Basic User Manual

This document covers the basic operation of the Magellan RoadMate 500 and the

Magellan RoadMate 700 Vehicle Navigation Systems. The information provided

here is enough to give you all the normal operating features for using this product.

If you need additional information or if you require details on other functions, refer

to the Reference Manual found on the compact disc (CD-ROM) supplied with your

Magellan RoadMate.

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 should enter data or

program the unit only when the vehicle is stopped. 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, analyze, process,

consider or reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as

vehicular type, weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions); road

slope or grade; bridge height, width, weight or other limits; population

density; neighborhood 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.

The difference between the Magellan RoadMate 500 and the Magellan RoadMate

700 is in how the mapping data is stored. The Magellan RoadMate 500 uses

compact flash memory card which can store a selected area of mapping data that

can then be uploaded from the supplied software. The Magellan RoadMate 700

has an internal hard drive, pre-loaded with mapping data and over 2 million

Points of Interest for the United States and Canada.

For this document, both models will be referred to as the Magellan RoadMate

unless noted. Since the Magellan RoadMate 500 can store only a portion of the

United States and Canada, you may notice that the information displayed on your

Magellan RoadMate 500 may differ slightly from what is shown here.

4Basic Operation

How Do I Enter Text?

Whenever you need to input names, street addresses, etc., the Magellan RoadMate

will display a keyboard that allows you to use the 8-way arrow keypad and the Enter

key to highlight and select the alphanumeric characters.

Space Bar

Additional Characters

Accept Entry

Numerical Characters

Backspace

Both the Magellan RoadMate 500 and the Magellan RoadMate 700 have a

touchscreen display and keypad giving you two easy ways to input

information into your Magellan RoadMate. The examples here describe

using the 8-way arrow keypad and the Enter button to input and accept

changes.

If you prefer to use the touchscreen, touch the

key directly on the screen with your finger.

Please use the method that is easiest for you.

Notepad

The Magellan RoadMate uses QuickSpell technology to provide you the

fastest method possible to enter characters. QuickSpell eliminates the

possibility of a mispelled word or looking for a city or street that is not in

the loaded database. As you begin entering characters, the QuickSpell

feature of the Magellan RoadMate dims out those characters which are not

available, thereby speeding up the process of entering data.

What Is QuickSpell®?

Example:

Suppose that you need to input the name of a city, in this case, San Francisco.

QuickSpell checks the cities in the database

and determines which characters are

available based on city names in the

database. Use the 8-way arrow keypad to

highlight the “A” and press Enter.

The full keypad is displayed. Use the 8-way

arrow keypad to move around the keyboard,

and press Enter when the letter “S” is

selected.

Basic Operation

The available characters changes and the

text you are typing appears at the top of the

keyboard. Use the 8-way arrow keypad to

highlight the “N” and press Enter.

With “SAN” entered, QuickSpell determines

the only characters availble are “D”, “T”,

and the spacebar. In this example, we want

to continue to narrow the search. Use the 8-

way arrow keypad to highlight the spacebar

and press Enter.

You can now select “OK” and get a list of

cities that begin with “SAN ” and select San

Francisco from the list.

Using the QuickSpell keyboard, add “F” to

our city select text. Now the city list can be

checked again. Select “OK” and press Enter.

For the database used in this example, San

Francisco, CA is the only city displayed. Your

database could still show more cities and you

may need to enter more characters.

When you are entering characters you may

need to add punctuation or other special

characters. When available, pressing the

“More” button brings up a keypad with the

characters shown here.

Addtional Characters (“More” Button)

When available, pressing the “123” button

brings up a keypad with the numeric

characters shown here.

Numeric Characters (“123” Button)

6Basic Operation

Selecting “OK” brings up a list that would be

similar to the one displayed here. For this

example, you could select San Francisco very

easily. With a larger database installed, this

list could be very long and still difficult to

find the city you are looking for. Press the

escape button (or using the touchscreen,

touch the “X” in the upper right corner) to go back to the

QuickSpell keyboard to continue entering characters.

Where is the Volume Control?

The volume control is located at the top of the Magellan RoadMate. Use the

thumbwheel to set the volume of the speaker to a desired level.

Can the Voice Command be Repeated?

Yes. Anytime you may have missed a voice prompt, simply press the Repeat button

on the top of the Magellan RoadMate to have the last voice promt repeated.

Repeat ButtonVolume Control

How Do I Adjust the Contrast and Brightness?

The Magellan RoadMate has a light sensor on the front of the unit that will

automatically detect changes in lighting and adjust the brightness and contrast for

optimum viewing levels. You may also manually adjust the brightness and contrast

levels.

To access the contrast and brightness controls, press the

Option button and select “Configuration” from the list of

menu items. From the “Configuration” menu items, select

“Contrast” or “Brightness” and press Enter.

Use the left and right arrows from the 8-way arrow keypad

to adjust the contrast or the brightness to the levels desired.

Press Enter when you have the setting you want.
