Use the navigation system at your own risk.
Caution! To prevent accidents, do not operate the navigation system
while driving.
Caution! Do not look at the display unless it is absolutely safe to do so!
Caution! Traffic regulations have priority over any instructions from the

2.3.3 Safety guidelines when installing the device in your car
Caution! Fasten the cradle so that the navigation device is easy to see
and operate by the driver. Make sure that the driver's view of the traffic
is not impeded.
Caution! Do not attach the cradle within the working zone of any
airbags.
Caution! Do not fasten the cradle too close to the steering wheel or
other controls. The driver must not be obstructed in operating any car
functions.
Caution! When installing the cradle, make sure that it will not pose a
risk in the event of an accident.
Caution! Do not run cables directly next to safety-relevant devices and
power supplies.
Caution! Check that the cradle is secured and adjusted properly before
each journey. The suction cup may become loose after a while.

2.4.3 Supplying power to the navigation device
Included in delivery of the navigation device is a car charger cable with
which power can be supplied to the navigation device via the vehicle's
cigarette lighter.
► Connect the car charger cable to the vehicle's cigarette lighter and
to the mini USB socket of the navigation device.
The LED on the bottom of the navigation device lights up orange during
charging.
As soon as the battery is fully charged, the LED lights up green.
Caution! Connect the car charger cable only to cigarette lighters with
an operating voltage of 10-24V.
Note: It takes approx. 3 hours to charge the device when the battery is
flat.
A fully charged battery enables up to 2 hours of use depending on the
device configuration.
TMC antenna
The navigation device has an integrated TMC receiver. The TMC
antenna is integrated in the car charger cable. Once the car charger
cable is connected, the device can receive current traffic messages. If
Before you begin - 13 -
User's manual NAVIGON 20 EASY | 20 PLUS
required, it can change your route dynamically, e.g. in order to avoid a
traffic jam.
2.4.4 Memory card
A memory card is not required to operate the navigation system
because all the data needed for navigation are stored in the internal
memory of the device.
When you connect the navigation system to your computer using a USB
cable, the internal memory is detected as the 'NAVIGON' drive. The slot
for the memory card is detected as the 'NAVIGON SD' drive.
Data backups, software updates and navigation map updates can be
carried out quickly and conveniently with the NAVIGON Fresh software,
which you can download free of charge from the website
www.navigon.com/fresh.
If you purchase additional navigation maps but no longer have enough
space for them in the internal memory of your navigation device, it is
also possible for you to save these maps on a memory card which you
then insert in the device. The navigation system can use navigation
maps from both memories.
Only NAVIGON 20 PLUS:
In the case of devices with a DVD included in the delivery package it is
not possible to save all the maps in the internal memory of the
navigation device. On the DVD you will find all the maps you have
purchased along with other items. To use the maps with your navigation
system, save them on a memory card. This can be done quickly and
conveniently with the NAVIGON Fresh software, which you can install
on your PC from the supplied DVD.
2.5 Navigating with GPS
GPS is based on a total of at least 24 satellites orbiting the Earth and
continuously transmitting signals of their position and time. The GPS
receiver receives this data and calculates its own geographical position
on the basis of the information transmitted by the various satellites.
Data from at least three satellites is required for positioning with an
acceptable degree of accuracy. With data from four or more satellites it
is possible in addition to determine the position's altitude above sea
level. Positioning is accurate to within three metres.
Once the navigation device has determined your position, this position
can be used as a starting point for calculating a route.
The map data on your navigation device includes the geographical
coordinates of all digitally recorded points of interest, streets and
places. This enables the device to calculate a route between a starting
point and a destination.
- 14 - Before you begin
User's manual NAVIGON 20 EASY | 20 PLUS
Calculation of the current position and its representation on the map
take place approximately once every second. In other words, your
current position is always shown on the map.

Note: When you switch the navigation device to standby mode, the next
time it is switched on it will start very quickly and with the window which
was active when switched off. In standby mode the device still
consumes a small amount of energy however. Depending on how full
the battery is, it can become flat within a few days or a few weeks.
When you switch off the device, it consumes no energy. It can then take
several months for the battery to become flat. Switching the device on
again triggers a restart which can take some time (approx. 30 seconds).

Impaired GPS reception
If GPS reception is impaired (e.g. because you are in a tunnel),
navigation will be continued. The navigation system will then calculate
your likely position from the route data and your previous driving profile.
As soon as GPS signals are received again, navigation will be
continued with real GPS data.

Arriving at your destination
When you have reached your selected destination, a message to this
effect will be displayed.
Only your current position (orange arrow) and the destination flag will
now be shown on the map.
5.1 Starting the navigation application
You have switched on the navigation device.
The following message appears:
"Please note that the road traffic regulations are prior to the instructions
of the navigation system. Please do not operate the device while
driving."
► After you have read and fully understood the message, tap on OK.
If you do not accept the content of the message, tap on Cancel
order to exit the navigation application.
The N
AVIGATION window is opened. From here you can access all the
functions of the navigation application.
Initialising the GPS receiver
Note: Good reception of GPS data requires an unobstructed path from
the GPS receiver to the satellites. Tunnels, narrow thoroughfares
between buildings and reflecting house fronts can restrict GPS
reception greatly or make it impossible. If the GPS receiver or the
navigation device is inside a vehicle, a metallised windscreen or a
windscreen heater can be the cause of poor GPS reception.
As soon as the navigation device has been switched on, initialisation of
the GPS receiver will begin.
The integrated GPS receiver is not initialised for the first time until the
navigation application is started for the first time. It can take up to
5 minutes to initialise the GPS receiver for the first time.
Each time you switch on the navigation device after this, GPS reception
will start within a short time.
If the navigation device has not been switched on for more than a week,
it can take up to 5 minutes to re-initialise the receiver.
