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.
1. From the 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 Current Position, Near City, or 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)
Your Magellan RoadMate receiver is shipped with a built-in database of POIs
from the AAA TourBook. Some of these POIs have been rated by AAA.
