QuickSpell
Your Magellan RoadMate receiver
uses afeature known as
QuickSpell for entering cities and
streets. QuickSpell displays only
those keys that could
be used to
enter acity
or address that is in the
receiver's memory. For example,
in the screen shown here for street
entry, only the letters that spell a
street are displayed. This greatly reduces the chance for errors as well
speeds up the address entry process.
Tapping the checkmark (Street entry) or List button (City Name entry) to
bring up alist
of streets or cities that begin with the letters entered.
When the available cities or streets
is short, the receiver will
automatically switch to the list, displaying those items that begin with the
letters you've entered.
Another way the Magellan
RoadMate makes entering
an
address easy is through the use of
Smart City Search. The Magellan
RoadMate receiver uses your
location as well as cities you've
created routes to before to try to
figure out the city you are looking
for. As you enter characters, the
'computed' city is displayed at the top
of the screen.
Ifyou tap on the city at the top of the display
or on the green checkmark,
it is selected as your destination city and you are then required to enter
the street. Tap on LIST when the button is active to bring up the list of
cities beginning with the characters you've entered. (Note that if the
number
of cities that begin with the characters you've entered is short,
the list is automatically displayed.)
