Magellan RoadMate Application
The Magellan
®
RoadMate
®
application is a vehicle navigation product that
utilizes GPS signals from satellites to calculate your precise location and
compute navigational information that can be used to guide you to your
destination. Knowing its position and movement, it can then overlay this
information on detailed maps to provide a visual representation of your
location.
With the Magellan RoadMate application you can:
•
Save searches and addresses under the OneTouch
™
menu for fast,
convenient access to favorite destinations.
•
Store your home address and quickly get routing details to your
home.
•
Route to an address that you enter using the QuickSpell
®
for easy,
errorless address entry.
•
Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your
Magellan RoadMate application.
•
Create a route with multiple destinations. Handy for business people
who need routing information to many destinations.
•
View POIs that are near exits ahead of you on the highway. The
Highway Exit POIs function provides you with a list of gas stations,
restaurants, hotels and auto repair shops located nearby exits you are approaching while travelling on the
interstate.
•
Customize your Magellan RoadMate application to meet your needs using the Settings menu.
The user interface for the Magellan RoadMate application 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 makes
it easy for you to access the function you are trying to use and follow the steps provided.
You should note that while indoors you may not get strong enough satellite signals to compute your location, so
your location information may not be updated. The application may not be able to always compute a fix indoors
due to the iPhone or Magellan Premium Car Kit not being able to receive GPS signals from the satellites.
(Reminder: the Magellan Premium Car Kit must have power applied to receive GPS information when using an
iPod touch.) This is especially important to note if you are in a garage or other overhanging structure. If you find
you are not getting strong enough 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.
