Safety Information and Precautions

WARNING! Please read and follow the following safety precautions.

Failure to follow the instructions below may increase

your risk of collision and personal injury.

The Rosen Navigation software is not a substitute for your personal judgment. The route suggestions should never supersede

any local trafc regulation or your personal judgment and /or knowledge of safe driving practices. Prior to completing any maneuvers suggested by your Rosen Navigation software (for example, a U-turn or a left turn), verify that you can legally and safely complete the maneuver. Do not follow route suggestions if they direct you to perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver, would place you in an unsafe situation, or would route you into an area that you consider unsafe.

Do not use the Rosen Navigation software to locate emergency services (such as police, re stations, hospitals, and clinics). The database may not include all emergency service providers. Use your own best judgment and ask for directions in these situations.

If the vehicle is in motion, only a passenger should program the Rosen Navigation software. The driver should not program the system unless the vehicle is parked in a safe location.

The Rosen Navigation software’s map database provides information on suggested routes without regard to factors that may affect your driving experience or the time required to arrive at your destination. For example, the system does not reect road detours, closures or construction, some road characteristics (e.g., road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.),

temporary trafc congestion, weather conditions, and similar factors.

Vehicle Position

The Rosen Navigation software’s computer considers vehicle speed and heading changes, together with longitude and latitude information, to accurately determine vehicle heading and position on a digital map.

Map and Information Database

The map database used by your Rosen Navigation software was created using high-resolution aerial and land based data collection.

Errors or missing information in the map data are not covered by the Product Warranty. New and/or updates for the map data are the responsibility of the End-user.
