Chapter 9: Integrated Magellan Traffic
75
Check one or more of the following options:
• Live Alert: When checked, the Magellan RoadMate will inform you of a traffic event located along your route as
soon as it is detected.
• Reminder at 40 mi: If you check this option, the Magellan RoadMate will remind you of the traffic event it has
received earlier. The message will appear when this event, located somewhere along your route, is 40 miles away
from your current location (not a point-to-point distance but measured along the route).
• Reminder at 20 mi: Same as above but the distance from the event is only 20 miles
• Reminder at 10 mi: Same as above but the distance from the event is only10 miles

9.2.6 Traveling with the Alert Mode On
When you use the TrafficKit in the Alert Mode, the following will occur when new TMC events are received:
• If an event affects your route, a warning message will appear on the screen at a time or distance defined in the
Alert Options menu (step 5, page 74).
• If you do not acknowledge the message by pressing the ENTER button, it will automatically disappear after 10
seconds. Additional warning messages, if any, will appear in turn on the screen.
• Events that affect your route will also appear as road signs in the maneuver list, and also in the lower part of the
True View screen. See examples below:
• The map screen will show road signs corresponding to the TMC events, including those which do not affect the
route. You can obtain detailed information on any event by selecting the icon on the map screen. A dialog box
will open containing a description of the event.
