Fundamentals

Powering on the Magellan RoadMate application

Select the Magellan RoadMate application from the iPhone/iPod touch main screen. After the

application initializes the Map screen is displayed. The application begins looking for GPS signals from

your iPhone or iPod touch (if used with the Magellan Premium Car Kit and the cradle is being powered

on). Once the application has enough GPS information, it will display the map with your current position

indicated by the blue-triangle cursor.

Tips for getting GPS signals. If you are not getting a position fix in a few minutes you may try these few tips to

help acquire the GPS signals.

• Move outside and away from buildings that could be blocking the GPS signal.

• Trees, especially after a rainy day, can decrease GPS signal strength causing the time to first fix to increase.

Move out from under any trees and give the device a clear view of the sky.

• If you are using an iPod touch with the Magellan Premium Car Kit, try reseating the iPod in the cradle and

checking the power connection. (Note that some vehicle power receptacles are powered only when the

vehicle ignition is on.)

The Map Screen

The Map screen allows you to view your current position (indicated by the blue triangle) and

the surrounding area. You can change how much of the map is shown by using the zoom in

and zoom out controls.

The Map screen also displays an information field in the lower left corner. When you are not

routing, the information field displays the current time of day. However, when you have an

active route you can set the information field to display distance to destination, time

remaining until you arrive at your destination, time of day that you will arrive at your

destination, current elevation, current time of day, current speed, and direction of travel.

You can access the Main menu or the OneTouch menu by the buttons located at the bottom

of the screen.

Detailed information about the Map screen can be found in the following chapter of this user manual.
