Magellan RoadMate 1230

The Magellan RoadMate 1230 is a vehicle navigation product that utilizes GPS signals from satellites to calculate your precise location and compute details about its travel. Knowing its position and movement, it can then overlay this information on detailed maps provided by NAVTEQ ^® to provide a visual representation of your location.

With the Magellan RoadMate 1230 you can:

• Store your home address and quickly get routing details to your home.
• Create and save addresses in your address book that can be accessed at any time and get routing information to that address.
• Route to an address that you enter using the keypad and Magellan's QuickSpell feature for easy, errorless address entry.
• Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your Magellan RoadMate.
• Route to a POI that appears on the map while traveling simply by tapping on the POI icon.
• Route to an intersection by selecting the intersecting streets.
• Create a trip with multiple destinations using the trip planner. Handy for business people who need routing information to many destinations.
• View POIs that are ahead of you on the freeway. The exit POI function provides you with a list of gas stations, restaurants, hotels and auto repair shops located nearby exits you are approaching while traveling on a freeway.
• Customize your Magellan RoadMate to meet your needs using the User Options menu.

The interface for the Magellan RoadMate is easy and simple to follow once you understand the basics. You may never need to refer to this manual but if you do we have tried to present it in a form that you can access the function you are trying to complete and follow the steps provided.

The Magellan RoadMate has a built-in battery so in most cases you will be able to follow these instructions while reading them on your computer screen without plugging the Magellan RoadMate to AC power. You should note that while indoors you may not get any satellite signals so your location information would not be updated. However, the Centrality™ chipset installed in the Magellan RoadMate will get satellite signals in some very rough locations so you may notice the Magellan RoadMate computing a position, even indoors.

This document is set up to be printed on 8.5" x 11" (letter) paper should you desire a printed version for your reference.

Installation Instructions

Installation of the Magellan RoadMate is simple and easy. The hardest part will be picking the best location.

Selecting the Location

A few tips on selecting the proper location.

• Mount the Magellan RoadMate in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere with your view of the road.
• The Magellan RoadMate should be mounted in such a way that the antenna, (located in the top of the receiver), has an unobstructed view of the sky through the windshield.
• Select whether it will be mounted using the adjustable mount to the windshield or an adhesive disk. Be sure to check your local and regional laws before mounting to the windshield. Some states, like California and Minnesota, have laws restricting the mounting of any device on the windshield. (Adhesive Disks are available from the Magellan Store at www.magellanGPS.com if one was not supplied with the Magellan RoadMate.)
• If planning to use the adhesive disk, a smooth surface on the dash board will need to be selected. Do not attach the adhesive disk to the windshield nor airbag covers.
• Make sure that the Magellan RoadMate nor any cabling will be disturbed in the event that the airbags are deployed.

Cleaning the Area

Use the alcohol pad that came with the Magellan RoadMate to clean the area on the windshield or dash that has been selected for mounting the Magellan RoadMate. Let the area dry completely.

Applying the Adhesive Disk

(Skip if mounting directly to the windshield.) Remove the protective tape from the back of the adhesive disk. Apply the disk with the adhesive side towards the dash. Maintain pressure on the disk for 5 minutes to allow it to set in place. Allow the disk 24 hours to cure before continuing.

Please note that the swivel mount supplied with the Magellan RoadMate may be different then the one shown in this document.

Attach the Cradle to the Swivel Mount

Line up the two tabs on the swivel mount with the holes on the back of the cradle. Push the cradle down until it locks in place with the swivel mount.

Secure the Swivel Mount to the Windshield or Adhesive Disk

Make sure that the lever at the base of the adjustable mount is in the up position. Place the base of the swivel mount firmly over the area of the windshield to be used or the adhesive disk. Push the lever at the base of the swivel mount all the way down until it snaps in place. Carefully let go of the assembly, making sure that it is securely mounted.

Adjust the Mount for Optimum Viewing

Loosen the adjustment locking knobs and position the Magellan RoadMate for optimum viewing. Once set, tighten the locking knobs. (Never attempt to adjust the mount while driving.)

Connecting Power

Plug the end of the cigarette lighter adapter into a 12 VDC vehicle power receptacle. Connect the other end of the cable to the Magellan RoadMate's USB connector as shown. If there is power at the receptacle, the Magellan RoadMate will power on. (Note: some vehicles apply power to the vehicle power receptacle only when the ignition is on.)

Connect the FM Traffic Antenna connector (from the vehicle power adapter cable) into the FM antenna recepticle located above the power connector.

