Magellan NAV 600094
Heading The direction in which the NAV 6000 is
moving, track or ground course, (due to
wind, current, and so forth), and may also be
different from the course.
Latitude The angular distance north or south of the
equator measured by lines encircling the
earth parallel to the equator in degrees from
0° to 90°.
LAT/LON Coordinate system using latitude and
longitude coordinates to define a position on
the earth.
Leg (Route) A segment of a route that has a starting
(FROM) waypoint and a destination (TO)
waypoint. A route may consist of 1 or more
legs. For a route that is from waypoint A to
waypoint B, waypoint B to waypoint C, and
waypoint point C to waypoint D has three
legs with the first leg being from waypoint A
to waypoint B.
Longitude The angular distance east or west of the
prime meridian (Greenwich meridian) as
measured by lines perpendicular to the
parallels and converging at the poles from 0°
to 180°.
Magnetic The direction toward the north magnetic
North pole from the observer’s position.
OSGB A coordinate system describing only Great
Britain, similar to UTMs. Generally used
with GBR36 datum, which also describes
only Great Britain. This coordinate system
cannot be used in any other part of the
world. The NAV 6000 automatically selects
the GBR36 datum when the OSGB coordi-
nate system is selected in Setup. (While
OSGB coordinates must be used with the
GBR36 datum, the GBR36 datum can be
used with LAT/LON coordinates; just be
sure the map you are using uses both LAT/
LON and GBR36.)
Position Fix Position coordinates as computed by the
NAV 6000.
