Magellan Maestro 4245
The Magellan Maestro 4245 is a vehicle navigation product that uses GPS signals from satellites to
calculate your precise location and compute detailed routes. As it knows its position and movement,
®
it can then overlay this information on detailed maps provided by NAVTEQ
representation of your location.
With the Magellan Maestro 4245 you can:
• Store your home address and quickly obtain routing details to your home.
• Create and save addresses in your address book that you can access at any time and
obtain routing information to that address.
• Route to an address that you enter using the keypad and Magellan’s QuickSpell feature for
easy, error-free entry.
• Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your Magellan Maestro.
• Route to a POI that appears on the map while travelling simply by tapping on the POI
icon.
• Create a trip with multiple destinations using the trip planner. Handy for business people
who need routing information to many destinations.
to provide a visual
• View POIs that are ahead of you on the motorway. The POI Near Exit tool provides you with
a list of petrol stations, restaurants, hotels and auto repair shops located nearby exits you
are approaching while travelling along a motorway.
• Customise your Magellan Maestro to meet your needs using the User Options menu.
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
makes it easy for you to access the function you are trying to use 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 the Maestro to the AC
power socket. You should note that while indoors you may not get any satellite signals, so your
location information may not be updated. However, the power of the SiRFstarIII™ chipset installed in
the Magellan Maestro will pick up satellite signals in some very demanding 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
for your reference.

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 an
optional adhesive disk. Be sure to check your local and regional laws before mounting to
the windshield. (Adhesive Disks are available from the Magellan Store at
www.magellanGPS.com.)
• If planning to use an adhesive disk, a smooth surface on the dash board will need to be
selected. Do not attach the adhesive disk to the windshield nor airbag covers.
• Make sure that the Magellan Maestro nor any cabling will 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 that has
been selected for mounting the Magellan Maestro. Let the area dry completely.
Attach the Cradle to the Swivel Mount
Line up the two tabs on the swivel mount
with the holes on the back of the cradle.
Push the cradle down until it locks in place
with the swivel mount.
Secure the Swivel Mount to the Windshield
Please note that the swivel mount supplied with the Magellan Maestro may be different then the one shown in this
document.
Installation 3
Make sure that the lever at the base of the
adjustable mount is in the up position. Place
the base of the swivel mount firmly over the
area to be used. Push the lever at the base of
the swivel mount all the way down until it
snaps in place. Carefully let go of the
assembly, making sure that it is securely
mounted.
Attaching the Magellan Maestro to the Cradle
Align the tabs on the cradle to the indents on the
bottom of the Magellan Maestro. Swivel the
cradle up so that it is flush against the back of the
receiver and snap it into place.
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 vehicle power receptacle. Connect the
other end of the cable to the Magellan Maestro’s
USB connector as shown. If there is power at the
receptacle, the Magellan Maestro will power on.
(Note: some vehicles apply power to the vehicle
power receptacle only when the ignition is on.)
Installation 4
Connecting Traffic Antenna
Traffic FM
Connector
These instructions apply to those versions of the
Magellan Maestro that are “traffic-ready”.
Magellan Maestro’s with an external antenna input
(shown) are considered “traffic-ready”.
Plug the FM antenna connector from the Vehicle
Power Cable to the FM antenna jack on the
Magellan Maestro. See the section on Traffic for
additional set up information.
Installation 5
Check Connection and Final Adjustments
If the power indicator light on the vehicle power cable connector is on, power is being supplied to the
Magellan Maestro. If it is not on, check the cable connection to the vehicle power receptacle. If the
light is still not on, turn the vehicle’s ignition on.
Press the power button (located at the bottom right side of the Maestro) and hold down for a few
seconds. The Magellan Maestro will power on. Sit in a normal driving position and make any final
adjustments to the swivel mount for optimum viewing. Tighten the adjusting knobs on the swivel
mount to hold the Magellan Maestro firmly in place.
Press the power button again to turn the Magellan Maestro off and turn the ignition switch to the
vehicle to off. The Magellan Maestro is connected and ready for use.
Security
It is recommended that the Magellan Maestro is not left in plain view while unattended for reasons of
theft.
Please note that the Magellan Maestro is a receiver only and does not transmit GPS location signals.
The receiver nor the vehicle can be tracked using the Magellan Maestro.

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 you will probably be able to find the correct spelling.
• When the name of the town has a prefix such as ‘Saint’, ‘The’ ‘Le’, ‘La’ etc. you must
enter this prefix in order to obtain the expected result.
• When entering a street name, you can usually enter only one of the significant words in
the street name to retrieve it from the database. However, if you are having trouble finding
the street you are looking for, we recommend trying to type in its full name.
• The more characters you enter, the smaller the list of entries found will be.
