Options that provide means to customize your Magellan Maestro to meet your needs.

The interface for the Magellan Maestro is easy and simple to follow once you understand the basics.  
You may never need to refer to this manual but if you do we have tried to present it in a form that you 
can access the function you are trying to complete and follow the steps provided.

The Magellan Maestro has a built-in battery so in most cases you will be able to follow these 
instructions while reading them on your computer screen without plugging it in to AC power.  You 
should note that while indoors you may not get any satellite signals so your location information would 
not be updated.  However, the power of the SiRFstarIII™ chipset installed in the Magellan Maestro 
will get satellite signals in some very rough locations so you may notice the Magellan Maestro 
computing a position, even indoors.
