Points of Interest (POI)
The Magellan RoadMate receiver has preloaded POIs that can be used as a destination for a route. Selecting a
restaurant or finding a gas station nearby is at your fingertips.
Creating a Route to a POI by Category
POIs are categorized into unique categories from gas stations to tourist attractions. Most, but not all categories
are further organized into subcategories. Restaurants have, for example, several subcategories that provide a
way to search for restaurants serving Chinese food, fast food, or other favorites.
1. From the Main Menu, tap the Points of Interest icon.
2. Tap one of the POI categories in the list.
3. If the next screen contains a list of subcategories, tap one of the POI subcategories in the list to further
narrow the search.
4. POIs near your current position are displayed. You can tap “Near...” for different search criteria (Near
Current Position, Near City, or Near Address).
5. If you select Near City or Near Address you will need to enter the city or address information.
6. Select the POI desired from the list of POIs.
7. The ‘Go’ screen appears with the address of the selected location, the estimated time of arrival (ETA), the
distance to travel, and the routing method (e.g. Fastest Time).
8. (optional) Tap Options if you want to change the routing method. You can select from Fastest Time,
Shortest Distance, Mostly Freeways or Least Use of Freeways.
9. Tap the large Go button on the right to return to the Map screen and begin navigating to the POI selected.
