Magellan Maestro
The Magellan Maestro is a vehicle navigation product that uses GPS signals from satellites to
calculate your precise location and compute detailed routes. As it knows its position and movement,
it can then overlay this information on detailed maps provided by NAVTEQ
®
to provide a visual
representation of your location.
With the Magellan Maestro you can:
•
Store your home address and quickly obtain routing details to your home.
•
Create and save addresses in your address book that you can access at any time and
obtain routing information to that address.
•
Route to an address that you enter using the keypad and Magellan’s QuickSpell feature for
easy, error-free entry.
•
Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your Magellan Maestro.
(Custom POIs can also be created and uploaded using the POI Manager software supplied
on the included CD-ROM.)
•
Route to a POI that appears on the map while travelling simply by tapping on the POI
icon.
•
Instantly obtain a list of all nearby auto-repair services.
•
Use the trip planner to create a trip with multiple destinations. Handy for business people
who need routing information to many destinations.
•
Use the POI Near Exit tool that provides you with a list of petrol stations, restaurants,
hotels and auto repair shops located nearby exits you are approaching that you can route
to when travelling along a motorway.
•
Customise your Magellan Maestro to meet your needs.
The interface for the Magellan Maestro 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 Maestro 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 it in to the AC power
socket. You should note that while indoors you may not get any satellite signals, so your location
information may not be updated. However, the power of the SiRFstarIII™ chipset installed in the
Magellan Maestro will pick up satellite signals in some very demanding locations, so you may notice
the Magellan Maestro computing a position, even indoors.
