6Power On/OffTurn the unit On by rotating the VOL control clockwise.Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.When you turn the unit On, you will hear a beep and the following message appears and remains on the display for 7 seconds.After 7 seconds, the display changes to the Warning message:Basic VHF Radio OperationMystic OMc.book Page 6 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

7The Warning mesage remains displayed for 10 seconds. During that time, press the [ENTER] key to agree to the information on the screen.The display then changes to the default Channel and Navigation screen.Note: If you don’t press the [ENTER] key while the Warning message is displayed, you will not have the GPS available when you proceed to the Channel and Navigation screen. The message will read: “GPS Unavailable”.SquelchThe SQUELCH control allows you to set the “threshhold” at which signals can be heard. This allows you to determine how strong a signal must be before it “breaks squelch”. That is, how strong it must be before you can hear it. This keeps static and unwanted weak or distant signals from breaking into your desired conversations.Mystic OMc.book Page 7 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

8To set the Squelch level:1. Turn the SQUELCH control fully clockwise. This raises the “Squelch Gate” so high that only very strong signals can get through.2. Turn the SQUELCH control fully counterclockwise until you hear a hiss. This lowers the “Squelch Gate” so that everything gets through - noise, weak signals, and strong signals.3. Turn the SQUELCH control back clockwise just until the hiss stops. Now the “Squelch Gate” allows only signals of the desired strength through.Mystic OMc.book Page 8 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

14Position FixNote: If this is the first time you are using the Mystic in GPS mode, you must set up the GPS parameters. See the GPS Setup Section () for the correct procedure.Once the Mystic has been set up, you should automatically get a position fix when you turn the radio on.Because the Mystic gets the information it needs from satellites orbiting the earth, the radio needs to have a relatively unobstructed view of the sky. This allows the Mystic to choose from all satellites currently available.If the view of the sky is poor due to large cliffs, mooring roofs, buildings, heavy foliage or other obstructions, the satellite signals can be blocked and the GPS receiver may take longer to compute a position fix.You will observe the acquisition of the satellites and other important information on the default Channel and Navigation Screen that appears after the power-up sequence.The GPS Information display will display the current Date, and indicate the progress of acquiring the staellites necessary to achieve a Position Fix. The display will read Search - 1st sat, Search - 2nd sat, and Search - 3rd sat.GPS informationCustomizable data fieldsGPS Basic OperationsMystic OMc.book Page 14 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

15Once the three satellites have been acquired, the display alternate between two readouts:lThe current Date and EPE (Estimated Position Error, in feet)lAveraging and a numeric value. This means the Mystic is computing fixes. the speed is near 0.0, so the position is being averaged.You can see the satellites being used and their signal strength on the Satellite Status screen (described in Navigational Screens below).Navigational ScreensThe MYSTIC has nine navigation screens: Map screen, Compass screen, Large Data screen, two Position screens, Road screen, Data screen and Speedometer screen. There is also a Saellitet Status screen which enables you to view how well the MYSTIC is receiving satellite information. These screens will be described briefly here. More detailed information on the different screens can be found in the Reference chapter of the User Manual.lMap ScreenThe Map screen has two modes, Position or Cursor.Position Mode - In the position mode, your present position is indicated by the large arrow icon in the center of the display. If you are moving, the arrow will point in the direction you are heading. At the bottom of the screen is the scale for the map displayed and two data fields that can be customized, or turned off, depending upon your needs. The present position icon will change to an hourglass when the MYSTIC is unable to compute a position fix due to poor signal reception.Mystic OMc.book Page 15 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

16Cursor Mode - In the Cursor Mode, you are provided with a cursor that can be moved on the map. At the bottom of the display is the information for the position of the cursor relative to your present position. Also any points of interest that the cursor is over will be shown.To access the Cursor Mode, press any arrow on the keypad. A crosshair appears that can be moved with the arrow keys.To return to the Position Mode, press [ESC]. The cursor will disappear and the present position icon will appear centered on the map.lCompass ScreenThe Compass Screen is a handy to have at your fingertips while you are navigating. It is totally customizable to display the information that is useful to you. The lower portion of the Compass screen not only displays your heading in a graphical manner, but also displays the relationship of the sun, moon and your destination (if navigating on a route) to your heading.lLarge Data ScreenThe Large Data screen is similar to the Compass screen, with the compass removed to allow for large display of the navigation data. this screen is because the customizable information can be read even from a distance .Mystic OMc.book Page 16 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

