Information Information About Satellite Navigation Global satellite navigation is an exciting technology, providing enhanced productivity and accuracy in a vast number of industries. It adds a new level of enjoyment and safety to a wide range of navigation, sports, and recreational activities.
Information using signal corrections from a network of ground stations and fixed-position satellites known as WAAS (Wide-Area Augmentation System). Throughout Europe a similar system, EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System), provides the same accuracy. In Asia, satellite navigation-signal correction is provided by MSAS (Multi-functional Transport Satellite-Based Augmentation System).
Information continuously review, correct, and improve upon their map data. We release new versions of our maps on a regular basis to reflect these changes. After processing the data, we test the compatibility of the map with our GPS devices to ensure that the products we release work properly on our GPS devices. We also beta-test our products to get customer feedback prior to release. GPS Maps and Your Safety Remember, your GPS device is an aid to navigation.

POI Manager POI Manager Overview The Magellan RoadMate 760 comes with Magellan RoadMate POI Manager Software. This allows you to add custom POIs to your Magellan RoadMate. You can add things such as friends’ houses and other favorite places that are not in the installed database. POIs are easier to search for than street addresses and show up on the Map screen. The POI Manager adds POIs based on Latitude, Longitude, and a name. Other information such as altitude and a description are optional.
POI Manager Longitude Conversely, longitude lines can be expressed by dividing Earth into vertical segments totalling 360 degrees. Starting at the Prime Meridian (which is The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England), or zero degrees Longitude, lines are drawn in 10degree increments 180 degrees to the West and 180 degrees to the East. If your location is on the western hemisphere, you are at a West Longitude.
POI Manager Altitude Each location also must have an Altitude. Altitude is expressed by how far the point is above or below the level of the ocean, or Sea Level. For example, Los Angeles, California is about 92 meters above sea level. Death Valley, California is about 82 meters below sea level.
POI Manager Installation Insert the POI Manager CD into your PC’s CD drive. The setup application will begin automatically. If it does not, browse your computer’s CD drive and double-click on the setup.exe file. Select a default language for the Application.
