IMPORTANT NOTICES AND WARNINGS
Important Notices and Warnings
This Documentation
Thank you for choosing our product as your navigator. Read the Quick Start Guide first and start using your device right away. This document is the detailed description of the navigation software and hardware. You can easily discover the software while you are using it; however, we still recommend that you read this manual to fully understand the screens and features.
Global Positioning System
The Global Position System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides location and timing information around the globe. GPS is operated and controlled under the sole responsibility of the Government of the United States of America, who are responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and accuracy or in environmental conditions, may affect the operation of your Navig8r. We cannot accept any liability for the availability or accuracy of GPS.
Precautions
For your safety and the safety of other road users, do not operate the controls of this Navig8r while driving. Use care when operating the Navig8r. This product is intended to be used only as an aid to navigate. It is not intended for the precise measurement of direction, distance, or location topography. The Calculated routes are for reference only. It is the user’s responsibility to follow all local traffic regulations and traffic signs when driving. Local conditions and regulations may change at short notice and may not be included in the software/mapping data of this product. When leaving your vehicle, do not leave the Navig8r on the dashboard of the car. It should be removed and placed in a secure place along with the windscreen mount and power cable. Do not leave the Navig8r in direct sunlight or in an enclosed vehicle when not in use. Overheating of the battery may cause damage or cause the Navig8r to malfunction. Extreme overheating may cause the battery to leak. GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials with the exception of glass. When travelling through tunnels or inside buildings, such as parking stations, GPS positioning is not available. The time taken for the Navig8r to re-acquire satellite signals when emerging from tunnels or buildings may vary and will depend on atmospheric conditions and the environment. A minimum of four GPS satellite signals is required to determine the Navig8rs current location. Signal reception can be affected by atmospheric conditions such as; bad weather, thick clouds, solar activity and dense overhead objects such as trees, tall buildings and large road signs. Wireless devices can also interfere with satellite reception. The use of devices with a GPS antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, hospitals and other locations that contain sensitive equipment. The Navig8r should not be used in these environments.

WARNING
1.1 Warning
This Navig8r GPS should not be used in conditions of high temperature, high humidity or dusty conditions. We recommend that the Navig8r is not left in direct sunlight for extended periods or left fitted to the windscreen, dashboard or glove box.
Prolonged exposure to high temperatures may cause the Navig8r to malfunction and may even cause permanent damage to the Navig8r.
There are no user serviceable parts in this device. Opening the device may cause harm and damage the device. Any attempt to disassemble this device will void the warranty.
Images, screen shots and features shown in this manual may vary slightly from the actual product. We reserve the right to make changes to this product without notice.
1.2 Before Using Your Navig8r GPS Unit
Please check the contents of the packaging and ensure that all equipment is located and identified. The protective screen cover may be left on the device but may impede the viewing of the device in normal operation.
Connect the Navig8r GPS unit to power source for a period of 24 hours in the first instance to charge and condition the battery. It may take several charge/discharge cycles for the device to reach peak endurance. The charging process will take longer if the device is turned on.
Subsequent charging should take less time to complete.
This GPS can only be charged from the PC USB port when the Navig8r is turned OFF.
Once the initial charge has been completed turn the GPS device on. The Navig8r should launch the Navigation software.
To turn the device off for short periods simply remove the Navig8r from its power supply (or turn the ignition off). If the navigation software is running the Navig8r will detect the power off and place itself in sleep mode. When the power is turned back on again the Navig8r will start at the last screen shown.
The GPS will continue to draw power from the battery in sleep mode and will go flat after 24 to 36 hours.
To turn the GPS off manually or if the device is not to be used for periods longer than two or three days, simply press the power button for 3 seconds and then tap the shut down option or cancel to return to the previous screen.
If no option is selected the Navig8r will turn off after 15 seconds. Prior to using the GPS system for the first time, it is recommended that the touch screen be calibrated. Please see the system setting instructions further on in this manual.

CONNECTING THE CAR CHARGER
1.3 Mounting the GPS Unit in Your Vehicle
Fit the windscreen mount to the holder which you have attached to the rear of the GPS unit and test mount the GPS on the windscreen of the car. Choose a position that will not obstruct your vision whilst driving but will also provide the GPS unit the best coverage of the sky through the windscreen. Loosen the two knobs on the mount to allow movement of the pivot points.
The Navig8r should only be fitted on fixed windows.
Once the best location has been determined, remove the protective film from the suction cap of the windscreen mount and, on clean glass, fit firmly against the windscreen. Push the tab located on the top of the suction cup towards the windscreen until it locks in place. For best results it is recommended that the suction cup be moistened before fitting.
