INTRODUCTION > CARING FOR YOUR NAVUS

Caring for Your Navus

The Navus is constructed of high quality materials and does not
require user maintenance other than cleaning.

Cleaning the Touchscreen

The Navus touchscreen is intended primarily for finger operation.
Although a PDA stylus may also be used to operate the touchscreen,
never attempt this while operating a vehicle. Never use a hard or
sharp object to operate the touchscreen or damage may result. Use a
clean, dry lens cloth to remove dust from the touchscreen. Carefully
wipe the display to prevent scratches. Water, isopropyl alcohol, or
eyeglass cleaner can be used if needed. If they are used, apply the
liquid to the cloth and then gently wipe the touchscreen with the
moistened cloth.

iv

Cleaning the Casing

The outer casing of your Navus is constructed of high quality
materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning.
Clean the outer casing using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent
solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that
may damage plastic components.

INTRODUCTION > SAFETY GUIDELINES

Safety Guidelines

Ensure that all persons read this manual carefully before using the
navigation system. It contains instructions on how to use the system
in a safe and effective manner.

WARNING: Please read and obey the following safety

precautions. Failure to do so may result in an accident
involving injury or property damage.

• Consider practicing the unit’s operation by using the “simulator
mode” prior to actual use. See page 8 for instructions.

• When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the Navus
to all available navigation sources, including the information from
other street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always
resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.

• Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions
that require prolonged use of the unit’s controls or remote control
while you are driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner and
location before you attempt such operations.

1

• Do not use the navigation system to route you to emergency
services such as police and fire stations or hospitals and clinics.
Not all emergency service locations are contained in the database.
Please use your judgment and ask for directions in such situations.

• When driving, minimize the amount of time you spend viewing
the screen. Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to
do so. If prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, pull over at
a safe location.

• Road conditions and regulations take precedence over information
contained on the map display. Observe actual traffic restrictions
and circumstances while driving.

• Situations may occur where the navigation system erroneously
displays the vehicle’s location. Use your own driving judgment
in this situation, taking into account current driving conditions.
Please be aware that in this situation, the navigation system
should automatically correct the vehicle’s position within a few
minutes.

INTRODUCTION > SAFETY GUIDELINES

• Stop use immediately if a problem occurs. Failure to do so
may cause injury or damage to the product. Return it to your
authorized DaimlerChrysler dealer for service.

• Make certain the volume level of the monitor is set to a level that
still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles.

• The map database is designed to provide you with route
suggestions and does not take into account the relative safety of
a suggested route or factors that may affect the time required to
reach your destination. The system does not reflect road closures
or construction, road characteristics (such as type of road surface,
slope or grade, weight or height restrictions), traffic congestion,
weather conditions, or any other factors that may affect the safety
or timing of your driving experience. Use your own personal
judgment if the navigation system is unable to provide you with
an alternate route.

• The map database supplied with the product contains the most

inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree. Because the map
data may not be perfect, consider verifying the unit’s map with
your actual surroundings to confirm that you are arriving at the
exact destination.

• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United
States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy
and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could
affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. The
Navus is a precision navigation system; any navigation system
can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

• This product is intended to be used only as a navigational aid and
must not be used for any purpose requiring precise measurement
of direction, distance, location, or topography.

If you have any questions about the operation of the navigation
system, please contact a local DaimlerChrysler dealer or call 1-800­800-1020.

NAVUS OPERATION > LEARNING HOW TO USE THE MAP PAGE

Learning How to Use the Map Page

The Map page is one of your Navus’s main operating pages. This is
the first page to appear after the startup pages, and it provides street
detail as you navigate to a destination. The Map page contains many
features, and most are available whether you are navigating a route
or simply driving with your Navus turned on. Practice using these
features before navigating an actual route so that you can quickly
understand what you are seeing on the Map page and reduce the time
spent looking away from the road while driving.

The images to the left
show the sequence of
messages that appear
on the data tabs as the
Navus locates satellites.
The Navus might take
a little longer to locate
satellites when you turn
it on for the first time.

Viewing the Map Page for the First Time

When you turn on your Navus, you see a map image and a tab that
shows the Navus is attempting to locate satellites. Once your Navus
locates the satellites, it establishes a “fix” on your location, and you
are ready to navigate.

Driving and Routing Modes

While driving, the map will appear in one of two modes. “Driving”
mode appears when you have the Navus turned on but you are not
navigating a route. “Routing” mode appears when you are currently
navigating.

In routing mode, the map displays map details, your current
location, your route is marked a blue-colored route line, and driving
directions. Customizable data tabs are pre-set to display information
such as your speed, distance to the next turn, and the time remaining
before reaching the next turn.

