Gps Maps And Your Safety; Care And Use Of The Pre-Installed Secure Digital (Sd) Card - Magellan RoadMate 360 Reference Manual

Information
time of publication. Thales Navigation licenses* topographical maps, roadmaps, marine charts and points of interest
data from commercial and governmental cartographic sources that provide raw map data. Thales Navigation
processes and compresses the raw data into a format that makes it presentable and manageable to work on our GPS
devices. And to ensure that our map data is as robust as possible, data from multiple sources are often combined to
provide a better user experience for our customers. This processing does not alter the landforms, coordinates or
other spatial data that comes in the raw data. The accuracy of the maps is fundamentally dependent on the source
data used to create them. Map data changes frequently due to both natural and man-made causes. As a result,
governmental and commercial cartography companies must continuously review correct and improve upon their map
data. We release new versions of our maps on a regular basis to reflect these changes.
After processing the data, we test the compatibility of the map with our GPS devices to ensure that the products we
release work properly on our GPS devices. We also beta test our products to get customer feedback prior to release.

GPS Maps and Your Safety

Remember, your GPS device is an aid to navigation. It must be used with common sense and it is important that
users interpret GPS map data with a critical eye. Landscapes and roads change or may be impassable, trees and tall
buildings can obscure GPS signals and your GPS device may not always reflect the complete picture. When using
GPS, you must combine the information provided by your GPS map with your relevant local knowledge, road
signage, buoys, depth soundings and changing local conditions to generate a complete understanding of your
situation.
It is your responsibility to ensure compliance to all traffic laws, including pedestrian observance of crosswalks, and
to use good judgment while operating the Magellan GPS receiver. Safety must be your primary concern. The
Magellan GPS receiver must not be used while engaged in any activity requiring the user's full attention to the
environment. For instance, the Magellan GPS receiver should be operated only by vehicle passengers or by the driver
when the vehicle has come to a complete stop. The driver must not attempt to view the display while driving. A
climber must not attempt to view the display while negotiating treacherous terrain. Disregard any unsafe, hazardous
or illegal route suggestions.
Magellan maps do not include, analyze, process, consider or reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as
weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions); road slope or grade; bridge height, width, weight or other limits;
population density; neighborhood quality or safety; availability or proximity of law enforcement, emergency rescue,
medical or other assistance; construction work zones or hazards; road, sidewalk or waterway closures or conditions;
weather conditions; pavement characteristics or conditions; special events; traffic congestion; time of day.
*Thales Navigation licenses map data from governmental sources such as, but not limited to, US Geological Survey
(USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA-NOS) and the Canadian Hydrographic
Service (CHS). Thales Navigation licenses map data from commercial cartography companies such as Navigation
Technologies, Navionics, DMTI and C-Map.

Care and Use of the Pre-Installed Secure Digital (SD) Card

The Magellan RoadMate 360 comes with an SD card that is pre-installed in the unit. The SD card is a small,
lightweight flash memory device that allows increased data storage for your Magellan RoadMate. The compact size is
ideal for storing large amounts of data and not taking a lot of physical space. This card contains map data that
covers the entire United States and Canada and should never need to be removed. However, in the event that the SD
Card should be removed from the unit, reinstalling it is simple and fast.
The SD card slot on your Magellan RoadMate employs what is called a "push-push" method of locking and
releasing. In other words, when you insert the card you must push it to lock it in, and to release it you must push it
also. It is important to remember to never remove or insert the SD card when the unit is on. Always make sure to
turn the power off when removing or inserting the SD card. Failure to do so may cause the unit or the data on the SD
card to become corrupt or unusable.
