Navigation Features
GPS Receiver: The Magellan RoadMate Pro 9165T is equipped
with a WAAS/EGNOS-equipped GPS receiver. It receives tracking signals from
numerous satellites, updating your position once per second. This receiver
provides positioning accuracy down to 3 to 5 meters (10-16 feet).
Note: 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 Pro
receiver.
GPS Antenna: The portable navigation unit features an
integrated multidirectional GPS patch antenna adding to its sleek design.
Note: The first time you use the Magellan RoadMate it
may take up to 4 minutes to compute your location under normal conditions.
With adverse conditions (not having a clear view of the sky) the time to
compute your location the first time can increase.
GPS Positioning: Setting a GPS position is useful if you are
not getting satellite information quickly because the Magellan RoadMate Pro 9165T
has traveled over 500 miles while turned off. Setting the GPS position will
allow the unit to compute which satellites are available and calculate the
position quicker.
GPS Status Screen: The GPS Status screen uses green bars to
indicate that the Magellan RoadMate Pro 9165T is using certain GPS satellites to
compute the position. Orange bars indicate that the Magellan RoadMate Pro 9165T
is trying to lock onto a satellite signal and no bar shown indicates a satellite
that is not being tracked. The longer the bars, the better the signal.
Map Data: The RoadMate Pro 9165T comes with detailed maps and
destinations of the United States (including Alaska & Hawaii), Canada, and
Puerto Rico, preloaded onto the built-in flash memory.
Note: Map upgrades are available for purchase from the