In a normal driving position adjust the GPS to a position that will be in view whilst driving and does not obstruct your view of the road. Once the correct position has been found tighten the two knobs on the mount to prevent the GPS moving from vibration. Do not over tighten these knobs.
Changes in temperatures and condensation may cause the suction cup to become loose and should be checked on a regular basis. To avoid damage or theft, the GPS should not be left on the windscreen mount overnight.
To remove the mount from the windscreen, take hold of the mount in one hand and use the other to pull the tab away from the mount. Locate the plastic tab on the side of the suction cup and gently pull away from the windscreen to break the seal.
N.B: Tinted windows may impede the Navig8rs ability to detect the GPS satellites correctly.
1.4 Connecting the Car Charger
Caution: To protect the GPS against the possibility of damage caused by power surges when the vehicle is started, the charger should not be connected to the GPS device when the vehicle is started.
The car charger supplies power to the device when it is being used in the vehicle.
Connect the USB plug to the USB socket of the GPS and then fit the other end in to the cigarette/power outlet of your vehicle once the vehicle has been started. The charge light indicator on the GPS should glow when connected to power.
The GPS can now be started by pressing the power button on top of the device for about 3 seconds.
When starting the GPS in the vehicle it may take a short period of time for the system to acquire a valid GPS signal. Please make sure that the GPS unit has a clear view of the sky and is not impeded by trees, awnings, car ports or similar obstructions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Before Using the Navig8r Please Read the Following
Personal Navigation devices are designed to be an aid to navigation only. They are to be used in conjunction with all local road rules, laws and regulations. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure that the vehicle is driven in a safe manner in compliance with these laws.
In most states it is illegal to operate a GPS system while driving a vehicle. When entering information into the GPS, please pull over safely to the side of the road before using this device. It is better to set the destination for the GPS before you start on your trip rather than trying to enter it on the move. When positioning the GPS system on the windscreen of your vehicle, make sure that it is placed in a position that provides a clear view of the road ahead and ensure the driver does not have to look away from the road to check the screen.
Please read the hardware section to ensure that all accessories can be identified and you can assemble the navig8r GPS. Also please read the section on “Mounting the GPS unit in your vehicle” in the hardware section to ensure that the Navig8r is mounted safely and securely. The first time the GPS unit is used, or it has not been used for some time, it may take some several minutes for it to detect the GPS satellites. Restarting the system in the same location should acquire the signals quickly.
Please read this section carefully.

GLOSSARY
6 Glossary
2D/3D GPS reception
The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and needs at least four signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals. If three satellites are available, the receiver can calculate the horizontal GPS position but the accuracy is lower and the GPS device does not give you elevation data: only 2D reception is possible.
Active Route
The currently navigated route. Whenever the destination is set, the route is active until you delete it, reach your destination or you quit the software. See also: Route.
City Centre
The city/town centre is not the geometric centre of the settlement but an arbitrary point the map creators have chosen. In towns and villages, it is usually the most important intersection; in larger cities, it is one of the important intersections.
Colour Theme
Your software comes with different colour themes for daytime or night use of the map and menu screens. Themes are custom graphic settings and they can have different colours for streets, blocks or surface waters in 2D and 3D modes, and they display shades or shadows in different ways in 3D mode.
One daytime scheme and one night scheme is always selected for the map and for the menus. The software uses them when it switches from day to night and back.
GPS Accuracy
Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one given by the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting objects near the GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can calculate your position.
Map
The software works with digital maps which are not simply the computerised versions of traditional paper maps. Similarly to the paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps show you streets, roads, and elevation is also shown by colours. In 3D mode, you can see the altitude differences, for example valleys and mountains, elevated roads, and in selected cities 3D landmarks and 3D buildings are also displayed. You can use digital maps interactively: you can zoom in and out (increase or decrease the scale), you can tilt them up and down, and rotate them left and right. In GPS-supported navigation, digital maps facilitate route planning.
32
GLOSSARY
North-Up Map Orientation
In North-up mode the map is rotated so its top always faces North. This is the orientation for example in Find on Map. See also: Track-up map orientation.
Road Safety Camera
Special alert points for speed, red light or bus lane cameras. Different data sources are available. You can configure the software to warn you when you approach one of these cameras.
Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras is prohibited in certain countries. It is the sole responsibility of the driver to check whether this feature can be used during the trip.
