Instructions for Operating the

Magellan RoadMate 6000T

The Magellan RoadMate 6000T is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving to your selected destinations.

When using the Magellan RoadMate 6000T, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury

or death to yourself or others:

• California law prohibits mounting any item to your windshield. Please check with your state or local law enforcement for

applicable regulations regarding windshield 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 program the Magellan RoadMate 6000T only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger

should enter data or program the Magellan RoadMate 6000T 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, analyze, 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; neighborhood quality or safety;

availability or proximity of law enforcement, 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 RoadMate 6000T 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 RoadMate 6000T in your vehicle, whether using the windshield 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 RoadMate 6000T

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 RoadMate 6000T.

• Laws in some states prohibit wearing stereo headphones while operating a motor vehicle. Please contact your state’s

Department of Motor Vehicles for information.

Chapter 2: GPS Information

2.1 About Satellite Navigation

Global satellite navigation is an exciting technology, providing enhanced productivity and accuracy in a vast number of

industries. It adds a new level of enjoyment and safety to a wide range of navigation, sports, and recreational activities.

A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a network of satellites that transmit high-frequency radio signals containing

time and distance data that can be picked up by a receiver, allowing users to pinpoint their precise locations anywhere

around the globe.

There are two Global Navigation Satellite Systems in operation: the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian

GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS). These systems are constantly being upgraded to meet higher standards of

reliability. A third GNSS named GALILEO, after the Italian astronomer of the early 1600s, is being developed in Europe

specifically to provide a higher standard of integrity and reliability, required to ensure the safety of lives during transport by

air, land and sea, without the use of additional augmentation systems.

While the GPS and GLONASS satellite networks are being developed to achieve maximum performance, Satellite-Based

Augmentation Systems (SBAS) have been established to provide improved accuracy. SBAS provides differential signal

corrections for GPS and GLONASS transmissions with the use of ground stations and geostationary satellites in specific

regions. This is GNSS-1, the first phase in establishing the required integrity for high-precision satellite navigation.

GNSS-2 requires the launching of new satellites into orbit and a complete upgrade of the existing satellite systems. This

second phase is already well underway. GALILEO, scheduled to begin service in 2008, is being developed to meet the

standards of GNSS-2 for rapid and reliable, certified precision positioning.

2.2 How Satellite Navigation Works

Global navigation satellites continuously transmit time and distance information as they orbit Earth in a precise formation.

Navigation satellite receivers use this information to calculate an exact location through triangulation. Every point on Earth is

identified by two sets of numbers called coordinates. These coordinates represent the exact point where a horizontal line,

known as latitude, crosses a vertical line, known as longitude. The receiver locks on to at least three satellites and uses the

information received to determine the coordinates of the receiving device.

By comparing the time the signals were transmitted from the satellites and the time they were recorded, the receiver

calculates how far away each satellite is. The distance of the receiver from three or more satellites reveals its position on the

surface of the planet. With these distance measurements, the receiver might also calculate speed, bearing, trip time,

distance to destination, altitude, and more.

The satellite-navigation device may display its position as longitude/latitude, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Military

Grid (MG), or simply as a point on an electronic map. Many Thales Navigation receivers provide comprehensive mapping

data, making satellite navigation an easy tool to enhance your recreational and industrial activities.

2.2.1 Line of Sight

Satellite-navigation receivers operate by line of sight with global-positioning satellites. This means that at least three

satellites must be in “view” of a receiver in order to calculate longitude and latitude. A fourth satellite must also be within

line of sight to calculate altitude. On average, eight satellites are continuously within line of sight of every position on Earth;

the more satellites in view, the more accurate the positioning.

Though the radio signals of navigation satellites will pass through clouds, glass, plastic, and other lightweight materials,

satellite-navigation receivers will not work underground or in other enclosed spaces.

Chapter 2: GPS Information

2.3 A Word on the Safe Usage of GPS Maps

Just like paper maps, maps on GPS devices vary greatly in terms of information included and visual presentation. Whether

topographical maps, roadmaps or marine charts, each map and the data it presents is designed for a specific purpose. For

example, marine charts will often present only a minimal representation of roadways and are not a substitute for street maps.

Topographic maps usually provide minimal detail about bodies of water and do not contain marine navigational markers.

Maps also vary widely in scale: the smaller the scale, the more detailed the map. Therefore, when using GPS maps (just as

with paper maps) it is important to consider what type of map you are using in your explorations and to use common sense.

