GPS (Global Positioning System)
GPS is a satellite-based system for determining a position anywhere on the earth where the satellite signals can be received , it is accurate to around 5 metres depending on the number of satellites being used to fix a given position. With the help of 24 satellites in low level orbit around the earth, it is possible to determine a position on earth with the accuracy of a few metres. The satellite signals are received by the antenna fitted to the GNAV10, which must have a “line of sight” to at least 4 of these.
• Note: By limited line of sight (e.g. in tunnels, between houses, in woods or
also in vehicles with metal-coated windows) it is not possible to determine the position. The satellite reception however automatically picks up again as
soon as the obstacle has been passed and the line of sight is re-established. The GPS receiver consumes additional power. This is especially of concern, when running on the internal battery. To conserve power do not turn on the GPS receiver unnecessarily. However, you can also switch the device off by means of the ON/OFF switch in the case of a shorter interruption to your journey. Pressing the same switch again will activate a restart. The GPS receiver will also be reactivated at the same time, if navigation software is still active. Upon reconnection it will take a short time for the position to be updated again, subject to the reception conditions.
• Note: Please note that the GNAV10 is preset not to shut down automatically
after a few minutes without activity. This can be changed in the settings menu.
If the GPS receiver has not been active for some hours, it must orientate itself
again. This process may take a while.
Memory Card Quick Installation
• The initial setting up must be carried out as described on page 16.
• The following installation limits the Navigation to the area which is pre-installed on the supplied memory card.

2. Install the remaining components of the navigation system.
3. Press and hold the ON/OFF button to start the navigation system. If the instructions of Step1 have not yet been executed, then do it now. The battery should be charged. By means of the car power supply if necessary.
• Insert the pre-loaded memory card in the navigation system. The installation of the navigation.
software will start automatically. Follow the instructions on the screen.
NOTES:
• The memory card must always be inserted into the device during the use of the navigation system. A Soft Reset will have to be carried out to restart the navigation system, if the memory card is removed during its use, even for a short time.
• The software installation will have to be carried out again following a Hard
Reset. Set the date and time by means of the Settings button and the date/time control button, if this has not be done. set the time Zone if required.

AUTO & FAVORITES ALERTS
1. Introduction
An Automatic Alert refers to an item that can be identified such that GNAV10 can alert the user when the unit is within a certain distance of the item’s location. Two distances can be configured for each Automatic Alert. Destinator will first warn when approaching the first distance and a warn again when approaching the second distance. Automatic Alerts must be stored in either one of three predefined categories - Auto Alerts 1, Auto Alerts 2, or Favorites Alerts.
2. Configuring Auto Alerts Category
Note that this configuration is applied to all items in the category.
1. From the Destination dialog, select Favorites.
2. Highlight the Auto Alerts folder to configure and select setting… from the Tools menu.
3. To enable both alerts, check both boxes. Or, disable one of the alerts by clearing
the box next to it. If two alerts,are configured the first must have a greater distance than the second.
4. From the pull-down menus, select a distance for each enabled alert. GNAV10 will
warn when the distance between the current position and the location of the alert equals the distance selected.
5. Close the Edit menu.
6. To display the map position of items in the Auto Alerts category, check the box to
the left of the category name, as you would to display map positions of items in any other category.
7. Select Save to complete the configuration.
3. Configuring Auto Alerts Items
It is possible to change the name, comment, and category of any item in Auto Alerts 1 or Auto Alerts 2. Note that if the category name of an item is changed to anything other than Auto Alerts 1 or Auto Alerts 2, it will no longer function as an auto alert. Only those items in categories Auto Alerts 1 and Auto Alerts 2 will function as automatic alerts.
1. From the Destination dialog, select Favorites to display all the categories.
2.Highlight a category and then select Items from the upper menu bar. All items in the
category are displayed.
3.Highlight the alert you want to edit and select Edit from the tools menu.
4.It is possible to change the name, comment, and category of an item. any other
information cannot be changed. Note that if the category, is changed the item will be moved out of the current category. Only those items found in either Auto Alerts 1 or Auto Alerts 2 will function as auto alerts.
5.Close the edit window.
4. Favorites Alerts
From the Favorites folder, It is possible to add a new Category called Favorites Alerts. These alerts function the same way as Auto Alerts, but can be used specifically for items from your list of Favorites, such as a favorite restaurants and places of interest.

IMPORTING FAVOURITES
1. Introduction
GNAV10 also allows the download of a list of locations from the PC to any category within Favorites on the GNAV10. Creating information about locations in this way is much faster than entering the information via the GNAV10 keyboard. A practical application of this time-saving feature could include a commercial vendor who would create a list of all retail outlet locations in a specific area. GNAV10 users could then download the list quickly to their unit.
To download a list of locations from the PC to the GNAV10 to any category within Favorites, including Auto Alerts. The list must be contained in *.csv files. As part of the download procedure, it is necessary to convert the *.csv files to *.dat format for storage on the unit by using Destinator console software. A good source of this information is www.poihandler.com, with a lot of information available free.
2. Downloading Favorites
1. Be sure the GNAV10 is connected to your PC.
2. Launch the Destinator Console from the start menu of the PC.
Start > Programs > DestinatorApps > Destinator Console
3. On the Destinator Console, click on a Standard Map. This will enable the Installing
Map and Favorites Importer features.
4. Click the Favorites Importer button. The converter dialog is displayed.
5. Select the file (*.csv format) containing the automatic alert.
About the *.csv file: Appendix A describes csv format. Basically, the *csv file contains addresses and longitude and latitude values for locations. The file must contain exact street address, Postal Code, and city data. However, the longitude and latitude values can be omitted because the Destinator software will query the map selected in Step 3 above for any missing longitude and latitude. If the *.csv file does not contain longitudes and latitudes, the separating commas must still be included, as Appendix A shows.
6. Convert the .csv file to .dat format by highlighting the file, entering a Category Name,
and selecting the Convert button. The Report area of the screen will display a message stating that the content of the file has been converted and that the file is ready for download.
7. Download the file to the GNAV10 by selecting the Download button.
