Per Magellan,Thank you for contacting Magellan Technical Support. As I understand, you want to know how to use the find your car feature on your Magellan GPS unit.Currently, the find your car feature is only available on a Maestro 4700. Every time the unit is powered off it will automatically save the receiver's last known location. From the map screen press the OneTouch menu, select previous destinations. The first option in the previous destinations screen will be find car. Select find car to see a straight line from the receiver's current location to the parked car on the map screen.

Edwin: Based on my experience with the 9055 model:In theory, the Magellan application, CMTray.exe that you can download should when you connect the Roadmate to the PC with the USB cables. However, after the firmware update it no longer works with Windows, so doing it the hard way with the Mac, which requires you to download the update, put it on a microSD card, then insert it into the Magellan.

Sorry but I did not have the traffic option all I had was a wall charging and car charging cord so I am no help. My 3250 died this summer so I do not even use it anymore. I bought another Magellan GPS

I had no luck with the Magellan from the start, the maps wouldn't load, etc......I bought a Garmin and am pleased with the performance. I'm sorry I can't help more.

I can't seem to update the software. I keep going through the process in magellan content manager but there is no indication that the update occurred or if its near complete. I have left it running all night and day but no update. Anyone know what is happening? I have check the website support but there is no answer.

Although I haven't tried recently, I have nut been able to todays my maps in the past and understand that others have had the same problem. Personally, I think Amazon.com should throughly investigate the problem with a thought toward discontinuing the Magellan product line if the promoted updates are not made readily accessible.

sorry cannot help. I gave away my Magellan roadmate several months ago. found that the only reliable component was the backup camera which worked most of the time. If you try to get the answer from techsupt I hope you have better luck than I did

Hello,I just got a 1490T. Please excuse my ignorance, but I decided on that unit for the traffic feature as I commute over 35 miles each way. Thing is, I can't find a description anywhere that tells me what I need to do to have access to just the traffic info i.e. do I need to have the GPS active even when I don't need it - I know how to get to my office, for example. I'm a bit confused......Regards,Barry

They were not very current when the unit was made, perhaps ~1-2 yrs old at the time. The 3000T is ancient by today's standards. In fact, even when it was 'new' it was not very impressive compared to its peers! Also was unstable and locked up frequently. (the underlying OS was an imbedded Windows from what I recall) Unless you're getting this unit for FREE, I'd suggest staying away and getting something better like a Garmin. Forget about support from Magellan. Just my 2 cents as a former owner of one of these.

Just checked Magellans site and they mention there is no Mac support. Pity, cause the models have much to offer for the money.

I would go to the Magellan website. You will pay top dollar, but you know you will get what works.

When my RoadMate died, I tried everything without success until finally contacted Magellan customer service. They offered involved factory reset procedure which must be followed exactly whereby their special file is downloaded, unzipped to micro SD card, -which worked for me. My Magellan GPS is now working but am not sureabout trusting it, -find myself feeling more like reusing old Tom Tom and keeping an eye out for a great sale on a Garmin.

Hello. I have used just couple time and in the menu option I did not see option for truck. But, please allow suggest to go directly to www.magellangps.com. There is a live chat option and they can answer that question 100%. An you can do a lot of questions in this matter. You can do it just give them a email and the model. I hope this answers help you.

Navigate until you see "English" or something. I found it within a minute. The camera will be "ON" however, the screen goes black so you don't look like a weirdo then your driving at night :)

If you set a waypoint at your car location before you start caching you can call up the waypoint and it will give you the direction to your start point. Your car. Hope that helps.

Ihave a magellan which is done through them. For the garmin, I believe you have to go to the fathom alert website and download to your computer and open the file. i believe you can get all the info from them. I hope it works for you.joe
