Portability
The
3.5" color touch screen shows your position with multiple views

Magellan RoadMate 800 GPS navigation system will guide you through
every turn. It automatically calculates the most direct route and
recalculates whenever you take a detour or make additional stops.
Routing options enable you to choose the best routing option for
you - shortest time, shortest distance, stay on or stay off the
freeway. Customize every trip to easily avoid toll roads or exclude
selected streets. SmartDetourT will automatically route around stopped
freeway traffic.
With
the integrated rechargeable battery you can use your Magellan RoadMate
800 even when you don't have access to power. Use it to view photos
of your family and friends when you are away from home, listen to
your favorite music with the built-in speaker or use the included
headphones, or enter addresses and trips from wherever you are.
Built-in
detailed street maps and over 6 million pre-loaded points of interest
make it easy to find the nearest restaurant, gas station, ATM, airport
and more. It has never been easier or more fun to get around town
or take long trips to distant locations. And if traveling abroad
is in your plans, this GPS system comes pre-loaded with detailed
maps of 27 European countries that can be unlocked for a fee.
The advanced features of the Magellan RoadMate 800 provide easy,
powerful and personalized GPS navigation, plus on-the-go multimedia:

Turn-by-turn voice and visual guidance

GPS receivers an easier, more useful navigation aid than other
solutions, so you never miss a turn. |

with several destinations. Use the Trip Planner to enter addresses

calculate the quickest route between each point from your present
location. Add and subtract destinations as you go, and save
your Trip to repeat the same route again. |

SmartDetour
When traffic slows or stops on the freeway for more than a couple
of minutes or any amount of time you set, SmartDetour will automatically
calculate a detour and ask you if you'd like to route around
the congestion. You can turn the feature on and off, or personalize
the settings for the maximum distance you'd like to detour.
You may also choose to Detour anytime by touching the enter
button while you are in an active route, even on city streets
and backroads, to route around road work, closed roads, flooded
streets or stopped traffic. |
 |
Auto Re-route
Whenever you decide to take a detour or go off course, your Magellan
RoadMate automatically calculates a new route as you drive.
Automatic night view and volume
More automatic features include night view. The displayed map background
color switches to night view at sundown, and back to day view in
the morning. So you always have a clear view of where you're headed.
With SmartVolumeT, the volume automatically increases at speeds
over 45 MPH. So voice and audio prompts are always at the right
level for maximum clarity.
Complete mobility
Lightweight and completely portable, your Magellan RoadMate 800
is easily transferred from one vehicle to another, so you can take
it with you wherever you go. The built-in rechargeable battery lets
you continue routing or listen to music or view pictures when unplugged.
Its compact size and light weight enable you to easily take it with
you on business trips or vacations.

addresses and even phone numbers, in most cases, for businesses,
services, parks, lakes, airports and more. It's simple to find the

travel! A simple touch-screen menu makes it easy to choose a location
by category or sub-category. So if you want to find the nearest
Chinese restaurant, just touch the screen.
