[. . . ] Magellan® RoadMate® 1470 GPS Receiver User Manual 471 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA 95050 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS The Magellan RoadMate receiver is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected destinations. When using the Magellan RoadMate receiver, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others: · Please check the applicable regulations in your state regarding windshield mounting. The driver should enter data or program the Magellan RoadMate receiver only when the vehicle is stationary. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the Magellan RoadMate receiver while the vehicle is moving. [. . . ] 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. Smart City Search The Magellan RoadMate receiver utilizes a feature known as "Smart City Search". This prediction is based upon two factors; your position and cities you've gone to before. 10 In this example I am in Los Angeles and enter "PA". The receiver looks for cities I've already gone to as well as cities near my location that begin with "PA" and, in this case comes up with "PASADENA, CA". In this example "PA" has been entered again but this time the receiver is in Atlanta, GA. The city displayed now is Palmetto, GA, so location has changed the predicted city to one closer to your location. QuickSpell Another feature the Magellan RoadMate receiver uses to make entering cities and streets easier is a feature known as QuickSpell. In the example to the right, "CE" has been entered for a street name in Chicago, IL. The Magellan RoadMate receiver has predicted that the street name may be Cedar Ave. Also, it has greyed out any letters that could not be used to spell a street name in the database. This provides quick and error-free city and street name entry. 11 Map Screen The most commonly used screen is the Map screen.