Route
A sequence of route events, i.e. manoeuvres (for example, turns and roundabouts) to reach the destination. The route contains one start point and one or more destinations. The start point is the current (or last known) position by default. If you need to see a future route, the start point can be replaced with any other given point.
Track-Up Map Orientation
In Track-up mode the map is rotated so its top always points in the current driving direction. This is the default orientation in 3D map view mode. See also: North-up map orientation.
Vehimarker
The current position is shown with a blue arrow on the map by default. The direction of the blue arrow shows the current heading. This position marker can be replaced with different vehicle and pedestrian symbols. You can even specify different Vehimarkers for different route types (depending on which vehicle type is selected for route calculation).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
12 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What is GPS?
A: GPS stands for Global Positioning System. Officially named NAVSTAR GPS, It is a satellite-based
radio navigation system developed and operated by the U.S. Dept of Defence. GPS is operated and controlled by the Government of the United States of America, who are responsible for the availability and accuracy of the system. The system is allowed to be used free of charge.
GPS signals are available to an unlimited number of users simultaneously, and allow users to find their position on land, sea and in the air, the correct time, and velocity 24 hours a day anywhere on earth. The first GPS satellite was launched in 1978 and the full constellation of 24 satellites was achieved in 1994. A GPS satellite weighs in at about 900 kilograms and lasts about 10 years before it is required to be replaced.
Q: How does GPS work?
A: The GPS Navigation system is made up of three segments
The Space Segment: This is currently made up of a network of 31 satellites orbiting the earth at an
altitude of approximately 19,000 kilometres and travels at about 11,000 kilometres per hour. They orbit the earth twice per day along 6 circular orbital planes. They are positioned so that every inch of the surface of the earth can receive signals from at least 6 of these satellites. GPS satellites transmit signals constantly. These signals are aimed at earth based receivers such as GPS navigation systems. Each satellite transmits data about its location and height of orbit and the time that the signal was sent.
The Control Segment: Is the ground based tracking stations around the world that track and monitor each satellite in the NAVSTAR system. The tracking information is monitored by the United States Air Force 2d Space Operations Squadron (2SOPS) at the Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. 2SOPS regularly contact each satellite with navigational updates. These updates also synchronise the automatic clock on each satellite to within one microsecond and update the orbital data.
The User Segment: is the GPS receiver. This is commonly referred to as a Satnav unit or simply a GPS. The receiver will obtain information from at least three satellites and calculate the location and the time it took to receive the signal from each satellite. The receiver then calculates latitude, longitude, direction and velocity. In conjunction with the map software loaded on to the GPS unit, it can calculate your exact location, heading, speed and correct time and overlay the results on a map of the area. The software in the system can also calculate the best route to other locations and give instructions to the driver on the best route giving fair warning of impending turns. These warnings can be given visually or audibly depending on the model of the system.
43
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GPS navigation systems require a clear line of sight to work effectively and will not work indoors. Function may also be impeded in heavily wooded areas and city streets between high rise buildings that may impede line of sight to satellites.
In conjunction with the map software loaded on to the GPS unit, the system can calculate your exact location, heading, speed and correct time and overlay the results on a map of the area. The software in the system can also calculate the best route to other locations and give instructions to the driver on the best route giving fair warning of impending turns. These warnings can be given visually or audibly depending on the model of the system. Different models can have a wide variety of functions and features.
Q: How accurate are GPS systems?
A: In perfect conditions, GPS navigation systems are generally accurate to 3mtrs. Several factors can
impede the accuracy of the GPS unit. These include atmospheric conditions, signal reflection (or multipath) and clock errors. Most of these errors are small and are usually only apparent when stationary. Typically a personal GPS unit is accurate to within 15 meters.
The GPS system is only as accurate as the mapping software in the unit. If the map data is incorrect the visual representation of you location may not be displayed correctly.
Map data is compiled from several sources and may not be 100% up to date. Councils and regulatory authorities may change road signs, add or remove traffic lights and roundabouts and change the direction of traffic along roads at any time and these changes may not have been made at the time the mapping software was complied.
Q: Why does my Navig8r receiver show that I am moving when I am standing still?
A: Occasionally, GPS satellites may broadcast a signal error called Selective Availability (SA). This can
be displayed as up to 4KPH of movement on the GPS receiver.
Q: The GPS unit will not turn on after charging. What can I do to get it working again?
A: In most cases this problem is easy to resolve. Make sure that the GPS is charged or connected to
a power supply. Remove the Mount Cover form the rear of the device and locate the reset button.
