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.
Accessing the Maneuver List
When actively following a route, tap the
maneuver icon in the top left corner of the
Map screen.

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: creates a route that uses
freeways whenever possible.
Least Use of Freeway: creates a route that
avoids use of freeways.
When a destination is selected, the Magellan
RoadMate offers the route with the default
selected routing method first.
Changing the Routing Method
To change the routing method, tap Options
when the ‘Go’ screen is displayed. The
Magellan RoadMate calculates the route with
different methods.
