Special Terminology

Waypoints

A waypoint is similar to an address. An address uses the street name and number, the
city, and the state to define its location, while a waypoint uses imaginary lines drawn on
the globe (latitude and longitude) to pinpoint its location. They function the same, just
how they are defined is different.

Track

Track is a record of your travels. As you move across the land the Magellan CrossoverGPS
drops and records electronic breadcrumbs that represent your movement. When you look
at the map screen you will notice a dotted line showing you a history of how you travelled.
This dotted line is your track. Track is primarily used to create a backtrack route that
returns you to your starting point.

Backtrack

As explained above, the Magellan CrossoverGPS records your track while you are moving.
You can then create a route (called backtrack) that follows this track back to where you
started.

Goto

A goto is a route that tries to go in a straight line from your present position to a waypoint
or a point you have selected on the map.

Trip

A trip is a route with multiple legs or destinations. Suppose you want to leave your
basecamp and go to the bridge. From the bridge, you want to hike to a scenic spot you
found last trip. This would be a trip with two destinations (or two legs). You would use
the Magellan CrossoverGPS to create a trip that goes from your basecamp waypoint, to the
bridge waypoint, and finally to the scenic waypoint.
