Using DirectRoute on the GPS Receiver
Viewing the Detailed Map
There are two ways to quickly view a DirectRoute map on the handheld.
1. Press the NAV or ESC key until you reach the Map screen. Use the cursor
key and the Zoom keys to find the general area of the detailed map. You
will see a rectangle indicating the area of the detailed map. Zoom in to at
least a scale of 0.40 mi. (700 m) to view the detailed map.
2. Press the Menu key and select “Database”. Select the detailed map, by its
name, from the list of options. Now you can search POIs in the detailed
map. Find a POI you want to see, press VIEW, and the POI in the
detailed map will appear.
About Street Routing and Guidance
DirectRoute is the first MapSend product with the ability to automatically
calculate a street route and use it for turn-by-turn guidance. DirectRoute
calculates shortest time street routes. Shortest time street route calculation
considers the speed limits and length of possible street paths between you and
your destination. The shortest time route is not necessarily the fastest or
simplest route. DirectRoute is tuned to provide reasonable street routes, but it
doesn’t know about traffic, road construction, etc.
DirectRoute also maintains the ability to manually set up simple, straight-line point-
to-point routes and multi-leg Waypoint Routes, similar to other Magellan MapSend
products. This Quick Start guide focuses on street routing. There is more informa-
tion about straight-line routing in the User Manual for your GPS receiver.
