Using the Trip Computer
Sometimes you need to be able to record mileage and time spent on the road for
business trips. Other times you just may want to keep track of your mileage for your
vacation trips. The Magellan RoadMate has just the tool for you, the Trip Computer.
The Trip Computer lets you to record and store the average speed of your trip, the
total time of your trip, how much of the time you were driving and the total distance
of the trip.
The Trip Computer also allows you to store these details so you can reference them at
any time.
To access the Trip Computer, press the Option
button. Select “Trip Computer” and press Enter.
At the top of the list is the current trip. Also
displayed would be any trips that you had saved
previously. To view one of the saved trips, select
the name and press Enter. To work with the
information for the current trip, select “Current”
and press Enter.
The Trip Computer has three options; Stop/Start,
Reset and Save.
Start/Stop: Switches the Trip Computer between
Running and Paused. While the Trip Computer
is paused, no information from your trip is added
to the trip details.
Reset: Sets all of the trip details to zero. (If you need to record the details for your
trip, you should do this at the same time you set your destination. Also,
remember to save the current details before resetting if you might need them at a
future time.)
Save: Stores the current Trip Computer details into the Magellan RoadMate using
a name that you will enter.