In driving mode, the map shows map details, the map scale, and
your current location. Customizable data tabs are pre-set to show
your speed, current direction of travel, address of your current
position, and the name of the next road ahead.

Both modes display a position icon that indicates your present
position and direction of movement. Depending upon your map scale

Changing the Map View While Driving

To see more detail at your current
driving position or to see a broader
view of the area, you can change the
map scale to zoom in or out on your
current position. Simply touch the
map scale.

The map toolbar appears. Use the
zoom icons (+ or - magnifying
glasses) to select your new detail
level. To close the map toolbar,
simply touch the white arrow. You
can use this feature in driving mode
and routing mode.

17

Looking Ahead on the Map Page

In the example at left, your current driving position always appears
on the map. You can also “look ahead” on the map to view areas
beyond your current position without interrupting the function of the
Map page. Touch any area on the map and drag your finger to “look
ahead” to a different area on the map.

Notice that the map pointer also appears on the map, and the map
itself stays stationary until you move (pan) the map. The position
icon continues to move along your route. To center the map on the
position icon, touch the arrow in the top left corner.

NAVUS OPERATION > NEXT TURN PAGE

Next Turn Page

As you are driving during an active route, the Map page continues to
display in routing mode until your Navus alerts you that you are near
a turn. When this happens, a Next Turn page appears. It provides a
graphic visual and gives text instructions.

An added bonus to the Navus is that the “voice” announces
upcoming turns. If you cannot safely view the screen, you can hear
the directions. The Navus announces the same instructions for an
upcoming turn three times:

18

• Immediately after you make a turn, the Navus announces the next

upcoming turn, as well as the distance to that turn.

• As you are close to approaching the upcoming turn, the Next Turn

page appears. The message is announced to alert you in case you
need to change lanes and start looking for signs in anticipation of
the upcoming turn.

• Just before the upcoming turn, the Next Turn page appears again

for that particular turn. You should be in view of the turn. The
message is announced on last time.

The Next Turn page disappears after a few seconds and then the page
that you were previously viewing reappears. If you wish to clear the
Next Turn page and return to the previous page, press PAGE. If you
wish to see the Next Turn page again, simply press SPEAK and it
reappears along with the voice announcement.

Route Preference Window

Each time you create a route, the Navus asks you your route
preference using the Route Preference window.

Faster Time: Choose this option if
you want the Navus to use time as
the criteria to calculate the route. The
driving time will be shorter but the
distance might be longer.

Shorter Distance: Choose this option if you want your Navus to use
distance as the criteria for calculating your route. The distance might
be shorter but the route may take more time to navigate.

Off Road: Choose this option to view a direct-line route to your
destination. This option does not provide a turn-by-turn route. It
merely displays a straight line from your end point to your start
point; the voice guidance tells you the direction and distance to your
destination. Use this option if you are travelling on obscure roads or
off-road.

24

Other Ways to Find Places

When you are in driving mode, the Navus finds places that are near
your current physical location (Near Here). Here are other options:

Near Current Route: Lists places
along your entire route. This option
is available when you search for a
place during an active route. Near
Current Route finds and lists places
that are within a 1/2 mile search area
of any point on your route.

If your search does not reveal very many places because you are in
a sparsely-populated area, consider widening the search area along
your route. From the list of places that appeared under the Near
Current Route tab, press the unit’s MENU key. From the Menu page
that appears, select Search Within. You can then elect to expand
your search up to 1, 2, 5, or 15 miles along your current route. A new
list appears.

FINDING PLACES AND ROUTING TO THEM > FINDING PLACES TO VISIT

Near [Destination]: Use Near [Destination] to find places that
are located at the end of your active route. For example, if you are
travelling to Phoenix, the Near Phoenix tab returns places that are
within the vicinity of Phoenix.

Near Map Pointer: Use Near Map Pointer to find places that are
near the area where you have placed the map pointer while panning.

By Name: Use By Name to spell out the name of the place you are
searching for with the on-screen keyboard. Note that when you use
By Name, all regions loaded in your mapping software are searched.

Near Other: Use Near Other to find a place that is not in your
immediate location. For example, if you are physically in Kansas and
you want to find a hotel in Colorado, select Near Other, and a map
of the U.S. appears. Touch an area in Colorado that is close to the
area where you wish to find a hotel, and then touch the check mark
that appears in the upper right corner of your Map page. A new list of
hotels in this area of Colorado appears.

Recalculating a Route

If you decide to temporarily part from your current route, you
can select Recalculate from the Route menu to calculate a new
route from your current location to your destination. The Navus
recalculates and updates your route.

Adding a Detour

While you are navigating a route,
you might come to a roadblock

If this happens, simply select
Detour from the Route menu. A

35

You can alter your route for either 1/2, 1, 2, 5, or 15 miles. If you are

are unusually congested with traffic, you might want to opt for a
1/2-mile detour.

