IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
The N477 receiver is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected
destinations. When using the N477 receiver, these safety rules must be followed to prevent
accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others:
Please check the applicable regulations in your state regarding windshield mounting. Certain
states prohibit the mounting of any items on your windshield. Go to www.magellanGPS.com for
alternative 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 N477 receiver only when the vehicle is
stationary. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the N477 receiver while the
vehicle is moving. Do not become distracted by the receiver while driving, and always be fully
aware of all driving conditions.
It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws and to use the N477 and mounting options in
such a manner that the user is in compliance with applicable laws.
Roads, points of interest (POIs), business and service locations may change over time. As a result
the database may contain inaccuracy. Also, the database does not include, analyze, process,
consider, or reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as vehicle type, weight, height,
width, load and speed restrictions); road slope or gradient; bridge height, width, weight or other
limits; population density; neighborhood quality or safety; availability or proximity of police,
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 N477 receiver 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 N477 receiver in your vehicle, whether using the windshield mount
or other mounts, 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 receiver be dislodged while driving. It is your responsibility to assess the risks associated
with damage to your vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result of your choices in mounting the
N477 receiver.

Temperature
The maximum operating temperature is 140°F (60°C).
Battery
The battery in the N477 receiver is rechargeable and should not be removed. In the event that
it should need to be replaced, please contact Magellan Technical Support.
Charging the N477
An optional AC adapter is available as an accessory for your N477. Use of another type of AC
adapter can result in malfunction and/or possible fire hazard due to battery overheating.
Only use the car charger approved for/supplied with your N477 receiver. Use of another type
of car charger will result in fire or electric shock.
For safety reasons, the battery in your N477 receiver will stop charging when the ambient
temperature is less than 32°F (0°C) or more than 113°F (45°C).
It will take approximately 4 hours of charging the N477 receiver through the vehicle power
adapter or optional AC adapter to obtain a full battery charge. It is recommended that you
charge the battery initially for at least 2 hours.
Use only the charger approved for your N477 receiver.
Estimated usage of the N477 on battery power is approximately 2 hours.

1 N477 GPS Receiver
The N477 receiver is a vehicle navigation
product.
The user interface for the N477 receiver is
intended to be easy and simple to follow.
It uses GPS signals from satellites to
calculate your precise location and compute
navigational information.
The N477 receiver has a built-in battery. Note
that a fully charged N477 with 7” screen only
has about 30 minutes of battery life. If you
need or wish to use external power, you can
use an optional AC power adapter.
The N477 uses its position and movement
to overlay this information on detailed maps
to provide a visual representation of your
location.
With the N477 receiver you can:
• Save searches and addresses under the
OneTouch™ menu for fast, convenient
access to favorite destinations and
searches.
• Store your home address so you can
quickly get routing details from wherever
you are 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.
While the N477 has a powerful GPS chipset,
you may not get strong enough satellite
signals to compute your location when
indoors or in a parking garage. 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 N477 receiver includes Voice Alerts (both
prerecorded and Text-to-Speech) for driving
instructions.
• 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 N477
receiver.
• Create a route with multiple destinations.
Handy for business people who need
routing information to many destinations.
• 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.
• Save location information to create a map
later of the places you went.
• Customize your N477 receiver to meet
your needs using the Settings menu.

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.
QuickSpell
Another feature the N477 receiver uses to
make entering cities and streets easier is a
feature known as QuickSpell. As letters are
entered for a city or street the Quickspell
feature checks the database for cities or
streets that begin with the letters entered.
Any letters that could not be used to spell
a city or street name are greyed out. This
provides quick and error-free city and street
name entry.
Page 5
Smart City Search
The N477 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.
Whenever entering or searching on an
address the first screen displayed is the Enter
City Name keyboard.
Quickspell and Smart City Search makes
entering an address quick and easy with little
chance for errors.
Portrait/Landscape display mode
The default operating mode is Landscape,
and most screens in this manual are shown in

Search displays a suggested city in the text
field.
