Traveling on a Route

Map Screen

When a route has been calculated, it will be displayed on the Map 
screen in green with small arrows indicating the direction of travel. 
The top of the screen displays the name of the street that comes 
next in your Turn List together with its distance. If you are not in the 
city in which the next street is, the name of the city is displayed 
instead.

As the route progresses, voice alerts will be used to prompt you of 
upcoming maneuvers.

Maneuver List

The Maneuver List displays all of the maneuvers needed to be 
made to complete the route and arrive at the destination. To view 
the Maneuver List, tap on the maneuver icon in the top left corner 
of the Map screen. (The Maneuver List is described in detail in the 
Map chapter of this manual.)

Types of Routes

There are a wide variety of methods you can use to create a route. 
Each method is discussed in the chapter which is associated with 
it. 

Routing Method

Regardless of which route type has been created, the Magellan RoadMate needs to know how the route is to be 
calculated. Routes can be calculated by the following methods:

Fastest Time (Fast): the fastest possible route provided the vehicle is able to travel at or near the speed 
limit.

Shortest Distance (Short): the shortest possible route.

Most Use of Freeway.

Least Use of Freeway.

When a destination is selected, the Magellan RoadMate offers the route with the default selected routing method 
first.

1. To change the routing method, tap 

Options 

when the ‘Go’ screen is displayed. The Magellan RoadMate 

calculates the route with different methods.

2. Tap on the 

 icon to view the maneuver list for the route method desired.

3. Tap the desired routing method in the list, and the previous screen returns with the new calculation.

To permanently change the routing method 

1. From the 

Main Menu

, tap the 

Settings

 icon.

2. Tap 

Navigation Preferences

.

3. Use the
