1. Introduction
Your FX324 MAP™ is a GPS receiver with 12 parallel channels and an
integrated antenna. It uses signals from the NAVSTAR GPS (Global
Positioning System) constellation and signals from WAAS and EGNOS
satellite systems when the latter are operational. Designed for boating,
the FX324 MAP offers high accuracy, continuous coverage and worldwide
availability.
Important Note: This device should only be used as a navigation aid and
should not, under any circumstances, be substituted for traditional
navigation methods. The use of and connection to a peripheral
navigation device does not exempt the mariner from
demonstrating prudence and keeping constant watch.
However, your FX324 MAP is equipped with comprehensive software that
provides all the information that is indispensable for navigation, and
remains very easy to use. Its 8 function screens and 8 related menus are
always immediately accessible using the Direct Access buttons.
Your FX324 MAP is also a high-performance chart reader that uses
MapSend® BlueNav™ Charts, the new generation of marine cartography
by Magellan®. These vector charts offer a paper chart style presentation
and outstanding accuracy. The charts can be loaded using SD Cards,
which also make it possible to transfer files such as your waypoints or
routes lists.
Please note: This note applies to both FX324 MAP and FX324 MAP Color
models. The basic name FX324 MAP is used each time the
characteristics or descriptions are relevant to both models.
