The Magellan
®
Maestro
®
receiver is a vehicle navigation product that utilizes GPS signals from satellites to
calculate your precise location and compute navigational information that can be used to guide you to your
destination. Knowing its position and movement, it can then overlay this information on detailed maps to provide
a visual representation of your location.

Save searches and addresses under the OneTouch
menu for fast, convenient access to favorite
destinations.
Store your home address and quickly get routing details to your home.
Enter and save addresses in your address book that can be accessed at any time and get routing information
to that address.

and Smart City search for easy, errorless address
entry.
Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your Magellan Maestro receiver.
Create a route with multiple destinations. Handy for business people who need routing information to many
destinations.

You may never need to refer to this manual, but if you do we have tried to present it in a form that makes it easy
for you to access the function you are trying to use and follow the steps provided.
The Magellan Maestro receiver has a built-in battery so, in most cases, you will be able to follow these instructions
while reading them on your computer screen without plugging the Magellan Maestro receiver to the AC power
using an optional AC power adapter. You should note that while indoors you may not get strong enough satellite
signals to compute you location, so your location information may not be updated. However, the power of the GPS
chipset installed in the Magellan Maestro receiver will pick up satellite signals in some very demanding locations.
You may find that the Magellan Maestro receiver is computing a position, even indoors. Even with the improved
GPS chipset, the receiver may not be able to always compute a fix indoors. This is especially important to note if
you are in a garage or other over hanging structure. If you find you are not getting strong enough satellite signals
while in a garage or other structure, move to a location where there is a clear view of the sky and you should
immediately see an improvement in signal strength.
The Magellan Maestro receiver includes Voice Alerts (both prerecorded and Text-to-Speech) for driving
instructions.
The Magellan Maestro receiver has integrated traffic capabilities that can be accessed with the use of the optional
Traffic Link accessory.
