Quick Start Guide
• Step 1 : Prepare the GPS Mount
Select a suitable location to mount your GPS unit. Clean and dry the suction
cup and the selected area of your windshield.
Fit the bracket onto the windshield mount, making sure that it locks into place.
Hold the windshield mount at against the windshield (or onto the dashboard disc),
and push the lever back to secure the mount.
• Step 2 : Turn the GPS On
Plug the power cable into the GPS, and the other end into your vehicle’s power outlet.
Activate the unit using the On/O power switch on the back.
Place the GPS onto the mount by tting the bottom of the GPS onto the bracket,
then gently pushing the top of the GPS back until it snaps into the bracket.
Adjust the mount until you have a comfortable viewing angle.
• Step 3 : Set Regional Settings
When your GPS starts for the rst time, you will be presented with the Regional Settings screen.
From here, you should choose your preferences – Language, Time Format, Units, and Time Zone.
Press the check mark when complete to go to the Navigation Menu.
• Step 4 : Acquire Satellite Signal
Before the GPS can nd your current location and navigate a route, it must nd a signal. Be sure
that your GPS is mounted in a place that is visible to the sky, and that you are not parked indoors
or in any location where the sky is obscured. On the map screen, the satellite signal is indicated
on the top right, by the signal bars. When you have at least 1 green signal bar, the GPS has
acquired a su cient signal to navigate.
Note : The rst time you use your GPS in a new location, it can take several minutes to acquire a
signal. To speed up signal acquisition, be sure to use the Sleep / Resume button on the
top of the GPS rather than the On/O switch on the back.
• Step 5 : Select your Destination
From the Navigation Menu, choose “Enter a new Destination,” “Points of Interest,” or Favorites.
Follow the prompts to select the exact address or location for your selection.
• Step 6 : Drive!
The GPS will give you audio prompts and turn-by-turn navigation. It will automatically reroute
if you go o -course, so there’s no need to touch the screen again once your course is set.

Troubleshooting
Problem :
The GPS does not turn on.
Solution :
Turn the On/O switch to the O position. Make sure that your GPS is fully charged or
currently plugged into an approved car charger or A/C charger. When the GPS is fully charged,
the LED will turn green. Turn your GPS on by pushing the On/O switch to the On position.
Problem :
The GPS does not get a signal.
Solution :
Your GPS needs a clear view of the sky in order to get a signal. You may need to move to an
area with an unobstructed view of the sky.
The rst time you use your GPS in a new area, it may take up to 5 minutes to acquire a satellite
signal. To speed up satellite acquisition, use the Sleep/Resume button on top of the GPS
whenever your GPS is not in use. Use the On/O switch when traveling, or when your GPS
will not be used for a long period of time.
Problem :
Goodyear Navigator cannot nd my address.
Solution :
Goodyear Navigator uses the latest maps from NAVTEQ, a leading provider of digital maps.
If your address is not found, it is likely that the address is listed in a di erent way.
Try the following steps :
• Is there a di erent name for the city/town?
• Is there an alternate way to write the street? For example, “Route 17” might be listed
as “State Route 17.”
• Visit an online map site, such as Mapquest or Google Maps. Enter the address and see
if it is listed as you typed, or if there is an alternate way to enter the address.
• If you are in a new area that is not yet covered by our maps, please let us know! We will
add the address to our database for future upgrades.
