vi Magellan MAP 330 GPS Receiver
Introduction Introduction Welcome and congratulations on your purchase of the Magellan MAP 330 GPS receiver. The MAP 330 has all the features that a sailor, fisherman, hiker, hunter, or any person involved with outdoor recreational activities has come to expect from a Magellan GPS receiver. In addition to these features, the MAP 330 offers the ability to display your location on detailed city maps providing you with a complete navigation tool that will last you for years to come.
Introduction Reference Guide: Here you will find step-by-step instructions for all of the features found in the MAP 330. This chapter is set up in a way that you can quickly and easily find the feature you are looking for. Frequently Asked Questions: This chapter is aimed at answering some of the more basic questions that you may have about your MAP 330, the global positioning system (GPS) and using the MAP 330 to its fullest.
Setting Setting Up Up the the MAP MAP 330 330 Setting up the MAP 330 is a simple three-step process: installing the batteries, attaching the wrist strap and initializing the MAP 330. The MAP 330 uses two AA batteries that are installed from the back through the battery cover. You can expect to get up to 10 hours of usage on two AA batteries with the backlight turned off. To remove the battery cover, turn the ring of the battery door screw counterclockwise until the battery cover can be removed.
Setting Up the MAP 330 The wrist strap attaches to the ring on the screw for the battery door cover. The picture below shows how the wrist strap should be attached.
Setting Setting Up Up the the MAP MAP 330 330 The final step in setting up the MAP 330 is to initialize the receiver for firsttime use. This will help your MAP 330 begin computing your position in the fastest manner possible. The reason for initialization is to speed up the process for computing the first position fix when the MAP 330 has no last position computed in memory (i.e., when the MAP 330 is brand new or memory has been cleared).
Setting Up the MAP 330 The MAP 330 displays a message box indicating that the receiver needs to be initialized. Press ENTER Use the Press to highlight your general region. ENTER Use the Press ENTER to highlight your area. . The cursor appears in the time field, waiting for you to input your local time. Set your local time using the arrow keys. Be sure that you set the AM/PM indicator.
Setting Setting Up Up the the MAP MAP 330 330 To use the arrow keys to edit a field, follow the simple diagram below. Editing moves the cursor block left or right. Pressing right arrow results in: increments the value up or down. Pressing up arrow results in: When the time is correct, press ENTER . The last piece of information needed is the date. Using the arrow keys, enter the present date. Press ENTER .
Setting Up the MAP 330 The Sat Status screen is displayed and the MAP 330 is now ready to be used. At this point you can begin using the MAP 330 beginning with the Basic Operation described in the next chapter or you can turn the MAP 330 off. To turn the MAP 330 off, press 8 .
Basic Basic Operation Operation For many of you this will be your first introduction into using a GPS receiver as a navigational tool. With all of the features and functions provided with the MAP 330, it may seem a bit intimidating at first. Don’t worry. There are only a few things you need to know to use the MAP 330. They will be discussed here in detail. Other features and functions can be found in the Reference Section of this manual. Quadrifilar Antenna IN - Zooms in the display of the Map screen.
Basic Operation External Connections Provides connection to external power and data handling devices. Pressure Relief Vent Battery Cover Power/Data Cable (purchased separately) - Allows access to the external connector for the MAP 330. See the section on Accessories for description of available cables. Battery Cover Screw and Wrist Strap Ring Tuning the MAP 330 On Press Press ENTER [You have 10 seconds to press ENTER accepting the displayed warning or the MAP 330 will shut off.
Basic Basic Operation Operation Turning the MAP 330 Off Pressing the ON/OFF button again will turn off the MAP 330 immediately. Press Pressing ESC key will cancel the power down sequence. Shutdown Screen displayed The display backlight can be set to one of three levels (low, high or off ).
Basic Operation Because the MAP 330 attains information it needs from satellites orbiting the earth, the antenna needs to have a relatively unobstructed view of the sky. This allows the MAP 330 to choose from all satellites currently available. If the view of the sky is poor, (large cliffs or buildings, heavy foliage or other obstructions) the satellite signals can be blocked and the receiver may take longer to compute a position fix.
Basic Basic Operation Operation In the Cursor Mode, you are provided with a cursor that can be moved on the map. At the bottom of the display is the information for the position of the cursor relative to your present position. Also any points of interest that the cursor is over will be shown. To access the Cursor Mode, press any arrow on the keypad. A crosshair appears that can be moved with the arrow keys. To return to the Position Mode, press ESC .
Basic Operation From any screen other than a navigation screen, pressing NAV returns you to the last navigation screen viewed. Note that if you are inputting data, pressing NAV will return you to the last navigation screen but your inputs will not be saved. While viewing any navigation screen, you can maneuver through the other screens following the sequence below. NAV Map Screen (Position Mode) ESC Map Screen (Cursor Mode) Compass Screen Lg.
