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 Magellan RoadMate receiver only when the vehicle is stationary. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the Magellan
RoadMate 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 Magellan RoadMate 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;
Magellan RoadMate 6230T-LM 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.

1 Magellan RoadMate GPS Receiver with DVR
The Magellan ® RoadMate ® receiver is a vehicle navigation product with Digital Video
Recorder (DVR) functionality.
It uses GPS signals from satellites to calculate your precise location and compute navigational information.
The DVR records continuous video, audio, location, and other information. The video provides an impartial witness in case of need.
The RoadMate uses its position and movement to 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.
• 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 near exits you are approaching while travelling on the interstate.
• Save location information to create a map later of the places you went.
• Save all or part of the video for later viewing.
• Customize your Magellan RoadMate receiver to meet your needs using the
Settings menu.
The user interface for the Magellan RoadMate receiver is intended to be easy and simple to follow.
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 external power. Note that a fully charged Magellan
RoadMate 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.
While the Magellan RoadMate 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 Magellan RoadMate receiver includes
Voice Alerts (both prerecorded and Text-to-
Speech) for driving instructions.
We hope you find this manual useful and the instructions easy to follow.

• 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.
RoadMate 6230-LM User Manual Page 5
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.
Quickspell and Smart City Search makes entering an address quick and easy with little chance for errors.
