Map Colour
You can choose from nine different combinations of colours for the map display.
Auto Night Mode: Changes the colours of the display to the one chosen for ‘Night
Screen’ during evening hours. With Auto Night Mode off, only the Day Screen
colours are used.
Day Screen/Night Screen: Select these buttons to go to the map colour selection
screen. Select the desired colour from the list on the left.
Route Preferences
You can turn automatic re-routing on or off. With automatic re-routing on, the receiver will
automatically recalculate the route whenever you leave the planned route.
Automatic Re-Routing: When checked, automatic re-routing is on.
Detour Options
The Magellan RoadMate detects when you are on a route and you are moving slowly or not
moving at all on a motorway. It then provides you with the option of detouring around the
problem area. It can alert you visually on the map by displaying the detour icon or you can
set it not to alert you so you can select detour from the main menu yourself.
5 km/10 km/ 15 km (3 mi/5 mi/10 mi) or Custom: This setting determines the
distance that the detour will take you around. (If you are stationary on a motorway
and select detour, the Magellan RoadMate will calculate the detour and try to get
you back on the original route in the distance specified.)
Enable automatic detour: This defines if the detour icon will be shown on the map
when the Magellan RoadMate determines that a detour should be used.
Alert After: This sets the duration when you have stopped or moving slowly on the
motorway before a detour icon is displayed.
Example: Settings of ‘5 km’, ‘Enable automatic detour’ on, and ‘Alert After’ set to
1 min. You are being routed on a motorway and have been moving at 10 kph due to
a traffic jam ahead. After 1 minute of moving slowly, the detour icon will be
displayed on the left side of the map indicating that a detour should be used. If
you want to activate the detour, press on MENU and select ‘Detour’. Select ‘Route’
and the Magellan RoadMate will calculate a new route, detouring around the next
5 kilometres.
