User Manual
i
The Magellan RoadMate is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving to your selected destinations. When
using the Magellan RoadMate, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to
yourself or others:
California and Minnesota law prohibits mounting any item to your windshield. Please check with your state or local law
enforcement for applicable regulations regarding windshield mounting. Go to www.magellanGPS.com for alternate
mounting solutions. An adhesive disk is supplied with the Magellan RoadMate for use as an alternate mounting solution
to the dashboard.
When driving, the need to view the display is minimal. The driver should enter data or program the Magellan RoadMate
only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the Magellan RoadMate while
the vehicle is moving.
It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws.
Every attempt is made to ensure that the database is accurate. However, roadways, points of interest (POIs), and
business and service locations may change over time. The database does not include, analyze, process, consider, or
reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions);
road slope or grade; bridge height, width, weight, or other limits; population density; neighborhood quality or safety;
availability or proximity of law enforcement, emergency rescue, medical, or other assistance; construction work zones or
hazards; road or lane closures; road, traffic, or traffic facilities’ safety or condition; weather conditions; pavement
characteristics or conditions; special events; traffic congestion. It is your responsibility to disregard any unsafe,
hazardous, or illegal route suggestions.
Keep the Magellan RoadMate safe from extreme temperature conditions. For example, do not leave it exposed to direct
sunlight for an extended period of time.
Take care when mounting the Magellan RoadMate in your vehicle, whether using the windshield mount or other
mounting accessories, that it does not obstruct the driver's view of the road, interfere with the operation of the vehicle's
safety devices such as air bags, or present a hazard to occupants of the vehicle should the Magellan RoadMate be
dislodged while driving. You assume the risks associated with damage to your vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result
of your choices in mounting the Magellan RoadMate.
The battery in the Magellan RoadMate is rechargeable and should not be removed. In the event it should need to be
replaced, please contact Magellan Technical Support.
About Charging the Magellan RoadMate
An optional AC adapter is available as an accessory for your Magellan RoadMate. Use of another type of AC adapter can
result in malfunction and/or possible fire hazard due to battery over heating.
Use only the vehicle power cable approved for / supplied with your Magellan RoadMate. Use of another type of vehicle
power cable will result in malfunction and/or damage to the receiver.
For safety reasons, the battery in your Magellan RoadMate will stop charging when the ambient temperature is less than
32°F (0°C) or more than 113°F (45°C).
It will take approximately 6 hours of charging the Magellan RoadMate through the vehicle power adapter or optional AC
adapter to obtain a full battery charge.
About the Battery
Do not attempt to replace the battery. Please contact Magellan Technical Support for issues related to the battery.
Use only the charger approved for your Magellan RoadMate.

Magellan RoadMate 1412
The Magellan RoadMate 1412 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 1412 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
