Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Magellan GPS 315/GPS 320 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.
GPS 315/320 Receiver Quadrifilar antenna The QUIT key cancels the operation of the last key press and can be used to back through the NAV screens. The NAV key accesses the navigation screens. The MARK key creates waypoints and stores the current position. The ENTER key confirms data entries or menu selections. The GOTO key creates a direct route to any waypoint stored in memory. The MENU accesses waypoint, route and setup functions. The LIGHT key turns the light on and off.
Getting Started This section shows you how to use your receiver for the first time and explains: • Accuracy • • • Battery Installation Primary Usage Getting a Fixed Position Receiver Accuracy The satellite constellation that provides the GPS information used by the receiver is maintained by the Department of Defense (DoD). GPS positioning, for general use, provides 25 meter RMS accuracy or better.
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.
Selecting Primary Usage A screen will be displayed asking your primary use for your receiver, MARINE or LAND. The default is MARINE. ENTER You have completed the Initialization. The STATUS screen will appear on your receiver. 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. Saving Your Position with a Receiver-Created Name.
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.

Connecting to DGPS For the DBR (differential beacon receiver) that has a DB9 connector on the housing, the pinout is: Pin 2: Data out to GPS Pin 3: Data in Pin 5: Sig. GND 5 9 1 6 To use the PC interface cable to interface the GPS receiver with the DBR-2 or DBR-3, you must use a null modem (Radio Shack P/N: 26-264A) and a gender changer (Radio Shack P/N: 26-280A) to connect the GPS receiver properly. This is due to the pinout being the opposite of the DB9 connector configuration for a PC connection.
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.
Commonly Asked Questions Does the receiver adjust itself for daylight savings time? No. You need to reset the time for changes in your area (see Selecting Time Format). Will my receiver function correctly in the year 2000? Yes. Even though the last two digits of the year are displayed, the full year designator is stored in memory.
