Introduction

Welcome to the Magellan GPS 300

Congratulations on your purchase of the Magellan GPS 300

satellite navigator. The GPS 300 is an easy-to-use GPS

receiver designed to get you out in the “Great Outdoors”

rather than spending hours reading a User’s Manual. There

are, however, a few items that you need to be familiar with so

it is suggested that you follow along at least through the

chapter on Basic Operation.

Before you begin, make sure that your package includes the

items listed on the GPS 300 box. If any items are missing or

damaged, contact your Magellan dealer or retailer.

GPS 300 Description

The GPS 300 is a self-contained hand-held GPS receiver

designed for general purpose position locating and navigation.

It has a built-in antenna located at the top of the receiver, a

backlit display, and keypad. Using two AA batteries, inserted

from the battery door found at the back of the receiver, the

GPS 300 will operate continuously for up to 24 hours.

The ENTER key

confirms data

entries or menu

selections.

The NAV key

accesses the

Position and

Navigation

screens.

The MARK key is

used to create

landmarks and store

the current position.

The LIGHT key turns

the light on and off.

The ARROW pad is used to

enter landmark names, and

scroll through the series of

screens and menu selections.

The MENU key is

used to access the

route, landmark and

setup functions.

The PWR key

turns the receiver

on and off.

The GOTO key is

used to create a

direct route to any

landmark stored in

memory.

Getting Started

Installing the Batteries

The GPS 300 uses two AA alkaline batteries that are installed

at the back of the receiver. To remove the battery cover, turn

the ring of the battery door screw counterclockwise until the

battery cover can be removed.

Insert the new batteries as

shown, being sure to respect the

polarities, and replace the

battery cover.

Replace the screw and turn the

ring clockwise until the battery

door is held in place securely.

You should avoid overtightening

the battery door screw.

The GPS 300 is designed to fit

comfortably in your hand. Hold

the receiver with the antenna

towards the sky.

Initializing the Receiver - EZStart

Before using your GPS 300 for the first time, the receiver

needs to know its appragellan’sr

4ENTER ELEVATION. Use the ARROW pad to enter

the approximate elevation for your position. If unknown,

leave the elevation at 0. Press

ENTER

5ENTER TIME. Use the ARROW pad to enter your

present time. Press

ENTER

6ENTER DATE. Use the ARROW pad to enter the date.

Press

ENTER

The GPS 300 then displays the POSITION screen and

automatically begins searching for satellites that it knows are

in this area for the date and time you entered.

The display shown here may differ

from yours depending upon the

information you selected in steps 2

and 3. As the GPS 300 scans the sky,

the arrow in the circle will swing

around pointing to a satellite and

displays, in the center of the circle,

that satellite’s elevation above the

horizon.

Computing a Position

The GPS 300 will begin to acquire information from the

satellites and use this information to compute your current

position (called a position fix). Whether you have just

completed the initialization process or have just turned your

GPS 300 on, the GPS 300 will display the following screens

in the order shown.

As the GPS 300 searches for satellites,

some of the small circles around the

large circle will become black indicating

that the GPS 300 is tracking that

satellite and receiving information. The

number at the bottom right of the

screen displays how many satellites are

being tracked.

After the GPS receiver has received

positioning data from at least three

satellites (approximately 2-3 minutes), it

will begin computing a position fix

based upon the information it is

receiving. As soon as a position fix is

computed, the receiver switches to the

navigation screen displaying the moving

compass. The word “TRACKING” is

displayed in the lower right corner indicating that the receiver

is computing position fixes.

Note: If the receiver has not acquired a position fix in

approximately 10 minutes, refer to the troubleshooting

section of this manual.

More information on these screens and the information they

display can be found in the next chapter.
