The keyboard is used to enter the name of the street. Just as when you entered
the city name, you do not need to enter the entire street name. The more letters
of the name you enter, the smaller the list of names to select from.
For this example, we are looking for Denise
Way. Using the keyboard, enter “DEN” and
select “OK” to display the list of street names.
Now all we need to do is to find ‘Denise Way’
in the list, select it and press Enter.
The last step in entering the street address is
to input the street number. You will notice at
the top of the screen, the range of addresses
that can be input for the street and city you
have selected. Only numbers within this
range will be accepted. When you have the
number entered, select “Done” and press
Enter.
Now that the Magellan RoadMate knows
where you want to go, all you need to do is
tell it which of the four methods you want it
to use to compute your route: “Shortest
Time”, “Shortest Distance”, “Least Use Of
Freeways” or “Most Use Of Freeways”.
After selecting the route method, a screen will show you that the Magellan
RoadMate is computing the route. When the route is defined, the Guidance
screen appears and you are ready to go.
Some streets have a prefix like North or South, East or West. When this is
the case, they will appear in the list of possible street names and you need to
be certain that you select the correct one.
