When using the Magellan Triton, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others: IN THE INTERESTS OF SAFETY, DO NOT USE THIS NAVIGATION DEVICE WHILE DRIVING A VEHICLE. Please do not try and change any settings on the Magellan Triton while driving. Taking your eyes off the road is dangerous and can result in an accident in which you or others could be injured. USE GOOD JUDGEMENT This product is an excellent navigation aid, but does not replace the need for careful orienteering and good judgement. [. . . ] If the user stops moving or moves away from the next destination point, this number will become zero. Time to End Time to End measures how much time it will take the user to arrive at the final destination point in a route based on how fast the user is currently moving. If the user stops moving or moves in a counterproductive direction, this number will zero out. Time Time displays the current time based on the settings of the active profile. Date Date displays the current date based on the settings of the active profile. Destination Destination measures the number of degrees a user must turn to match their heading to their bearing. It is displayed in the number of degrees L/R (Left or Right) and is in relation to the user, not north. Navigation Screens 17 Cross Track Error (XTE) Cross Track Error measures how far the user is off the trail or route. Elevation Elevation measures the height above or below Sea Level which is 0. Maximum Speed Maximum Speed records the highest speed achieved by the user. Distance Made Good (DMG) Distance Made Good measures (in distance) the progress the user has made to a final destination point. This may be a negative distance if the user moves away from the target point. Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) Estimated Time of Arrival displays the time of day the user should arrive at a destination. Accuracy Accuracy calculates the margin of error the user can expect based on their satellite reception. Things that interfere with satellite reception may decrease the accuracy (increase the number) such as heavy canopies from trees, tunnels, tall buildings, canyons, broadcast satellites, and other GPS receivers too close in proximity. Velocity Made Good (VMG) Velocity Made Good calculates how fast the user is closing their distance to a destination point, not how fast the user is moving. If the user is traveling directly towards the destination point the number should match the Current Speed. If the user is travelling off the direct course to a final destination point, the number should reflect slower than the Current Speed because less actual progress is being made. If the user is moving away from the destination point, the numbers should be negative. If the user is standing still or moving around a consistent radius of the destination point, the number should be zero.
