Waypoint
Position coordinates as computed by the receiver.
A planned course of travel that is defined by a sequence of
waypoints. When active, the route is used in the calcula-
tion of all navigation data except position, speed over
ground and track/course over ground.
beginning and ending of a leg of a route.
Coordinate system using lines of position determined by
the Loran-C signals. Many coastal navigators use TDs
because Loran is a familiar radio aid navigation and TDs
are clearly marked on their charts. Your Magellan receiver
can display position coordinates in TDs by converting from
LAT/LON.
The estimated time for the receiver to reach the destina-
tion from its current position based on the current VMG.
The direction to the geographical North Pole from an
observer's position. The north direction on any geographi-
cal meridian.
The actual path travelled, which may differ from the
planned course.
The track over a selected length of time.
Universal Time, formerly referred to as Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT).
Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) metric grid system
used on most large and intermediate scale land topo-
graphic charts and maps.
Velocity Made Good. The component of the velocity that
is in the direction of the destination.
A location saved in the unit's memory which is obtained by
entering data, editing data, calculating data or saving a
current position. Used to create routes.
