Magellan 500 GPS Receiver User Manual


 
The Magellan RoadMate will attempt to get you back on the route three
times. If after the third time, you haven’t gotten on the route, it assumes
that you no longer plan to go to your original destination and will clear the
route.

How Do I Get Back on the Route after a Detour?
If you exit the planned route, the Magellan RoadMate will get you back on course
in one of two ways.
1. If you exited the planned route and turned off the Magellan RoadMate:
Suppose you left the planned route to stop at the store for a moment or to drop
something off at a friend’s house. In this case you would normally come to a
complete stop and turn off your vehicle which also turns the Magellan RoadMate
off. After you have completed your errand and turned your vehicle back on (which
turns the Magellan RoadMate back on), you would be presented with a screen
asking if you wanted to resume your route.
Selecting “Resume” causes the Magellan RoadMate to recalculate the route
using the same destination as before.
Selecting “Cancel” clears the route and displays the Select Destination
screen.
2. If you exited the planned route and kept driving: Suppose you left the
planned route due to a traffic jam or you just wanted to do a little sight-seeing. The
Magellan RoadMate will automatically guide you back to your route. After
recalculating, the Magellan RoadMate will provide you with directions to route you
back to your original destination.
How Do I Cancel a Route?
Anytime you are traveling on a route and viewing the Guidance screen, the
Maneuver List or the TrueView 3D display, you can cancel the route by pressing the
cancel button. You will be given the option of confirming the route cancellation
(press the “Yes” button) or continuing on the present route (press the “No” button).
