Magellan RoadMate 700 (North America)
Discontinued

The Magellan RoadMate 700 contains a pre-loaded map detailing most of Canada (maritimes excluded), maps for the 48 contiguous United States and 25 European countries, plus an enhanced points-of-interest (POI) database. Customers have full access to the North American maps along with the option to pay to unlock European maps at any time.

RoadMate 700 provides voice prompting, turn-by-turn guidance, and the latest touch screen technology. The Magellan RoadMate 700 calculates your route and automatically updates your directions when you decide to take a detour.

The points of interest features are also a huge benefit for travelers who value the ability to find the closest ATMs, tourist attractions, hotels, restaurants and other businesses in nearly 40 categories. Users can select a specific category of POI icons to be displayed on the map screen while they drive. Plus drivers can easily route to a POI on the map screen by simply touching the POI icon.

Among the device's other added conveniences is a feature that lets customers enter personal addresses faster and easier than ever by "beaming" address book data from their Palm OS and Pocket PC devices into the Magellan RoadMate 700.

Drivers can route to their most frequent destination instantly with the touch of a new Home button located on the main menu screen. In addition, drivers now have faster and easier access to new or previously traveled routes. The Magellan RoadMate 700 now offers five times the storage capacity for previous destinations so users can quickly request a route from a list of the last 50 destinations. Enhancements also provide for faster address entries by storing a list of up to 10 previous destination cities, which reduces the need to type a city name each time the driver enters a new address. Another added feature allows drivers to preview a route using the new driving simulation mode.

For added convenience en route, the new split TrueView screen keeps the moving map visible while a 3-D graphic shows the driver a visual depiction of the next maneuver, so the driver stays prepared for every turn without losing sight of his progress along the route path.

Other new or enhanced features include:
• A choice of seven languages, all with male or female voices, including: US-English, UK-English, Dutch, French, German, Italian and Castilian Spanish.
• Enhanced Locate screen with speedometer, altitude and compass information as well as the street number range for the block where the vehicle is located at a given time. The Magellan RoadMate 700 provides peace of mind when drivers need to know exactly where they are, especially when they need to communicate their whereabouts to others.
• Automatic shut off option, which is particularly useful for owners of vehicles with cigarette lighters that remain "hot" full time. If the vehicle is stopped for more than 20 minutes and the screen and buttons have not been used, the system will shut down after providing drivers with an audible and visual alert so they have the option to cancel the automatic shut down.
