Magellan RoadMate 2000 GPS Receiver Questions & Answers
My Magellan Roadmate won't turn on
THere is nothing wrong with it. On the left side of the unit pull up the rubber cover. You will see a very small switch and a button above it or below it.
With a a pen slid the switch, and push the re set button. Then slid the switch back. and turn on the unit the way you normally do. If it doesn't light up
either you did it wrong, the unit is discharged, or there is something wrong with it. If nothing works call Magellan and if it is still under service, they will help you. Good luck to you.

i fix these and many other magellan
gps daily so when considering

assuming your car charger is working (the little green light is on) and
your magellan still wont start up after holding the power button while
its
plugged in for up to ten seconds and still does not start..read below
this
is actually a very common problem with these magellan power
ports...they are poor quality from the factory and always and i mean
always fail..the new ports that you find on ebay are 100% better then
the factory port.
if your able to replace that power port
yourself, you can get one HERE, if not, ask the fellow that
sells them for help.

Either the charger or battery is gone, how can I
hi tracyw23
if you can get it to turn on, go to the system settings, then power options. while plugged in, the battery indicator should be moving from left to right if its charging. if its not moving, wiggle the cord where it goes in the 2000 and see if the meter starts charging.

The usb port is not
if you have a magellan 2000 as listed in the title, the 2000 can not be charged using the USB port, you need to have a car charger or a home charger to charge that unit...only certain magellan can be charged with the usb cable, but the 2000 isnt one of them...
you can read your user manual for the 2000
HERE the link is actually for a crossover, but its the same as a 2000/crossover and the 2500...magellan has removed the 2000 from there web site for some reason, but if you read the manual in that link, all models similar to your use the USB to transfer data to your unit from the PC, the charging port is below the USB port....if you need help finding a charger, just post back and ill find you one...i get all mine off ebay for just a few dollars.
