Selecting a Point of Interest as a Destination
Points of Interest (commonly referred to as POIs), are locations of commercial, recreation landmarks or
services that are preloaded into the Magellan RoadMate. These range from restaurants, parks, petrol
stations and banks to schools and police stations. The purpose of the POI database (accessed through the
"Points of Interests" menu option) is to provide you with a list of popular destinations that you might be
interested in visiting, without having to add them to your address book manually. These POIs are very
useful when you are travelling through an unfamiliar area. You can search for a POI by name or by
category.
N o t e p a d
Your Magellan RoadMate uses one Points of Interests database for each European country. The first
step in searching for a new POI is to check that the correct country is selected.
Selecting a Point of Interest as a Destination - Search by Name
Check in the title bar of the Destination screen that the correct
country is selected. Select "Points of Interests" and press Enter.
Select "Spell Name" and press Enter.
Use the keypad to enter the name of the point of interest (you do
not need to enter the entire name). Select OK and press Enter.
