Magellan RoadMate 1440 Receiver

The Magellan

®

 RoadMate

®

 receiver is a vehicle navigation product that utilizes GPS signals from satellites to 

calculate your precise location and compute navigational information that can be used to guide you to your 
destination. Knowing its position and movement, it can then overlay this information on detailed maps to provide 
a visual representation of your location.

With the Magellan RoadMate receiver you can:

Save searches and addresses under the OneTouch

 menu for fast, convenient access to favorite 

destinations.

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.

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.

Access the AAA TourBook

®

 providing ratings and descriptions on AAA-approved places to stay, play, dine, 

and save.

Find emergency addresses and phone numbers quickly and easily.  Additionally you can access AAA 

Member Roadside Assistance

 information from the OneTouch menu. 

View POIs that are 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.

Customize your Magellan RoadMate receiver to meet your needs using the Settings menu.

With the optional Traffic Link accessory, the Magellan RoadMate receiver can receive traffic information so 
as to avoid delays in your travel.

The user interface for the Magellan RoadMate receiver is easy and simple to follow once you understand the 
basics. You may never need to refer to this manual, but if you do we have tried to present it in a form that makes 
it easy for you to access the function you are trying to use and follow the steps provided.

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 the 
AC power using an optional AC power adapter. You should note that while indoors you may not get strong enough 
satellite signals to compute you location, so your location information may not be updated. However, the power of 
the GPS chipset installed in the Magellan RoadMate receiver will pick up satellite signals in some very demanding 
locations.  You may find that the Magellan RoadMate receiver is computing a position, even indoors.  Even with 
the improved GPS chipset, the receiver may not be able to always compute a fix indoors.  This is especially 
important to note if you are in a garage or other over hanging structure. 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.

The Magellan RoadMate receiver includes Voice Alerts (both prerecorded and Text-to-Speech) for driving 
instructions.

The Magellan RoadMate receiver has integrated traffic capabilities that can be accessed with the use of the 
optional Traffic Link accessory.

This document is set up to be printed on 8.5" x 11" paper should you desire a printed version for your reference.
