Color User Manual Addendum
Since the release of the User Manual for the SporTrak Color, there have been en-
hancements to the SporTrak Color’s software. This addendum will describe those
enhancements as well as provide some additional information that may help you
use your SporTrak Color GPS Receiver.
You can keep your SporTrak Color up to date by checking the Magellan
®
web site
at www.magellangps.com for future software releases that you can upload into your
SporTrak Color receiver.
Enhancements:
On/Off Protection – This feature is designed to provide a different way to turn the
SporTrak Color on or off to avoid accidental turn on or off if carried in a backpack
or your pocket.
Keypad Light Timer – This enhancement was introduced to increase the battery life
of your SporTrak Color. This feature automatically turns the keypad light off after
1 minute of inactivity.
Map Screen Detailed Information – This provides a simple method of saving a
waypoint or going to an item displayed or just viewing additional information
about any item displayed on the map. You will find that this method is the easiest
way to save or go to any map item.
Destination Plotter – You now have the option of displaying lines on the map
screen that graphically display a line from your present position to your destination
and/or a line from the departure point to your destination.
Magnetic Heading – Under Map Setup you can now select to set the top of the dis-
play to magnetic heading using the information provided by the SporTrak Color’s
built-in compass.
Map Utilities – You can now select which basemap or detail map you want to use if
you have uploaded optional maps into your SporTrak Color’s memory. You also
have the option of deleting from your SporTrak Color’s memory any optional maps
that you have uploaded.
Navaids – The SporTrak Color now contains a comprehensive list of navaids to sup-
port the many mariners who are using the SporTrak Color receiver.
Tides and Currents – The SporTrak Color can now display tide and current infor-
mation for various ports and stations. Please note that current information can be
displayed only if you have a chart that you have uploaded from one of the optional
