The Magellan Maestro is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected destinations. When using
the Magellan Maestro, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself
or others:
• Some countries may prohibit mounting any item to your windshield. Please check the applicable regulations in your
country as regards windscreen mounting. Go to www.magellanGPS.com for alternate mounting solutions.
• When driving, the need to view the display is minimal. Voice prompts will guide you to your destination. The driver
should enter data or programme the Magellan Maestro only when the vehicle is stationary. Only a vehicle passenger
should enter data or programme the Magellan Maestro while the vehicle is moving.
• It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws.
• Every attempt is made to ensure that the database is accurate. However, roadways, points of interest (POIs) and
business and service locations may change over time. The database does not include, analyse, process, consider, or
reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions);
road slope or grade; bridge height, width, weight or other limits; population density; neighbourhood quality or safety;
availability or proximity of police, emergency rescue, medical or other assistance; construction work zones or hazards;
road or lane closures; road, traffic or traffic facilities’ safety or condition; weather conditions; pavement characteristics
or conditions; special events; traffic congestion. It is your responsibility to disregard any unsafe, hazardous or illegal
route suggestions.
• Keep the Magellan Maestro safe from extreme temperature conditions. For example, do not leave it exposed to direct
sunlight for an extended period of time.
• Take care when mounting the Magellan Maestro in your vehicle, whether using the windscreen mount or other mount or
accessories, that it does not obstruct the driver’s view of the road, interfere with the operation of the vehicle’s safety
devices such as air bags, or present a hazard to occupants of the vehicle should the Magellan Maestro be dislodged
while driving. You assume the risks associated with damage to your vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result of your
choices in mounting the Magellan Maestro.
• Laws in some countries prohibit wearing stereo headphones while operating a motor vehicle. Please contact your state’s
Department of Motor Vehicles for information.

Magellan Maestro 4245
The Magellan Maestro 4245 is a vehicle navigation product that uses GPS signals from satellites to
calculate your precise location and compute detailed routes. As it knows its position and movement,
it can then overlay this information on detailed maps provided by NAVTEQ® to provide a visual
representation of your location.
With the Magellan Maestro 4245 you can:
• Store your home address and quickly obtain routing details to your home.
• Create and save addresses in your address book that you can access at any time and
obtain routing information to that address.
• Route to an address that you enter using the keypad and Magellan’s QuickSpell feature for
easy, error-free entry.
• Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your Magellan Maestro.
• Route to a POI that appears on the map while travelling simply by tapping on the POI
icon.
• Create a trip with multiple destinations using the trip planner. Handy for business people
who need routing information to many destinations.
• View POIs that are ahead of you on the motorway. The POI Near Exit tool provides you with
a list of petrol stations, restaurants, hotels and auto repair shops located nearby exits you
are approaching while travelling along a motorway.
• Customise your Magellan Maestro to meet your needs using the User Options menu.
The interface for the Magellan Maestro is easy and simple to follow once you understand the basics.
You may never need to refer to this manual but if you do we have tried to present it in a form that
makes it easy for you to access the function you are trying to use and follow the steps provided.
The Magellan Maestro has a built-in battery, so, in most cases, you will be able to follow these
instructions while reading them on your computer screen without plugging the Maestro to the AC
power socket. You should note that while indoors you may not get any satellite signals, so your
location information may not be updated. However, the power of the SiRFstarIII™ chipset installed in
the Magellan Maestro will pick up satellite signals in some very demanding locations, so you may
notice the Magellan Maestro computing a position, even indoors.
This document is set up to be printed on 8.5” x 11” (letter) paper should you desire a printed version
for your reference.

