Route Exclude
The Route Exclude feature gives the user the ability to exclude roads while in route to a
selected destination. This will enable users to bypass traffic jams, construction zones, toll
roads and other paths that can make a trip longer than necessary.
To exclude a maneuver from the route press the VIEW
button while in route guidance mode.
A maneuver list will generate. To exclude a maneuver
from the route, highlight the maneuver and press ENTER.
The system will display the maneuver the user would like
to remove, press ENTER to exclude the maneuver.
The system will calculate a new route.
If it is possible to route around the selected maneuver
the 750

maneuver.
Important note: If the system recalculates the route after
using the route exclude feature, the route will revert back to
the original route.

Off-Road Navigation
Great for off-road enthusiasts, the 750NAV’S Off-Road Navigation option allows marking of
favorite trails, hunting, and fishing spots. With this option the user can route to points not
on roads, set landmarks, create trails, and more.
Off-Road is a navigation mode separate from turn by turn navigation and provides the user
with the feel of being a separate product. Once Off-Road mode is entered, the unit is functionally transformed into a product, which works just like Magellan’s famous hand held GPS
receiver.
Features
Enter navigation points (waypoints) by marking a waypoint by the systems current position,
using the systems cursor, or by entering latitude and longitude coordinates. The maximum
number of waypoints the system is capable of saving into memory is 100.
Create routes by inserting waypoints into a route list. The 750NAV,guides the user from
point to point by visually connecting the waypoints with highlighted lines in the order of the
route lists. The navigation system then provides directional instruction to the next waypoint
in the route. Waypoint to waypoint navigation continues in this fashion progressively through
the list of waypoints making up the route. Once the final waypoint in the list is navigated to,
the you have arrived voice prompt is heard followed by 3 double chimes. Also a destination
screen will be displayed showing the waypoint name and the Lat/Long coordinates of the
waypoint. The maximum number of routes the systems can save into memory is 10 with 25
waypoints max. for each route.
Reverse Route - Calculate a route from the last waypoint in the list to the first waypoint.
Next Waypoint - Navigate to the next waypoint in a route list, allows the user to step through
a route list or skip the next waypoint while driving a route.
The Clinometer Sensor shows how aggressive the terrain is by showing graphics with pitch
and roll readings of the vehicles current position.

Guidance mode by pressing the VIEW key. When using
True-View mode simply drive in the direction of the
arrow to follow the route. The red triangle shows how
far the vehicle is off route (works as a visual for the XTE
Alarm).
