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.
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.