17lPosition ScreensThe Position screens 1 and 2 display your present position using the coordinate systems that you select in Setup. This screen shows all of the basic position, time and satellite information. Additionally, current navigation information is shown in the bottom half of the screenYou can move to the second Position screen by pressing t or u. You can move back to scrren 1 by pressing t or u again.lRoad ScreenThe Road screen presents your route as if you were travelling on a road. When you need to make a turn, the road will graphically display the turn and the direction. Waypoint and destination icons will be displayed relative to your position as they come into view. Above the road is a compass that displays your heading and above that are four customizable data fields.lData ScreenThe Data screen provides you with six data fields and an active compass that is the same as the one used on the road screen. You have the option of customizing this screen by selecting what data is displayed in the upper six fields. This screen is handy when you need to see a lot of information in one place. Mystic OMc.book Page 17 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

18lSpeedometer ScreenThe Speedometer screen displays your speed in a familiar graphical format. There are four additional data fields at the top of the display that can be customized to display the data that you need.The bottom of the screen contains a trip odometer that will record the distance travelled since the last time the odometer was reset.lSatellite Status ScreenThe Sat Status screen provides you with a graphical display of the satellites in view and which ones are being used to compute the navigation data. The bar graph shows the relative signal strength being received for each satellite. At the bottom of the display is a battery indicator that displays the remaining battery life.Accessing the Navigation ScreensThe [NAV] key and the [ESC] key are used to step through the various navigation screens. If you are viewing one of the Navigation screens, pressing [NAV] will take you to the next Navigation screen in the list and pressing [ESC] will take you to the previous Navigation screen. If you are not viewing one of the Navigation screens, pressing [NAV] will return you to the last Navigation screen viewed.NOTE: If you are inputting data, pressing [NAV] will return you to the last Navigation screen but your inputs will not be saved.Mystic OMc.book Page 18 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

19WaypointsA waypoint is any position on the globe that you have saved into memory. The act of saving the waypoint is commonly called “Marking.” So when references are made to marking a waypoint, that simply means to save a position on the globe into memory.There are a number of ways you can save a waypoint. The most common are: saving your present position, entering the coordinates of a position or saving the position of the cursor while viewing the Map screen. These waypoints can then later be used to create routes or as the destination of a GOTO. (A GOTO is a single leg route that is defined as a route from your present position to any waypoint. You are here and you want to GOTO there.)Saving a WaypointSaving Your Present Position as a Waypoint - From any screen, press and hold [GOTO] for 2 seconds and the Mark screen is displayed. The “Save” button is highlighted and you can press [ENTER] to save the waypoint using the default name and icon. This will save your present position using a default name (WPTxxx) into memory, where xxx is a sequential number.To give more meaning to your waypoints, you can change the name and icon for each one. You can also add a text message to a waypoint These procedures are covered in the GPS Advanced Operation Section (page28).There is a limit to the number of waypoints you can store in the MYSTIC. The MYSTIC will store up to 500 user waypoints in memory. If you should ever get that many and need to input more, you will have to delete ones that you no longer need to make room.Using GOTO RoutesA GOTO route is simply a route with a start point (your present position) and a single destination point (a waypoint you select). All that is required to create a GOTO route is having the destination waypoint saved in memory. This waypoint can be one that you have saved earlier (which is Mystic OMc.book Page 19 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

20stored in your User Waypoint List) or any of the landmarks that come with the MYSTIC in its built-in database.The uses for a GOTO route are endless. You could mark the location of your mooring location or launch location as home. You could also mark a hot fishing spot you found, and next season come back to the exact same spot.Creating a GOTO Route1. Press the [GOTO] button. That takes you to the GOTO database screen.2. Select the Waypoint Category.Use p and q to move the highlight through the list of waypoint categories. The first category in the list is “User” . These are all the waypoints you have already entered into your MYSTIC. The remaining categories are ones that have waypoints which have been preloaded into your MYSTIC and are stored in permanent memory.3. Select Find By.There are two options of “Find By”: Alphabetical and Nearest To. Selecting Alphabetical will display all the waypoints in the category you select in alphabetic order. Nearest To will display a list of the 20 waypoints nearest to your position or waypoint you select in order of their distance away.Use t or u to select the desired method.GOTO database screenMystic OMc.book Page 20 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

