1 Warnings and safety information
The navigation s ystem helps you find your way to yo ur destinatio n with the built-in G PS receiver. N X405
does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.
NX405 collects usage inf ormation and GPS logs that may be used for improving the applicati on and the
quality of maps if you accept it when first us ing the applicatio n. The data are pr ocess ed anonymousl y; no
one is able to track any personal i nf orm at ion. If you change your mind later, you can ena ble or dis ab le the
log collection in Settings (page 83).
It is important to look at th e display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we
recommend that you plan and review your r oute before you start your j ourney. Plan the rout e before your
departure and stop if you need to change the route.
You must follow the tr affic rules. If you deviate from the planne d route, NX405 chang es the instructions
accordingly.
For more information, see the end-user license agreement (page 89).

3 Using the navigation
By default, NX405 calculates routes using the road network of the maps provided with the product.
You can select the destination and start navigating to it right away (normal navigation) if you need a route
for immediate navigation.
You can also plan a rou te independently of your current GPS position even without GPS r eception. To
achieve this, you need to set a new starting point in the Multipoint Route menu. It also suspends guidance
so that the route is not recalculated when a new position is received. See Page 54.
You can plan routes with multiple destinations b y selecting a f irst and a second des tination and adding it
to your route. You can add as many destinations to yo ur route as you lik e. See Page 51.
You can also use NX405 for off-road navigation. See page 64.
