1Magellan RoadMate ReceiverThe Magellan® RoadMate® receiver is a vehicle navigation product that utilizes GPS signals from satellites to calculate your precise location and compute navigational information that can be used to guide you to your destination. Knowing its position and movement, it can then overlay this information on detailed maps to provide a visual representation of your location.With the Magellan RoadMate receiver you can:The user interface for the Magellan RoadMate receiver 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 RoadMate receiver 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 Magellan RoadMate receiver to the AC power using an optional AC power adapter. Note that a fully charged Magellan RoadMate only has about 2 hours of battery life. You should note that while indoors you may not get strong enough satellite signals to compute your location, so your location information may not be updated. However, the power of the GPS chipset installed in the Magellan RoadMate receiver will pick up satellite signals in some very demanding locations. You may find that the Magellan RoadMate receiver is computing a position, even indoors. Even with the improved GPS chipset, the receiver may not be able to always compute a fix indoors. This is especially important to note if you are in a garage or other overhanging structure. If you find you are not getting strong enough satellite signals while in a garage or other structure, move to a location where there is a clear view of the sky and you should immediately see an improvement in signal strength.The Magellan RoadMate receiver includes Voice Alerts (Text-to-Speech) for driving instructions.This document is set up to be printed on 8.5" x 11" paper should you desire a printed version for your reference.

6Selecting From ListWhen a list of items found in the database are displayed, use the arrows on the right to move the list up and down and tap on the desired item in the list to continue.Selecting QWERTY or ABC Keyboard1.Access the Main Menu.2.Tap the Settings icon .3.Tap Keyboard.4.Select QWERTY or ABC.Notes on Entering DataIf you are having trouble getting the results you expected, here are a few useful tips.•Check for apostrophes and hyphens. If you do not see the POI or street name you are looking for in the list, check to see if the name has an apostrophe or hyphen.•The more characters you enter, the smaller the list of possible options is from which to choose.•When entering a street or city name it is not necessary to use accented letters. You can enter city and streets names using only standard characters.Smart City SearchThe Magellan RoadMate receiver utilizes a feature known as “Smart City Search”. Smart City Search attempts to predict the city you are looking for. This prediction is based upon two factors; your position and cities you ’ve gone to before.In this example I am in Los Angeles and enter “PA”. The receiver looks for cities I’ve already gone to as well as cities near my location that begin with “PA” and, in this case comes up with “PASADENA, CA”.In this example “PA” has been entered again but this time the receiver is in Atlanta, GA. The city displayed now is Palmetto, GA, so location has changed the predicted city to one closer to your location.List(Enter City only) While entering a city, press the List button to bring up a list of cities beginning with the characters you have entered.Accept(Entering City) Accepts the suggested city that is displayed in the data field. (Entering street) Brings up a list of streets beginning with the characters entered.
7QuickSpellAnother feature the Magellan RoadMate receiver uses to make entering cities and streets easier is a feature known as QuickSpell. In the example to the right, “CE” has been entered for a street name in Chicago, IL. The Magellan RoadMate receiver has predicted that the street name may be Cedar Ave. Also, it has greyed out any letters that could not be used to spell a street name in the database. This provides quick and error-free city and street name entry.
8Installation of the Magellan RoadMate receiver is simple and easy. The hardest part will be picking the best location.Selecting the LocationA few tips on selecting the proper location.•Mount the Magellan RoadMate receiver in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere with your view of the road.•The Magellan RoadMate receiver 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.•Make sure that the Magellan RoadMate receiver or any cabling will not be disturbed if the airbags are activated.•Be sure to check your local and regional laws before mounting to the windshield. Some states have laws restricting the mounting of any device on the windshield.Attach the Power Cable to the Car CradleAttach the USB connector to the cradle as shown. The USB connector will ‘snap’ in place when it is fully seated in the car cradle.Securing the Car CradleUse the alcohol pad that came with the Magellan RoadMate receiver to clean the area on the windshield that has been selected for mounting the Magellan RoadMate receiver. Let the area dry completely.Make sure that the lever at the base of the adjustable mount is in the up position. Place the base of the car cradle firmly over the area where it will be placed. 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.(The mount shown here may be different from the mount supplied with your Magellan RoadMate receiver, but the installation is the same for all styles.)Attaching the Magellan RoadMate receiver to the Car CradleSlide the Magellan RoadMate receiver on the car cradle so that the slot on the Magellan RoadMate receiver aligns with the tab on the car cradle. Slide the Magellan RoadMate receiver all the way down until it rests on the 'feet'. You should notice a click when the receiver is fully mounted in the cradle.Adjusting the Mount for Optimum ViewingLoosen the adjustment locking knob and position the Magellan RoadMate receiver for optimum viewing. Once set, tighten the locking knobs. (Never attempt to adjust the mount while driving.)
9Connecting PowerPlug the end of the vehicle power adapter into a 12VDC vehicle power receptacle. Be sure to avoid routing the power cable over airbags.Note: Some vehicles apply power to the vehicle power receptacle only when the ignition is on.Checking Connection and Final AdjustmentsIf the power indicator light on the vehicle power adaptor is on, power is being supplied to the Magellan RoadMate receiver. 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.The Magellan RoadMate uses a spring-loaded slider switch to power the receiver on and off.SecurityIt is recommended that the Magellan RoadMate receiver is not left in plain view while unattended for reasons of theft.Please note that the Magellan RoadMate receiver is a receiver only and does not transmit GPS location signals. Neither the receiver nor the vehicle can be tracked using the Magellan RoadMate receiver.•Slide to the left to turn the receiver on or off.•Slide to the left to turn the receiver off.