Basic Basic Operation Operation A waypoint is a point on a map that you can name and save in the MAP 330. They are primarily used for creating routes. Whether the route is a simple GOTO or a more complex multileg route, it needs stored waypoints to use as its starting and destination point. Saving a Waypoint with a Receiver-Generated Name From any screen, press and hold MARK for 2 seconds and the Mark screen is displayed.
Basic Operation The Icon Select window is displayed. Use the arrow keypad to move from one icon to another with the name of the icon displayed at the top. As a reference tool, all of the icons and their names are listed in the Reference Chapter. When you have highlighted the icon you want to use, press ENTER . The cursor is now highlighting the Waypoint Name field. With the Name field highlighted, press ENTER . The input keyboard is displayed.
Basic Basic Operation Operation When you have the name the way you want it, highlight “OK” and press ENTER . You are returned to the Mark screen with the new name displayed. Entering a Message Any waypoint can have a message assigned to it. This comes in handy in further identifying the waypoint. If this was a waypoint for a friend’s house or business, you could add a phone number or any other information that you find useful. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight the Message field and press ENTER .
Basic Operation A GOTO route is simply a route with a start point and a single destination point; I am here and I want to go to there. All that is required to create a GOTO route is having the destination waypoint saved in memory. This waypoint can be one that you have saved earlier (which is stored in your User Waypoint List) or any of the landmarks that come with the MAP 330 in its built-in database. For example, suppose you parked your car and planned on going hiking for about an hour.
Basic Basic Operation Operation The example shown here is a sample of a City Waypoint List. This is a sample of a Nearest City Waypoint list for Magellan. Your screen will look different. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight your choice of waypoint to be your destination and press ENTER . The GOTO route is now active and you are returned to the last viewed navigation screen.
Basic Operation Since we are looking for Los Angeles, we need to repeat pressing the UP key until the letter “L” is displayed in the cursor. The City Waypoint list would look like this. This is pretty good as now the listing shows the cities beginning with the letter “L”, but we can get even closer. Press the RIGHT arrow once. The cursor has moved to the second character in the list. Press the UP arrow until the letter “O” is in the cursor.
Basic Basic Operation Operation You can now select Los Angeles from the list by pressing ENTER . The first city in the list is now highlighted. Use the DOWN arrow to highlight Los Angeles. With Los Angeles highlighted, it can be selected as the destination of the GOTO route by pressing ENTER . You are now sent to the last NAV screen that was viewed. The GOTO route has been activated and you are ready to begin navigating on the route.
Basic Operation GOTO routes are NOT saved in memory when the MAP 330 is turned off. If you are navigating on a GOTO route and you need to turn the MAP 330 off, you will need to restart the GOTO. Routes, however, are stored in memory. If you need to make a GOTO but expect to turn the MAP 330 off before arriving, you might consider making a 1-leg route using the route menu. More information on routes can be found in the Reference chapter of this manual.
Reference Turn the MAP 330 On — Applies power to the MAP 330 and displays last NAV screen viewed.

Frequently Asked Questions General What is the difference between degrees/minutes/seconds (DEG/MIN/SEC) and degrees/minutes/minutes (DEG/MIN/MMM or DEG/MIN/MM)? There are different ways in expressing the coordinates computed using Lat/Lon coordinate system. With DEG/MIN/SEC the final set of numbers (SEC) is expressed as 0-59 while DEG/ MIN/MM expresses the same value as 0-99 and DEG/MIN/ MMM is from 0-999.
Frequently Frequently Asked Asked Questions Questions Time Format and re-select the time format you are using unless you are using UTC. After selecting the format you will be given the opportunity to change the time. How long can I expect my MAP 330 to run on a fresh set of batteries? Under normal operating conditions you should get up to 10 hours of use while the display backlight is turned off. This duration will drop significantly if you use the display backlight.
Frequently Asked Questions Can I delete preloaded waypoints that I don’t use? No. Waypoints that are preloaded into the MAP 330 will always be available, even when all of the MAP 330’s memory has been cleared. Navigation Screens Why does my compass not point in the right direction? The MAP 330 is not a compass. It must be moving at a minimum of 2.0 mph for the compass to compute the direction properly. Routes What is a backtrack route? A backtrack route allows you to “retrace” your steps.
Frequently Frequently Asked Asked Questions Questions Output Data What is NMEA? NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) is the standard used for interfacing marine electronic devices. This standard has also been adapted for use in a variety of third-party mapping software programs. What are the NMEA message strings?
