IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
The Magellan Maestro is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving to your selected destinations. When using
the Magellan Maestro, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself
or others:
• California and Minnesota law prohibits mounting any item to your windshield. Please check with your state or local law
enforcement for applicable regulations regarding windshield mounting. Go to www.magellanGPS.com for alternate
mounting solutions. An adhesive disk is supplied with the Magellan RoadMate for use as an alternate mounting solution
to the dashboard.
• When driving, the need to view the display is minimal. Voice prompts will guide you to your destination. The driver
should enter data or program the Magellan Maestro only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should
enter data or program the Magellan Maestro while the vehicle is moving.
• It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws.
• Every attempt is made to ensure that the database is accurate. However, roadways, points of interest (POIs), and
business and service locations may change over time. The database does not include, analyze, process, consider, or
reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions);
road slope or grade; bridge height, width, weight, or other limits; population density; neighborhood quality or safety;
availability or proximity of law enforcement, emergency rescue, medical, or other assistance; construction work zones or
hazards; road or lane closures; road, traffic, or traffic facilities’ safety or condition; weather conditions; pavement

Magellan Maestro 4000
The Magellan Maestro 4000 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
visual representation of your location.
With the Magellan Maestro 4000 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 entry.
• Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your Magellan Maestro.
(Custom POIs can also be created and uploaded using the POI Manager software supplied
on the included CD-ROM.)
• 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 streets.

AAA TourBook
also includes ratings, discount information for AAA members, hours of
to select a destination and get routing details to travel by. The
operation, information about the POI and other valuable facts,
• AAA Roadside Assistance for quick and easy access to information about your location to
assist in getting AAA services to your location.
• A trip planner to create a trip with multiple destinations. Handy for business people who
need routing information to many destinations.
• An exit POI tool that provides you with a list of gas stations, restaurants, hotels and auto
repair shops located nearby exits you are approaching that you can route to while traveling
on a freeway.
• Options that provide means to customize your Magellan Maestro to meet your needs.
The interface for the Magellan Maestro 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 Maestro 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 it in 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 power of the SiRFstarIII™ chipset installed in the Magellan Maestro
will get satellite signals in some very rough locations so you may notice the Magellan Maestro
computing a position, even indoors.
This document is set up to be printed on 8.5” x 11” (letter) paper should you desire a printed version

Installation Instructions
Installation of the Magellan Maestro is simple and easy. The hardest part will be picking the best
location.
Selecting the Location
A few tips on selecting the proper location.
• Mount the Magellan Maestro in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere
with your view of the road.
• The Magellan Maestro should be mounted in such a way that the antenna, (located in the
top of the receiver), has an unobstructed view of the sky through the windshield.
• Select whether it will be mounted using the adjustable mount to the windshield or the
supplied adhesive disk. Be sure to check your local and regional laws before mounting to
the windshield. Some states, like California and Minnesota, have laws restricting the
mounting of any device on the windshield.
• If planning to use the adhesive disk, a smooth surface on the dash board will need to be
selected. Do not attach the adhesive disk to the windshield.
• Make sure that the Magellan Maestro or any cabling will not be disturbed in the event that
the airbags are deployed.
Cleaning the Area
Use the alcohol pad that came with the Magellan Maestro to clean the area on the windshield or dash
that has been selected for mounting the Magellan Maestro.
Applying the Adhesive Disk
(Skip if mounting directly to the windshield.) Remove the protective tape from the back of the
adhesive disk. Apply the disk with the adhesive side towards the dash. Maintain pressure on the disk
for 5 minutes to allow it to set in place. Allow the disk 24 hours to cure before continuing.
Attach the Cradle
Line up the two mounting tabs on the cradle with
the mounting slots on the bottom of the Magellan
Maestro. Press the back of the cradle until it
snaps in place with the back of the receiver.
Please note that the mounting bracket supplied with the Magellan Maestro may be different then the one shown in this
document.
Installation 3
Attach the Adjustable Mount
Line up the two tabs on the adjustable mount with
the holes on the back of the cradle. Once the
adjustable mount is flush with the cradle, push the
cradle and receiver assembly down until they lock
in place with the adjustable mount.
Secure the Mount to the Windshield or Adhesive Disk
Make sure that the lever at the base of the adjustable mount is in the up position. Place the base of
the mount firmly over the area of the windshield to be used or the adhesive disk. Push the lever at
the base of the mount all the way down until it snaps in place. Carefully let go of the assembly,
making sure that it is securely mounted.
Adjust the Mount for Optimum Viewing
Loosen the adjustment locking knobs and position the Magellan Maestro for optimum viewing. Once
set, tighten the locking knobs. (Never attempt to adjust the mount while driving.)
Connecting Power
Plug the end of the cigarette lighter adapter into a
12 VDC cigarette lighter receptacle in the vehicle.
Connect the other end to the Magellan Maestro as
shown. There is a wire catch on the side of the
cradle to run the power cable through to prevent it
from disconnecting. If there is power at the
receptacle, the Magellan Maestro will power on.
(Note: some vehicles apply power to the cigarette
lighter receptacle only when the ignition is on.)
Security
It is recommended that the Magellan Maestro is not left in plain view while unattended for reasons of
theft. The easiest method for removing the Magellan Maestro once the mount is in place is to unsnap
it from the cradle by pressing on the tab at the top of the cradle.

Fundamentals 8
The Keypad
Understanding the keypad while entering an address is an important part of using your Magellan
Maestro. The keypad is the most common means of entering data into the Magellan Maestro, and
with such key features as QuickSpell, makes entering data quick and easy.
Keypad Overview
Special Keys
Alphabetic Keypad Numeric Keypad
Symbols Keypad Spacebar
Backspace
Accept Cancel
Selecting From List
After tapping “OK” to accept your input you may get a
list of items found in the database. The sample here
shows the result of tapping “OK” after entering “LOS
A”. Use the scroll bar to move up and down the list and
tap on the desired item in the list to continue.
Fundamentals 9
QuickSpell™
QuickSpell uses the information in the database to limit the keys that can be pressed to present only
those which can access information in the database.
For example, if you are looking for Los Angeles. As you
‘type’ in the name Los Angeles, only keys that can spell
a city in the database are shown. In the screen to the
right, ‘LOS “ has been entered. Keys that would not
continue to spell a city in the database are grayed out..
This is done to enable the city and street names to be
entered quickly and without any errors due to typos.
Notes on Entering Data
If you are having trouble getting the results you expected here are a few useful tips.
• Make sure that you have spelled the name correctly. If you are unsure of the spelling, just
enter a few characters and tap “OK”. A long list of names will be displayed but you can
step through the list and probably be able to find the correct spelling.
• Check for apostrophes. If searching a for Lowe’s Home Improvent Center you need to
enter the apostrophe. Entering ‘LOWES’ without the apostrophe will not display what you
are searching for.
• When entering a street name you can use the street prefix (N. E. W. S. etc.) to narrow the
search. For example to find N. Main St. you could enter “N. Main” or “N Main”.
• The more characters you enter, the smaller the list of POIs found will be.
Fundamentals 10
Map Screen
The most commonly used screen will be the Map screen. Whether on a route or just travelling around
town, chances are the Map screen will be displayed. There are two unique modes that the Map
