Traveling on a Route
Map Screen
When a route has been calculated, it will be displayed on the Map
screen in green with small arrows indicating the direction of travel.
The top of the screen displays the name of the street that comes
next in your Turn List together with its distance. If you are not in the
city in which the next street is, the name of the city is displayed
instead.
As the route progresses, voice alerts will be used to prompt you of
upcoming maneuvers.
Maneuver List
The Maneuver List displays all of the maneuvers needed to be
made to complete the route and arrive at the destination. To view
the Maneuver List, tap on the maneuver icon in the top left corner of
the Map screen. (The Maneuver List is described in detail in the
Map chapter of this manual.)
Types of Routes
There are a wide variety of methods you can use to create a route.
Each method is discussed in the chapter which is associated with
it.
Routing Method
Regardless of which route type has been created, the Magellan RoadMate needs to know how the route is to be
calculated. Routes can be calculated by the following methods:
•
Fastest Time (Fast): the fastest possible route provided the vehicle is able to travel at or near the speed
limit.
•
Shortest Distance (Short): the shortest possible route.
•
Most Use of Freeway.
•
Least Use of Freeway.
When a destination is selected, the Magellan RoadMate offers the route with the default selected routing method
first.
