Special Terminology
Waypoints
A waypoint is similar to an address. An address uses the street name and number, the
city, and the state to define its location, whereas a waypoint uses imaginary lines drawn
on the globe (latitude and longitude) to pinpoint its location. They function in the same
way, but are defined differently.
Track
Track is a record of your travels. As you move across the water the Magellan CrossoverGPS
drops and records electronic breadcrumbs that represent your movement. When you look
at the map screen you will notice a dotted line showing you a history of how you travelled.
This dotted line is your track. Track is primarily used to create a backtrack trip that
returns you to your starting point.
Backtrack
As explained above, the Magellan CrossoverGPS records your track while you are moving.
You can then create a trip (called backtrack) that follows this track back to where you
started.
Goto
A goto is a trip that tries to go in a straight line from your present position to a waypoint or
a point you have selected on the map.
Trip
A trip is a route with a single destination or with multiple legs and destinations. Suppose
you want to leave the port and go to the bait boat. After getting your bait you want to travel
to the fishing hotspot you saved from your last trip. This would be a trip with two
destinations (or two legs). You would use the Magellan CrossoverGPS to create a trip that
goes from your port waypoint, to the bait boat waypoint, and finally to the hotspot waypoint.
