Magellan RoadMate 1230
The Magellan RoadMate 1230 is a vehicle navigation product that utilizes GPS signals from satellites
to calculate your precise location and compute details about its travel. Knowing its position and
movement, it can then overlay this information on detailed maps provided by NAVTEQ
®
to provide a
visual representation of your location.
With the Magellan RoadMate 1230 you can:
•
Store your home address and quickly get routing details to your home.
•
Create and save addresses in your address book that can be accessed at any time and get
routing information to that address.
•
Route to an address that you enter using the keypad and Magellan’s QuickSpell feature for
easy, errorless address entry.
•
Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your Magellan RoadMate.
•
Route to a POI that appears on the map while traveling simply by tapping on the POI icon.
•
Route to an intersection by selecting the intersecting streets.
•
Create a trip with multiple destinations using the trip planner. Handy for business people
who need routing information to many destinations.
•
View POIs that are ahead of you on the freeway. The exit POI function provides you with a
list of gas stations, restaurants, hotels and auto repair shops located nearby exits you are
approaching while traveling on a freeway.
•
Customize your Magellan RoadMate to meet your needs using the User Options menu.
The interface for the Magellan RoadMate is easy and simple to follow once you understand the basics.
You may never need to refer to this manual but if you do we have tried to present it in a form that you
can access the function you are trying to complete and follow the steps provided.
The Magellan RoadMate 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 to
AC power. You should note that while indoors you may not get any satellite signals so your location
information would not be updated. However, the Centrality™ chipset installed in the Magellan
RoadMate will get satellite signals in some very rough locations so you may notice the Magellan
RoadMate computing a position, even indoors.
