Before we add any custom POIs to the unit, you should understand how the POI Manager plots POIs. 10. 1 Latitude Latitude can be expressed by dividing the Earth into horizontal segments totalling 180 degrees. Starting at the Equator (or zero degrees Latitude), lines (or Parallels) are drawn in 10-degree increments 90 degrees to the north and 90 degrees to the south. If your location is below the Equator, you are at a Southerly Latitude. 90° (North Pole) 80° 70° 60° 50° 40° 30° 20° 10° 0° North Latitude Equator South Latitude 80° 90° (South Pole) West Longitude 0° 10° 20° 30° 40° 50° 60° 70° 10. 2 Longitude Conversely, longitude lines can be expressed by dividing the Earth into vertical segments totalling 360 degrees. Starting at the Prime Meridian (which is The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England) or zero degrees Longitude, lines are drawn in 10-degree increments 180 degrees to the West and 180 degrees to the East. If your location is in the western hemisphere, you are at a Westerly Longitude. Additionally, to narrow down your location further, each 10-degree segment is divided into 60 smaller segments called minutes and, still further, each minute is divided into 60 segments called seconds. To express this in coordinates, the town of Los Angeles is located at 34° (degrees) 03' (minutes) and 08 (seconds) North of the Equator and 118° (degrees) 14' (minutes) and 42 (seconds) West of the Prime Meridian. 90° 70° 50° 30° 10° 10° 30° 50° 70° 90° 80° 60° 40° 20° 0° 20° 40° 60° 80° East Longitude 23 Chapter 10: Magellan RoadMate POI Manager 10. 3 Altitude Each location can also have an Altitude. Altitude is expressed by how far the point is above or below sea level. For example, Los Angeles in California is about 300 feet above sea level. Death Valley, California is about 270 feet below sea level. 100m Above The POI Manager has a single interface for loading, adding and deleting custom POIs from your Magellan RoadMate.
