Your Magellan GPS receiver has the advanced navigation features that experienced 

navigators expect, yet is easy enough for the novice navigator to use. This chapter is 

broken into four sections. The first section describes the conventions used in this 
guide. The others describe the features accessed by the three function keys: SETUP, 
LOC, and GOTO. A 

Quick Find 

Index is also included, to help you locate a specific 

topic quickly. 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

 

Conventions Used in this Guide.  This guide includes both explanation and proce-
dure. The explanation provides information. The procedure describes which keys to 

press to produce a specific result. 

When an explanation refers to the receiver's keys, the key name appears in normal 
type. When the key is referred to in a procedure, the key's name will be appear in bold 
text. 

The key must be pressed to complete the procedure being described. 

The receiver has several types of keys. The function keys access the receiver's func-
tions. They are the three keys immediately below the ON/OFF key. The ON/OFF, EN-

TER, and CLEAR keys are are op-
eration keys. They turn the re-

ceiver an and off and save and 
delete information. The last 
group of keys are the arrow 
keys, which are described be-
low.
