Please try the reset button/switch:
Magellan RoadMate models - the location of the reset button is on the right side inside a small hole. Use an object to apply pressure to depress the reset button. Also try holding the power button down for up to 10 seconds to power the unit off and again holding the power button down for up to 10 seconds to power the unit on.