Using the supplied stylus, press the reset button. The GPS unit should now start and load the main menu. You will need to reset any settings such as the system time and date again. If the above does not work and the system will not start, please contact the reseller or tech support
support@Navig8r.com.au
44
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What other factors will affect the accuracy of my Navig8r?
A: While GPS receivers can be quite accurate, there are several factors that can impede the
performance and accuracy of the system. GPS receivers require a clear line of sight to the satellites to receive the signal.
Bad placement of the receiver in the car can reduce the reception of the signal. This is the most common cause of poor reception.
Tall buildings in high rise areas such as city streets can impede the signal reception as well as introducing “Phantom Signals” or Multi Path. These can reflected off buildings and other surfaces, which make it hard for the GPS receiver to function correctly as it receiving two signals from the same satellite. This is more apparent when the vehicle is travelling very slowly or at a stop.
Atmospheric conditions such as solar flares and heavily wooded or areas of dense foliage can also affect the detection of satellite signals.
Q: Can I connect my Navig8r with a Macintosh?
A: The Navigator GPS is detected by computers as Mass Storage devices simular to USB drives. Macs
running OSX 10.2 or later should be able to access the GPS and SD Card Slot by connecting with the supplied USB cable without the need for any software or drivers to be installed.
Q: My Navig8r is frozen or displays a blue screen, or will not turn on, how do I fix this?
A: Contact technical support.
Q: I cannot find an address!
A: Check the address that you are looking for. The street may be listed as in a different suburb than
your information. Some addresses are given in a “preferred” suburb rather than the actual listed suburb. Map data for the Laser Navig8r is sourced from PSMA Australia (formerly Public Sector Mapping Agencies) and is as up to date as possible at the time of compilation
Q: I can find the street but not the house number.
A: If when entering a destination, the Navig8r cannot find a particular street number but can find the
correct street, try entering a number just above or just below on the same side of the road as the address you are looking for. For example if you are looking 101 Smith St. but the Navig8r cannot find it, try looking for 99 or 103 Smith St. House numbers can be spaced differently on one side of the street to another; the number 100 may be a block or two in either direction.
45
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: I have finger prints over the screen of my Navig8r, how do I clean it?
A: The Navig8r can be cleaned by using a soft damp to dry cloth. Lightly wipe the screen and the case
as required. Use another dry soft cloth to make sure that there is no moisture left on the Navig8r.
Do not use any cleaning products to clean the screen or case of the Navig8r as it may cause damage to the screen of the finish on the case. Using only the supplied stylus will also help keep the screen clean.
Q: Where should I position the Navig8r in my car?
A: There are several factors to consider when mounting the Navig8r in the car for use. The unit
should be positioned to give it the best possible view of the sky. This usually means at the base of the windscreen just above the dashboard. Make sure that the brackets are secure and the unit is fitted correctly so that the Navig8r doesn’t come loose while driving. It should also be placed so that it does not hinder the driver’s vision through the windscreen. It also needs to be visible while in a normal driving position without having to turn your head or take your eyes of the road while driving.
Q: I find it hard to enter an address while driving, what should I do?
A: The driver of a vehicle should not attempt to enter destinations or change the setting on the
Navg8r while the vehicle is in motion. It is very easy to get distracted. Pull over to the side of the road when safe and enter the destination.
Q: I received my Navig8r as a gift, I need to send it for repairs. What should I do?
A: The Laser Navig8r is covered by a 12 month warranty from the date of purchase on the GPS unit
only. Accessories are not covered by warranty. Replacement accessories packs are available from where the Navig8r is sold or online at the Navig8r website.
The Laser Navig8r is covered by a 14 day DOA (Dead on Arrival Period). During this period the Navig8r should be returned to the place of purchase for a replacement.
After the DOA period, please contact technical support for the warranty process. Please remember a proof of purchase will be required for any warranty claim.
Q: Why do I sometimes find map errors?
A
: While all care is taken, there are a lot of roads out there, and traffic signals, detours etc are constantly being made to roads. Sometimes the maps may not reflect the true status of the route shown.
46
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: I am having issues syncing with the satellite
A: Ensure that you have clear access to the sky. Turn the unit off and back on again. If the unit has
been turned off for a period of time it can take a few minute to sync with the satellites again.
Q: When I drive in a large CBD area, the GPS drops out or has trouble syncing
A: CBD areas can have a canyon affect on GPS systems. Not only can tall buildings hide the signal
from GPS satellites, it can also reflect the signals of the satellites that can be detected. This makes it hard for the GPS unit to calculate the correct position. This is more noticeable at slower speeds. Try moving to an area that gives a better view of the sky.
