Basic Operations

Adjusting the Volume

Using QuickSpell

What Is QuickSpell? The Magellan RoadMate uses QuickSpell technology to provide you with the fastest possible method of entering characters. QuickSpell eliminates the possibility of a misspelled word or looking for a town or street that is not in the map database. As you begin entering characters, the QuickSpell feature of the Magellan RoadMate greys out those characters which are not available, thereby speeding up the data entry process. Example: Suppose that you need to input the name of a town, in this case, PARIS. Select "P" using the 8-way arrow keypad and press Enter.
Select "A" using the 8-way arrow keypad and press Enter.
Select "R" using the 8-way arrow keypad and press Enter.
