Magellan RoadMate GPS Receiver
The Magellan® RoadMate® receiver is a
vehicle navigation product that uses GPS
signals from satellites to calculate your
precise location and compute navigational
information to guide you to your destination.
Knowing its position and movement, your
receiver can then overlay this information
on detailed maps to provide a visual
representation of your location.
With the Magellan RoadMate, you can:
• Save searches and addresses to the
OneTouch™ menu for quick access to
favorite destinations.
• Store your home address and quickly get
routing details to your home.
• Enter and save addresses in your address
book and get routing information to those
addresses at any time.
• Route to an address using the QuickSpell™
and Smart City search for easy, errorless
address entry.
• Route to any Point of Interest (POI)
preloaded into your Magellan RoadMate
receiver, including hospitals, restaurants,
shopping malls, parks, and more.
• Receive navigation instructions with Voice
Alerts (Text-to-Speech).
• Create a route with multiple destinations.
• View Highway Exit POIs, a list of gas
stations, restaurants, hotels and auto
repair shops located at nearby highway
exits.
• Personalize your Magellan RoadMate
receiver in the Settings menu.
• Receive traffic information to avoid delays
in your travel (select models only).
Create and customize routes and settings,
knowing that Magellan RoadMate will always
provide cutting-edge mapping, low-power
battery consumption, and secure technology
for your navigation needs.
The Magellan RoadMate receiver 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
the Magellan RoadMate receiver to AC power
using an optional AC power adapter.
Note:
While indoors, you may not get sufficient
satellite signals to compute your location,
so your location information may not be
updated. However, the GPS chipset installed
in the Magellan RoadMate receiver will pick
up satellite signals in some very demanding
locations. You may find that the Magellan
RoadMate receiver will even compute a
position indoors. Even with the improved GPS
chipset, the receiver may not be able to always
compute a fix indoors.
If you are not getting sufficient satellite signals
while in a garage or other structure, move
to a location where there is a clear view of
the sky, and you should immediately see an
improvement in signal strength.
Thank you for using the Magellan RoadMate.
