Safety

This Magellan receiver is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving to your selected destinations. When using this Magellan product, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others:

• Please check with your state or local law enforcement for applicable regulations regarding mounting to the windshield.

Go to www.magellanGPS.com for alternate 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 Magellan receiver only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the receiver while the vehicle is moving.

• It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws.

• Every attempt is made to ensure that the database is accurate. However, roadways, points of interest (POls), and business and service locations may change over time. The database does not include, analyze, process, consider, or reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions); road slope or grade; bridge height, width, weight, or other limits; population density; neighborhood quality or safety; availability or proximity of law enforcement, 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 receiver safe from extreme temperature conditions.

For example, do not leave it exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time. The maximum operating temperature is 140°F (60°C).

• Take care when mounting the receiver in your vehicle, whether using the windshield mount or other mount or accessories, 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.

You assume the risks associated with damage to your vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result of your choices in mounting the receiver.

• The battery is rechargeable and should not be removed. In the event it should need to be replaced, please contact

Magellan Technical Support.

Installation

Choose a Location.

The Magellan RoadMate receiver needs a clear view of the sky to receive signals from the GPS satellites so choose a location with an unobstructed view of the sky, commonly on or near the windshield.

Clean the Surface.

Clean the area on the windshield and allow the surface to dry before attaching the mount.

Install the Car Cradle.

Attach the USB connector to the cradle as shown. Hold the cradle assembly firmly against the window surface and push lever towards the base.

Attach the Receiver.

Connect Power.

It is recommended that you connect the Magellan

RoadMate using the vehicle power cable before using for the first time.

The internal battery will begin charging as soon as power is supplied to the Magellan RoadMate through the vehicle power cable. (When the light on the vehicle power cable illuminates, it is properly connected to vehicle power. Note some vehicles require that the ignition be on before power is delivered to the power receptacle.)

General Information

Please refer to this handbook for questions on using the Magellan

RoadMate receiver. If you are still unable to answer your question, check our technical support web page at: http://www.magellanGPS.com/ support!.

Power On

Slide the power switch (A) to the left to turn the receiver on.

The first time you use the Magellan RoadMate it may take up to 4 minutes to compute your location under normal conditions. With adverse conditions (not having a clear view of the sky) the time to compute your location the first time can greatly increase.

Satellite Signal Strength

To view the satellite signal strength indicator, tap on the Menu button.

The signal strength indicator can be found in the upper right corner.

4 bars green:

Strong signal

Blank: No satellite signals. Unable to compute position.

If you are not getting your current location, use these tips to improve satellite signal reception.

Leave the garage or parking structure so the GPS receiver has a clear view of the sky.

Satellite signals can be blocked by tall buildings or on mountain roads, you may intermittently see a drop in signal strength in these locations.

Battery

The Magellan RoadMate has an internal battery that is charged whenever the receiver is being powered by the vehicle power cable or an external (optional) AC power adapter. It is estimated that a receiver can operate for 2 hours from a fully charged battery.

To view the battery strength indicator, access the Main menu. The battery strength is shown below the signal strength indicator.

It can take up to 4 hours to fully charge the battery, depending on the battery level. The battery does not need to be fully charged to use the

Magellan RoadMate receiver.

QuickSpell

TM

Your Magellan RoadMate receiver uses a feature known as

QuickSpell for entering cities and streets. QuickSpell displays only those keys that could be used to enter a city or address that is in the receiver's memory. For example, in the screen shown here for street entry, only the letters that spell a street are displayed. This greatly reduces the chance for errors as well speeds up the address entry process.

Tapping the checkmark (Street entry) or List button (City Name entry) to bring up a list of streets or cities that begin with the letters entered.

When the available cities or streets is short, the receiver will automatically switch to the list, displaying those items that begin with the letters you've entered.

Another way the Magellan

RoadMate makes entering an address easy is through the use of

Smart City Search. The Magellan

RoadMate receiver uses your location as well as cities you've created routes to before to try to figure out the city you are looking for. As you enter characters, the

'computed' city is displayed at the top of the screen.

If you tap on the city at the top of the display or on the green checkmark, it is selected as your destination city and you are then required to enter the street. Tap on LIST when the button is active to bring up the list of cities beginning with the characters you've entered. (Note that if the number of cities that begin with the characters you've entered is short, the list is automatically displayed.)

Routing to an Address

This example shows how to route to an address you enter.

( )

Other destination options are available to you from the Main Menu:

Points of Interest: These are preloaded points of interest that are grouped by category.

Previous: You can select a previous destination that you have already created a route to, even if you didn't complete the route.

Address Book: Addresses that you have entered and stored in your address book.

Intersection: Select two streets that intersect and a route can be created to that point.

City Center: Create a route to the geographical center of a city that you select.

Routing to a POI (Point of Interest)

Points of Interest can be searched by category or by entering a portion of the name. If searching by category you select the category the POI can be found in and, in some cases, choose a subcategory to further narrow down the list of POls.

Searching a POI by name involves using the electronic keyboard to enter a part of the POI name. Then a list of POls is displayed meeting the naming criteria.

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.

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 (Text-to-Speech) for driving instructions.

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”.

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.

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.

Attach the Power Cable to the Car Cradle

Attach the USB connector to the cradle as shown. The

USB connector will ‘snap’ in place when it is fully seated in the car cradle.

Securing the Car Cradle

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 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.)

8

9

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.

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.

Power Switch

The Magellan RoadMate uses a spring-loaded slider switch to power the receiver on and off.

Spring Switch

• Slide to the left to turn the receiver on or off.

• Slide to the left to turn the receiver off.

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.

When a route has been calculated, it will be displayed on the Map screen in green with small arrows indicating the direction of travel.

The top of the screen displays the name of the street that comes next in your Turn List together with its distance. If you are not in the city in which the next street is, the name of the city is displayed instead.

As the route progresses, voice alerts will be used to prompt you of upcoming maneuvers.

The Maneuver List displays all of the maneuvers needed to be made to complete the route and arrive at the destination. To view the Maneuver List, tap on the maneuver icon in the top left corner of the Map screen. (The Maneuver List is described in detail in the

Map chapter of this manual.)

Types of Routes

There are a wide variety of methods you can use to create a route.

Each method is discussed in the chapter which is associated with it.

Routing Method

Regardless of which route type has been created, the Magellan RoadMate needs to know how the route is to be calculated. Routes can be calculated by the following methods:

• Fastest Time (Fast): the fastest possible route provided the vehicle is able to travel at or near the speed limit.

• Shortest Distance (Short): the shortest possible route.

• Most Use of Freeway.

• Least Use of Freeway.

When a destination is selected, the Magellan RoadMate offers the route with the default selected routing method first.
