Magellan RoadMate Receiver
®
®
The Magellan RoadMate receiver is a vehicle navigation product that utilizes GPS signals from satellites to
calculate your precise location and compute navigational information that can be used to guide you to your
destination. Knowing its position and movement, it can then overlay this information on detailed maps to provide
a visual representation of your location.
With the Magellan RoadMate receiver you can:
™
•
Save searches and addresses under the OneTouch menu for fast, convenient access to favorite
destinations.
•
•
Store your home address and quickly get routing details to your home.
Enter and save addresses in your address book that can be accessed at any time and get routing information
to that address.
™
•
Route to an address that you enter using the QuickSpell and Smart City search for easy, errorless address
entry.
•
•
Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your Magellan RoadMate receiver.
Create a route with multiple destinations. Handy for business people who need routing information to many
destinations.
®
•
Access the AAA TourBook providing ratings and descriptions on AAA-approved places to stay, play, dine,
and save.
™
•
•
Access AAA Member Roadside Assistance information from the OneTouch menu.
View POIs that are near exits ahead of you on the highway. The Highway Exit POIs function provides you
with a list of gas stations, restaurants, hotels and auto repair shops located nearby exits you are approaching
while travelling on the interstate.
•
•
Customize your Magellan RoadMate receiver to meet your needs using the Settings menu.
Receive traffic information so as to avoid delays in your travel.
The user interface for the Magellan RoadMate receiver is easy and simple to follow once you understand the
basics. You may never need to refer to this manual, but if you do, we have tried to present it in a form that makes
it easy for you to access the function you are trying to use and follow the steps provided.
The Magellan RoadMate receiver has a built-in battery so, in most cases, you will be able to follow these
instructions while reading them on your computer screen without plugging the Magellan RoadMate receiver to
the AC power using an optional AC power adapter. Note that a fully charged Magellan RoadMate 1475T only has
about 2 hours of battery life. You should note that while indoors you may not get strong enough satellite signals
to compute your location, so your location information may not be updated. However, the power of the GPS
chipset installed in the Magellan RoadMate receiver will pick up satellite signals in some very demanding
locations. You may find that the Magellan RoadMate receiver is computing a position, even indoors. Even with
the improved GPS chipset, the receiver may not be able to always compute a fix indoors. This is especially
important to note if you are in a garage or other overhanging structure. If you find you are not getting strong
enough satellite signals while in a garage or other structure, move to a location where there is a clear view of the
sky and you should immediately see an improvement in signal strength.
The Magellan RoadMate receiver includes Voice Alerts (Text-to-Speech) for driving instructions.
This document is set up to be printed on 8.5" x 11" paper should you desire a printed version for your reference.

Notes on Entering Data
If you are having trouble getting the results you expected, here are a few useful tips.
•
Check for apostrophes and hyphens. If you do not see the POI or street name you are looking for in the
list, check to see if the name has an apostrophe or hyphen.
•
•
The more characters you enter, the smaller the list of possible options is from which to choose.
When entering a street or city name it is not necessary to use accented letters. You can enter city and
streets names using only standard characters.
Smart City Search
The Magellan RoadMate receiver utilizes a feature known as “Smart City Search”. Smart City Search attempts
to predict the city you are looking for. This prediction is based upon two factors; your position and cities you’ve
gone to before.
In this example I am in Los Angeles and enter “PA”. The receiver
looks for cities I’ve already gone to as well as cities near my
location that begin with “PA” and, in this case comes up with
“PASADENA, CA”.
In this example “PA” has been entered again but this time the
receiver is in Atlanta, GA. The city displayed now is Palmetto,
GA, so location has changed the predicted city to one closer to
your location.

QuickSpell
Another feature the Magellan RoadMate receiver uses to make
entering cities and streets easier is a feature known as
QuickSpell. In the example to the right, “CE” has been entered
for a street name in Chicago, IL. The Magellan RoadMate
receiver has predicted that the street name may be Cedar Ave.
Also, it has greyed out any letters that could not be used to spell
a street name in the database. This provides quick and error-
free city and street name entry.

Installation Instructions
Installation of the Magellan RoadMate receiver is simple and easy. The hardest part will be picking the best
location.
Selecting the Location
A few tips on selecting the proper location.
•
•
•
•
Mount the Magellan RoadMate receiver in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere with
your view of the road.
The Magellan RoadMate receiver should be mounted in such a way that the antenna, (located in the top of
the receiver), has an unobstructed view of the sky through the windshield.
Make sure that the Magellan RoadMate receiver or any cabling will not be disturbed if the airbags are
activated.
Be sure to check your local and regional laws before mounting to the windshield. Some states have laws
restricting the mounting of any device on the windshield.
Attach the Power Cable to the Car Cradle
Attach the USB connector to the cradle as shown. The
USB connector will ‘snap’ in place when it is fully seated in
the car cradle.
Securing the Car Cradle
Use the alcohol pad that came with the Magellan
RoadMate receiver to clean the area on the windshield that
has been selected for mounting the Magellan RoadMate
receiver. Let the area dry completely.
Make sure that the lever at the base of the adjustable
mount is in the up position. Place the base of the car cradle
firmly over the area where it will be placed. Push the lever
at the base of the swivel mount all the way down until it
snaps in place. Carefully let go of the assembly, making sure that it is securely mounted.
(The Car Cradle shown here may be different from the Car Cradle supplied with your Magellan RoadMate
receiver, but the installation is the same for all cradle styles.)

Attaching the Magellan RoadMate receiver to the Car Cradle
Slide the Magellan RoadMate receiver on the car cradle so that the slot on the
Magellan RoadMate receiver aligns with the tab on the car cradle. Slide the
Magellan RoadMate receiver all the way down until it rests on the 'feet'. You should
notice a click when the receiver is fully mounted in the cradle.
Adjusting the Mount for Optimum Viewing
Loosen the adjustment locking knob and position the Magellan RoadMate receiver
for optimum viewing. Once set, tighten the locking knobs. (Never attempt to adjust
the mount while driving.)
Connecting Power
Plug the end of the vehicle power adapter into a 12VDC vehicle power receptacle. Be sure to avoid routing the
power cable over airbags.
Note: Some vehicles apply power to the vehicle power receptacle only when the ignition is on.
Checking Connection and Final Adjustments
If the power indicator light on the vehicle power adaptor is on, power is being supplied to the Magellan RoadMate
receiver. If it is not on, check the cable connection to the vehicle power receptacle. If the light is still not on, turn
the vehicle's ignition on.
Power Switch
The Magellan RoadMate uses a spring-loaded slider switch to power the receiver on and off.
Spring Switch
•
Slide to the left to turn the
receiver on or off.
•
Slide to the left to turn the
receiver off.
Security
It is recommended that the Magellan RoadMate receiver is not left in plain view while unattended for reasons of
theft.
Please note that the Magellan RoadMate receiver is a receiver only and does not transmit GPS location signals.
Neither the receiver nor the vehicle can be tracked using the Magellan RoadMate receiver.