214. To select the GOTO Destination Waypoint from the selected Category and Find By, press the [ENTER] key. A list of all the waypoints you have entered is displayed.5. Use p or q to highlight the desired destination. You’ll notice the bottomof the screen shows the Bearing and Distance to the highlighted destination. Press [ENTER].6. You are returned to the last NAV screen viewed with some noticeable changes. If you were viewing the Map screen, you will now notice a thick line which is a graphical plot of the GOTO you just created. For other NAV screens, the header bar changes to indicate that you are navigating to a destination. If you press [NAV] until you are viewing the Compass screen, the header bar now displays “To: (your destination)”, and all of the navigational information is displayed to provide you with the necessary details to get you to your destination.Note: You can select a GOTO Destination Waypoint from the other Categories. This is covered in the GPS Advanced Operation Section (page ).Navigating on a GOTO RouteThe MYSTIC has the tools you’ll need to navigate to your destination. You have the choice of three customizable screens that display the information that you need in the layout that you desire. You may find the compass screen perfect for you, or you may prefer the Large Data or Map screen. Press [NAV] until the navigation screen you want is displayed.If you selected the Map screen, you will see your position icon in the center of the screen with a line drawn for you on the map, graphically displaying the GOTO route.Note that this route is line of sight (LOS) or “as the crow flies.”List of waypointsMystic OMc.book Page 21 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

22The MYSTIC does not compute the route avoiding hazards or connecting waterways. Important GOTO routes are not saved in memory when the MYSTIC is turned off. If you are navigating on a GOTO route and you need to turn the MYSTIC off, you will need to re-enter the GOTO. However, Routes are stored in memory. If you need a GOTO but expect to turn the MYSTIC off before arriving, you might consider making a 1-leg Route using the Route menu. This is covered in the GPS Advanced Operation Section starting on page28.Mystic OMc.book Page 22 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

23Digital Selective Calling (DSC)Digital Selective Calling has been chosen by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as an international standard for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio calls. Digital Selective Calling has also been selected as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). This service will let you instantly send a Distress call with GPS position to the US Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission. DSC will also let you initiate or receive distress, urgency, safety, position information and routine calls to or from another vessel outfitted with a DSC transceiver. See the Setup Section (page40) for instructions on how to setup the directory of names.To make a DSC Call, press [CALL/LIGHT]. That takes you to the DSC Menu. From there you can select several different Calls you can make: Individual Call, Group Call, All Ships Call, Position Request, Position Send, Standby,and Call Wait. They are described in the paragraphs below.Individual Call1. Select an open (unused) working Channel.2. Press [CALL/LIGHT].3. At the DSC Menu, use p and q to select Individual Call.Press [ENTER].4.

When you set the MYSTIC to DSC STANDBY Mode, voice traffic may still be active on any chosen channel.1. Press [CALL/LIGHT].Mystic OMc.book Page 25 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

262. At the DSC Menu, use p and q to select Standby.Press [ENTER].When an individual DSC call is received, the radio will respond with the UNATTENDED message when you can’t answer the call. The DSC call will be recorded into the radio’s Call Waiting Directory. Note: If you press any key on the radio, or press the PTT button, this feature will be canceled.Call WaitingIf you receive a call and do not answer within 5 minutes, or if the radio is set on DSC Standby, the call will be recorded. The DSC Call Waiting Directory records 10 received Distress calls, and records 20 Individual calls. Calls will be recorded while you are busy with other communications as long as the transmitter is not keyed at the time of the call. If the call is answered within 5 minutes the call will not be recorded. When a call is recorded, a message appears.1. Press [CALL/LIGHT].2.

