Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Magellan SporTrak GPS receiver. Since introducing the world’s first commercial, hand-held GPS receiver in 1989, Magellan has led the way with innovative GPS products to meet a wide range of positioning and navigation needs. The receiver is designed to get you out into the “Great Outdoors” rather than spending hours reading the user’s manual. In order to get you outdoors quickly, the manual is designed with key sequences rather than wordy sentences.
SporTrak GPS Receiver QUIT key cancels the operation of the last key press and can be used to back through the NAV screens. NAV key accesses the navigation screens. MARK key creates waypoints and stores the current position. LIGHT key turns the display backlight on and off. 2 ENTER key confirms data entries or menu selections. GOTO key creates a direct route to any waypoint stored in memory. MENU accesses waypoint, route and setup functions. POWER key turns the receiver on and off.
Getting Started This section shows you how to use your receiver for the first time and explains: • Battery Installation • Primary Usage • Getting a Fixed Position Installing the Batteries The Magellan SporTrak uses two AA batteries that are installed from the bottom through the battery cover. You can expect to get up to 15 hours of usage on two AA batteries with the backlight turned off. To remove the battery compartment, loosen the retaining screw at the bottom of the battery compartment.
Proper Handling - Signal Reception Clear View of the Sky. Because the receiver attains information it needs from satellites orbiting the earth, the antenna needs to have a relatively unobstructed view of the sky. This allows the receiver 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. Holding the Receiver.
Initialize Initialize for First Time Use The final step in setting up the SporTrak for the first time is to initialize the receiver . This will help your SporTrak 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 SporTrak has no last position computed in memory (i.e., when the SporTrak is brand new or memory has been cleared).
Key Layout Screen A screen is displayed showing the icons and text name for each key. When the SporTrak prompts you to press a key, it displays the text equivalent for the key icon. This screen should help you understand which key the SporTrak is prompting you to press. When you are done viewing this screen, press ENTER. Initialize Alert A screen is displayed informing you that the SporTrak is not initialized. Press ENTER to continue.
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: You are prompted to enter the elevation of your present position. Use the arrow keys to enter the elevation, if you know it. If you don’t know your elevation, press ENTER. The cursor appears in the time field, waiting for you to input your local time. Set your local time using the arrow keys.
The following chart shows the terminology that your receiver uses while in land or marine mode. For purposes of this manual, it will be assumed that the receiver is in the marine mode.
Getting a Fixed Position Now you should go outside in an area where you can get a clear view of the sky. The receiver will begin acquiring data from the satellites in view and will display the progress on the STATUS screen. Once the receiver has computed a fixed position, the POSITION screen will be displayed. Saving Your Waypoint Once the receiver has computed your current position, you may save (MARK) this position as a waypoint.
This completes the Getting Started section. The following Basic Operation section will familiarize you with the NAV screens and more detailed functions.
Basic Operation Entering Information Throughout this user manual there are some key presses that will be used often, so please keep them in mind while setting up and navigating.

The Reference section will cover waypoints, routes, and auxiliary functions. The Working with Waypoints section tells you how to create, edit, delete, project and sort waypoints. These functions will guide you in the uses of waypoints.
Working with Waypoints This section tells you how to edit, delete, project and sort waypoints. You can store up to 500 user positions which can be used to build routes for navigation. Waypoints consist of two types, User and Non-User. The User types are made up of waypoints that you can save in the receiver’s memory. You can edit and delete these waypoints, if you wish. The Non-User types display locations, their coordinates and a description.
As you are working with waypoints, you will notice that the cities (non-user waypoints) are divided into categories. This division is based on the population of the city using the following guidelines: Major city Large city Medium city Small city * 500,000+ 100,000 – 500,000 20,000 – 100,000 Less than 20,000 * available with DataSend CD.

Selecting Baud Rate Connection to external devices requires that the baud rate of the data being sent or received by the receiver be matched to the baud rate of the external device.
Troubleshooting Receiver will not turn on: 1. Check to see if batteries are installed correctly. 2. Replace with two new AA alkaline or lithium batteries. Takes more than 10 minutes to get a position fix: 1. If there are any obstacles nearby or overhead, move to a new location. 2. Make sure that the antenna is pointing up, has a clear view of the sky and is a reasonable distance away from your body. 3. Check Satellite Status to see where the satellites are and if the receiver is acquiring data. 4.
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 0999.
How often do I need to initialize the SporTrak? Initializing the SporTrak decreases the time it takes to get a position fix during cold start. What is meant by a cold start is that the SporTrak has no reference to use as a guide to tell it what satellites should be overhead. Without a reference to start with, the SporTrak will have to “search the sky” trying to find any satellite that may be in “view.” This takes time and can increase the time it takes to get its first position fix.
How do I know which route is active? Access the route menu by pressing the MENU button and select the option Routes. The route menu lists all of the routes in memory with the active route displayed in bold characters. Alarms Why does my SporTrak not make an audible beep when I have an alarm active? Check your setup settings for the Beeper. If the selection is Off or Keys Only, the beeper will not sound for alarms.
Contacting Magellan If after using the troubleshooting section, you are still unable to solve your operation problems, please call Magellan’s Technical Service at (800) 707-9971. Representatives are available Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 5 PM, PST. Faxes can be sent to Customer Service at (909) 394-7070.
