[. . . ] Magellan® RoadMateTM Reference Manual Instructions for Operating the Magellan RoadMate 300R IMPORTANT INFORMATION The Magellan RoadMate 300R (Regional) is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected destinations. 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: · · California law prohibits mounting any item to your windshield.

QuickSpell eliminates the possibility of a misspelled word or looking for a city or street that is not in the database. As you begin entering characters, the QuickSpell feature of the Magellan RoadMate dims out those characters that are not available, thereby speeding up the process of entering data. With AutoFill, as you enter characters the next name in the database matching the characters entered is displayed in the speller. Suppose that you need to input the name of a city, in this case, San Francisco. Also as you enter characters, the next city in the database matching the characters entered will show in the speller. 17 Chapter 7: Basic Operation Continue to enter characters. When you have entered enough characters to match the desired city, it will show in the speller. OK. However, because the city search lists all cities in the database matching the characters entered, it is possible to select a city that does not contain the street selected previously. In this case, you can either select Street to re-enter the street name; select City to choose only form cities that contain the desired street; or choose Back to continue spelling the city name. For this example select City. Enter the name of the desired city. Notice this time you enter fewer characters to match the desired city in the speller. 7. 3 Help with Address Entry When entering street names, please follow these simple guidelines to help you find your selection: · · Do not enter prefixes such as "N" or "North". Do not enter the street type such as "Ave. " or "Avenue" except in some cases where the street type is included before the street name (e. g. "Via Calle", "Avenue 378", or "Rue Andre"). "4th Street"), use the numeric keypad to enter "4" and go back to the alpha keypad to enter "th". For streets with multiple words such as "Overland Heights", you must enter the first word. Entering the word "Heights" will not return the desired street. When entering street names with a hyphen, replace the hyphen with a space. For common street names, it is recommended that you enter the entire street name to further narrow down the choices. If the city you are searching for is called "Town of [name]" (e. g. "Town of Brooklyn"), enter the name of the town followed by "Town of" (e. g. you would enter "Brooklyn Town of"). "Middletown Township", you would enter "Middletown Twp". 18 · · · · · Chapter 8: Selecting Destinations Select Region Select Address Previous Destinations List Addresses Address Book Create New Entry Trip Planner Search POI by Name Select Region Dining, ATM, Gas. . .
