The Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based system that provides
location and timing information around the globe. The GPS is operated and controlled
under the sole responsibility of the Government of the United States of America, who
are responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and
accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may impact the operation of you Binatone
Personal Navigation Device (PND).
Using Your PND in the Car
When using your PND while driving it is essential that you drive with due care and
attention. Never modify the settings or program you PND while driving. Only look at
the PND map when it is safe to do so. When mounting the PND in your car make sure
that it does not obscure your view or impede the operation of any driving controls.
Prohibited Areas

NAVIGATION
1 Introduction
You have chosen a cutting-edge navigation system. Congratulations! Please enjoy using
it. This navigation system leads you straight to your destination, whether you are travelling
by car or on foot. You can navigate and plan your route with an easy-to-use and intuitive
interface, just by using your finger. You can also use this application to plan your trip to
suit your personal preferences and interests and to save interesting destinations before
you set off on your journey.
This manual leads you through the main features of the system.
1.1 GPS connection
Your navigation device uses GPS technology for navigation. The device receives signals
from a number of GPS satellites in order to determine your current position.
• Place your navigation device in a location with an unobstructed view to the sky to set up
your first satellite connection. In the car this will usually mean mounting the unit on the
lower part of the windscreen.
Note; It may take up to 10 minutes to establish the first connection. Subsequent
connections will be faster (30 seconds to 1 minute), but if you have not used the unit for
several days or are far away from the last location where you used the unit, it may take up
to 10 minutes again to find a strong signal.

5 Navigation
There are two modes of navigation; Free navigation and Route Navigation.
5.1 Free navigation
In free navigation the unit does not have a planned route for you to follow, so simply plots
your GPS position on the map and then follows your movement as you drive. The unit
shows you the current time and date, as well as your current position in latitude and
longitude co-ordinates.
5.2 Route Navigation
In route navigation the unit directs you via the map and with spoken directions to your
chosen destination. In order to plan a route you need to have a valid GPS signal, this can
be easily checked by looking at the GPS reception screen on the free navigation screen. If
the icon is greyed out then there is no valid signal, if the icon is white with green signal
waves then you have a valid GPS signal and navigation is possible.
From the Free Navi Menu screen select Go to, this allows you to enter your destination.
