Chapter 2: GPS Information  
2.1 About Satellite Navigation  
Global satellite navigation is an exciting technology, providing enhanced productivity and accuracy in a vast number of  
industries. It adds a new level of enjoyment and safety to a wide range of navigation, sports, and recreational activities.  
A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a network of satellites that transmit high-frequency radio signals containing  
time and distance data that can be picked up by a receiver, allowing users to pinpoint their precise locations anywhere  
around the globe.  
There are two Global Navigation Satellite Systems in operation: the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian  
GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS). These systems are constantly being upgraded to meet higher standards of  
reliability. A third GNSS named GALILEO, after the Italian astronomer of the early 1600s, is being developed in Europe  
specifically to provide a higher standard of integrity and reliability, required to ensure the safety of lives during transport by  
air, land and sea, without the use of additional augmentation systems.  
While the GPS and GLONASS satellite networks are being developed to achieve maximum performance, Satellite-Based  
Augmentation Systems (SBAS) have been established to provide improved accuracy. SBAS provides differential signal  
corrections for GPS and GLONASS transmissions with the use of ground stations and geostationary satellites in specific  
regions. This is GNSS-1, the first phase in establishing the required integrity for high-precision satellite navigation.  
GNSS-2 requires the launching of new satellites into orbit and a complete upgrade of the existing satellite systems. This  
second phase is already well underway. GALILEO, scheduled to begin service in 2008, is being developed to meet the  
standards of GNSS-2 for rapid and reliable, certified precision positioning.  
2.2 How Satellite Navigation Works  
Global navigation satellites continuously transmit time and distance information as they orbit Earth in a precise formation.  
Navigation satellite receivers use this information to calculate an exact location through triangulation. Every point on Earth is  
identified by two sets of numbers called coordinates. These coordinates represent the exact point where a horizontal line,  
known as latitude, crosses a vertical line, known as longitude. The receiver locks on to at least three satellites and uses the  
information received to determine the coordinates of the receiving device.  
By comparing the time the signals were transmitted from the satellites and the time they were recorded, the receiver  
calculates how far away each satellite is. The distance of the receiver from three or more satellites reveals its position on the  
surface of the planet. With these distance measurements, the receiver might also calculate speed, bearing, trip time,  
distance to destination, altitude, and more.  
The satellite-navigation device may display its position as longitude/latitude, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Military  
Grid (MG), or simply as a point on an electronic map. Many Thales Navigation receivers provide comprehensive mapping  
data, making satellite navigation an easy tool to enhance your recreational and industrial activities.  
2.2.1 Line of Sight  
Satellite-navigation receivers operate by line of sight with global-positioning satellites. This means that at least three  
satellites must be in “view” of a receiver in order to calculate longitude and latitude. A fourth satellite must also be within  
line of sight to calculate altitude. On average, eight satellites are continuously within line of sight of every position on Earth;  
the more satellites in view, the more accurate the positioning.  
Though the radio signals of navigation satellites will pass through clouds, glass, plastic, and other lightweight materials,  
satellite-navigation receivers will not work underground or in other enclosed spaces.

