WARNINGS

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 GPS 315/GPS 320 1

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Magellan GPS 315/GPS 320

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 the items listed

on the box. If any of these items are missing, please contact your local

Magellan dealer or distributor.

Conventions Used in this 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.

The manual is to be used with either the GPS 315 or the GPS 320.

These differ in that the GPS 315 has a database of worldwide cities

consisting of major, large and medium cities. The GPS 320 has a

database of worldwide cities as well as lighthouses, fixed navaids, buoys,

large and medium cities for three different regions of the world (North/

Central/South America, Europe/Africa and Australia/Asia).
