The Magellan RoadMate is a vehicle navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected
destination. When using the Magellan RoadMate, these safety rules must be followed to prevent
accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others:
• When driving, the need to view the display is minimal. Voice prompts will guide you to your
destination. The driver must not enter data or program the unit unless the vehicle has come to a
complete stop. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the unit while the vehicle is
moving.
• It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws.
• While every attempt is made to ensure that the database is accurate, roadways, points of interest,
and business and service locations may change over time. The database does not include, analyse,
process, consider or reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight,
height, width, load and speed restrictions); road slope or gradient; bridge height, width, weight or
other limits; population density; neighbourhood 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 characteristics or conditions; special events; traffic congestion. It is your responsibility
to disregard any unsafe, hazardous or illegal route suggestions.
•Protect the Magellan RoadMate from extreme temperature conditions. When the temperature has
exceeded safe operating limits, the Magellan RoadMate will not turn on until the internal
temperature is within operating limits. A warning will be displayed indicating that the operating
temperature of the Magellan RoadMate is outside of these limits.

personal use, without the prior written permission of Thales Navigation.

Installation
Take care when mounting the Magellan RoadMate in you vehicle, whether using the windscreen mount,
vent mount or other mount, that it does not obstruct the driver’s view of the road. Make sure that the
positioning of the Magellan RoadMate and cable does not interfere with the operation of vehicle safety
devices, such as air bags. You assume the risks associated with damage to your vehicle or vehicle’s
occupants as a result of how you choose to mount the Magellan RoadMate.
Installation using the Windscreen Mount
Attach the mounting plate to the cradle using the four supplied Phillips
screws.
Slide the cradle and plate assembly onto the windscreen mounting
bracket.
Attach the Magellan RoadMate to the cradle.
Clean the relevant area of the windscreen with the supplied alcohol swab.

Using QuickSpell®
What Is QuickSpell?
The Magellan RoadMate uses QuickSpell technology to provide you with the fastest
possible method of entering characters. QuickSpell eliminates the possibility of a misspelled
word or looking for a town or street that is not in the map database. As you begin entering
characters, the QuickSpell feature of the Magellan RoadMate greys out those characters
which are not available, thereby speeding up the data entry process.
Example:
Suppose that you need to input the name of a town, in this case,
PAR IS .
Select "P" using the 8-way arrow keypad and press Enter.
10
Select "A" using the 8-way arrow keypad and press Enter.
Select "R" using the 8-way arrow keypad and press Enter.
When you feel that enough characters have been entered so that the
list of towns is short enough to find PARIS in the list, select "OK"
using the 8-way arrow keypad and press Enter.
Basic Operations
Use the 8-way arrow keypad to select "PARIS" from the list and
press Enter. (If you are using the touchscreen to select the town,
use the scroll bar to the right of the list to scroll the list up and
down.)
If the list is still too long press Cancel to return to the keyboard to continue entering characters. The list of
items found in the database is limited to 100 items. When over 100 items have been found,
"Matches>100" will be displayed in the bottom right corner of the display and you may need to press
Cancel and enter additional characters.
Basic Operations
11
Using FlexAddress
What is FlexAddress?
FlexAddress is a very powerful feature which allows you to search for an address by typing
any significant word in its name.
Example:
Suppose you want to go to Place Charles de Gaulle in Paris. Either
enter ’CHARLES’ to be presented with a list of all places
containing Charles in their names and pick ’Place Charles de
Gaulle’ from the list...
...or enter ’GAU’ and press OK to be presented with a list of all
places beginning with these three letters.
TM
Both methods allow you to quickly select the same destination!

Selecting a Destination
Selecting a Destination
Selecting a Destination Using Street Address
When the address that you want to go to is not stored in your address book or your Previous Destinations
list, select your destination by entering the street address.
Your Magellan RoadMate uses one address database for each European country. The first step in
searching for a new address is to check that the correct country is selected. Once the correct country is
selected four search options are available:
•use "Search by Town" to enter the name of the town that the address can be found in.
•use "Search by Postcode when you do not know, or are unsure of, the town name but you do know the
postcode for the address. You will be given a list of all towns matching the postcode you entered.
•use "Search by Area" when you do not know, or are unsure of, the town name but you do know
which area it is in. You will be given a listing of all the towns for the area you entered which have the
street name you are looking for. Please note that the type of area depends of the country currently
selected (County in England, Département in France, Kreis in Germany, etc.).
•use "Previous Towns" to select the town that the address can be found in from a list of towns you
previously searched.
Selecting a Destination Using Street Address - Select the Country
From the Destination screen, check in the title bar that the
appropriate country is selected. In our example we are looking for
an address in Paris, France.
To select the required country select the Earth icon and press Enter
to display the list of all countries in your map database. Use the 8way arrow keypad to scroll the list up and down. When you see the
name of the country you are looking for, select it and press Enter.
France is now displayed in the screen title bar.
