Both the Magellan RoadMate 500 and the Magellan RoadMate 700 have a
touchscreen display and keypad giving you two easy ways to input
information into your Magellan RoadMate. The examples here describe
using the
8-way arrow
keypad and the
Enter
button to input and accept
changes.
If you prefer to use the touchscreen, touch the
key directly on the screen with your finger.
Please use the method that is easiest for you.
N o t e p a d
The Magellan RoadMate uses QuickSpell technology to provide you the
fastest method possible to enter characters. QuickSpell eliminates the
possibility of a mispelled word or looking for a city or street that is not in
the loaded database. As you begin entering characters, the QuickSpell
feature of the Magellan RoadMate dims out those characters which are not
available, thereby speeding up the process of entering data.
