Magellan Meridian - Manual (Page 26)

1 8 Magellan Meridian GPS Receiver
(If you have been performing the keypresses as you are reading this,
then you are probably viewing one of the NAV screens. In which
case, you need to press [GOTO] to continue following along with
the text. The first thing you will notice is an alert pop-up asking you
if you want to clear the GOTO that is active. With “Yes” high-
lighted, press [ENTER] to continue.)
With “Cities” highlighted and “Alphabetical” in
the Find By field, press [ENTER]. This is a
slight variation of the keyboard you have already
used. This time the “shift” and “backspace” keys
have been replaced with “<-” (move cursor left)
and “->” (move cursor right). What you want to
do here is to begin typing the name of the city
you are looking for.
For example, suppose your destination was to be Los Angeles. Use
the keypad to highlight the letter “L” and press [ENTER]. Notice
how the name is changed to the first city stored in the Meridian’s
memory that begins with the letter “L” and that the cursor has
moved to the next letter in the city name. (You can move the cursor
back if you made a mistake by highlighting the “<-” button on the
keyboard and press [ENTER].)
Since we are looking for Los Angeles, we need to highlight the “O”
next and press [ENTER]. Then the “S” and press [ENTER].
To add a space, highlight the “space bar” and press [ENTER]. (Also,
you can use the “->” button to move the cursor to the right if you
want to skip the letter the cursor is indicating.)
You don’t need to spell out the entire word. The attempt here is to
get close to the name so you won’t need to scroll very far during the
next step. As a guide, entering the first five letters should be
sufficient. When you are satisfied with what you have entered,
highlight “OK” and press [ENTER].
Tip: There is a hidden shortcut that replaces highlighting “OK”
and pressing [ENTER]. When you are satisfied that you have
narrowed the search down and want to proceed to the list, press
the [IN] key.
The list of all the waypoints for the category you selected, in this
case cities, is displayed with the waypoint that was previously
selected at the top of the list. Now just use the Up/Down arrows to
highlight the waypoint you are looking for and press [ENTER].
