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. 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. 9 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. 10 Map Screen The most commonly used screen is the Map screen.
