The use and operation of navigation systems
Attention! Don’t operate with the device while driving. Even the smallest and shortest distractions from road traffic for you and other road users - even at slow speeds - have devastating consequences.
Type in the destination before starting your journey and start the navigation system before you start driving. If you have to change the route or the settings while driving, you should better stop for it.
Please attach the navigation system in the vehicle, that it not restricts the driver's visual field, or as little as possible. Turn the screen that you have a minimal glare (light from outside). The mount can be rotated and swiveled in any vehicle and provides an optimal position.
Please adjust the volume to a comfortable level you: loud enough to understand it with a normal radio volume and not too loud to get shocked on an advice.
After switch on the device it could takes a few moments to find the required minimum number of navigation satellites. Depending on the environment, it may go faster or longer. Under the open sky, it is the fastest.In inner cities with relatively narrow streets and tall buildings, this process may take longer, because the view to the "the field of view up" is very narrow and that cause reflections of the satellite signals. In metallised windscreens it is possible that you need additional GPS antennas.
After you the address input and the start of the navigation you can start driving. The device will advice you imidiatly after it get a gps fix.
In tunnels, parking garages, homes, etc. The system does not working! Once you exit the tunnel or parking garage, the connection to the satellites will be built as quickly as possible.
The map data is up to date in time of production of your navigation system. Nevertheless, it may happen that you may have long-known streets, house numbers, roundabouts, etc. are not included. This is not a fault, but due to the fact that municipalities do not report all changes in street guides to manufacturers of digital data. They also drive along the road network itself to update the map data. Nevertheless, it can ever happen in priority order that such changes are only incorporated into the following versions.
Updates and Enhancements / Actual-Map / Map36 / u.a.
Your navigation system uses the latest software (Operating system, navigation software and maps), which was the newest in time of production of the device. To receive free updates and enhancements,please go to
www.a-rival.de. Please go to "my a-rival" an register (even for free updates, you must register!). After that
you get always the latest (s) information, software, maps, etc. around your a-rival navigation system.
