Provides a visual indication of whether the receiver
is “locked” or “unlocked” on satellite signals. While the tracking
icon is displayed, the receiver is updating its position and can be
used to save landmarks and as a navigation tool. If the tracking
icon is not displayed, you may need to reposition the GPS
receiver to get a better view of the sky.

receiver will operate for about an additional hour before
automatically turning off.
The Magellan GPS 300 will retain its memory (route, land-

Memory will be retained even with low batteries for approxi-
mately one month if the unit is turned off.

run down much quicker and should be turned off when not
needed.
