Keypad
Understanding the keypad while entering an address is an important part of using your Magellan RoadMate
receiver. The keypad is the most common method for entering data into the Magellan RoadMate receiver.
Keypad Overview
Selecting From List
When a list of items found in the database are displayed, use the arrows on the right to move the list up and down
and tap on the desired item in the list to continue.
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.
