Waypoints (user-created or preloaded in the map) will be displayed by their icons on the screen. A visual indication of your movements (track) is displayed on the map as an orange line with white dots. If the track has been saved, it appears as a blue dashed line (color is user customizable). Also, if you have a route activated, it is shown on the map as solid green lines. A pink line is also displayed that indicates the Position Destination Line. The Position Destination Line is a straight line displaying LOS (line of sight) from your current location to the next destination waypoint. A north indicator that rotates to indicate north from your present heading and the map scale (circled) is displayed in the bottom left corner. The header bar shows battery level, time of day and satellite signal strength. Data Fields. The Map screen can display up to four customizable data fields.

The Compass Screen

The Compass screen displays information about your heading (the direction you are travelling) and bearing (direction to your next waypoint destination if a route is active) in a familiar graphical format. Outside the compass are icons indicating the position of the sun and the moon relative to your position and heading. Inside the compass there are two arrows that can be displayed. The large green arrow is your heading and is displayed only while moving. The smaller, black arrow is the bearing to your next destination waypoint if you have a route activated. When the two arrows are lined up together, you are moving directly towards your destination. (Note that the compass will rotate relative to North.) The two data fields at the bottom of the display are customizable.

The Strip Compass Screen

Cross Track Error (XTE) Cross Track Error measures how far the user is off the trail or route. If no Go To or Route is set, this will appear blank or dashes. Elevation Elevation measures the height above or below Sea Level which is 0. Current Speed Current Speed measures how fast the user is travelling. Average Speed Average Speed calculates the average speed of the user. Maximum Speed Maximum Speed records the highest speed achieved by the user. Distance Made Good (DMG) Distance Made Good measures (in distance) the progress the user has made to a final destination point. This may be a negative distance if the user moves away from the target point. If no Go To or Route is set, this will appear blank or dashes. Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) Estimated Time of Arrival displays the time of day the user should arrive at a destination. If no Go To or Route is set, this will appear blank or dashes. Accuracy Accuracy calculates the margin of error the user can expect based on their satellite reception. The smaller the number is, the better the accuracy. Normally the accuracy is around 10-30 ft (310 m). Things that interfere with satellite reception may decrease the accuracy (increase the number) such as heavy canopies from trees, tunnels, tall buildings, canyons, broadcast satellites, and other GPS receivers too close in proximity. Velocity Made Good (VMG) Velocity Made Good calculates how fast the user is closing their distance to a destination point, not how fast the user is moving. If the user is traveling directly towards the destination point the number should match the Current Speed. If the user is travelling off the direct course to a final destination point, the number should reflect slower than the Current Speed because less actual progress is being made. If the user is moving away from the destination point, the numbers should be negative. If the user is standing still or moving around a consistent radius of the destination point, the number should be zero.
The Map screen is the most commonly used screen in the Magellan Triton and it has a special contextual menu that can access the commonly used functions. This makes understanding the Map screen and all of the functions that can be performed directly from this screen an important part of getting the most out of your receiver.

Waypoints

Waypoints are the key to navigating and creating routes. An understanding of waypoints and their use is important to get the most out of your Magellan Triton. In its simplest form, a waypoint is a point on the map. The Magellan Triton uses waypoints much the same as you use addresses to get from your home to your destination. With information on where you are and a waypoint of where you want to go, the Triton can provide the necessary information to get you there. The Magellan Triton has three different classifications for waypoints; User-Created, Place and Geocache waypoints. User-created waypoints are waypoints you define. This can be done by saving your current location, picking a point on the map or by entering waypoint coordinates. Place waypoints are waypoints that have been preloaded into the base map or one of the optional detail maps. You cannot add Place waypoints but you can use them when creating a route. Geocache waypoints are special waypoints that are used for geocaching. More information on geocache waypoints can be found in the chapter on geocaching, but they are used the same as user-created and place waypoints in creating a route.
Waypoint Detail Screen Overview
Whenever a waypoint is being created, the Waypoint Detail screen is displayed. This screen provides a way to enter data, modify existing data, add media or set alarm requirements for the waypoint. The Magellan Triton automatically assigns a name for the waypoint using the convention of WPxxxx for newly created waypoints. It is a good practice, and will avoid confusion later, if you enter a unique name for each waypoint. The Waypoint Details screen consists of three pages that can be accessed by pressing the PAGE / GO TO button.

Waypoint Information

Used to enter or modify data for the waypoint. This screen also provides information on the direction and distance to the waypoint from your current location. The green checkmark is for accepting the waypoint and saving it to the Triton memory.

Routes

There are three types of routes that are commonly used in the Magellan Triton, Go To route, Multileg route, and a Backtrack route. Backtrack routes are described in the chapter on the Map screen. A Go To route is the simplest route possible. It begins at your current location and goes to a single destination you select. This is often referred to as a single leg route. An example would be you are at your camp and want to go back to a scenic area you saved as a waypoint during your last hike. You would create a Go To route by selecting the waypoint for the scenic area as the destination. The Magellan Triton would then plot a straight line from your location to the destination waypoint and provide you with updated information as you travel to get you to your destination. As you hike, the Magellan Triton continuously updates the information giving you the best possible directions to get you to your destination. A Multileg route is a series of Go To routes strung together. Using the same scenario as above, only this time you want to go to get supplies first and you know the position of a bridge you need to cross. For this route it would go from your current location, to the store, to the bridge and finally to the scenic spot. This multileg route consists of three Go To routes. Once the route is activated, the Magellan Triton will begin providing navigation information to get you to the store. After arriving at the store it will automatically begin providing information to get you to the bridge, and then the scenic spot. Another useful feature of multileg routes is that they can be saved into memory and used over and over. Tip: If you want to save a single leg route into memory, use the Create Route function and create a route with one leg.

Places

Places are waypoints that are part of the base map that is installed in your Magellan Triton. These waypoints cant be deleted or duplicated but they can be used as the destination for a Go To route or a multileg route. Places are categorized as roads, world maps, waterways or city centers. When searching for a Place waypoint, you will need to select the category to narrow down the search. Place waypoints are also found in the optional mapping software available from Magellan. (Check the Magellan website at www.magellangps.com for availability of additional detailed maps.)
