RM 5430, 5465 User Manual
There are approximately 7 million POIs preloaded into the
Magellan RoadMate. Any of these POIs can be selected as a
route's destination using the "Go To..." button.
The Magellan RoadMate can store user-entered addresses
(contacts or places) into the built-in address book. These
addresses can be used in the creation of routes.
Traffic alerts are updated whenever the Magellan RoadMate
is being powered using the Magellan vehicle power adapter
cable. When routing, a traffic alert may provide access to
detouring around the traffic incident.
There are two types of phantomALERTs, basic and premium.