27This function can receive the electric wave transmitted towards the ship that is present in the domain specified from the call side. It also indicates the time when the geographical call is received.Mystic OMc.book Page 27 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

28Modifying a Waypoint with a Custom Icon and NameThe above method is fine if you want to just save your position quickly, but it will be difficult to figure out later which waypoint this is from a list of waypoints named WPT001, WPT002, etc. For that reason, you may want to change the default name to one of your choosing. You can also select a different icon that will help you find the waypoint when you are using the map screen.To do this, press and hold [GOTO] for 2 seconds just like you did before. Use the UP/DOWN arrows and notice that the highlight moves from field to field and then back to “Save.”Highlight the Icon field using the UP/DOWN arrows and press [ENTER].The Icon Select window is displayed. Use the arrow keypad to move from one icon to another with the name of the icon displayed at the top. As a reference tool, all of the icons and their names are listed in the Reference Chapter of the User Manual. When you have highlighted the icon you want to use, press [ENTER].The cursor is now highlighting the Waypoint Name field. With the Name field highlighted, press [ENTER]. The input keyboard is displayed. The very top of the keyboard window shows you what field you are changing, in this case the Name field.You can now use the arrow keypad to select the character you wish to enter. With the character highlighted, press [ENTER] and the character is appended to the name you are entering and displayed in the field above the keys. (Note: waypoint names can be up to 8 characters in length.)When you have the name the way you want it, highlight “OK” and press [ENTER]. You are returned to the Mark screen with the new name displayed.Adding a Message to a WaypointYou can also add a message to waypoints you are creating. There is a memory limit however. You can save up to 500 user-entered waypoints in your Meridian but only 200 waypoint of those can have a message assigned to it.Adding a message to a waypoint can assist you in identifying the waypoint. If this was a waypoint for a friend’s house or business, you could add a phone number or any other information that you find useful.GPS Advanced OperationsMystic OMc.book Page 28 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

29To add a message to a waypoint you are creating, highlight the Message field using the Up/Down arrows and press [ENTER].The same keyboard that was used in entering a name is presented allowing you to enter a message. Using the same technique, you can enter a message up to 30 characters in length.Use the Up/Down arrows to move the highlight through the list of waypoint categories. The first category in the list is “User” and these are all of the waypoints that you have entered into your Meridian receiver. The remaining categories are ones that have waypoints which have been preloaded into your Meridian and are stored in permanent memory. If you have the Meridian Marine, you will notice your list is considerably longer then the one shown here as you have additional marine waypoints preloaded into your Meridian.(For this example, select the “User” category.)Step 3: Select Find By.There are two options of “Find By”: Alphabetical and Nearest To. Selecting Alphabetical will display all the waypoints in the category you select in alphabetic order. Nearest To will display a list of the 20 waypoints nearest to your position or waypoint you select in order of their distance away. This could be used to display the waypoints that are closest to your present position or display the airports that are closest to any city you select. For the purpose of this basic opera-tion, only Alphabetical will be used. For details on Nearest To, see the Reference chapter in the User Manual.Use the Left/Right arrow until “Alphabetical” is displayed in the Find By field.Step 4: Select GOTO Destination Waypoint from the User Category.With “User” highlighted and “Alphabetical” in the Find By field, press [ENTER]. A list of all the waypoints you have entered is displayed.Use the Up/Down arrows to highlight the desired destination, in this case “Home”, and press [ENTER].You are returned to the last NAV screen viewed with some noticeable changes. If you are viewing the Map screen, you will now notice a thick line which is a graphical plot of the GOTO you just created. Other NAV screens, have changed the header bar to indicate that you are navigating to a destination. Press the NAV key until you are viewing the Compass Mystic OMc.book Page 29 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

