Reverse Route Duplicates an existing route but in reverse
order.
Route A planned course of travel that is defined by
a sequence of waypoints. When active, the
route is used in the calculation of all naviga-
tion data except position, speed over ground
and track/course over ground.
Start and Destination Waypoint (FROM/TO) Waypoints
that mark the beginning and ending of a leg
of a route.
TDs Coordinate system using lines of position
determined by the Loran-C signals. Many
coastal navigators use TDs because Loran is a
familiar radio aid navigation and TDs are
clearly marked on their charts. Your
Magellan receiver can display position
coordinates in TDs by converting from LAT/
LON.
Time To Go The estimated time for the receiver to reach
the destination from its current position
based on the current VMG.
True North The direction to the geographical North Pole
from an observer’s position. The north
direction on any geographical meridian.
Track The actual path traveled, which may differ
from the planned course.
Track History The track over a selected length of time.
UT Universal Time, formerly referred to as
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
UTM Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)
metric grid system used on most large and
intermediate scale land topographic charts
and maps.
VMG Velocity Made Good. The component of
the velocity that is in the direction of the
destination.
Waypoint A location saved in the unit’s memory which
is obtained by entering data, editing data,
calculating data or saving a current position.