Chapter 2: GPS Information  
2.3 A Word on the Safe Usage of GPS Maps  
Just like paper maps, maps on GPS devices vary greatly in terms of information included and visual presentation. Whether  
topographical maps, roadmaps or marine charts, each map and the data it presents is designed for a specific purpose. For  
example, marine charts will often present only a minimal representation of roadways and are not a substitute for street maps.  
Topographic maps usually provide minimal detail about bodies of water and do not contain marine navigational markers.  
Maps also vary widely in scale: the smaller the scale, the more detailed the map. Therefore, when using GPS maps (just as  
with paper maps) it is important to consider what type of map you are using in your explorations and to use common sense.  
2.3.1 From Source to Destination  
Thales Navigation, maker of Magellan GPS products, is not a cartography company. We do not create the maps that are used  
on our GPS devices. We seek to acquire map data from the best public and private sources available at the time of  
publication. Thales Navigation licenses* topographical maps, roadmaps, marine charts and points of interest (POI) data  
from commercial and governmental cartographic sources that provide raw map data. Thales Navigation processes and  
compresses the raw data into a format that makes it presentable and manageable to work on our GPS devices. And to ensure  
that our map data is as robust as possible, data from multiple sources are often combined to provide a better user experience  
for our customers. This processing does not alter the landforms, coordinates or other spatial data that comes in the raw data.  
The accuracy of the maps is fundamentally dependent on the source data used to create them. Map data changes frequently  
due to both natural and man-made causes. As a result, governmental and commercial cartography companies must  
continuously review, correct, and improve upon their map data. We release new versions of our maps on a regular basis to  
reflect these changes.  
After processing the data, we test the compatibility of the map with our GPS devices to ensure that the products we release  
work properly on our GPS devices. We also beta-test our products to get customer feedback prior to release.  
2.4 Placement of Your GPS Receiver for Optimal Satellite Reception  
FIrstly, before considering signal reception, it is important to understand that your GPS receiver is a sensitive piece of  
equipment. You should never place it in an area of your vehicle where it may be struck by other items, or where vibration may  
cause it to strike other items or parts of the vehicle. The windshield mount included in the box allows you to place the  
receiver in such a way that the antenna can receive the satellite signal through the windshield without being obstructed by  
other parts of the vehicle. However, tinted windows or other reflective coatings may interfere with reception. In this case, it  
may be required to attach an external antenna (optional). An external antenna provides faster satellite fix times and greater  
signal strength. Because it is mounted outside of the vehicle, it is not affected by reflective coatings on windows and has an  
unobstructed line of sight to the satellites. Other mounting solutions are available but may require an external antenna.  
External conditions also affect GPS signal reception. Although weather conditions do not affect the signal, tall buildings and  
trees, driving through canyons, wooded areas, or tunnels, and sitting in a garage or covered parking area will affect the GPS  
signal. The GPS receiver constantly monitors and updated the GPS signal status and will reacquire the signal once it is clear  
of any obstructions.  
2.5 Signal Acquisition Time  
The first time you use your Magellan RoadMate 6000T, or if you travel over 500 miles with it off, there may be a delay in  
receiving the initial satellite fix; depending on your position and the position of the satellites, this could take 15 minutes or  
more. Normal usage will receive the satellite fix much faster, but still may take several minutes. It is important to have your  
antenna rotated upward and an unobstructed view of the sky to receive the best possible satellite signal.

2.6 GPS Maps and Your Safety  
Remember, your GPS device is an aid to navigation. It must be used with common sense, and it is important that users  
interpret GPS map data with a critical eye. Landscapes and roads change or may be impassable, trees and tall buildings can  
obscure GPS signals, and your GPS device may not always reflect the complete picture. When using GPS, you must combine  
the information provided by your GPS map with your relevant local knowledge, road signage, buoys, depth soundings and  
changing local conditions to generate a complete understanding of your situation.  
It is your responsibility to ensure compliance to all traffic laws, including pedestrian observance of crosswalks, and to use  
good judgment while operating the Magellan GPS receiver. Safety must be your primary concern. The Magellan GPS receiver  
must not be used while engaged in any activity requiring the user's full attention to the environment. For instance, the  
Magellan RoadMate 6000T GPS receiver should be operated only by vehicle passengers or by the driver when the vehicle  
has come to a complete stop. The driver must not attempt to view the display while driving. Disregard any unsafe, hazardous  
or illegal route suggestions.  
Magellan maps do not include, analyze, process, consider or reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as 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, sidewalk, or waterway closures or conditions; weather conditions;  
pavement characteristics or conditions; special events; traffic congestion; time of day.  
*Thales Navigation licenses map data from governmental sources such as, but not limited to, U.S. Geological Survey  
(USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA-NOS) and the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS).  
Thales Navigation also licenses map data from commercial cartography companies such as Navigation Technologies,  
Navionics, DMTI and C-Map.

