If you are looking for airports, ATMs, schools, parks or other special Points of Interest
(POI), the quickest way is to select from the list that is included in the database for
your Magellan RoadMate. In this example we need to go to San Francisco
International Airport in San Francisco, CA.
The first step is to select “Dining, ATM,
Gas...” from the Select Destination menu.
Next you need to indicate how you plan on
accessing the name of the Point of Interest
you are looking for.
Spell Name:
Use the keyboard to enter
the first few characters in the name.
After pressing “OK” you will be given a
list of all the places stored in your database that begin with those characters.
Select Category:
This option allows you to select from a list of available POI
categories.
How Do I Select a Point of Interest as a Destination?
Points of Interest (commonly referred to as a POI’s), are locations of
commercial, recreation landmarks or services that are preloaded into the
Magellan RoadMate. These range from restaurants, parks, gas stations and
banks to schools and police stations. The purpose of the POI database
(accessed through the “Dining, ATM, Gas...” menu option) is to provide
you a list of popular destinations that you might be interested in going to,
without having to add them to your address book manually.
