Magellan eXplorist XL - Manual (Page 8)

Welcome from the Magellan crew.
With the purchase of a Magellan GPS satellite receiver, you have joined the
thousands of people who enjoy using GPS in their professional and recre-
ational activities.
Since we introduced our first product more than five years ago, Magellan has
established a reputation for product excellence and customer support. Our
customers include sailors, commercial fishermen, pilots, geologists, explorers,
surveyors, and the Allied Forces in Desert Storm. Your receiver represents the
next generation of GPS technology — technology that is combined with our
hallmark durability and ease of use, which have evolved over years of field
experience.
With your receiver are two documents: the Reference Guide and the Field
Guide.
Like the Magellan GPS receiver, the Field Guide is tough and ready to
go where ever your adventures take you. Printed on waterproof “pa-
per”, its purpose is to explain how to operate the receiver — in any
weather. When not in use, the Field Guide fits neatly in the carrying
case that is provided with the receiver.
The Reference Guide, which you are reading now, provides back-
ground information that will give you a deeper technical apprecia-
tion of the receiver and the GPS technology in general.
Wherever your outdoor recreation excursions take you, we hope your Magellan
receiver will add to your fun and safety.
So that your experiences contribute to the next generation of Magellan re-
ceivers, I need to hear from you. All comments will be considered for incorpo-
ration into future products. Address your letters to me at Dept. 3-A.
Yours truly,
Randy D. Hoffman, President and CEO
