WARNING! Please read and follow the following safety precautions.
Failure to follow the instructions below may increase your risk of collision and
personal injury.
The Attention - Please Drive Safely! Screen is displayed each time the iGO primo
software is turned ON as a reminder to make use of the system’s navigational aids
in a safe manner.
Before using the software, read this entire manual. Make sure that you are familiar
with the system’s features and know how to operate the system. Proper use of the
iGO primo software includes the following guidelines:
The iGO primo software is not a substitute for your personal judgment. The route
suggestions should never supersede any local trac regulation or your personal
judgment and /or knowledge of safe driving practices. Prior to completing any
maneuvers suggested by your iGO primo software (for example, a U-turn or a left
turn), verify that you can legally and safely complete the maneuver. Do not follow
route suggestions if they direct you to perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver,
would place you in an unsafe situation, or would route you into an area that you
consider unsafe.
Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. Let the computer
voice guide you. If prolonged viewing is necessary, pull o the road to a
safe location.
Do not use the iGO primo software to locate emergency services (such as police,
re stations, hospitals, and clinics). The database may not include all emergency
service providers. Use your own best judgment and ask for directions in
these situations.
If the vehicle is in motion, only a passenger should program the iGO primo software. The driver should not program the system unless the vehicle is parked in a
safe location.
The iGO primo software’s map database provides information on suggested routes
without regard to factors that may aect your driving experience or the time required to arrive at your destination. For example, the system does not reect road
detours, closures or construction, some road characteristics (e.g., road surface,
slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), temporary trac congestion,
weather conditions, and similar factors.
iGO primo software provides turn-by-turn visual and voice assistance to direct you
to your selected destination. The software quickly calculates step-by-step
directions to any destination available on the included navigation map.
The iGO primo software uses Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, and a
digital roadway map database to calculate and display travel directions. The system’s GPS antenna receives signals from a constellation of 24 satellites orbiting the
earth and uses the strongest signals to determine your position to within meters.
Vehicle Position
The iGO primo software’s computer considers vehicle speed and heading changes,
together with longitude and latitude information, to accurately determine vehicle
heading and position on a digital map.
Signals from GPS satellites are used to determine the vehicle location. Three
(good) or four (best) satellites must be received to accurately determine location.
The GPS reception status is indicated by the GPS symbol on the map.
Map and Information Database
The map database used by your iGO primo software was created using
high-resolution aerial and land based data collection.
Car navigation maps are frequently updated. While the database was judged to
be as accurate as possible at the time of its release, a map database can never be
100% accurate. Road information that is maintained in the map databases, such as
turn restrictions or road names may change over time.
iGO primo mapping is supported by the mapping manufacturer. iGO oers
periodic updates for data such as roads, new addresses, and other navigational
information that will keep your navigation system up to date and provide the best
possible experience. For updates and add-on options, please visit their website at
www.naviextras.com. A free program called “toolbox” can be downloaded from
this site so you can create a copy of your map as a backup, as well as assist in easily
checking for updates and optional features that are available. We
recommend that you back up your map because If your map becomes damaged
or erased, or if the card is lost without being backed up, you will need to purchase
a new map package.
To report incorrect information, missing addresses, or other map data, click on
“REPORT A MAP ERROR” under the SUPPORT section of www.naviextras.com.
Errors will be veried and corrected in a future map update.
We recommend that you check your map with this system now and every six
months to insure you always have the most up-to-date operating system
and maps.
The following safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in
injury or death to yourself or others:
•The driver should operate the device only when the vehicle is stopped. Only
a vehicle passenger should operate the device while the vehicle is moving.
When driving, the need to view the display is minimal. Voice prompts will
guide you to your destinations.
•It is your responsibility to comply with all trac laws.
•The navigation software is designed to assist you in the process of reaching
your destination. It is not a substitute for attentiveness and good judgement.
•It is your responsibility to disregard any unsafe, hazardous, or illegal route
suggestions.
•The device does not include, analyze, process, consider, or reect any of the
following:
a. Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, height, width, load
and speed restrictions);
b. Road slope or grade, bridge height, width, weight, or other limits;
c. Population density;
d. Neighborhood quality or safety;
e. Availability or proximity of law enforcement, emergency rescue,
medical, or other assistance;
f. Construction work zones or hazards;
g. Road or lane closures;
h. Road, trac, or trac facilities’ safety or condition;
i. Weather conditions;
j. Pavement characteristics or conditions;
k. Special events;
l. Trac congestion.
•While every attempt is made to ensure that the database is accurate,
roadways, points of interest, and business and service locations may change
over time.
•Do not use the unit to navigate to a police station, hospital, etc. in an
emergency. Call 911 for assistance.
•Laws in some states prohibit wearing stereo headphones or may prohibit use
or placement of a navigation device while operating a motor vehicle. Please
contact your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles for information.
Follow these six easy steps and you are on your way.

