Magellan 100 User Manual

The 

Position screen provides detailed position information in a text format that is familiar to

seasoned navigators.  

Highlights of the 

Position screen:

• Position is displayed in textual format using the coordinate system selected.  (See

Setting Coordinate System for information on how to select the coordinate system.)

• Elevation information is displayed.  (Accurate when four or more satellites are being

used to compute the position.)

• Computed accuracy of the position computed is displayed.  WAAS is also displayed in

the Accuracy field when the eXplorist is using WAAS information to increase the
accuracy of the position fix.

• Date and time are shown, automatically adjusted from time information supplied from

the atomic clocks in the GPS satellites.

• A resettable trip odometer to keeps track of the distance you’ve travelled.

• A graphical battery indicator provides you with information on the current condition of

the AA batteries in the eXplorist.
