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 land 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 your basecamp and go to the bridge. From the bridge, you want to hike to a

scenic spot you found during your last hike. 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

basecamp waypoint, to the bridge waypoint, and finally to the scenic waypoint.
