1 Magellan RoadMate GPS Receiver with DVR
The Magellan® RoadMate® receiver is a
vehicle navigation product with Digital Video
Recorder (DVR) functionality.
• Save location information to create a map
later of the places you went.
• Save all or part of the video for later
viewing.
It uses GPS signals from satellites to
calculate your precise location and compute
navigational information.
• Customize your Magellan RoadMate
receiver to meet your needs using the
Settings menu.
The DVR records continuous video, audio,
location, and other information. The video
provides an impartial witness in case of need.
The user interface for the Magellan RoadMate
receiver is intended to be easy and simple to
follow.
The RoadMate uses its position and
movement to overlay this information
on detailed maps to provide a visual
representation of your location.
The Magellan RoadMate receiver 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 Magellan RoadMate receiver to esternal
power. Note that a fully charged Magellan
RoadMate only has about 2 hours of battery
life. If you need or wish to use external power,
you can use an optional AC power adapter.
With the Magellan RoadMate receiver you
can:
• Save searches and addresses under the
OneTouch™ menu for fast, convenient
access to favorite destinations and
searches.
While the Magellan RoadMate has a powerful
GPS chipset, you may not get strong enough
satellite signals to compute your location when
indoors or in a parking garage. 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.
• Store your home address and quickly get
routing details to your home.
• Enter 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 QuickSpell™ and Smart City search for
easy, errorless address entry.
The Magellan RoadMate receiver includes
Voice Alerts (both prerecorded and Text-to-
Speech) for driving instructions.
• Route to any point of interest (POI) that
has been preloaded into your Magellan
RoadMate receiver.
• Create a route with multiple destinations.
Handy for business people who need
routing information to many destinations.
You may never need this manual, but if
you do, we hope you find it useful and the
instructions easy to follow.
• 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.
This document is set up to be printed on 8.5” x
11” paper.
