Selecting a Destination

Selecting a Destination Using Street Address
When the address that you want to go to is not stored in your address book or your Previous Destinations list, select your destination by entering the street address. Your Magellan RoadMate uses one address database for each European country. The first step in searching for a new address is to check that the correct country is selected. Once the correct country is selected four search options are available: use "Search by Town" to enter the name of the town that the address can be found in. use "Search by Postcode when you do not know, or are unsure of, the town name but you do know the postcode for the address. You will be given a list of all towns matching the postcode you entered. use "Search by Area" when you do not know, or are unsure of, the town name but you do know which area it is in. You will be given a listing of all the towns for the area you entered which have the street name you are looking for. Please note that the type of area depends of the country currently selected (County in England, Dpartement in France, Kreis in Germany, etc.). use "Previous Towns" to select the town that the address can be found in from a list of towns you previously searched.