Installation Instructions
Installation of the Magellan Maestro is simple and easy. The hardest part will be picking the best
location.
Selecting the Location
A few tips on selecting the proper location.
• Mount the Magellan Maestro in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere
with your view of the road.
• The Magellan Maestro should be mounted in such a way that the antenna, (located in the
top of the receiver), has an unobstructed view of the sky through the windshield.
• Select whether it will be mounted using the adjustable mount to the windshield or an
optional adhesive disk. Be sure to check your local and regional laws before mounting to
the windshield. (Adhesive Disks are available from the Magellan Store at
www.magellanGPS.com.)
• If planning to use an adhesive disk, a smooth surface on the dash board will need to be
selected. Do not attach the adhesive disk to the windshield nor airbag covers.
• Make sure that the Magellan Maestro nor any cabling will be disturbed in the event that
the airbags are deployed.
Cleaning the Area
Use the alcohol pad that came with the Magellan Maestro to clean the area on the windshield that has
been selected for mounting the Magellan Maestro. Let the area dry completely.
Attach the Cradle to the Swivel Mount
Line up the two tabs on the swivel mount
with the holes on the back of the cradle.
Push the cradle down until it locks in place
with the swivel mount.
Secure the Swivel Mount to the Windshield
Please note that the swivel mount supplied with the Magellan Maestro may be different then the one shown in this
document.
Installation 4
Make sure that the lever at the base of the
adjustable mount is in the up position. Place
the base of the swivel mount firmly over the
area to be used. Push the lever at the base of
the swivel mount all the way down until it
snaps in place. Carefully let go of the
assembly, making sure that it is securely
mounted.
Attaching the Magellan Maestro to the Cradle
Align the tabs on the cradle to the indents on the
bottom of the Magellan Maestro. Swivel the
cradle up so that it is flush against the back of the
receiver and snap it into place.
Adjust the Mount for Optimum Viewing
Loosen the adjustment locking knobs and position the Magellan Maestro for optimum viewing. Once
set, tighten the locking knobs. (Never attempt to adjust the mount while driving.)
Connecting Power
Plug the end of the cigarette lighter adapter into a
12 VDC vehicle power receptacle. Connect the
other end of the cable to the Magellan Maestro’s
USB connector as shown. If there is power at the
receptacle, the Magellan Maestro will power on.
(Note: some vehicles apply power to the vehicle
power receptacle only when the ignition is on.)
Installation 5
Connecting Traffic Antenna
These instructions apply to those versions of the
Magellan Maestro that are “traffic-ready”.
Magellan Maestro’s with an external antenna input
(shown) are considered “traffic-ready”.
Plug the FM antenna connector from the Vehicle
Power Cable to the FM antenna jack on the
Magellan Maestro. See the section on Traffic for
additional set up information.
Traffic FM
Connector
Installation 6
Check Connection and Final Adjustments
If the power indicator light on the vehicle power cable connector is on, power is being supplied to the
Magellan Maestro. If it is not on, check the cable connection to the vehicle power receptacle. If the
light is still not on, turn the vehicle’s ignition on.
Press the power button (located at the bottom right side of the Maestro) and hold down for a few
seconds. The Magellan Maestro will power on. Sit in a normal driving position and make any final
adjustments to the swivel mount for optimum viewing. Tighten the adjusting knobs on the swivel
mount to hold the Magellan Maestro firmly in place.
Press the power button again to turn the Magellan Maestro off and turn the ignition switch to the
vehicle to off. The Magellan Maestro is connected and ready for use.
Security
It is recommended that the Magellan Maestro is not left in plain view while unattended for reasons of
theft.
Please note that the Magellan Maestro is a receiver only and does not transmit GPS location signals.
The receiver nor the vehicle can be tracked using the Magellan Maestro.
Country Selection
When the receiver is turned on for the first time it may ask you to select the maps for the desired
country. Select the country you want to use by tapping on the item from the list.

Selecting From List
After tapping “OK” to accept your input, you may be
presented with a list of items found in the database.
Notes on Entering Data
If you are having trouble getting the results you expected, here are a few useful tips.
• Make sure that you have spelled the name correctly. If you are unsure of the spelling, just
enter a few characters and tap “OK”. A long list of names will be displayed, but you can
step through the list and you will probably be able to find the correct spelling.
• When the name of the town has a prefix such as ‘Saint’, ‘The’ ‘Le’, ‘La’ etc. you must
enter this prefix in order to obtain the expected result.
• When entering a street name, you can usually enter only one of the significant words in
the street name to retrieve it from the database. However, if you are having trouble finding
the street you are looking for, we recommend trying to type in its full name.
• The more characters you enter, the smaller the list of entries found will be.
Voice Control 13
Voice Control
The Magellan Maestro includes voice control software for many of the most commonly used
commands. This provides hands-free operation of the Magellan Maestro for most of the functions you
will use on a daily basis.

