Chapter 17: Magellan RoadMate POI Manager
The Magellan RoadMate POI Manager enables you to transfer custom points of interest files from your computer to your
Magellan RoadMate 6000T.
Before we add any custom POI’s to the Magellan RoadMate 6000T, you should understand how the POI Manager plots POIs.
17.1 Latitude
Latitude can be expressed by dividing Earth into horizontal segments
totalling 180 degrees. Starting at the Equator, or zero degrees Latitude,
lines (or Parallels) are drawn in 10-degree increments 90 degrees to the
north and 90 degrees to the south. If your location is below the Equator,
you are at a South Latitude.
17.2 Longitude
Conversely, longitude lines can be expressed by dividing Earth into vertical
segments totalling 360 degrees. Starting at the Prime Meridian (which is
The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England), or zero degrees Longitude,
lines are drawn in 10-degree increments 180 degrees to the West and 180
degrees to the East. If your location is on the western hemisphere, you are
at a West Longitude.
Additionally, to narrow down your location further, each 10-degree segment
is divided into 60 smaller segments called minutes and, still further, each
minute is divided into 60 segments called seconds.
To express this in coordinates, the city of Los Angeles is located at 34°
(degrees) 03’ (minutes) and 08 (seconds) North of the Equator, and 118°
(degrees) 14’ (minutes) and 42 (seconds) West of the Prime Meridian.

17.3 Altitude
Each location can also have an Altitude. Altitude is expressed
by how far the point is above or below the level of the ocean, or
Sea Level. For example, Los Angeles, California is about 300
feet above sea level. Death Valley, California is about 270 feet
below sea level.
Turn on your Magellan RoadMate 6000T by pressing and holding the Power button for approximately 2-3 seconds, 10
seconds if not in sleep mode (see “Top View” on page 6). When the Warning screen appears, insert the small end of the
USB cable into the USB port on your Magellan RoadMate 6000T, and the large end into an available USB port on your
computer.
Launch the Magellan RoadMate Tools application. From the Magellan RoadMate Tools screen, click on POI.
The left side of the window shows the contents of your computer and the right side of the window shows the contents of the

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my street not showing up on the map?
The Magellan RoadMate 6000T uses the most current available map data. Chances are, your street is in a new housing
development or the street is new. Map updates may be made available once per year.
I know there is a gas station on this street corner, why is there not icon for it on the map?
Check your POI settings and make sure you have the necessary POI checked to make it visible on the map. See “POI
Selection” on page 55.
The Magellan RoadMate 6000T uses the latest POI data available. Chances are the POI you are looking for is relatively new
and has not been added to the database. If this is not the case, it may have been overlooked or changed since the POI
database was created. You can add custom POIs to your Magellan RoadMate 6000T to make up for those you route to often.
See “Chapter 17: Magellan RoadMate POI Manager” on page 112., and “Custom POIs” on page 55.
The GPS signal is weak. What’s going on?
You may be driving through an area that has tall buildings or trees, or a canyon, or a tunnel. These conditions may interfere
with satellite signals. Wait a few moments and the signal should get better as more satellites are acquired. If the problem
persists, there may be a problem with the antenna. Contact Technical Support.
Why is an address I know I routed to not in the Previous Destinations list?
The Previous Destinations list stores the last 50 places you routed to. When you get to number 51, the first destination on
the list is removed and each successive destination is moved up.
Can I play MP3’s and Route at the same time?
No
Can I import a play list from Windows Media Player?
No. The Music Player does not support playlists from other applications.
Can I use any third party SD/MMC card with the Magellan RoadMate 6000T
The Magellan RoadMate 6000T is compatible with most major brands of SD/MMC card.
