Points of Interest (POI)

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

restaurant or finding a petrol station nearby is as simple as tapping the screen.

Categories and Subcategories

POIs are categorised into unique categories from petrol stations to wineries. Most, but not all

categories are further organised into subcategories. Restaurants have, for example, 16 subcategories

that provide a way to search for restaurants serving Chinese food, fast food, or even Swiss food.

Creating a Route to a POI by Category

1. From the Main Menu, tap the Points of Interest icon.

2. Select Search by Category.

3. Use the scroll bars to view the categories

and tap on the desired category name.

4. If a subcategory is displayed, use the scroll

bars to view the subcategories and tap on

the desired sub category name. Select ALL

SUBCATEGORIES if you are unsure what

subcategory best suits your needs.

5. Select the search criteria: Near Current

Position, Near Which Town? (requires

entering a town name) or Near Address

(requires entering an address).

6. The top portion of the display shows

detailed information about the highlighted

POI in the list. The arrow and distance

indicates the direction and distance in a

straight line from your current position to

the POI.

Use the Prev and Next buttons to step up

and down the list of POIs that were found.

Tap on the POI name to continue.

7. Select the route method and tap on the
