Setting User Options 29
Simulator Mode
This option provides a way to set the Magellan RoadMate into simulation mode. In
simulation mode you can create a route and observe the Magellan RoadMate in action as
it simulates travelling along the route.
Simulation: Check “Propose simulator mode when calculating a route.” to turn the
simulator on. When on, you will be asked each time you create a route if you want
it to be simulated.
Menu Colours
The Magellan RoadMate has four colour schemes built in; Default, Pastel, Forest and
Desert.
Menu Colours: Select the desired colour theme.
Tone Options
The Magellan RoadMate uses an alert tone to indicate that a manoeuvre is upcoming or
has been completed. You can select the type of alert tone to be used.
Tone Options: Select Bell, Chime or Beep.
GPS Options
You can check the status of the GPS signals or set a starting location for the GPS receiver.
GPS Status: Displays high-level information about the satellite and the signal it is
transmitting.
Set GPS Position: This is only useful if you have travelled a great distance with the
Magellan RoadMate off and it is having problems getting GPS signals. You will be
prompted to enter an address for your present location that the Magellan RoadMate
can base its satellite search from. (It is extremely unlikely that you will ever need
to use this option unless instructed to do so by a service technician if you are
experiencing difficulties.) This option can also be used to define a starting point
when simulating a route to a destination.
Backup and Restore
Backup and Restore will save (backup) all of your address, trips, and option settings to an
SD card installed in the Magellan RoadMate. You can then upload (restore) this
information in the future should you lose the information or accidently clear the
addresses.