30screen. The header bar now displays “To: Home”. Now all of the navigational information displayed is to provide you with the necessary details to get you to your destination, in this case “Home”.Alternate Step 4: Select GOTO Destination Waypoint from Other Categories.As mentioned earlier, a GOTO can be to any waypoint in memory, either ones you have created or ones that have been loaded into the Meridian. When selecting waypoints other then “User”, you are first presented with the keyboard display. The reason for this is there can be thousands of waypoints in the list and using the conventional “scrolling” could take quite a bit of time. By using the keyboard, you will be able to shorten the time by going to a specific point in the list.(If you have been performing the keypresses as you are reading this, then you are probably viewing one of the NAV screens. In which case, you need to press [GOTO] to continue following along with the text. The first thing you will notice is an alert pop-up asking you if you want to clear the GOTO that is active. With “Yes” high-lighted, press [ENTER] to continue.)With “Cities” highlighted and “Alphabetical” in the Find By field, press [ENTER]. This is a slight variation of the keyboard you have already used. This time the “shift” and “backspace” keys have been replaced with “<-” (move cursor left) and “->” (move cursor right). What you want to do here is to begin typing the name of the city you are looking for.For example, suppose your destination was to be Los Angeles. Use the keypad to highlight the letter “L” and press [ENTER]. Notice how the name is changed to the first city stored in the Meridian’s memory that begins with the letter “L” and that the cursor has moved to the next letter in the city name. (You can move the cursor back if you made a mistake by highlighting the “<-” button on the keyboard and press [ENTER].)Since we are looking for Los Angeles, we need to highlight the “O” next and press [ENTER]. Then the “S” and press [ENTER].To add a space, highlight the “space bar” and press [ENTER]. (Also, you can use the “->” button to move the cursor to the right if you want to skip the letter the cursor is indicating.)You don’t need to spell out the entire word. The attempt here is to get close to the name so you won’t need to scroll very far during the next step. As a guide, entering the first five letters should be sufficient. When you are satisfied with what you have entered, highlight “OK” and press [ENTER].Mystic OMc.book Page 30 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

31Tip: There is a hidden shortcut that replaces highlighting “OK” and pressing [ENTER]. When you are satisfied that you have narrowed the search down and want to proceed to the list, press the [IN] key.The list of all the waypoints for the category you selected, in this case cities, is displayed with the waypoint that was previously selected at the top of the list. Now just use the Up/Down arrows to highlight the waypoint you are looking for and press [ENTER].For this example, you would highlight Los Angeles, CA and press [ENTER]. The last viewed NAV screen is displayed and the Meridian will begin computing all of the necessary information needed to get you to your destination.Navigating on a GOTO RouteThe Meridian has the ability to provide you with the tools you’ll need to navigate to your destination. You have the choice of three customizable screens that display the information that you need in the layout that you desire. Hikers may find the compass screen perfect for them while boaters may prefer the Large Data or Map screen. For you, the Map screen may have all the information you’ll ever require.Press [NAV] until the navigation screen you want is displayed.If you selected the Map screen, you will see your position icon in the center of the screen with a line drawn for you on the map, graphically displaying the GOTO route.Note that this route is line of sight (LOS) or “as the crow flies.”The Meridian does not compute the route using streets and highways providing a turn-by-turn routing. You’ll find very quickly that you can easily use the roads and highways displayed on the Map screen and compare them to the displayed route and get to your destination quickly.This concludes the basic operation of the Magellan Meridian, but there is so much more. More detail on the mentioned functions, and information on the functions not mentioned can be found in the Reference chapter of the User Manual.GOTO routes are NOT saved in memory when the Meridian is turned off. If you are navigating on a GOTO route and you need to turn the Meridian off, you will need to reset the GOTO. Routes, however, are stored in memory. If you need to make a GOTO but expect to turn the Meridian off Mystic OMc.book Page 31 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

32before arriving, you might consider making a 1-leg route using the route menu.Navigational ScreensSelecting NAV Screens — The [NAV] button provides a means of accessing the navigation screens. (Note: the sequence displayed is when all eight navigation screens are turned on. Screens turned off in Setup will not be displayed.)Returning to Last Viewed NAV Screen — Pressing the [NAV] button returns the Meridian to the last NAV Screen viewed.NAV(Note: if the NAV screen is pressed from a screen where data is being input, the data will not be saved.)Map Scale IndicatorProvides the scale for the map. The number displayed represents approximately 1/4 of the screen’s width. Scale can be changed with the IN and OUT buttons.Track HistoryDotted line on the map displays the history of where you have travelled since the last time you cleared the Track History (see Clear Memory in the Reference Chapter.)Data FleldsThese fields display navigational information for viewing on the Map screen. They are both customizable with 13 data types possible.Both of the data fields can be turned on or off allowing more viewable map area.Both features (customize and turning the data on/off) can be accessed from the MENU button.Cursor IconThe Cursor Icon pinpoints the location you have selected by using the arrow keys.Map Scale IndicatorMystic OMc.book Page 32 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

