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.
