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:
Save searches and addresses under the OneTouch™ menu for fast,
convenient access to favorite destinations.
Store your home address and quickly get routing details to your home.
Enter and save addresses in your address book that can be accessed at
any time and get routing information to that address.
Route to an address that you enter using the QuickSpell™ and Smart City
search for easy, errorless address entry.
Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your
Magellan RoadMate receiver.
Create a route with multiple destinations. Handy for business people who
need routing information to many destinations.
Access the AAA TourBook® providing ratings and descriptions on
AAA-approved places to stay, play, dine, and save.
Access AAA Member Roadside Assistance™ information from the
OneTouch menu.
View 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.
Customize your Magellan RoadMate receiver to meet your needs using
the Settings menu.
Receive 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.
2
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.

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.
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 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”.
10
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.
11
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.
3. Tap WiFi
4. If the “Enable WiFi” button is unchecked, tap the button.
5. A list of available WiFi networks is displayed.
6. Tap on the desired network. (If the network requires a password there will
be a ‘key’ icon displayed. You will need to enter the password when its
requested.)

Installation Instructions
Installation of the Magellan RoadMate receiver 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 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.
Attaching the Magellan RoadMate receiver to the Car Cradle
Slide 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.
Attaching the Car Cradle to the Car Mount
Attach the car cradle to the car mount.
13
Attaching the Power Cable to the Car Cradle
Attach the USB connector to the cradle. The USB connector will ‘snap’ in place
when it is fully seated in the car cradle.
Securing the Car Cradle
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 Car Cradle shown here may be different from the Car Cradle supplied
with your Magellan RoadMate receiver, but the installation is the same for all
cradle styles.)
Adjusting the Mount for Optimum Viewing
Loosen 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.)
Connecting Power
Plug 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 Adjustments
If 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.
14
Power Button
Press the power button to turn the receiver on or off (suspend mode). Suspend
mode allows the receiver to turn on quickly the next time you use it. However,
if you want to turn the receiver completely off, press the power button and hold
for 3 seconds or more. (Turning the receiver completely off and then back on
[Power Reset] can sometimes solve any problems encountered while using
the receiver.)
Security
It 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.
