Maps and Data Maps and Data Basemaps vs. Detailed Map A basemap contains major map features such as highways and town centres. The basemap that is built into the Magellan RoadMate has basic detail sufficient for generally orienting oneself to a broad geographic area. The basemap is used when routing between detailed regions, or to a point on the map (this will be explained later). Detailed maps include all roads and highways, points of interest (POIs), geographic features, railways and street addresses.
SD Cards Secure Digital (SD) Cards Secure Digital (SD) Cards The Secure Digital (SD) card is a small, lightweight flash memory device that allows increased data storage for your Magellan RoadMate. The compact size is ideal for storing large amounts of data and not taking a lot of physical space. The SD card slot on your Magellan RoadMate uses what is called a “push-push” method of locking and releasing.
Installation Installation Vehicle Installation Take care when mounting the Magellan RoadMate in your vehicle, whether using the windscreen mount or another mount, that it does not obstruct the driver’s view of the road. Make sure that the fitting of the Magellan RoadMate and cable does not interfere with the operation of vehicle safety devices, such as air bags.
Installation Plug the cigarette lighter connector into an appropriate 12V receptacle in your car. Rotate the antenna upward. Installation is complete. You are ready to turn the Magellan RoadMate on and go. Installing the External Antenna The external antenna (not included) provides faster satellite fix times and greater signal strength. Because it is mounted outside of the vehicle, it is not affected by reflective coatings on windows and has an unobstructed line of sight to the satellites.
Installation Plug the end of the external antenna into the socket on the back of the unit. Attach the antenna to a flat portion of the roof of your vehicle. The antenna is magnetic. Do not use any adhesives to attach the antenna to your vehicle. Route the antenna cable so it does not interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
Basic Operation Basic Operation Turning the Magellan RoadMate On Ensure that you install the SD card as described in the “SD Cards” chapter before applying power to the Magellan RoadMate. Press the Power button. The Power button is located on the left side of the unit. See “Magellan RoadMate 300” on page 1 for button locations. If the power is properly connected a logo screen will be displayed.
Basic Operation Additional Characters (More) When you are entering information, you may need to add punctuation or other special characters. When available, select More to bring up the additional characters. Numerical Characters (123) You may also need to add numbers to your text. When available, select 123 to bring up the numeric keypad. Using QuickSpell® What Is QuickSpell? The Magellan RoadMate uses QuickSpell technology to provide you with the fastest method possible to enter characters.
Basic Operation Select “N”. Select “E”. When you feel that enough characters have been entered so that the list of towns is short enough to find “Genève”, select OK. Scroll up or down the list and select “Genève, SZ”. If the list is still too long, press the Cancel button to return to the keyboard and continue entering characters. The list of items found in the database is limited to 100 items.

Selecting Destinations Choosing the Routing Method Every route is calculated based on the Routing Method criteria selected. Every time a new destination is selected, the Magellan RoadMate prompts you for the method that will be used to calculate the route. Shortest Time: This selection calculates a route that should take the least amount of time using known speed limits, streets, and other information in the database.
Selecting Destinations Basemap Routing Basemap routing works if the point you wish to route to is outside your active detailed map area. The basemap covers all major European countries. You can create a route to a point on the map or to a major town centre located on the basemap. The Magellan RoadMate will use major highways for routing whenever the route you are creating requires you to use the basemap. Selecting a Point on the Map Zoom out to view a larger map area.
Selecting Destinations If your present position is in a detailed map, you will be routed normally. Once you exit the detailed map, you will be routed along major highways to the junction closest to your destination as indicated by the flag. Then a straight thin line will show to route you to your destination. Search BaseMap Town This function enables you to route to one of the town centres located in your Magellan RoadMate basemap. From the Select Destination screen, select Points of interest.
Selecting Destinations The Magellan RoadMate will calculate the route. When the calculations are complete, the Map screen will be displayed. The distance represents travel on roads and by using straight lines where no road data is present. The conditions for basemap routing apply. Where there is no road data, a straight line will connect your current position with the nearest junction, and from the junction to the town centre. Switching SD Cards You may want to access data stored on another SD Card.
Selecting Destinations Selecting a Destination Using “Select Address” Select Address A destination can be created by entering the street address that you want to go to.
