Magellan RoadMate SE4/1420/1424 GPS Receiver  
®
®
The Magellan RoadMate receiver is a vehicle navigation product that utilizes GPS signals from satellites to  
calculate your precise location and compute navigational information that can be used to guide you to your  
destination. Knowing its position and movement, it can then overlay this information on detailed maps to provide  
a visual representation of your location.  
With the Magellan RoadMate receiver you can:  
™
•
Save searches and addresses under the OneTouch menu for fast, convenient access to favorite  
destinations.  
•
•
Store your home address and quickly get routing details to your home.  
Enter 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 QuickSpell and Smart City search for easy, errorless address  
entry.  
•
•
Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your Magellan RoadMate receiver.  
Create a route with multiple destinations. Handy for business people who need routing information to many  
destinations.  
®
•
Access the AAA TourBook providing ratings and descriptions on AAA-approved places to stay, play, dine,  
and save. (Magellan RoadMate’s 1420 and 1424 only).  
™
•
•
Access AAA Member Roadside Assistance information from the OneTouch menu. (Magellan RoadMate’s  
1420 and 1424 only).  
View POIs that are near exits ahead of you on the highway. The Highway Exit POIs function provides you  
with a list of gas stations, restaurants, hotels and auto repair shops located nearby exits you are approaching  
while travelling on the interstate.  
•
•
Customize your Magellan RoadMate receiver to meet your needs using the Settings menu.  
With the optional TrafficLink accessory you can receive traffic information so as to avoid delays in your  
travel.  
The user interface for the Magellan RoadMate receiver 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 makes  
it easy for you to access the function you are trying to use and follow the steps provided.  
The Magellan RoadMate receiver 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 receiver to the  
AC power using an optional AC power adapter. Note that a fully charged Magellan RoadMate only has about 2  
hours of battery life. You should note that while indoors you may not get strong enough satellite signals to  
compute your location, so your location information may not be updated. However, the power of the GPS chipset  
installed in the Magellan RoadMate receiver will pick up satellite signals in some very demanding locations. You  
may find that the Magellan RoadMate receiver is computing a position, even indoors. Even with the improved  
GPS chipset, the receiver may not be able to always compute a fix indoors. This is especially important to note if  
you are in a garage or other overhanging structure. If you find you are not getting strong enough satellite signals  
while in a garage or other structure, move to a location where there is a clear view of the sky and you should  
immediately see an improvement in signal strength.  
The Magellan RoadMate receiver includes Voice Alerts (both prerecorded and Text-to-Speech) for driving  
instructions.

Installation Instructions  
Installation of the Magellan RoadMate receiver 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 receiver in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere with  
your view of the road.  
The Magellan RoadMate receiver 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.  
Make sure that the Magellan RoadMate receiver or any cabling will not be disturbed if the airbags are  
activated.  
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 have laws restricting  
the mounting of any device on the windshield.  
•
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.  
Using the Adhesive Disk  
If you plan on using the adhesive disk, you will first need to attach it to the dashboard and allow it to cure for 24  
hours before continuing. Find a smooth, flat surface and clean it using the alcohol pad supplied.  
Remove the protective tape from the back of the adhesive disk. Apply the disk with the adhesive side towards the  
dashboard. Maintain pressure on the disk for 5 minutes to allow it to set in place. Allow the disk 24 hours to cure  
before continuing.  
Securing the Car Cradle to the Windshield or Adhesive Disk  
Use the alcohol pad that came with the Magellan RoadMate receiver to clean the area on the windshield that has  
been selected for mounting the Magellan RoadMate receiver. Let the area dry completely.  
Make sure that the lever at the base of the adjustable mount is in the up  
position. Place the base of the car cradle firmly over the area of the  
windshield or adhesive disk to be used. 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.  
(The Car Cradle shown here may be different from the Car Cradle supplied  
with your Magellan RoadMate receiver, but the installation is the same for all  
cradle styles.)

Attaching the Magellan RoadMate receiver to the Car Cradle  
Slide the Magellan RoadMate receiver on the car cradle so that the slot on the  
Magellan RoadMate receiver aligns with the tab on the car cradle. Slide the  
Magellan RoadMate receiver all the way down until it rests on the 'feet'. You should  
notice a click when the receiver is fully mounted in the cradle.  
Adjusting the Mount for Optimum Viewing  
Loosen the adjustment locking knobs and position the Magellan RoadMate receiver  
for optimum viewing. Once set, tighten the locking knobs. (Never attempt to adjust  
the mount while driving.)  
Connecting Power  
Plug the end of the vehicle power adapter into a 12VDC vehicle power  
receptacle. Connect the other end of the cable to the Magellan RoadMate  
receiver's power connector as shown.  
Note: Some vehicles apply power to the vehicle power receptacle only  
when the ignition is on.  
Checking Connection and Final Adjustments  
If the power indicator light on the vehicle power adaptor is on, power is being supplied to the Magellan RoadMate  
receiver. 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.  
Power Switch (Configurations)  
The Magellan RoadMate can have two possible power switch configurations. You may have either a switch that  
slides and springs back or you may have a receiver with a 3-way power switch.

theft.  
Please note that the Magellan RoadMate receiver is a receiver only and does not transmit GPS location signals.  
Neither the receiver nor the vehicle can be tracked using the Magellan RoadMate receiver.

Notes on Entering Data  
If you are having trouble getting the results you expected, here are a few useful tips.  
•
Check for apostrophes and hyphens. If you do not see the POI or street name you are looking for in the list,  
check to see if the name has an apostrophe or hyphen.  
•
•
The more characters you enter, the smaller the list of possible options is from which to choose.  
When entering a street or city name it is not necessary to use accented letters. You can enter city and  
streets names using only standard characters.

Smart City Search  
The Magellan RoadMate receiver utilizes a feature known as “Smart City Search”. What this does is it attempts to  
predict the city you are looking for. This prediction is based upon two major factors; your position and cities  
you’ve gone to before.  
In this example I am in Los Angeles and enter “PA”. The receiver  
looks for cities I’ve already gone to as well as cities near my  
location that begin with “PA” and, in this case comes up with  
“PASADENA, CA”.  
In this example “PA” has been entered again but this time the  
receiver is in Atlanta, GA. The city displayed now is Palmetto,  
GA, so location has changed the predicted city to one closer to  
your location.  
QuickSpell  
Another feature the Magellan RoadMate receiver has to make  
entering cities and streets easier is a feature known as  
QuickSpell. In the example to the right, “CE” has been entered  
for a street name in Chicago, IL. The Magellan RoadMate  
receiver has predicted that the street name may be Cedar Ave.  
Also it has greyed out any letters that could not be used to spell a  
street name in the database. This provides quick and error-free  
city and street name entry.

searching for and some random coupons displayed in a banner on the Map screen.

You will be able to get traffic information in major US cities (indicated on this map) as well as in Toronto, Canada.