•
Do not enter prefixes such as “N” or “North”.  
Do not enter the street type such as “Ave.” or “Avenue” except in some cases where the street type is included before  
the street name (e.g. “Via Calle”, “Avenue 378”, or “Rue Andre”).  
•
•
When entering a numbered street (e.g. “4th Street”), use the numeric keypad to enter “4” and go back to the alpha key-  
pad to enter “th”.  
For streets with multiple words such as “Overland Heights”, you must enter the first word. Entering the word “Heights”  
will not return the desired street.

5.11 Multi-Word Indexing  
The Magellan RoadMate employs a search feature known as “Multi-Word Indexing”. This feature enables you to search the  
database for possible matches based on the characters that have been entered. The returned matches will start with the  
characters that have been entered. For example:  
You are searching for a street called “Red Barn Lane”. Rather than spell the entire name of the  
street, you can simply enter “Red”. The Magellan RoadMate will return all database entries  
containing the word 'Red' as part of the street name. The returned list is subject to the  
additional parameters set by the search, such as the town or county that was entered.  
The database only indexes the base names of streets. In the example above, only the words  
“Red” and “Barn” will be indexed.  
When entering street names, do not enter prefixes such as “N” or “North” unless the whole word is part of the street name.  
By entering “N” the search will return all streets starting with the letter “N”.  
Also, do not enter suffixes such as “St” or “Ave” or “Rd” unless the whole word is part of the street name. By entering “St”  
the search will return all words starting with “St”.  
•
Town names and Points of Interest are also Multi-Word Indexed in the same way as street names. By entering the letters  
‘Port’ or ‘Talbot’ a list of town names containing these words, one of which will be Port Talbot, will be returned. Entering  
part of a POI name will return all POIs within t

6.7 Choosing the Route Method  
Every route is calculated based on the Route Method criteria selected. Every time a new destination is selected, the  
Magellan RoadMate 6000T prompts you for the method that will be used to calculate the route.  
Shortest Time: This selection calculates a route that should take the least amount of time  
using speed limits and other information in the database. Other factors, such as traffic

6.10 Detouring from the Planned Route  
If you exit the planned route, the Magellan RoadMate 6000T will get you back on course in one of three ways.  
1. If, while driving, you detour from the planned route, the Magellan RoadMate 6000T will automatically recalculate  
the route based on your new vehicle position.  
2. If you exit the planned route before its completion and turn off your vehicle, the Magellan RoadMate 6000T will  
switch to battery power, unless your cigarette lighter maintains constant power. In either situation, the Magellan  
RoadMate 6000T will automatically suspend power when enabled through customization. While in “sleep” mode,  
navigation functions will be suspended and guidance will resume when the Magellan RoadMate 6000T wakes up.  
3. If while routing, the Magellan RoadMate 6000T fails to respond, reset the Magellan RoadMate 6000T as described  
on page 13. The Resume Guidance screen will appear.

6.11 Excluding a Maneuver in the Planned Route  
While traveling or setting up your destination you may find it necessary to exclude one of the maneuvers in the Maneuver  
List. This could be due to an accident or street maintenance you want to avoid. The Magellan RoadMate 6000T provides you  
with tools to select a specific maneuver, exclude it from the planned route and reroute the trip.  
Press the VIEW key to get to the Maneuver List. Select the maneuver you wish to exclude.  
The details for the maneuver are displayed. Select Exclude.  
The trip will be recalculated, excluding the selected maneuver. This calculation is done using  
the same Route Method that was chosen originally. After the route is recalculated, the Map  
screen is displayed.

