Points of Interest (POI)

The Magellan RoadMate receiver has preloaded POIs that can be used as a destination for a route. Selecting a 

restaurant or finding a gas station nearby is at your fingertips.

Creating a Route to a POI by Category

POIs are categorized into unique categories from gas stations to tourist attractions. Most, but not all categories 

are further organized into subcategories. Restaurants have, for example, several subcategories that provide a 

way to search for restaurants serving Chinese food, fast food, or other favorites.

Main Menu

, tap the 

Points of Interest

 icon.  

2. Tap one of the POI categories in the list. 
3. If the next screen contains a list of subcategories, tap one of the POI subcategories in the list to further 

narrow the search.

4. POIs near your current position are displayed.  You can tap “Near...” for different search criteria (

Near Address

).

5. If you select Near City or Near Address you will need to enter the city or address information.
6. Select the POI desired from the list of POIs.
7. The ‘Go’ screen appears with the address of the selected location, the estimated time of arrival (ETA), the 

distance to travel, and the routing method (e.g. Fastest Time).

8. (optional) Tap 

Options

 if you want to change the routing method.  You can select from Fastest Time, 

Shortest Distance, Mostly Freeways or Least Use of Freeways.

9. Tap the large Go button on the right to return to the 

Map

 screen and begin navigating to the POI selected.

Creating a Route to a Special POI (AAA TourBook)

database of POIs from the AAA TourBook. Some of these POIs 

have been rated by AAA.
