Magellan RoadMate GPS Receiver 1
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 and searches.
•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.
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 (both prerecorded and Text-to-
Speech) for driving instructions.

your reference.

(B) micro SD card slot. The microSD card is available for accessing optional map regions.
Check the Magellan store at www.magellangps.com for additional map regions that may
be available for your receiver.
(C) USB Connection. Power input from vehicle power adapter cable or optional AC power
adapter. Also used for connecting your receiver to a personal computer for updating
maps and software using the Magellan Content Manager application.
Reset
The reset button is located on the back of the
receiver in the lower right corner. If you have
problems with your receiver or in the unlikely
event that it locks up, use a paperclip and
gently insert it into the reset hole to press the
reset button with the receiver turned on. The
receiver should restart with the factory defaults
loaded.

•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 Magellan RoadMate
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.
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.
Whenever entering or searching on an
address the first screen displayed is the Enter
City Name keyboard.
As letters are entered, Quickspell checks the
database for cities beginning with the letters
entered. Keys that don’t spell a city in the
database are greyed out and Smart City Search
displays a suggested city in the text field.
If the city is correct, tap the button to
continue.
The
button can be tapped to display
the list of cities that begin with the letters
entered.
Quickspell and Smart City Search makes
entering an address quick and easy with little
chance for errors.
