WARNINGS

FOR SAFETY REASONS, THE DRIVER SHOULD NOT USE THIS DEVICE IN A

VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION TO ASSIST THE DRIVER TO NAVIGATE.

Please do not try and change any settings on the SporTrak while driving. Come

to a complete stop or have your passenger make any changes. Taking your eyes

off the road is dangerous and can result in an accident in which you or others

could be injured.

USE GOOD JUDGEMENT

This product is an excellent navigation aid, but does not replace the need for

careful orienteering and good judgement. Never rely solely on one device for

navigating.

USE CARE

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government, which

is solely responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of GPS.

The accuracy of position fixes can be affected by the periodic adjustments to GPS

satellites made by the U.S. Government and is subject to change in accordance

with the Department of Defense civil GPS user policy and the Federal

Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry.

USE PROPER ACCESSORIES

Use only Magellan cables and antennas; the use of non-Magellan cables and

antennas may severely degrade performance or damage the receiver, and will

void the warranty.

Magellan SporTrak 1

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Magellan SporTrak GPS

receiver. Since introducing the world’s first commercial, hand-held GPS

receiver in 1989, Magellan has led the way with innovative GPS

products to meet a wide range of positioning and navigation needs.

The receiver is designed to get you out into the “Great Outdoors”

rather than spending hours reading the user’s manual. In order to get

you outdoors quickly, the manual is designed with key sequences rather

than wordy sentences.

Before you begin, make sure that your package includes all of the items

listed on the packing list. Magellan is a trademark name forThales

Navigation.

SporTrak User Manual

The manual is divided into chapters: Introduction,Getting Started,Basic

Operation,Reference,Customizing,Troubleshooting and Glossary.There

are also subchapters that describe NMEA, Datums and Accessories.

It is very important that you read through the Getting Started chapter

first as it prepares your receiver for use and provides basic instruction.

The Basic Operation chapter describes the features found in your

receiver including step-by-step instructions on their use.

The Reference section contains information to help you navigate using

waypoints, routes and auxiliary functions. Following is the Customizing

chapter, that allows you to establish options you want set in the receiver.

The Troubleshooting chapter gives you a problem and answer series to

guide you. The final chapter, Glossary, defines terms that may be

unfamiliar to you.
