MapSend WorldWide Basemap

The Magellan WorldWide Basemap software

enables you to create a basemap for any region

of the world and upload it to your mapping

Magellan GPS receiver. Adding WorldWide

basemaps to your Magellan GPS receiver does

not erase your built-in basemap -- it enables you

to add basic reference map coverage for areas

not covered by the built-in map. New basemaps

can be loaded and saved via a PC to GPS cable

from your PC to your Magellan Meridian series

handheld (requires an optional Secure Digital (SD) memory card),

directly to the SD card using a card reader/writer, or directly to the

memory of your Magellan meridian or Each basemap region you

define contains the essential basic map features such as cities,

highways, waterways, railroads, national boundaries and shorelines.

WorldWide Basemap also includes basic topography contours, which

can help you stay oriented to your environment and find Points of

Interest. In addition to the visual map presentation, the map features

can be located using tabular search functions ñ on the GPS as well as

in the PC application. Easily toggle between the built-in basemap and

your new WorldWide Basemap. Your Magellan GPS receiver will

automatically transition to a detailed map when the zoom scale is 0.4

miles or less and the majority of the displayed is covered by the map.

GPS quick FAQ

What is GPS?

GPS stands for the "Global Positioning System" and is a network of 24

satellites which continuously broadcast data down to earth. GPS

equipment is able to analyse this data and calculate your location

anywhere on the earth with amazing precision .

How does it actually work?

Each satellite transmits data on a time schedule precisely controlled by

an onboard atomic clock. The GPS receivers automatically select the

three (or more, if possible) satellites most favourably located and relay

their signals into a computer, which calculates the position of the

receiver by solving three or more simultaneous algebraic equations. Easy

when you know how....

How accurate is it?

GPS was originally developed by the US Military (as part of Reagan's

"Star Wars" policy) and was designed to be accurate to within 10 metres.

When they first went on sale the civilian products were subject to a

deliberate and random error (know as "selective availability") to

preserve some sort of military "edge". As of May 2000 this random error

is no longer introduced so all products produce reliable results with

quite incredible accuracy.

Do I have to pay a licence to use it?

Amazingly, no. Once you've bought your device there is nothing else to

pay.

Does it work anywhere?

As long as the antennae has an unrestricted view of the sky (it needs to

be able to "see" at least three satellites to get a position fix). Dense foliage

can restrict its tracking and they won't work inside buildings.

What information does it actually tell me?

It depends upon the features of the model. All will give a you fix in

latitude & longitude, and other reference systems inc Ordnance Survey

and European map grid reference. Other features include altitude,

bearing (compass), waypoint plotting (where you've been and where

you want to go) and favourite landmark memory.

Who uses GPS?

They are very popular with the boating fraternity for obvious reasons,

but the handheld models are becoming increasingly used for inland

recreations such as walking, cycling, hot air ballooning, hiking, fishing

etc and also increasingly for in-car navigation.
