Traveling on a Route
Map Screen
When a route has been calculated, it will be displayed on the Map screen in green with small arrows
indicating the direction of travel. The top of the screen displays the name of the street that comes next
in your Turn List together with its distance. If you are not in the city in which the next street is, the
name of the city is displayed instead.
As the route progresses, voice alerts will be used to prompt you of upcoming maneuvers.
Maneuver List
The Maneuver List displays all of the maneuvers needed to be made to complete the route and arrive
at the destination. To view the Maneuver List, tap on the maneuver icon in the top left corner of the
Map screen. (The Maneuver List is described in detail in the Map chapter of this manual.)
Types of Routes
There are a wide variety of methods you can use to create a route. Each method is discussed in the
chapter which is associated with it.
Routing Method
Regardless of which route type has been created, the Magellan RoadMate needs to know how the
route is to be calculated. Routes can be calculated by the following methods:
• Fastest Time (Fast): the fastest possible route provided the vehicle is able to travel at or near
the speed limit.
• Shortest Distance (Short): the shortest possible route.
• Most Use of Freeway.
• Least Use of Freeway.
When a destination is selected, the Magellan RoadMate offers the route with the default selected
routing method first.
1. To change the routing method, tap Options when the ‘Go’ screen is displayed. The
Magellan RoadMate calculates the route with different methods.
2. Tap on the
icon to view the maneuver list for the route method desired.
3. Tap the desired routing method in the list, and the previous screen returns with the new
calculation.
To permanently change the routing method
1. From the Main Menu, tap the Settings icon.
2. Tap Navigation Preferences.
3. Use the Route Method drop-down menu to select the default routing method desired.