2.3.1 From Source to Destination

Thales Navigation, maker of Magellan GPS products, is not a cartography company. We do not create the maps that are used

on our GPS devices. We seek to acquire map data from the best public and private sources available at the time of

publication. Thales Navigation licenses* topographical maps, roadmaps, marine charts and points of interest (POI) data

from commercial and governmental cartographic sources that provide raw map data. Thales Navigation processes and

compresses the raw data into a format that makes it presentable and manageable to work on our GPS devices. And to ensure

that our map data is as robust as possible, data from multiple sources are often combined to provide a better user experience

for our customers. This processing does not alter the landforms, coordinates or other spatial data that comes in the raw data.

The accuracy of the maps is fundamentally dependent on the source data used to create them. Map data changes frequently

due to both natural and man-made causes. As a result, governmental and commercial cartography companies must

continuously review, correct, and improve upon their map data. We release new versions of our maps on a regular basis to

reflect these changes.

After processing the data, we test the compatibility of the map with our GPS devices to ensure that the products we release

work properly on our GPS devices. We also beta-test our products to get customer feedback prior to release.

2.4 Placement of Your GPS Receiver for Optimal Satellite Reception

FIrstly, before considering signal reception, it is important to understand that your GPS receiver is a sensitive piece of

equipment. You should never place it in an area of your vehicle where it may be struck by other items, or where vibration may

cause it to strike other items or parts of the vehicle. The windshield mount included in the box allows you to place the

receiver in such a way that the antenna can receive the satellite signal through the windshield without being obstructed by

other parts of the vehicle. However, tinted windows or other reflective coatings may interfere with reception. In this case, it

may be required to attach an external antenna (optional). An external antenna provides faster satellite fix times and greater

signal strength. Because it is mounted outside of the vehicle, it is not affected by reflective coatings on windows and has an

unobstructed line of sight to the satellites. Other mounting solutions are available but may require an external antenna.

External conditions also affect GPS signal reception. Although weather conditions do not affect the signal, tall buildings and

trees, driving through canyons, wooded areas, or tunnels, and sitting in a garage or covered parking area will affect the GPS

signal. The GPS receiver constantly monitors and updated the GPS signal status and will reacquire the signal once it is clear

of any obstructions.

2.5 Signal Acquisition Time

The first time you use your Magellan RoadMate 6000T, or if you travel over 500 miles with it off, there may be a delay in

receiving the initial satellite fix; depending on your position and the position of the satellites, this could take 15 minutes or

more. Normal usage will receive the satellite fix much faster, but still may take several minutes. It is important to have your

antenna rotated upward and an unobstructed view of the sky to receive the best possible satellite signal.

Chapter 2: GPS Information

2.6 GPS Maps and Your Safety

Remember, your GPS device is an aid to navigation. It must be used with common sense, and it is important that users

interpret GPS map data with a critical eye. Landscapes and roads change or may be impassable, trees and tall buildings can

obscure GPS signals, and your GPS device may not always reflect the complete picture. When using GPS, you must combine

the information provided by your GPS map with your relevant local knowledge, road signage, buoys, depth soundings and

changing local conditions to generate a complete understanding of your situation.

It is your responsibility to ensure compliance to all traffic laws, including pedestrian observance of crosswalks, and to use

good judgment while operating the Magellan GPS receiver. Safety must be your primary concern. The Magellan GPS receiver

must not be used while engaged in any activity requiring the user's full attention to the environment. For instance, the

Magellan RoadMate 6000T GPS receiver should be operated only by vehicle passengers or by the driver when the vehicle

has come to a complete stop. The driver must not attempt to view the display while driving. Disregard any unsafe, hazardous

or illegal route suggestions.

Magellan maps do not include, analyze, process, consider or reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as weight,

height, width, load and speed restrictions); road slope or grade; bridge height, width, weight or other limits; population

density; neighborhood quality or safety; availability or proximity of law enforcement, emergency rescue, medical or other

assistance; construction work zones or hazards; road, sidewalk, or waterway closures or conditions; weather conditions;

pavement characteristics or conditions; special events; traffic congestion; time of day.

*Thales Navigation licenses map data from governmental sources such as, but not limited to, U.S. Geological Survey

(USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA-NOS) and the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS).

Thales Navigation also licenses map data from commercial cartography companies such as Navigation Technologies,

Navionics, DMTI and C-Map.
