Using The Position Screen; Viewing Secondary Coordinate System From The Position Screen; Automatic Averaging In The Position Screen - Magellan GPS Tracker User Manual

Using the Position Screen

The POSITION screen displays the coordinates of your last computed
position and basic navigation data. You also have the option of viewing your
present position using another coordinate system.

Viewing Secondary Coordinate System from the POSITION Screen

Press the LEFT/RIGHT ARROWs and the
lower half of the screen changes to display
your present position in secondary coordinate
system. The datums that have been selected
under SETUP for each coordinate system are
also displayed. In the example shown, we are
using the WGS84 datum for our LAT/LON
coordinates and NAD27 datum for the UTM
coordinates

Automatic Averaging in the POSITION Screen

Automatic averaging gives you greater position accuracy. When navigating,
your GPS Tracker takes position fixes, however, when you are stationary, at
zero speed, the receiver begins averaging mode. Once you begin moving,
position averaging ends and the receiver begins displaying instantaneous
position fixes while you navigate.