Once you select a distance, your Navus calculates a new route and
provides you with new instructions. On some routes, the route you
are currently taking might be the only reasonable option. In this
case, you will not be able to take a detour. Also, your Navus makes
every possible attempt to get you back on the original route at your
requested distance; however, the distance may be longer if no other
roads exist that can get you back to the original route.

Your Navus remembers detours you set until you stop the current
navigation or until you turn off the unit.

satellites, the receiver can determine your position and display it on
the Navus’s Map page.

What is GPS?

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation
system made up of a network of 24 satellites, that were placed
into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally
intended for military applications, but the government made the
system available for civilian use in the 1980s. GPS works in any
weather condition, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are
no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.

GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit
and transmit signal information to Earth. The GPS receiver that is
located in your Navus takes this information and uses triangulation to
calculate your exact location. Essentially, the GPS receiver compares
the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was
received. The time difference tells the GPS receiver how far away
the satellite is. Now, with distance measurements from a few more

56

A GPS receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least three
satellites to calculate a 2 Dimensional position (latitude and
longitude) and track movement. With four or more satellites in view,
the receiver can determine your 3 Dimensional position (latitude,
longitude, and altitude). Once your position has been determined, the
unit can calculate other information such as speed, bearing, track, trip
distance, distance to destination, and sunrise and sunset times.

The GPS Information Page

The GPS Information page provides a visual reference of GPS
receiver functions, including current satellite coverage, receiver
status, and position accuracy. To access this page, press the Navus

Once a fix has been calculated, the Navus updates your position,

Satellite Status

As soon as the GPS receiver in your Navus has collected the
necessary data to calculate a fix, the status field indicates a 2D or 3D
status. Satellite Status is indicated at the top left corner of the page.
The status is shown as one of the following conditions:

Searching Sky: The GPS receiver is looking for any available
satellites in view.

AutoLocate: The GPS receiver is initializing and collecting new
almanac data. This process can take up to five minutes, depending on
the satellites currently in view.

Acquiring Sats: The GPS receiver is collecting data from available
satellites but has not collected enough data to calculate a position fix.

2D Navigation: At least three satellites have been acquired with good
geometry have been locked onto; a two-dimensional position fix is
being calculated. (Reads 2D Diff Nav if WAAS-enabled)

3D Navigation: At least four satellites with good geometry have been

58

locked onto; a three-dimensional position fix is being calculated.
(Reads 3D Diff Nav if WAAS-enabled)

Lost Reception: The GPS receiver has temporarily lost satellite
reception.

Poor GPS Coverage: The GPS receiver is not tracking enough
satellites for a 2D or 3D fix due to bad satellite geometry or a shaded
antenna (such as driving between buildings).

Not Usable: The Navus is unusable, possibly due to incorrect
initialization or abnormal satellite conditions. Turn the unit off and
back on to reset and re-initialize the receiver.

GPS is Off: The Navus is being used indoors and cannot be used for
navigation.

Dead Reckoning: The Navus is not tracking enough satellites for
a 2D or 3D fix and is using Dead Reckoning. See page 60 for more
information.

APPENDIX > WHAT IS GPS?

“Poor Satellite Reception” Menu

If not enough satellites are received for several minutes, a “Poor
Satellite Reception” message appears. The message may appear
when you first use your Navus or during normal use if the antenna is
shaded or when the unit is used indoors.

You can turn off the GPS for using the unit indoors for practice,
update your approximate location (quicker), or have the unit
automatically search for the satellites (takes longer). Updating your
approximate location ensures that the Navus is searching for the
correct satellites and is useful if you have traveled over 500 miles
with the unit turned off.

health of each GPS satellite.

View the GPS Information page to see which GPS satellites are
receiving position corrections from the WAAS satellites. A “D”
appears on the signal strength bar for GPS satellites that have been
“Differentially corrected” by the WAAS satellites.

Note: Because WAAS information is broadcast from fixed satellites
over the equator, it is possible for obstructions commonly found
in vehicles to block the view of these satellites. When this occurs,
WAAS reception may be unavailable even though normal GPS

reception remains unaffected and fully operational.

Information: Opens the Information page, which allows you to view
GPS information (see page 56), Map information (see page 62), and

Driving with Dead Reckoning

The Navus comes with Dead Reckoning capabilities, which means
that you continue to receive accurate navigation guidance even if
you lose GPS reception, such as when you are traveling through
tunnels or in dense urban environments with tall buildings. With
Dead Reckoning, navigation guidance is provided by your vehicle’s
electronic sensors. Driving with Dead Reckoning is so seamless, you
will not even know that you do not have GPS reception.
