Another
way
the
Magellan
RoadMate
makes
entering
an
address
easyisthrough
the
use
of
Smart
City
Search.
The
Magellan
RoadMate
receiver
uses
your
locationaswellascities
you've
created
routestobeforetotry
to
figure
out
the
city
you
are
looking
for.Asyou
enter
characters,
the
'computed' cityisdisplayedatthe
topofthe
screen.
Your
Magellan
RoadMate
receiver
usesafeature
known
as
QuickSpel1
for
entering
cities
and
streets
whenever
possible.
QuickSpel1
displays
only
those
keys
that
couldbeusedtoenter
a
city
or
address
thatisin
the
receiver's
memory.
For
example,
in
the
screen
shown
here
for
street
entry,
only
the
letters that
spell
a
street
are
displayed.
This
greatly
reduces
the
chance
for
errors
as
wellasto
speedupthe

As
more
letters
are
entered, the
keyboard active characters
change
indicating which characters
can
be
used
to spell the cityorstreet.
Here
only theA,D,I,L,or0 could
be
used
to enter a street for the city
chosen.
When
enteringanaddress only
those characters that
canbeused
to
spell the city
or
street
are
shown
as
active. Note that
here
there
are
no
streets for the city
chosen
that
begin with
Q,
X,orZ
and
are
grayed
out.
This speeds
up
enteringanaddress greatly
and
avoids misspelling the
word
you
are
trying to enter. Tappingonthe checkmark will bringupa list of the
cities
or
streets that begin with the letters you've entered.
When
the
available cities
or
streetsisshort, the receiver will automatically switch to
the list, displaying those items that begin with the letters you've entered.
In
this example, a
userinSan
Dimas
has
entered "SAN F"
and
the receiver
has
chosen "SAN
FERNANDO,
CAli
as
the probable city.
Had
the
user
been
in
Oakland,
CA,
the receiver would
be
displaying
SAN
FRANCISCO,
CA.
If
you
taponthe city at the top of the displayoron
the
green
checkmark, it
IS selected
as
your destination city
and
you
are
then required to enter the
street.
TaponLIST
when

you
were.
When

it.
You

is
computing
a position fix,
you
can

longitude coordinates to assign your home
position.
After following these steps and tapping
the green checkmark, the address

Next time
you
access the Home icon
you
can set a route to your home.
On
some occasions
you

you
cannot enter the name of the street
you

in the receiver's memory. Most likely this
is a new street and wasn't included at the
time
of production. If this occurs
you
may
want to visit the Magellan
web
site
(www.magellangps.com) and check for a
map update.
