of the screens width. Scale can be changed with the IN and OUT buttons. Track History Dotted line on the map displays the history of where you have travelled since the last time you cleared the Track History (see Clear Memory in the Reference Chapter.) Data Fields These fields display navigational information for viewing on the Map screen. They are both customizable with 13 data types possible. Both of the data fields can be turned on or off allowing more viewable map area. Both features (customize and turning the data on/off) can be accessed from the MENU button. Optionally, using the customize function, the data fields can be replaced with the name of the street or intersection you are presently on.

Message

Searching - 1st sat Searching - 2nd sat Searching - 3rd sat

Description

Searching for 1st satellite. 1st satellite found; searching for 2nd satellite Two satellites are being tracked and searching for a third.

Searching - 4th sat

Three satellites are being tracked and searching for the fourth.

Collecting Data

All satellites needed for position fix are being tracked and position is being computed.

Averaging

MAP 330 is computing fixes; speed is near 0.0 so position is being averaged.

EPE xxft

Estimated Position Error in feet. MAP 330 is computing fixes while moving.
Computed fixes are being differentially corrected.
Since the MAP 330 is a 12-channel receiver, once the first satellite is found, finding the remaining satellites and computing a fix may take only a few seconds.
The Satellite Status screen visually displays the satellites being used and the strength of the received signal. Additionally, this screen displays the power source you are connected to and, if internal batteries, how much battery life is remaining. This is a very handy screen when you wish to view how well your MAP 330 is tracking satellites.

GOTO routes are not saved in memory. When you turn your MAP 330 off and then back on, the GOTO route is gone. You need to create a new GOTO route if you intend on completing the route. Also note that when you are selecting the Waypoint Category you are being instructed to select the Find By. You can select only those waypoints in your general vicinity (Nearest) or all of the waypoints in the category in alphabetical order (Alphabetical). Creating a Backtrack Route Creates a route using track information stored in the MAP 330 to retrace your steps. A good example of using a backtrack would be if you were out hiking or jogging with your MAP 330 turned on and computing position fixes. After 30 minutes you choose to return to where you started, following the same route you just took. All you need do is follow the instructions below and let the MAP 330 take you there.

Initializing the MAP 330 Enables you to initialize the MAP 330 should it be needed to speed up satellite acquisition. Two such instances would be travelling over 500 miles with your MAP 330 turned off or complete loss of memory.

Output Data What is NMEA? NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) is the standard used for interfacing marine electronic devices. This standard has also been adapted for use in a variety of third-party mapping software programs. What are the NMEA message strings? The MAP 330 supports version 1.5 and 2.1 of the NMEA 0183 standard. Additional information on NMEA can be found at on the internet at www.nmea.org, where you can purchase the NMEA Interface Standards. Another excellent source for NMEA standards is a FAQ sheet that is published on the internet by Peter Bennett at vancouver-webpages.com/peter/nmeafaq.txt. My GPS is not communicating with my computer. What can I do? Check your baud rate and check the baud rate that your software is using. If they dont match, change either the softwares or the MAP 330s baud rate (See Setup - Changing the Baud Rate.) Can I interface my MAP 330 with a Macintosh computer? Magellan does not supply cabling or software for the Macintosh line of computers. For information on a cable or software that may meet your requirements, visit GPSy at www.gpsy.com on the internet.
Receiver will not turn on: 1. 2. 1. 2. 3. 4. Check to see if batteries are installed correctly. Replace with two new AA alkaline batteries. If there are any obstacles nearby or overhead, move to a new location. Make sure that the antenna is pointing up, has a clear view of the sky and is a reasonable distance away from your body. Check Satellite Status screen to see where the satellites are and if the receiver is acquiring data. If the receiver still does not get a position fix within 10 minutes, you may wish to repeat the initialization procedure. This is commonly is caused by excessive static electicity. Turn the receiver back on and it should operate normally. Move the receiver to a new location to avoid a similar occurrence. Battery life seems shorter than it should be: 1. 2. Make sure that you are using two AA alkaline batteries. Shorter life span of the batteries can be due to excessive use of the backlight. Turn the backlight off when not needed. Make sure that your receiver is set up to use the same datum as your map. The map datum is generally shown in the map legend. See Setup Changing the Map Datum under Reference for instructions on selecting the map datum in your receiver. Check your LAT/LON format. Make sure that the format selected in COORDINATE SYSTEM (DEG/MIN/SEC or DEG/MIN.MM) is in the same format as the map you are using. It could be caused by distance shifts to the map. Use map data for reference and do not rely completely on it. Data was not saved or was corrupted. This can be caused because you removed the batteries or removed external power with the MAP 330 turned on.