Check Connection and Final Adjustments

If the power indicator light on the vehicle power cable connector is on, power is being supplied to the Magellan RoadMate. If it is not on, check the cable connection to the vehicle power receptacle. If the light is still not on, turn the vehicle's ignition on.

Press the power button (located at the bottom right side of the RoadMate) and hold down for a few seconds. The Magellan RoadMate will power on. Sit in a normal driving position and make any final adjustments to the swivel mount for optimum viewing. Tighten the adjusting knobs on the swivel mount to hold the Magellan RoadMate firmly in place.

Press the power button again to turn the Magellan RoadMate off and turn the ignition switch to the vehicle to off. The Magellan RoadMate is connected and ready for use.

Security

It is recommended that the Magellan RoadMate is not left in plain view while unattended for reasons of theft.

Please note that the Magellan RoadMate is a receiver only and does not transmit GPS location signals. The receiver nor the vehicle can be tracked using the Magellan RoadMate.

The Keypad

Understanding the keypad while entering an address is an important part of using your Magellan RoadMate. The keypad is the most common means of entering data into the Magellan RoadMate.

Keypad Overview

Special Keys

Selecting From List

After tapping "OK" to accept your input you may get a list of items found in the database. The sample here shows the result of tapping "OK" after entering "LOS A". Use the scroll bar to move up and down the list and tap on the desired item in the list to continue.

Notes on Entering Data

If you are having trouble getting the results you expected here are a few useful tips.

- Make sure that you have spelled the name correctly. If you are unsure of the spelling, just enter a few characters and tap "OK". A long list of names will be displayed but you can step through the list and probably be able to find the correct spelling.

- Check for apostrophes and hyphens. If you are not seeing the POI you are looking for in the POI list, check to see if the name has an apostrophe or hyphen.

- When entering a street name you can use the street prefix (N. E. W. S. etc.) to narrow the search. For example to find N. Main St. you could enter "N. Main" or "N Main".

- The more characters you enter, the smaller the list of possible options from which to choose.

Map Screen

The most commonly used screen will be the Map screen. Whether on a route or just travelling around town, chances are the Map screen will be displayed. There are two unique modes that the Map screen can be displayed in; normal and routing.

Glossary

RDS: Radio Data System. Infrastructure that broadcasts digital information on the FM band. The TrafficKit module can only receive and decode the free-access service.

TMC: Traffic Message Channel, one of the types of information that a Radio Data System can broadcast.

TrafficKit: TrafficKit is the Magellan brand name for the RDS-Traffic module which receives the Traffic messages.

Traffic Message: A message received by the TrafficKit module that contains the description of a Traffic event.

Traffic Event: An event liable to disturb the flow of traffic. The list of possible Traffic events that can be received are provided below, along with the corresponding road sign:

Sign Meaning Sign Meaning
	Danger Road Closed
	Slow or Stationary Traffic
	Lane Reduction
	Road Work
	Accident

	Severe Weather
	Special Equipment Required
	Vehicle Related Restriction

Alert Mode: Traffic events are received for informational purposes.

Re-routing Mode: This mode will reroute the vehicle if a Traffic event impacts the route, and a faster alternative route is available.

Understanding How The TrafficKit Works

Please read the following statements before using the TrafficKit.

1. You can enable and disable Traffic event categories. By default, all categories are enabled.
2. Selected Traffic events will either alert and/or re-route you depending on the operating mode.
3. All selected event categories will be displayed on the map screen in the form of traffic event icons.
4. If you are not routing to a destination, the RDS function will only display Traffic events on the map screen.

RDS-Traffic Operating Modes

Traffic events that impact your route can be processed in one of the following two modes:

Re-routing Mode. (Default) Traffic events affecting your route will trigger the receiver to automatically calculate a new route, if a faster alternative route is available.

Alert Mode. Traffic events affecting your route will be reported to you in the form of warning messages.

Selecting Categories of Traffic Events

You may choose the Traffic event categories you would like to be informed of as they occur:

1. Access the Main Menu and select User Options.
2. Scroll down the list and select Traffic Options.
3. Select Incident Options.
4. In the displayed list, check all categories of Traffic events (incidents) you want processed, and deselect events that are of no interest. For best routing Magellan recommends leaving all of the boxes checked.
5. The existing categories of Traffic events are listed at the beginning of this manual in the Glossary.
6. Checking an option in this list implies that:
7. The Map screen will show ALL the received events pertaining to this category at their respective locations.
8. Select the Save button to confirm all your choices.

Re-routing Mode

Setting the Re-routing Mode

1. Access the Main Menu and select User Options.
2. Scroll down the list and select Traffic Options
3. Select Traffic Selection.
4. Unless already done, check the Traffic Active option.
5. Check the Use alternative route option. Note that this causes the button just underneath to be renamed "Reroute option".