33Provides the scale for the map. The number displayed represents approximately 1/4 of the screen’s width. Scale can be changed with the IN and OUT buttons.Waypoint NameWhenever the cursor is over a map object, the name of the map object is displayed, otherwise the word “cursor” appears. The data shown in the information block is the heading and distance from your present position to the cursor.Setting the Map Detail — The detail of the map can be set to highest, high, medium, low or lowest. This changes the zoom level that different map objects (cities, highways, labels, etc.) are displayed. If you have set a zoom level and the display is too cluttered, set the map detail to a lower level; conversely set it to a higher level to view more detail. The default is Medium.Customizing the Map DisplayThe Map screen can be customized for your individual needs and requirements. You can select what is being displayed on the map as well as what additional data will be presented at the bottom of the screen.Customization is broken into two parts; what items are displayed on the map and what data fields (if any) are displayed at the bottom of the screen.Selecting Map ItemsTurning On/Off Display Waypoints — Turns on or off the waypoints on the Map screen. Default is On.Turning On/Off Track Lines — As you move, your track history is normally displayed on the map screen represented by a dashed line. This function allows you to turn off or on these lines. Default is On.Turning On/Off Topographic Lines — [Available only if a map has been uploaded from a Magellan MapSend Topo for the United States CD-ROM] This function will hide all topo lines and topographic information. Default is On.Turning On/Off Displayed POI’s — [Available only if a map has been uploaded from a Magellan MapSend CD-ROM] Allows you to select which, if any, POIs that have been uploaded from a MapSend product to be displayed. Default is On.Mystic OMc.book Page 33 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

38Projection your Map Orientation will change to “Track Up” so you may need to change that when you are done viewing the projected terrain. If you change Orientation to something other then Track Up while viewing the Terrain Projection, the default Two Data Fields is displayed.Changing the Orientation back to “Track Up” will revert back to the projected terrain.Changing the Map Orientation — You can change how the map is orientated on the screen to either North Up, Course Up or Track Up.Default is North Up.North Up North is at the top of the screen.Course Up The heading of the active leg of the active route is at the top of the screen.If no route is active,North Up orientation is used until a route is activated.Track Up Your heading (i.e.,the direction you are travelling)is at the top of the screen.Selecting Primary Usage — The Meridian can be set to either Land or Marine Usage. When in Land (default), the map displays land areas in white and water areas as dark gray. For marine applications it may be desirable to reverse the display, showing water as white and land as dark gray. This will make reading some of the data information on the water easier.Selecting Track Mode — Allows you to set how often the Meridian stores track points. Setting the mode to “OFF” stops the Meridian from saving any new track points. In “Auto” or “Auto Detailed” mode, the Meridian uses a method for track point storage that maximizes memory.Using Auto, you will see more points on and near turns and less points on straight stretches of the map. You also have the option of selecting fixed iSetting the Track Mode to “OFF” will cause severe limitations to the ability of your Meridian to create a backtrack route. The same temporary waypoints used to create the displayed track are used to compute a backtrack route. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you use the “Auto” Track Mode whenever possible.Auto vs. Auto Detailed. You will notice two of the options for the Track Mode are Auto (default) and Auto Detailed. Basically, both options behave the same. While your are travelling in a straight line, only a few track points are taken, but as you turn, the Meridian increases the rate of track Mystic OMc.book Page 38 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM

39points. This allows for a good representation of your track with minimal track points stored. Auto Detailed performs exactly the same as Auto, but has the base rate of track points saved increased. This allows a more detailed track then Auto to be taken, while at the same time saving memory over a fixed rate.The following is an overly simplified diagram of the three track rate options. In most cases, Auto should meet all of your requirements but if you want more detail on turns and still not clutter memory with excessive track points, select Auto Detailed.Mystic OMc.book Page 39 Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:26 PM
