Magellan RoadMate Receiver

The 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:

zSave searches and addresses under the OneTouch™ menu for fast,

convenient access to favorite destinations.

zStore your home address and quickly get routing details to your home.

zEnter and save addresses in your address book that can be accessed at

any time and get routing information to that address.

zRoute to an address that you enter using the QuickSpell™ and Smart City

search for easy, errorless address entry.

zRoute to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your

Magellan RoadMate receiver.

zCreate a route with multiple destinations. Handy for business people who

need routing information to many destinations.

zAccess the AAA TourBook® providing ratings and descriptions on

AAA-approved places to stay, play, dine, and save.

zAccess AAA Member Roadside Assistance™ information from the

OneTouch menu.

zView POIs that are near exits ahead of you on the highway. The Highway

Exit POIs function provides you with a list of gas stations, restaurants,

hotels and auto repair shops located nearby exits you are approaching

while travelling on the interstate.

zCustomize your Magellan RoadMate receiver to meet your needs using

the Settings menu.

zReceive traffic information so as to avoid delays in your travel.

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.

ʳʳˡ˔˩ˠ˔ˡʳ˪˜˥˘˟˘˦˦

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. 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.

Selecting QWERTY or ABC Keyboard

1. Access the Main Menu.

2. Tap the Settings icon .

3. Tap Keyboard.

4. Select QWERTY or ABC.

Notes on Entering Data

If you are having trouble getting the results you expected, here are a few

useful tips.

zCheck 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.

zThe more characters you enter, the smaller the list of possible options is

from which to choose.

zWhen 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 Search

The 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”.

ˡ˔˩ˠ˔ˡʳ˪˜˥˘˟˘˦˦

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.

QuickSpell

Another 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 errorfree city and street name entry.

WiFi

To use the WiFi features of the Magellan RoadMate you must first establish a

WiFi connection. When a WiFi connection is established you will then be able

to browse the internet and check for software updates.

1. From the Map screen select MENU.

2. Tap the Settings icon.
