Todd,
Most GPS's have some sort of a master reset, which clears everything and
sets it as it came from the factory. Garmin uses something like "power
on/new page/zoom in" at the same time for a reset. I'm sure Magellan has a
sequence too so do a google check on your model or Magellan tech support
should be able to give you that info.
