2.1 The basic principle of navigation
Mobile Map The time of complicated and frustrating inquiries on th e right way
in folded maps is over. From now on Mobile Map, your
navigation system, will guide you, based on satellite info rmation,
quickly and safely to your destination.
GPS-based
navigation
The Global Positioning System (GPS) has originally been
developed in the 70ies, as a weapon guidance system for the
American forces.
The GPS is based on 24 satellites, which are in orbit round the
earth and which are permanently emitting signals. The GPS
receiver receives these signals and calculates, based on the
runtime of the signals, his distance from the respective satellites.
This information serves for calculation your current geographic
position.
The signals of at least three satellites are needed to determine
the longitude and the latitude. With the signals of at least four
satellites the elevation may be calculated, too. The determination
has an accuracy of about 3 yards.
Navigation with GPS The delivered maps contain the geographic coordinates of the
points of interest, streets and towns they represent. Thus the
navigation system can calculate a route from a given start point
to a given destination point.
In case your navigation system receives the signals of at least
three satellites it may determine your current position and
represent it on the map. This position may then serve as start
point for navigation purposes.
As the determination and representation of your position is
carried out once a second, you may watch your movements on
the map.

2.2 Important safety information
Note In your own interest, read the following notices and safety
information carefully before starting up your navigation system.
2.2.1 Safety information on navigation
Use of Mobile Map is executed at your own risk.
Caution: To protect yourself and others from accidents please do
not operate the navigation system while driving!
Caution: You must not look at the display except when it is
absolutely safe to do so!
Caution: The road layout and the traffic signs are absolutely
prior to the instructions of the navigation system.
Caution: You must not follow the instructions of Mobile Map
except when the circumstances and the road traffic regulations
allow doing so. Mobile Map will guide you to your destination
even when you have left your planned itinerary.
Note: We recommend effecting route planning before beginning
the journey. If you are on the road and you want to establish a
new itinerary, please drive to the next parking site!
Note: If you have not understood the instructions or if you are
not sure about what to do next you may quickly refer to the map
or arrow view of your navigation system.
2.2.2 Safety information on handling the PNA
Caution: As it is not waterproof, do not expose your navigation
device to water! For example, protect it from rain, snow or hail
when you are on your way by bike or on foot.
Caution: Disconnect the navigation device from the power
supply when you are leaving the car parked for a long period of
time. Failure to do so might result in a dead battery since the
internal GPS receiver constantly consumes electricity.
Note: Do not use any harsh solvents for cleaning the PNA. A
damp, lint-free cloth is sufficient!

Note: Do not unplug by pulling the cable. This might damage the
cable!
2.2.3 Safety information on the installation in the vehicle
Caution: Do not fix the holder within the deployment zone of
airbags.
Caution: When you install the holder, please check that it may
not constitute any safety risk, even in case of an accident.

These buttons are designed to execute a functionality, which
is indicated by their caption. They are normally buttons like
Save, OK, Cancel, Select map, One destination etc.
2. Buttons to select one of two possibilities.
These buttons are designed to select one of two possibilities.
Normally, the current state is indicated by the caption of the
button. They are normally button s like User mode, Yes-No,

Survey Mobile Map can be operated in two different user modes:
Standard and Extended. This grants an optimum of usability for
each user: Less experienced users and users who do not need
using the complete functionality of the software work in standard
mode. Experienced users who are ready to spend some time in
getting used to operate the complete functionality word in
extended mode.
Some configuration settings have an effect on the work in
standard mode but can only be changed in extended mode. For

4.3 Standard mode
Survey In standard mode, the software is easier to operate. As it offers
reduced functionality, functions may be accessed quicker. So, if
you do not need functions like Route planning or indicating a
destination on the map, we recommend working in standard
mode.
Functionality In standard mode, you can:
Ù Select another map
Ù Enter a destination to navigate to (Address, POI)
Ù Navigate home
Ù Select a saved destination
Ù Save destinations
Ù Select a destination from the recent destin ations list
Ù Change some configuration settings
4.4 Extended mode
Survey In extended mode, you dispose of the complete functionality of
Mobile Map. You may for example indicate and navigate to more
than one destination (route planning with stages). You may
change all configuration settings. If you want to use the complete
functionality, work in extended mode.
Functionality In addition to the functions of the standard mode, the extended
mode enables you to:
Ù Indicate a direction directly on the map
Ù Plan and save routes with several stages
Ù Adjust the route options before each navigation
Ù Change all configuration settings
