Safety Notice
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
The Magellan RoadMate receiver is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at
your selected destinations. When using the Magellan RoadMate receiver, these safety rules must
be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others:
Please check the applicable regulations in your state regarding windshield mounting. Certain
alternative mounting solutions.
When driving, the need to view the display is minimal. Voice prompts will guide you to your
destination. The driver should enter data or program the Magellan RoadMate receiver only when
the vehicle is stationary. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the Magellan
RoadMate receiver while the vehicle is moving. Do not become distracted by the receiver while
driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions.
It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws and to use the Magellan RoadMate and
mounting options in such a manner that the user is in compliance with applicable laws.
Roads, points of interest (POIs), business and service locations may change over time. As a result
the database may contain inaccuracies.
The database does not include, analyze, process, consider, or reflect any of the following:
population density; neighborhood quality or safety; availability or proximity of police, emergency
rescue, medical or other assistance; construction work zones or hazards; road or lane closures;
pavement characteristics or conditions; special events. Roads, points of interest (POIs), business
and service locations may change over time. As a result the database may contain inaccuracies.
Certain Magellan devices (such as GPS for trucks and RVs) analyze and process certain legal
restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions; road slope
or grade; bridge height, width, weight, or other limits). If your device offers this option, you must
make sure that you correctly configure your vehicle profile. When available on your device, these
legal restrictions are provided for your convenience only and it remains your responsibility to
disregard any unsafe, hazardous or illegal route suggestions.
Keep the Magellan RoadMate receiver safe from extreme temperature conditions. For example,
do not leave it exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time.
Take care when mounting the Magellan RoadMate receiver in your vehicle, whether using
the windshield mount or other mounts, that it does not obstruct the driver’s view of the road,
interfere with the operation of the vehicle’s safety devices such as air bags, or present a hazard to
occupants of the vehicle should the receiver be dislodged while driving. It is your responsibility to
assess the risks associated with damage to your vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result of your
choices in mounting the Magellan RoadMate receiver.
Temperature
The maximum operating temperature is 140°F (60°C).

Syncing Content from SmartGPSEco
As described in the table above, much of the content available on the Magellan SmartRV is
provided through SmartGPSEco. Content may be delivered using Magellan Content Manager, a
Wi-Fi network, or using mobile data over a Bluetooth connection.
How It Works
When you register your device a SmartGPSEco account is created where
your content is stored. SmartGPSEco continuously pulls information from the
Internet that will be used for content.
When your device connects to SmartGPSEco, SmartGPSEco begins
researching your current location and your address book to determine what
content best suits your driving needs.
After the analysis of what content to send, SmartGPSEco begins syncing new
content, as well as verifying that your existent content is up-to-date.
This process keeps your device current with the content most needed by you
without spending time sending more information than is needed.
How to Connect
Three channels are available for content delivery and update; Wi-Fi, Magellan
Content Manager and Bluetooth. You can use whichever is available to you.
• Wi-Fi Connection: The Magellan SmartRV can automatically
connect to any Wi-Fi network that you have established a connection
with in Wi-Fi Settings. Once the network has been defined, the Magellan
SmartRV will try to connect to the network whenever it is in range. Once
connected, it will communicate with SmartGPSEco and start obtaining
new content. Additionally, when you turn off the Magellan SmartRV and

My Places
My Places
My Places can be best described as the place where all of the saved destinations and routes are
stored. There are four separate sections to My Places, each one with its own distinct purpose.
Address
Book
The Address Book stores contacts, places and trips that you have
saved. These can be used as destinations in a route or accessed
using Bluetooth to place a call.
Wish List
Recent
The Wish List are those places you found interesting and thought
that you might want to go to at some point.
Anytime you create a route, the destination is saved into your
Recent places list. This makes it easy to create a route to some
place you routed to before.
* The route is saved to Recent when you create it, regardless of
whether you actually drove there or not.
** The Recent list will hold hundreds of previous routes.
OneTouch
OneTouch is a customizable menu to hold destinations that you
regularly use.
Address Book
The Address Book can hold places, contacts and trips. These are all user-entered and can easily be
accessed at any time to create a route.
Places
Contacts
Trips
Each place has a name and stores only one address.
Once stored, the name can be edited but the address can’t.
Places is designed to hold locations that you commonly go to or
need to reference while driving. This could be anything from your
local Starbucks to a historical landmark. Think of places as your
own personalized POIs (points of interest).
Each contact has a name and can store multiple places and
numbers. Contacts can be people, businesses, or any other thing
that needs to have more than one piece of information attached,
Each contact can have one or more addresses and can also have
one or more phone numbers. These might be home address,
home number, work address, work number, etc.
Trips contain one or several places as a route.
You can create a trip (route) in advance or save a route while it is
active. When you save a route, it includes the end point and any
intermediate points.
Places, Contacts, and Trips can also be synchronized with SmartGPSEco.
