Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my street not showing up on the map?
The Magellan RoadMate uses the most current available map data. Chances are, your street is in a new housing development
or the street is new. Map updates are made available about twice per year.
I know there is a gas station on this street corner, why is there not icon for it on the map?
Check your POI settings and make sure you have the necessary POI checked to make it visible on the map. see “POI
Selection” on page 55.
The Magellan RoadMate uses the latest POI data available. Chances are the POI you are looking for is relatively new and has
not been added to the database. If this is not the case, it may have been overlooked or changed since the POI database was
created. You can add custom POIs to your Magellan RoadMate to make up for those you route to often. see “Chapter 13:
Magellan RoadMate POI Manager” on page 77, and “Custom POIs” on page 55.
The GPS signal is weak. What’s going on?
You may be driving through an area that has tall buildings or trees, or a canyon, or a tunnel. These conditions may interfere
with satellite signals. Wait a few moments and the signal should get better as more satellites are acquired. Or, you may need
to reposition you antenna. Rotate the antenna upward slightly and wait a moment. If the signal does not improve, continue
to rotate the antenna. If the problem persists, there may be a problem with the antenna. Contact Technical Support.
Why is an address I know I routed to not in the Previous Destinations list?
THe Previous Destinations list stores the last 50 places you routed to. When you get to number 51, the first destination on
the list is removed and each successive destination is moved up.
