Welcome fr om the Magellan crew . W ith the purchase of a Magellan GPS satellite r eceiver , you have joined the thousands of people who enjoy using GPS in their professional and r ecre- ational activities.
1 Introduction Y our Magellan GPS receiver has the advanced navigation featur es that experienced navigators expect, yet is simple enough for the novice navigator . This manual is broken up into four chapters; Introduction, Getting Started, Reference , and Appendix.
2 Conventions Used In This Manual W ARNING: W ar ning messages will occur to alert you to potential problems that may be encounter ed if you do not follow the directions car efully . NOTE: Note messages are shown to pr ovide important informa- tion that will assist you in understanding your Magellan receiver and its operation.
3 Getting Started General Description The Meridian XL is a self-contained hand-held GPS receiver designed for general purpose position locating and navigation. It has a removable quadrifilar antenna located on the upper right side of the receiver , a high- contrast backlit LCD, and keypad.
4 Receiver Accuracy . Before beginning, just a few words on the accuracy of your receiver . The satellite constellation used to provide the GPS information that your receiver uses was put into orbit and is maintained by the Department of Defense (DoD) for use by the U.
5 First Time Use - Initializing the Receiver Y ou do not need to initialize your r eceiver each time you use it. Follow these steps to initialize the Meridian XL if this is the first time you are using it, if the r eceiver memory has been cleared or if the r eceiver has been transported more than 300 miles while turned off.
6 If you inadvertently press another key without initializing manually , the receiver displays the POSITION scr een with null values for the latitude and longitude (00 ° 00.00N, 000 ° 00.00W). In this case, the receiver will self-initialize, which may take 15 minutes or more.
7 If this is not the first time you have used your receiver , or if it is the first time but your receiver has alr eady begun acquiring satellite signals, the following time and date entry may not be displayed. Input your local time. T ake extra care to input the time corr ectly (to within 10 minutes), including the AM/PM designator .
8 Press the UP ARROW . Notice that the highlighted number has incremented by one. Keep pr essing the UP ARROW until the first digit matches the first number you found for latitude. If you go past the number you want, you can use the DOWN ARROW to step down or continue using the UP ARROW and loop through the number sequence.
9 The receiver will pr ompt you for your local elevation, time and date. Use the UP/DOWN and RIGHT/ LEFT ARROWs to enter these as described above; press ENTER to confirm each screen. The receiver is now r eady to perform one of its primary functions, providing you with your curr ent position.
10 T aking your First Fix T o get a position fix, you must be outside with a clear view of the sky and away from any large obstructions (buildings, large tr ees, etc.
11 Press NAV or PLOT (which will take you to a NA V or PLOT screen if you ar e not already ther e), then press ENTER, highlight SA VE POS and press ENTER.
12 Selecting CREA TE WPT instead of SA VE POS will allow you to enter a waypoint exactly as described above with the additional option of changing the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the position. (See Creating W aypoints) Press the RIGHT ARROW .
13 Introduction to Routes A route is a planned course of travel defined by a series of waypoints. T o create a r oute, you select waypoints that you have stored in the r eceiver ’ s memory . These waypoints are then connected to form the segments or “ legs ” of the route.
14 If the receiver has not yet computed a position fix, then the star t of the GOTO may not repr esent your current position. It will, however , correct the navigation information after a position fix is acquired. Creating a GOTO Route After computing a position fix, pr ess GOTO .
15 Refer ence Section This section explains the various functions of your receiver and is organized by function or topic rather than by menu. T o perform a given function, refer to the T able of Contents and the Menu Cr oss Reference Guide in or der to quickly locate that section.

69 Coordinate Systems Positions are locations that ar e described in a unique way so that one locations cannot be confused with another . This is done by using a coordinate system to describe locations.
70 UTM coordinates ar e easy to use, but since the model it is based on is somewhat abstract, this section is a very simplified introduction to UTM. Instead of projecting an imaginary grid of intersecting lines onto the globe, UTM projects sections of the globe onto a flat sur face.
71 TD Coordinate System. TDs ar e indicated on many nautical charts in addition to the LA T/LON marks. They are established lines of position (LOPs) that are determined by the dif ference in the length of time requir ed to receive Loran-C signals.
72 General Maintenance Meridian XL The Meridian XL is power ed by three AA batteries. It can also be power ed from an external DC power source by using the optional Power/Data Cable. Batteries We suggest using AA alkaline batteries to power the r eceiver .
73 External Power The Meridian XL can also be operated from an external DC power sour ce. This requir es the Power/Data Cable that is included with the optional mounting kit. (Even when operating from external power , the receiver must have batteries; the batteries will be used to maintain memory when the receiver is of f.

75 The Global Positioning System What Is GPS? GPS is a constellation of navigation satellites that orbit the earth. The precise time and position information transmitted by these satellites is used by a GPS receiver to triangulate a position fix.
76 Accuracy GPS positioning with an SPS receiver that is intended for general use will pr oduce accuracies of 25 meters or better . In fact, SPS receivers have pr oven to be far mor e accurate than anyone anticipated.
77 Mor e Information on GPS There ar e many sources for more information on GPS and navigation. The sources listed her e are just a few of the books, magazines, and Internet addresses that deal with GPS. Y our local library is a good source for technical books on GPS and navigation.
