Bird’s-eye view map
Touch the 3D map icon anytime to switch to a three-dimensional representation and get a bird’s-eye view of the road ahead. Clearly see cross streets and your upcoming turn with the detail of a driving simulator in real time.

Turn-by-turn voice and visual guidance
Dynamic turn-by-turn voice guidance tells you when to make the next turn. The automatic map zooms in to show your highlighted turn and switches to TrueView 3D so you can confirm the direction at a glance. It zooms out again to show a distant maneuver. The automatic functions make the Magellan RoadMate family of GPS receivers an easier, more useful navigation aid than other solutions, so you never miss a turn.

Built-in maps
Detailed maps of the 50 United States, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and Canada enable you to travel the country with no need to download new data. A single seamless database built in to the hard drive contains all major city streets as well as federal, state and county roads and highways. Pre-loaded maps of 27 European* countries may also be unlocked on the device with no need to download any additional data.

Multi-destination Route Optimization
Let your Magellan RoadMate 800 guide you on an optimized trip with several destinations. Use the Trip Planner to enter addresses or select points of interest (POI) before your driving adventure. You choose the order or let Multi-destination Route Optimization 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 SmartVolume™, 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.

Exceptional GPS accuracy and reliability
Magellan RoadMate shows your location on the map which continues to move with you as you travel. It tracks up to 12 GPS satellites simultaneously.

Over 6 million points of interest (POI)
Easy-to-use database of over 6 million pre-programmed POIs includes addresses and even phone numbers, in most cases, for businesses, services, parks, lakes, airports and more. It’s simple to find the nearest restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and more, wherever you 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.

POI icons
Select whichever types of points of interest you would like to appear on the map and see the location of gas stations, restaurants, ATMs and more, as you drive. Touch an icon on the screen for your Magellan RoadMate 800 to route there. You’ll also see the address and phone number (if available) so you can call ahead to make reservations.
