Getting started
Congratulations on your purchase of the system. Your system can guide you to the
destination of your choice using signals from Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) orbiting
the earth.
There are 24 GPS satellites orbiting the earth. A GPS device can calculate your position
on the earth if it can receive signals from at least three of these satellites.
Starting the system
Once you have charged the battery, you are ready to start the system.

warning. The map view appears and you are ready to

Getting a GPS signal
To use the system to guide you to a destination, the system’s GPS antenna must be
receiving signals. GPS signals can be obstructed by ceilings, trees, and nearby tall
buildings. Signals can also be obstructed by the roof of your vehicle. For best results,
position your system where it has a clear view of the sky.

Working with the map
The system gives you many ways of looking at the map. You can see your current
position, you can view any of the maneuvers on a route, and you can pan the map to
view other areas. You can zoom in and out, and you can find information about specific
locations.
Map view
If you have a GPS signal, the map view on the system shows you your current location,
indicated by a green arrow. If the arrow is red, you do not have a GPS signal, and if the
arrow is yellow the GPS signal is weak.
At the bottom of the map is a scale indicating your current zoom level.
Maneuver detail
If you have set a destination, the map displays additional information. As you navigate to
a destination, the top of the map displays the name of the next street, the direction of your
next turn and the distance to that turn.
At the bottom of the map you see the time, an estimate of how much time before you
arrive at your destination, the remaining distance to your destination, and your current
speed.
Panning the map
You can pan the map by tapping and dragging the map.
To return to the regular map view, press the “X” button.

Route list
Tapping an item on the list and then tapping Map will display the maneuver detail screen
for that maneuver.
Location and POI information
You can find location information about any point on the map by pressing firmly on the
map. A screen appears giving you the opportunity to set the location as the Start or the
Destination, save the location to your Favorites list, or view information.
From the Information screen you have several options:
•
•
•
•
Setting the location as a starting point is useful if you are trying to find the distance
between two locations. Setting the location as your destination is a quick way to set a
destination. Saving the location adds the location to your Favorites list (you’ll learn more
about Favorites later in this manual).
If you press firmly on a POI (Point of Interest) icon, you see the POI(S) screen, which lists
the POIs at that location on the map.
