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 application 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 application offers the route with the default selected
routing method first.

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.