To place the Magellan Maestro in a ‘listening’ mode for voice commands, you need to first ‘wake up’
the voice control software by speaking the attention word “Magellan”. Upon waking up the Magellan
Maestro, the Say a Command screen is displayed. This is a list of available commands that can be
used for reference. The command you want to use does not need to be displayed, this list is provided
for easy reference.
1. Speak “Magellan”.
2. Speak the command.
Speaking “Previous” or “Next” scrolls the list up and down.
After speaking the command, additional screens may be displayed that also can be voice
controlled.
Sample Nearest Restaurant
1. Speak “Magellan”.
2. Speak “Nearest Restaurant”.
Voice Control 14
3. Speak “Chinese Food”.
Speak the number of the item in the list to
select it. Speak “Previous” or “Next” to
scroll up and down the list of items.
Say the number of the restaurant you want
to go to and the Magellan Maestro will
begin calculating the route to the chosen
destination.
Say a Command’ Choices
The following is a list of some of the commands that
can be spoken after saying the wake up word
“Magellan.”
• “Roadside Assistance”
• “Where am I?” or “Current Location”
•“Go Home”
• “Nearest Restaurant”
•“Nearest Gas”
•“Nearest ATM”
•“Nearest Bank”
• “Nearest Coffee”
• “Distance to Destination”
• “Cancel Route”
•“Modify Route”
•“Detour”
Restaurants have a shortcut that will skip the cusine screen shown in the sample. Instead of saying
“Nearest Restaurant”, say “Nearest Chinese Restaurant”.
Quitting Voice Command
If you decide to cancel the voice command you are accessing, say “Quit”.
Tips on Speaking Voice Commands
No response to commands - If the navigation unit is not responding to your commands, first try
relocating the Magellan Maestro so the microphone is closer and/or pointed towards you. Remember
to speak in a normal, natural voice. Wind noise and talk radio stations can “confuse” the voice
recognition software, so turn off the radio and roll up your windows.
•Avoid speaking too soon. The most common speech recognition problem people have is
answering a question before the navigator has stopped speaking. The speech input circuits
are inactive while the navigator is outputting speech. To avoid this problem, wait for at
least one half second before answering a navigator question. You should say “one
second”.
•Turn down the radio, especially when listening to talk radio stations.
•Avoid speaking a command while others are talking.
•Avoid fans blowing across the microphone. This problem occurs very often in summer
when the air conditioning is turned up high. Turn down the fan or reposition the Magellan
Maestro.
Voice Control 15
•Roll up the window if road noise is too high. In some cars, the interior noise increases
dramatically with car speed. The best thing to do with noisy cars is to close the windows.
Positioning the Magellan Maestro closer to you can also help.
•Avoid shouting. Shouting puts stress into the voice which actually degrades speech
recognition performance. If the navigator is not hearing you, try moving the Magellan
Maestro closer and lowering your voice.

Types of Routes
There are a wide variety of methods you can use to create a route. Each method is discussed in the
chapter which is associated with it. Some of the more common methods and the chapters in which
they are described are:
• A route to a new address (Address)
• A route to an address in your address book (Street Address)
• A route to a previous destination(Street Address)
• A route to a POI preloaded in the Magellan Maestro (Points of Interest)
• A trip (a route with multiple destinations) (Trip Planner)
• A route to your home address (Home Address)
Routing Method
Regardless of which route type has been created, the
Magellan Maestro needs to know how the route is to
be calculated. Routes can be calculated by Fastest
Time, Shortest Distance, Least Use of Motorways or
Most Use of Motorways. To select the route method,
tap on the radio button for the desired method.
The Magellan Maestro can be set to avoid toll roads
as much as possible by tapping on the Avoid Toll
Roads checkbox.
