Magellan RoadMate 1340 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.
• Find emergency addresses and phone numbers quickly and easily. Additionally you can access AAA
Member Roadside Assistance
™
information from the OneTouch menu.
• View POIs that are 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.
• With the optional Traffic Link accessory, the Magellan RoadMate receiver can 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.
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 you 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 over hanging 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.
The Magellan RoadMate receiver has integrated traffic capabilities that can be accessed with the use of the optional Traffic Link accessory.

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.
• Select whether it will be mounted using the adjustable mount to the windshield or an adhesive disk. 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.
• If planning to use the adhesive disk, a smooth surface on the dash board will need to be selected. Do not attach the adhesive disk to the windshield nor airbag covers.
Using the Adhesive Disk
If you plan on using the adhesive disk, you will first need to attach it to the dashboard and allow it to cure for 24 hours before continuing. Find a smooth, flat surface and clean it using the alcohol pad supplied.
Remove the protective tape from the back of the adhesive disk. Apply the disk with the adhesive side towards the dashboard. Maintain pressure on the disk for 5 minutes to allow it to set in place. Allow the disk 24 hours to cure before continuing.
Securing the Car Cradle to the Windshield or Adhesive Disk
Use the alcohol pad that came with the Magellan RoadMate receiver to 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 of the windshield or adhesive disk to be used. 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.

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 two 'feet'. You should notice a click when the receiver is fully mounted in the cradle.
Adjusting the Mount for Optimum Viewing
Loosen the adjustment locking knobs 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 12V DC vehicle power receptacle. Connect the other end of the cable to the Magellan RoadMate receiver's USB connector as shown.
Note: Some vehicles apply power to the vehicle power receptacle only when the ignition is on.
Routing the Cable
The 12V DC power cable and the optional Traffic Link cable are connected in the same manner. If you have the standard 12V DC power cable and have purchased the optional Traffic Link cable, replace the standard cable with the new cable.
Route the cable behind the Magellan RoadMate receiver as shown. Lock the cable into the cable retainer.
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.
Slide the power switch (located at the top right side of the Magellan RoadMate receiver) to the right. Sit in a normal driving position and make any final adjustments to the car cradle for optimum viewing. Make sure the adjusting knobs on the car cradle are firmly in place.
Slide the power switch again to the left to turn the Magellan RoadMate receiver off and turn the ignition switch of the vehicle to off. The Magellan RoadMate receiver is connected and ready for use.
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.

Smart City Search
The Magellan RoadMate receiver utilizes a feature known as “Smart City Search”. What this does is it attempts to predict the city you are looking for. This prediction is based upon two major 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”.
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 has 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 error-free city and street name entry.
Map Screen
The most commonly used screen is the Map screen. Whether you are following a route or just traveling around a city, the chances are that the Map screen will be displayed. The Map screen can be displayed in two unique modes: normal and routing.
In normal mode, your position is shown on the map along with the time. As you travel, your position will be updated, giving you a clear view of your position and surrounding streets.