Re-routing Mode: This mode will reroute the vehicle if a TMC event impacts the route, and a faster alternative route is  
available.  
9.2 Understanding How The TrafficKit Works  
Please read the following statements before using the TrafficKit.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
You can enable and disable TMC event categories. By default, all categories are enabled.  
Selected TMC events will either alert and/or re-route you depending on the operating mode.  
All selected event categories will be displayed on the map screen in the form of traffic event icons.  
If you are not routing to a destination, the RDS function will only display TMC events on the map screen.  
9.2.1 RDS-TMC Operating Modes  
In the Magellan RoadMate, TMC events that impact your route can be processed in one of the following two modes:  
•
Re-routing Mode. (Default) TMC events affecting your route will trigger the Magellan RoadMate to automatically  
calculate a new route, if a faster alternative route is available.  
•
Alert Mode. TMC events affecting your route will be reported to you in the form of warning messages on the  
Magellan RoadMate screen.  
Setting and using these two operating modes are discussed in the next chapters.  
9.2.2 Selecting Categories of TMC Events  
You may choose the TMC event categories you would like to be informed of as they occur:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Access the Navigation Options menu and select Configuration  
Scroll down the list and select TMC Options.  
Select Incident Options.  
In the displayed list, check all categories of TMC events (incidents) you want the Magellan RoadMate to process,  
and deselect events that are of no interest. Use the Down button to scroll to the bottom of the list. For best rout-  
ing Magellan recommends leaving all of the boxes checked.  
The existing categories of TMC events are listed at the beginning of this manual in  
the Glossary.  
Checking an option in this list implies that:  
•
The Magellan RoadMate’s map screen will show ALL the received  
events pertaining to this category at their respective locations.  
Any event from this category that is located along the route will calcu-  
late an alternative route if the Magellan RoadMate determines the  
alternative route is faster.

Live Alert: With this option checked, the Magellan RoadMate will search for a faster alternative route whenever a  
TMC event arises on your current route. This will happen at the time the event is received, regardless of your dis-  
tance to the event.  
•
Dist. to event < 40 mi: With this option checked, the Magellan RoadMate will re-route you only if the distance to  
this TMC 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.  
7.  
Select Save to confirm your choice and then Save again to return to your guidance screen.  
9.2.4 Traveling with the Re-routing Mode On  
When you use your Magellan RoadMate in the Re-routing Mode, the following will occur whenever a TMC event that affects  
your route is received:  
•
•
The Magellan RoadMate will analyze the impact this event will have on your route.  
A “Re-calculating the route” message will pop up on the Magellan RoadMate screen along with the reason for  
the re-calculation.  
•
•
Once the Magellan RoadMate has computed an alternative route, 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. In this case you will see the event in the maneuvers list when you get  
closer to its location.  
•
•
•
If the alternative route is the best route to follow, the Magellan RoadMate will start guiding you along this route.  
The map screen will also show road signs corresponding to TMC events, including those not affecting the route.  
Events that affect your route will also appear as road signs in the manuever list.  
9.2.5 Alert Only Mode  
Setting the Alert Mode. This mode will not provide you with new routing information, it will only alert you to the event. (Magellan recom-  
mends that you keep both incident Options checked.)

9.4 FAQs  
Q1- How does the Magellan RoadMate module choose the frequency on which to receive TMC  
data?  
R1: This is an automated procedure. When you turn on the system, the Traffic module analyzes the 5 best frequencies stored  
in its memory. These frequencies are classified in order of signal strength. The module then tests if TMC data is available on  
the first station. If the first station is sending TMC messages, the module will stay on that frequency, otherwise it will test the  
next one until it finds a station that delivers TMC 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 TMC 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 the first time we  
use it?  
R2: 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 TMC data availability/quality.

Chapter 18: Magellan RoadMate POI Manager  
The Magellan RoadMate POI Manager enables you to transfer custom points of interest files from your computer to your  
Magellan RoadMate 6000T.  
Before we add any custom POI’s to the Magellan RoadMate 6000T, you should understand how the POI Manager plots POIs.  
18.1 Latitude  
90° (North Pole)  
80°  
Latitude can be expressed by dividing Earth into horizontal segments  
70°  
totalling 180 degrees. Starting at the Equator, or zero degrees Latitude,  
lines (or Parallels) are drawn in 10-degree increments 90 degrees to the  
north and 90 degrees to the south. If your location is below the Equator,  
you are at a South Latitude.  
60°  
50°  
40°  
30°  
20°  
10°

