Notes on Entering Data
If you are having trouble getting the results you
expected, here are a few useful tips.
• Check for apostrophes and hyphens. If you
do not see the POI or street name you are
looking for in the list, check to see if the
name has an apostrophe or hyphen.
• The more characters you enter, the smaller
the list of possible options is from which to
choose.
• When entering a street or city name it is
not necessary to use accented letters. You
can enter city and streets names using
only standard characters.
QuickSpell
Another feature the Magellan RoadMate
receiver uses to make entering cities
and streets easier is a feature known as
QuickSpell. As letters are entered for a city
or street the QuickSpell feature checks the
database for cities or streets that begin with
the letters entered. Any letters that could
not be used to spell a city or street name are
greyed out. This provides quick and error-free
city and street name entry.
