Notes on Entering Data

If you are having trouble getting the results you expected, here are a few useful tips.

Check for apostrophes and hyphens. If you do not see the POI or street name you are looking for in the 
list, check to see if the name has an apostrophe or hyphen.

The more characters you enter, the smaller the list of possible options is from which to choose.

When entering a street or city name it is not necessary to use accented letters. You can enter city and 
streets names using only standard characters.

Smart City Search

The Magellan RoadMate receiver utilizes a feature known as “Smart City Search”.  Smart City Search attempts 
to predict the city you are looking for.  This prediction is based upon two factors; your position and cities you’ve 
gone to before.

In this example I am in Los Angeles and enter “PA”.  The receiver 
looks for cities I’ve already gone to as well as cities near my 
location that begin with “PA” and, in this case comes up with 
“PASADENA, CA”.

Numeric 

Keypad

Displays a numeric keypad that can be used to enter streets or 

cities that have numbers in their name.  (This is not to be used 
for entering an address number.)

List

(Enter City only)  While entering a city, press the List button to 

bring up a list of cities beginning with the characters you have 
entered.

Accept

(Entering City)  Accepts the suggested city that is displayed in 

the data field.  (Entering street) Brings up a list of streets 
beginning with the characters entered.
