Connecting Your Magellan RoadMate
The standard cradle is equipped with ports for connecting the Magellan RoadMate to a personal computer and external
power.
When connecting to a personal computer, leave the Magellan RoadMate attached to the cradle, disconnect the vehicle power
cable and remove the assembly (Magellan RoadMate and cradle) from the vehicle.
Connect the small end of the USB cable to the USB port on the cradle and the large end to an available USB port on your
personal computer. See “Cradle Side View” on page 6.
Connect the small end of the External Power cable to the power port on the cradle and plug the other end of the cable into a
standard, 110 VAC wall outlet. See “Cradle Side View” on page 6.
Depending on the location and surrounding obstructions, the Magellan RoadMate may or may not be able to receive GPS
satellite information.
Application
The POI Manager has a single interface for loading, adding, and deleting custom POIs from your Magellan RoadMate.
Adding A Single POI
Click on the Add New POI button. A dialog box will appear. Enter the Name, the Latitude, the Longitude, the Altitude
(optional), and Description (optional). To find the latitude, longitude, and altitude of a POI, press the Locate button on the
Magellan RoadMate while you are at the location. See “Displaying Information About Your Present Location” on page 27.
Next, select an icon for the POI by clicking on the drop-down menu.
Finally, create a category for your POI. For example, “Friends’ Houses”, or “Coffee Shops”. Click on OK.
The POI you created is now in the Import, Create, and Modify window. You can continue adding POIs to the new category by
repeating the previous instructions. Each POI file can contain up to 10 categories with 1,000 POIs for a total of 10,000
total POIs.
