User manual MAGELLAN MRM 800NA

[. . . ] The Magellan RoadMate 800 is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected destinations. When using the Magellan RoadMate, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others: · When driving, the need to view the display is minimal. The driver should enter data or program the unit only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the unit while the vehicle is moving. [. . . ] If you exit the planned route before its completion and turn off your vehicle, the Magellan RoadMate will switch to battery power, unless your cigarette lighter maintains constant power. In either situation, the unit will autmatically suspend power when enabled through customization. While in "sleep" mode, navigation functions will be suspended and guidance will resume when the unit wakes up. If while routing, the unit fails to respond, reset the unit as described on page 29. While traveling or setting up your destination you may find it necessary to exclude one of the maneuvers in the Maneuver List. This could be due to an accident or street maintenance you want to avoid. The Magellan RoadMate provides you with tools to select a specific maneuver, exclude it from the planned route and reroute the trip. This calculation is done using the same Route Method that was chosen originally. Anytime that you want to view information about your present location you can press the LOCATE key. The first screen displays your heading and the street you are on, the state and city you are currently traveling in, the latitude and longitude of your present location, a compass, and your speed. The next screen displays the street you are currently traveling on, the distance to and the next street on the map, and the distance from and the last street you passed. While you are in the Locate screen, you can save your current location to your Address Book. Select Edit Name and/or Edit Information and use the keypad to assign a name to the location and other information about it. If the point you are saving is off-road, the nearest road information will be used. The location is saved to your Address Book and you are returned to the Locate screen. While driving along a route, if you need to find a gas station, ATM, or other POI, the Magellan RoadMate can find the nearest POI and route to it. Then, when you have completed the side route, resume guidance to your original destination. Use the Navigation key to scroll the list up or down (if necessary) and select the desired POI. The Magellan RoadMate will calculate a new route to the selected POI from your current position. When you have arrived at the new destination, you will be prompted to resume guidance to your original destination. The Magellan RoadMate will calculate the route to your original destination using the Route Method previously selected. While driving along a route, if you encounter traffic, road construction, or other situation you might need to navigate around, the Magellan RoadMate can calculate an alternate route to your destination. [. . . ] Select User Storage to display the available space and total space of the hard disk and, if inserted, the storage card. Note: Although 5 GB of storage on the unit hard disk is available, the actual storage may vary and can be slightly less. Diagnostics enables you to test key performance elements of the Magellan RoadMate The Touchscreen test will enable you to recalibrate the touchscreen should it not be tracking properly. The Help feature provides you with an interactive tutorial on the features and functions of the Magellan RoadMate along with contact information should you need assistance. [. . . ]
