Keypad

Understanding the keypad while entering an address is an important part of using your
Magellan RoadMate application. The keypad is the most common method for entering data
into the Magellan RoadMate application. While in portrait (shown here) the layout is in the
ABC format. If you rotate the device to landscape, the familiar QWERTY keyboard layout is
used.

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.

QuickSpell

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