It is very important that you understand how to select waypoints from
the database as it is used frequently in the Meridian. The first item to
understand is the differences in categories. There are three major types
of categories that need to be explained: user, preloaded and uploaded.
User: These are waypoints that you have saved using the
MARK function of the receiver. There can be up to
500 user-entered waypoints stored in memory. To
select the User category, highlight User in the Database
list.
Preloaded: These are waypoints that are included in the base map
that was installed by Magellan. The categories of
preloaded waypoints are: Cities, Highways, Airports,
Waterways and Parks. The Meridian Marine has an
additional set of marine preloaded categories: Fixed
Navaid, Buoys, Lighthouses, Marinas and
Obstructions.
Uploaded: Using any of the MapSend® CD-ROM software you
can add detailed maps to your Meridian. Along with
the detailed maps, a set of waypoints for a wide variety
of categories. If you have uploaded a detailed map, you
will notice a black line near the bottom of the database
list with the name of the detailed map(s) you have
uploaded. To select a category for the detailed map,
you need to highlight the name of the uploaded map
and press [ENTER]. Then highlight the category from
the newly displayed list.