30°  
40°  
50°  
60°  
70°  
80°  
90° (South Pole)  
18.2 Longitude  
Conversely, longitude lines can be expressed by dividing Earth into vertical  
segments totalling 360 degrees. Starting at the Prime Meridian (which is  
The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England), or zero degrees Longitude,  
lines are drawn in 10-degree increments 180 degrees to the West and 180  
degrees to the East. If your location is on the western hemisphere, you are  
at a West Longitude.  
West Longitude  
70° 50° 30° 10° 10° 30° 50° 70° 90°  
80° 60° 40° 20° 0° 20° 40° 60° 80°  
90°  
Additionally, to narrow down your location further, each 10-degree segment  
is divided into 60 smaller segments called minutes and, still further, each  
minute is divided into 60 segments called seconds.  
East Longitude  
To express this in coordinates, the city of Los Angeles is located at 34°  
(degrees) 03’ (minutes) and 08 (seconds) North of the Equator, and 118°  
(degrees) 14’ (minutes) and 42 (seconds) West of the Prime Meridian.

Chapter 18: Magellan RoadMate POI Manager  
18.3 Altitude  
Each location can also have an Altitude. Altitude is expressed  
by how far the point is above or below the level of the ocean, or  
Sea Level. For example, Los Angeles, California is about 300  
feet above sea level. Death Valley, California is about 270 feet  
below sea level.

18.5 Creating a New POI FIle  
There are two ways to create a POI file. You can either add POI’s individually, or you can import a character delimited file  
containing the information need to plot the POI’s. To plot a POI, each item must have a name, longitude, and latitude.  
Longitude and latitude must be in decimal format.  
18.6 Adding Individual POI’s  
Click on the New POI File Button to launch the POI Editor.  
Click on the Add button  
.
Enter the Name, the Latitude, and the Longitude. The Altitude and Description fields are optional.

Optional Mounting  
NOTICE TO DRIVERS IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA: State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using  
suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other state or local laws may also prohibit drivers from  
using suction cups on their windshields. Other Magellan dashboard or friction mounting options should be used and are  
available at www.magellanGPS.com. Thales Navigation, Inc. does not take any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or  
damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice. (See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a);  
Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71.)  
Instructions for Mounting the Adhesive Disk  
1. Locate a flat, non-porous surface on the dashboard or con-  
sole. Clean the selected area with the alcohol pad pro-  
vided.  
Do NOT affix to windshield.  
2. Peel the paper cover off of the adhesive backing.  
3. Apply the disk to the cleaned surface.  
Allow the adhesive disk to cure in the vehicle at room  
temperature (72°F) for 24-hours before attaching the  
windshield mount.  
4. Attach the windshield mount to the adhesive disk by frimly  
pressing the suction cup against the disk. Lock the suction  
cup by pressing the locking lever.  
Position the mount so that the Magellan RoadMate is at a  
comfortable viewing level.

Frequently Asked Questions  
Why is my street not showing up on the map?  
The Magellan RoadMate 6000T uses the most current available map data. Chances are, your street is in a new housing  
development or the street is new. Map updates may be made available once per year.  
I know there is a gas station on this street corner, why is there not icon for it on the map?  
Check your POI settings and make sure you have the necessary POI checked to make it visible on the map. See “POI  
Selection” on page 57.  
The Magellan RoadMate 6000T uses the latest POI data available. Chances are the POI you are looking for is relatively new  
and has not been added to the database. If this is not the case, it may have been overlooked or changed since the POI  
database was created. You can add custom POIs to your Magellan RoadMate 6000T to make up for those you route to often.  
See “Chapter 18: Magellan RoadMate POI Manager” on page 99., and “Custom POIs” on page 57.  
The GPS signal is weak. What’s going on?  
You may be driving through an area that has tall buildings or trees, or a canyon, or a tunnel. These conditions may interfere  
with satellite signals. Wait a few moments and the signal should get better as more satellites are acquired. If the problem  
persists, there may be a problem with the antenna. Contact Technical Support.  
Why is an address I know I routed to not in the Previous Destinations list?  
The Previous Destinations list stores the last 50 places you routed to. When you get to number 51, the first destination on  
the list is removed and each successive destination is moved up.  
Can I play MP3’s and Route at the same time?  
Yes  
Can I import a play list from Windows Media Player?  
No. The Music Player does not support playlists from other applications.  
Can I use any third party SD/MMC card with the Magellan RoadMate 6000T  
The Magellan RoadMate 6000T is compatible with most major brands of SD/MMC card.
