- 12 - How your navigation system works
2.1 How your navigation system works
The days of searching for the correct route through thick folding
maps are over. Now your navigation software Mobile Navigator
can guide you to your destination quickly and reliably – without
leafing through maps.
The American military developed the Global Positioning System
(GPS) in the 70s to be used as a guided weapons system.
GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites that circle the earth. They
constantly transmit their position and time. The GPS receiver
tracks this data and calculates its own geographical position
based on the different position and time data broadcast by the
various satellites.
Data from at least three satellites is required to indicate position
with a sufficient degree of accuracy. The altitude above sea level
can also be determined if data from 4 or more satellites can be
obtained. The position can be indicated within 3 meters.
The position can be used as a starting point for calculating a
route after Mobile Navigator has determined your position.
Your navigation device maps contain the geographical
coordinates for points of interest, streets, and cities that are
digitally acquired. This allows the navigation device to calculate a
route from a given starting point to a given destination.
The calculation and depiction of the current position on the map
is repeated every second. In this way you can always see where
you are moving on the map.
2.2 Important safety instructions
It is in your own best interest to carefully read the following
safety instructions and warnings before starting your navigation
system.
2.2.1 Safety instructions for navigation
The navigation system is used at the users own risk.
Caution: Do not operate the navigation system while driving.
This will reduce the risk of having an accident!
Caution: Do not look at the display unless the traffic situation
allows you to do so!
User Manual NAVIGON Mobile Navigator
Before You Start - 13 -
Caution: Traffic regulations have priority over any instructions
that the navigation system may give.
Caution: Only follow the instructions of the navigation system
when the circumstances and the road traffic regulations allow for
doing so! The navigation system will guide you to your
destination even if you deviate from the calculated route.
Caution: The United States government operates the Global
Positioning System (GPS) and is solely responsible for its
accuracy and maintenance. Changes by the United States
government may affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS
equipment, including your personal navigation device.
Caution: Ordinances or laws may restrict use of certain abilities
of your navigation device on public or private land.
Note: Look at the map and the direction of the arrow if you have
not understood the spoken instructions or you are not sure where
to turn at the next intersection.
2.2.2 Safety instructions for a switch-on in the vehicle
Caution: Do not attach the cradle for the navigation device in an
area that would obstruct an air bag.
Caution: NOTICE TO DRIVERS IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA:
State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using
mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles.
Navigon does not take any responsibility for any fines, penalties,
or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this
notice. (See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a);
Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71)
Caution: When installing the cradle, ensure that it does no t
represent a risk in the event of an accident.

from the comfort of your home.
The starting point is only important if you want to see a planned
route on the map but do not have GPS-tracking or you are not
yet at the planned starting point. The starting point that you
enter therefore has the sequence number “0”.
Your current location will be used as the basis for calculating t he
route as soon as you begin navigating.
The first stage is therefore the trip to the route stop with the
sequence number “1”.

9.5 Route Profile
In the ROUTE PROFILE window, settings are carried out that
influence the appearance and the functionality of the map and
the navigation software.
You can carry out the following settings on the R
OUTE PROFILE
window:
Setting Meaning and possible values
Speed Profile
Determine your means of transport. This
setting is important for calculating route
and arrival times.
Fast car
Standard car
Slow car
Motorcycle
: Bendy routes are preferred.
Truck
: Avoid through streets as much as
possible.
Bicycle
: One-way streets are often
inapplicable to cyclists.
Pedestrian
: Traffic regulations that apply
only to vehicles are not taken into
consideration.
Type of Route
Establish which sort of route should be
calculated.
Fast route
: calculates the quickest route for
the set speed profile.
Optimum route
: Calculates the quickest
route if the detour to be driven is sensible
in terms of the time saved.
Short route
: calculates the shortest route.
Scenic route
: prefers winding streets that
are nice to drive.
Consider Traffic
Information
Determine if the traffic messages are to be
considered in the route calculation (Yes
) or
(No
).
If necessary, you can determine how traffic
messages are to be considered separately.
For detailed instructions, please refer to
chapter "
Managing TMC information", page
79.
Factory-setting is Yes
.
Note: In order to receive traffic messages
(TMC) you will need a TMC-receiver. TMC
may not be available everywhere!

Calculate the Next
Stage
This setting is only effective if you are
navigating a route with several stages.
Specify whether, after reaching a route
point, the next stage should be calculated
automatically (Automatically
) or only upon
request (On request
).
U-turns
Not following a navigation instruction may
result in the route being recalculated.
Specify whether U-turns are allowed in this
case.
Allow
: You will be guided back to the
original route after making a U-turn.
Avoid
: A new route will be calculated to the
destination where hopefully no U-turn will
be required. This route may be
considerably longer than the original route