1. Select the Reroute Option button on the screen. A new screen appears on which you can set the distance from the event that will trigger the alternative route.

Check one of the following options:

Live Alert: With this option checked, the receiver will search for a faster alternative route whenever a Traffic event arises on your current route. This will happen at the time the event is received, regardless of your distance to the event.

Dist. to event < 40 mi: With this option checked, the receiver will re-route you only if the distance to this Traffic event, is less than 40 miles from your current location (not a point-to-point distance but that measured along the route).

Dist. to event < 20 miles: Same as above for a distance of 20 miles.

Dist. to event < 10 miles: Same as above for a distance of 10 miles.

1. Select Save to confirm your choice and then Save again to return to your guidance screen.

Traveling with the Re-routing Mode On

The following will occur whenever a Traffic event that affects your route is received:

• The receiver will analyze the impact this event will have on your route.
- A "Re-calculating the route" message will pop up on the screen along with the reason for the re-calculation.
- Once the alternate route has been computed, it will compare the alternative route with the original route, and will decide which is the best route to follow, taking time and distance into consideration.
- If the original route is still the best one to follow, the route will be unchanged, and the time portion of the status bar will be updated to reflect the delay. The traffic icon will appear in the lower right corner of the map display. Tapping this icon brings up a list of the traffic events on the route.
- If the alternative route is the best route to follow, the receiver will start guiding you along this route.
- The map screen will also show road signs corresponding to Traffic events, including those not affecting the route.
- Events that affect your route will also appear as road signs in the maneuver list.

Alert Only Mode

This mode will not provide you with new routing information, it will only alert you to the event.

1. Access the Main Menu and select User Options.

2. Scroll down the list and select Traffic Options

3. Select Traffic Selection.
4. Check the Traffic Active option and make sure the Use alternative route option is deselected.
5. Select the Alert Options button on the screen. A new screen appears on which you can set the options relevant to the Alert mode.

Check one or more of the following options:

Live Alert: When checked, the receiver will inform you of a traffic event located along your route as soon as it is detected.

Reminder at 40 mi: If you check this option, the receiver will remind you of the traffic event it has received earlier. The message will appear

when this event, located somewhere along your route, is 40 miles away from your current location (not a point-to-point distance but measured along the route).

Reminder at 20 mi: Same as above but the distance from the event is only 20 miles

Reminder at 10 mi: Same as above but the distance from the event is only 10 miles

1. Select Save to validate your choices and then come back to your usual guidance screen.

Traveling with the Alert Mode On

When you use the TrafficKit in the Alert Mode, the following will occur when new Traffic events are received:

• If an event affects your route, a warning message will appear on the screen at a time or distance defined in the Alert Options menu.
• If you do not acknowledge the message by pressing the ENTER button, it will automatically disappear after 10 seconds. Additional warning messages, if any, will appear in turn on the screen.
• Events that affect your route will also appear as road signs in the maneuver list, and also in the lower part of the TrueView screen.
• The map screen will show road signs corresponding to the Traffic events, including those which do not affect the route. You can obtain detailed information on any event by selecting the icon on the map screen. A dialog box will open containing a description of the event.

Traffic Alert Icon

If a traffic incident occurs on your route, the traffic alert icon will be displayed in the lower right corner of the map screen.

Viewing Traffic Details

• While viewing the Map screen and traveling on a route, tap on the Traffic Alert icon when it is displayed. A Traffic Event List is displayed with all known traffic incidents listed in order of distance from your present position on your route.
• Tap on one of the events listed to receive additional details about the traffic event.

FAQs

Q1- How does the TrafficKit module choose the frequency on which to receive Traffic data?

A1: This is an automated procedure. When you turn on the system, the TrafficKit module analyzes the 5 best frequencies stored in its memory. These frequencies are classified in order of signal strength. The module then tests if Traffic data is available on the first station. If the first station is sending Traffic messages, the module will stay on that frequency, otherwise it will test the next one until it finds a station that delivers Traffic data.

If none of the 5 frequencies can be used, the TrafficKit module will start scanning the entire FM band. It will search for the best five frequencies on which Traffic data is available and will tune in to the strongest station. These five best frequencies will be saved in memory to be used the next time the system is powered up.

Q2- Why do we have to wait between 2 and 5 minutes before the RDS module starts delivering RDS data?

A2: This is the average time for the module to test all the possible frequencies on the FM band and choose the best one in terms of signal level and Traffic data availability/quality.
