TURBODOG navigation system
Quick reference
This chapter gives you a brief introduction how to navigate using
TURBODOG while you drive. Before we explore all detailed
functionalities provided by this application, you have to make
sure that:
• Your TURBODOG is firmly mounted on your car.
• TURBODOG searches for positioning information from
three satellites and your position is oriented when the
application starts.
Cold start & Warm start
When you use GPS receiver for the first time, it may take up 215 minutes to secure satellite information and orientate accurate
position (Cold start). Your position fix is stored in the memory.
For subsequent use of GPS receiver, it only takes up 1-3 minutes to locate your position (Warm start). Once your position is
fixed by GPS receiver, the system starts navigation immediately
without any extra operation when you start the appliation.

Auto-routing
With consideration of driving safety, Turbodog provides autorouting function. This feature executes under two circumstances:
Auto starting navigation: after setting up destination, click on
icon in “Managing navigation“ page, Turbodog will auto-
matically start navigation. Below we describe the procedure:
69
Page 70
Navigation
1. Proceed to the next step if GPS receiver has received
signals from all of three GPS satellites and finished
position orientation. Otherwise, keep waiting for GPS
signals;
2. Set current GPS position as start point and the destination you have set as the destination of the journey, use
“Uptimal route“ as default parameter of route calculation and start navigation after routing.
Auto re-routing: if you have accidentally missed a proposed
turning point about 100 meters, Turbodog will activate re-routing
module to calculate a new route. It takes about 10 seconds to recalculate a new route depending on the distance between your
current position to destination. The far, the longer time needed to
re-calculate. This guaranties you will never lost.
70
Page 71
Entire route view
This feature enables you to view entire route after route calculation in the course of navigation.
Route description: each description contains 4 elements
including street name you are on, driving distance, turn method
and street name you are entering. For example: drive along
“Ang Mo Kio Avenue“ for 257.5 meters and make a right turn to
“Marymount Road“.
There are two methods to view entire route:
Navigation
• After routing, click on button as shown in picture
6.12 to enter “Entire route view“ as shown in picture

show on the map. When there is an emergency on the route calculated, the system will prompts to recalculate a detour to avoid
the traffice jam.
TMC turn on/off
After Turbodog started, the system will automatically connect to
RDS-TMC device to receive TMC message. To turn off TMC
message, please follow the instructions below:

iv. Diversion range of performing an auto-rerouting
:
78
When you divert from your track and the
diversion exceeds the range you defined, Tibo will
re-compute a route according to your current location and the destination. The larger range, the longer
time is needed to perform a re-routing. However, you
may encounter a more severe interference from
GPS positioning signal with a smaller diversion
range. The default value is 100m.

v. Simulated speed
:
This allows you to set a driving speed during a simu-
lated trip. The ranges of simulated speed are 36KM/
Hr, 72KM/Hr, 108KM/Hr, 144KM/Hr and 180KM/Hr,
etc.
vi. GPS lock :
When your car is stopped or you drive the car very
slowly, the cursor of GPS signal will folat on the
screen. With this function, you can stop having
“moving“ or “floating“ map when you drive at a speed
which is slower than a pre-set value. The default
value is 10KM/Hr.
vii. Deviation distance range :
When your car drive on the road, the GPS position-
ing signal and your car will be deviations, you can
choose the deviation distance range. The default
value is 50m. The ordinary users don’t need to
change it.

Attention
* It is not a system failure under circumstances listed
below:
Problems caused by the characteristics of GPS positioning:
• Sometimes, when you are driving on the highway/via-
duct, the floating point swings, vice versa.
• When you are driving along a Y shaped road, the float-
ing point may brach to the side road.
• When you are driving on a road of grid shaped, some-
times you will find that the floating point is at the side
road bearby.
• When you are driving on a very steep road.
• When you are driving on spiral road, you will find that the
floating point swings, It is nothing to do with the radius of
the road and the driving speed of your vehicle. It is due
to the real road condition may differ from the informaion
of electronic map.
86
• When you make a right/left turn to enter a road, which
has parallel roads nearby (the distance between them is
less than 50m) in parallel, from the road you have been
driving for a long time, you will find that the floating point
may go to another road.
• When you are driving on a wide road in a snaky line, you
will find that the floating point may swing due to the mismatch of real distance.
Page 87
• Before returning to a ground road after you have been
driving in an underground car park or a spiral path of the
multi-level car park, you will find that the floating point
may swing. When your car is in a rotary elevator, the
arrow of the floating point may not point to the right
direction.
• Providing voice prompt at a branching path ahead even
the car is already off the proposed route.
• Guiding distance may deviate.
When any of those situations occurs, the GPS satellite will automatically adjust the current position fix if you keep driving.
Problems caused by map files:
• When you return from a road which is newly constructed
to a road recorded in map file, you may find floating point
swings due to the map file may not reflect the real road
conditions. After you keep driving for while, the system
will adjust it to the right position using GPS signal information.
Appendix
• No through-way due to road closure or pedestrian path.
• Open of a new road and closure of old road.
• Guide to a no-through way.
• Route re-computed again without changing the proposed route.
• Guide to a normal road instead of a viaduct, or vice
versa.
87
Page 88
Appendix
• If there is only small lanes without a normal road near
destination, the system will only guide you to a place
near to your destination.
• Instruct you to make a U-turn,
• No indication at a branching road.
• Turning instruction mismatch the real road condition.
• No indication of direction or voice prompt about
entrance/exit while guiding on highway/express way.
• Schematic map may mismatch real road conditions.
* Places having difficulties to receive GPS signals
• In the tunnels;
• Between high buildings;
• Under viaducts;
• In trees/forests;
When using external GPS antenna, we recommed to place it on
the roof of the car. If there is rack on the roof of car, please make
sure to separate the rack and the antenna.
GPS is managed by the department of defense of USA. It may
purposely reduce the accuracy of the GPS signals so that the
car may swing.
* Use Notice
• The floating point may swing before GPS signal is
received when turning on power.
88
Page 89
• The floating point may swing when you use the system
at the first time after installation.
• The floating point may swing when you are changing the
tyre, specially using a spare tyre.
• The system will automatically adjust its position and
direction using GPS signals when the floating point mismatches real condition.
