PREFACE
Warning
This manual uses the term Warning to indicate a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could
result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury.
The BMW Motorrad Navigator III must only be secured to BMW
motorcycles with holders approved by BMW Motorrad.
For use in or on other vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/
operator of the BMW Motorrad Navigator III to place and secure the BMW
Motorrad Navigator III so that it does not interfere with vehicle operating
controls or obstruct the driver’s view of the road (see diagram). The
mounting hardware provided by BMW Motorrad is not warranted against
collision damage or the consequences thereof.
Do not mount where
driver’s field of vision
is blocked.
Do not mount in front of an airbag field of deployment.
Tighten the security screw on the top of the motorcycle mount before driving
with the BMW Motorcycle Navigator III. Failure to tighten the screw could
result in the unit falling out of the mount, which could cause bodily injury or
property damage in addition to damage to the unit.
It is the sole responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to operate the vehicle
iv Navigator III Owner’s Manual
Do not place

vehicle dash.
in a safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all
times, and not become distracted by the BMW Motorrad Navigator III to the
exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the
BMW Motorrad Navigator III while you are riding or driving. Failure by the
driver of a vehicle equipped with a BMW Motorrad Navigator III to pay full
attention to operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the vehicle is
in motion could result in an accident or collision with property damage and
personal injury.
Using the BMW Motorrad Navigator III in no way relieves the driver of his
own responsibilities. The currently valid traffic regulations must always be
observed. Also be aware of the current traffic situation at all times. It is more
important to observe the road traffic than look at the display. If the current
traffic situation and the information of the BMW Motorrad Navigator III
are conflicting, the currently valid traffic regulations and the current traffic
situation always have priority over the information given by the BMW
Motorrad Navigator III.
For road safety reasons, enter details in the Navigator III before starting the
journey or with the motorcycle stationary. Only look at the display if the
traffic situation allows it; it is more important to observe the traffic and keep
the hands on the handlebars. Otherwise, stop at a suitable location and look at
the display with the motorcycle stationary.

PREFACE
Attention
This manual uses the term Attention for special notes and cautionary measures to prevent damage from occurring. Non-compliance can lead to invalidation of warranty.
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations may
result in injury or property damage.
When searching for medical emergency services (hospital or similar), do not
rely on the navigation system: it cannot be guaranteed that the information
will take you to the nearest emergency service. In this case, use local
information sources.
Unfortunately, due to constantly changing traffic routes, 100% accuracy
cannot be guaranteed under all conditions. It cannot be guaranteed that all
suggested routes are passable at all times. For example, roads closed due to
weather or work sites cannot be taken into account.
The electronic chart is an aid to navigation and is designed to facilitate
the use of authorized government charts, not replace them. Only official
government charts and notices to mariners contain all information needed for
safe navigation, and, as always, the user is responsible for their prudent use.
It is the user’s responsibility to use this product prudently. This product is
intended to be used only as a travel aid and must not be used for any purpose
requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location or topography.
This product should not be used to determine ground proximity for aircraft
navigation.
MAP DATA INFORMATION:
reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the
consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some extent. In some countries, complete and accurate map information is either not
available or is prohibitively expensive.
Navigator III Owner’s Manual v
One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the
United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance.
The system is subject to changes that could affect the accuracy and
performance of all GPS equipment. Although the BMW Motorrad Navigator
III is a precision NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any navaid can be misused or
misinterpreted, and therefore become unsafe.
Use the BMW Motorrad Navigator III at your own risk. To reduce the risk
of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of this
Owner’s Manual and thoroughly practice safe operation using the simulator
mode prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications
from the BMW Motorrad Navigator III to all available navigation sources,
including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc.
For safety, resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
Set the volume of the BMW Motorrad Navigator III to a level that allows
you to hear traffic noise (e.g. police and ambulance sirens).
Never attempt to open the BMW Motorrad Navigator III. In the event of
problems with the unit, please contact your BMW Motorrad dealer.

PREFACE
Caring for Your Navigator III
The Navigator III is constructed of high-quality materials and does
not require user maintenance other than cleaning.
Cleaning the Unit
Clean the unit’s outer casing using a cloth dampened with a mild
detergent solution. Wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents
that can damage plastic components.
Caring for the Touch Screen
The touch screen is intended to be operated with a finger. Never use
a hard or sharp object to operate the touch screen because damage
can result. Though a PDA stylus can also be used to operate the
touch screen, never attempt this while operating a vehicle.
Clean the touch screen using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Use
water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner if needed. Apply the
liquid to the cloth and then gently wipe the touch screen.
Protecting Your Navigator III
• Do not store the unit where prolonged exposure to extreme
• Do not store alkaline batteries in the

sight when you leave your vehicle. Remove the automotive
mount from visible sight. Do not keep your unit in the glove
compartment; thieves know where to look. Register your
product at http://www.garmin.com/registration; this may
help in the event your unit is stolen.

FCC Compliance
The unit complies with Part 15 of the FCC interference limits for Class B
digital devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. These limits are designed

device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The unit does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only
be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs
or modifications could result in permanent damage to the equipment, and
void your warranty and your authority to operated this device under Part 15
regulations.
