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
receiver uses to make entering cities and
streets easier is a feature known as QuickSpell.
As letters are entered for a city or street the
QuickSpell feature checks the database for
cities or streets that begin with the letters
entered. Any letters that could not be used to
spell a city or street name are greyed out. This
provides quick and error-free city and street
name entry.
Smart City Search
The Magellan RoadMate receiver utilizes a
feature known as "Smart City Search". Smart
City Search attempts to predict the city you
are looking for. This prediction is based upon
two factors; your position and cities you've
gone to before.