The unit uses a vehicle Global Positioning System (GPS)-based navigation device
which uses digital map data to guide you from your selected location A to
location B, using location information obtained from a Global Navigation Satellite
System (GNSS).
A GNSS consists of a set of satellites that transmit high-frequency radio signals
containing time, direction, and distance data that can be picked up by a receiver,
allowing users to pinpoint their precise locations anywhere around the globe.
Navigation Satellite Receivers (GPS devices) use this transmitted information to
calculate an exact location on the Earth. Every point on Earth can be identied
by latitude and longitude. The receiver uses the information sent by at least three
satellites and determines the coordinates of the receiving device.
By comparing the time the signals were transmitted from the satellites and the
time they were recorded, the receiver calculates how far away each satellite is.
The distance of the receiver from three or more satellites reects its position
on the surface of the planet. Using these distance measurements, the receiver
might also be able to calculate speed, bearing, trip time, distance to destination,
altitude, etc. The GPS position may be displayed as a point on a digital map (at
least three satellites’ signals must be received) and as the GPS device moves the
corresponding trace is displayed as well.
Please keep in mind that although the radio signals of navigation satellites will
pass through clouds, glass, plastic, and other lightweight materials, satellitenavigation receivers will not work underground or in some enclosed spaces.
The initial GPS location lock is best established when your vehicle is parked. If
the device is in motion, the signal can take longer to initially connect. Once the
initial coordinates are established, the software will follow you as you move and
navigate.
Drive your vehicle to an open area where the GPS signal can be clearly received
and park the vehicle. If the device is in motion, the signal can take longer to
initially connect.
If you cannot acquire the signal, drive to another location. If the signal is still
unobtainable, check your antenna installation.
Once a GPS signal has been established, verify that the information display clock
time (time displayed on the radio) matches the navigation system clock. With an
established GPS signal, the software will follow you as you move and navigate.
The GPS reception quality icon shows the current accuracy of the position
information.

When your GPS position is available, iGO primo marks your current position with
the Vehimarker. By default, this marker is a red arrow, but you can change this icon
in Settings.
The exact location of the Vehimarker depends on the vehicle type used for route
calculation. The vehicle type can be selected in Route settings.
• If you choose pedestrian: The Vehimarker is at your exact GPS position. The
direction of the icon shows your current heading.
• If you choose any of the vehicles: The Vehimarker may not show your exact
GPS position and heading. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road
to suppress GPS position errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the
direction of the road.
Selected Map Location (Cursor) and Selected Map Object
You can mark a map location in the following ways:
• Tap the map when navigating,
• Tap the map when you are asked to conrm the destination at the end of a
search, or
• Tap the map in Find on Map.
When a map location is selected, the Cursor appears at the selected point on the
map.
The Cursor is displayed with a radiating red dot (
zoom levels.
The location of the Cursor can be used as the destination of the route, a new alert
point, you can search for Places around it, or you can save this location as one of
your Favorite destinations.
You can also select some of the objects on the map. If you tap the map at the icon
of a Place of Interest or an alert point, the object will be selected (you see a red
circling border around the object), and you can get information about this object
or use it as a route point.
iGO primo shows the streets in a way that is similar to how the paper road maps
show them. Their width and colors correspond to their importance: you can easily
tell a freeway from a small street.
Turn Preview and Next Street
When navigating a route, the top section of the Map screen shows information
about the next route event (maneuver) and the next street or the next city/town.
There is a eld in the top left corner that displays the next maneuver. Both the
type of the event (turn, trac circle, exiting freeway, etc.) and its distance from the
current position are displayed.
A smaller icon shows the type of the second next maneuver if it is near the rst
one. Otherwise, only the next maneuver is displayed.
When navigating on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in
order to follow the recommended route. If lane information is available in the map
data, iGO primo displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the
bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes you need to take.
Where additional information is available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts
are displayed at the top of the map. The color and style of the signposts are
similar to the real ones you can see above road or by the roadside. They show the
available destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to.
All signposts look similar when cruising (when there is no recommended route).
When navigating a route, only the signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is
displayed in vivid colors; all others are darker.
If you are approaching a freeway exit or a complex intersection and the needed
information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. The lanes
you need to take are displayed with arrows. Signposts can also be present if
information is available.
3D Object Types
iGO primo supports the following 3D object types:
TypeDescription
3D terrain3D terrain map data shows changes in terrain, elevations or
depressions in the land when you view the map in 2D, and
use it to plot the route map in 3D when you navigate. Hills
and mountains are shown in the background of the 3D map,
and illustrated by color and shading on the 2D map.
Elevated roadsComplex intersections and vertically isolated roads (such as
overpasses or bridges) are displayed in 3D.
3D landmarksLandmarks are 3D artistic or block representations of
Destination (end point)The nal destination of the route.
Your current position displayed on the
map.
• In pedestrian mode it is the exact

Selecting a New Destination When Already Having a
Route:
New Route, Waypoint or Final Destination
If you already have a recommended route and you select a new destination as
described in the above sections, the application will ask you whether to start a
new route, add a new waypoint (intermediate destination) to the route or append
the newly selected destination at the end of the current route.

other destinations of the route remain intact. The previous nal destination is
now the last waypoint.
