2.6 GPS Maps and Your Safety
Remember, your GPS device is an aid to navigation. It must be used with common sense, and it is important that users
interpret GPS map data with a critical eye. Landscapes and roads change or may be impassable, trees and tall buildings can
obscure GPS signals, and your GPS device may not always reflect the complete picture. When using GPS, you must combine
the information provided by your GPS map with your relevant local knowledge, road signage, buoys, depth soundings and
changing local conditions to generate a complete understanding of your situation.

It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with all traffic laws, including observance of pedestrian crossings, and to use
good judgment while operating the Magellan GPS receiver. Safety must be your primary concern. The Magellan GPS receiver
must not be used while engaged in any activity requiring the user’s full attention of the environment. For instance, the
Magellan RoadMate 6000T GPS receiver should be operated only by vehicle passengers or by the driver when the vehicle
has come to a complete stop. The driver must not attempt to view the display while driving. Disregard any unsafe, hazardous
or illegal route suggestions.
