Getting started

Congratulations on your purchase of the AUDIOVOX NVX226 system.
Your AUDIOVOX NVX226 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. When it receives at least four signals, a GPS device can
also calculate your altitude (height above sea level).

To use the AUDIOVOX NVX226 system for the first time you need to

charge the battery, and install the map loader into your computer. You can
install the map loader while the battery is charging.

Charging the battery

To charge the battery, plug the power cable into the AUDIOVOX NVX226

system and into a power outlet. Let the battery fully charge (approximately
4 hours).

Acquiring a GPS signal

To use the AUDIOVOX NVX226 system to guide you to a destination, the

system’s GPS antenna must be receiving GPS signals. These signals can
be obstructed by ceilings, trees, and nearby tall buildings. The roof of your
vehicle can also obstruct signals. For best results, position your

AUDIOVOX NVX226 system where a clear view of the sky is available.

Receiving an initial GPS signal may take several minutes. In addition, the
further away the unit is from the last location of use, the longer it will take to
obtain a GPS signal for your current location.

You can quickly view the GPS Info screen by pressing the right side of the

wheel button.

If you continue to tap the right button, the following screens appear in
succession: map screen →GPS Info → Almanac → Location Information →
Route list → map screen.

Working with the map

The AUDIOVOX NVX226 system presents many ways of looking at the map.

Map view

If you have acquired a GPS signal, the map view on the AUDIOVOX
NVX226 system shows you your current location, indicated by a green arrow.

If the arrow is red, no GPS signal is being received, and if the arrow is yellow
the GPS signal is weak.

The bottom of the map presents a scale indicating your current zoom level.
