2.4 Preparing the navigation system for use
2.4.1 Installing the navigation system in the vehicle
Caution! Be sure to refer to all the safety information in chapter
"Important safety information" on page 9.
Securing the cradle
Before you begin - 11 -
User’s manual NAVIGON 42 Easy | 42 Plus | 42 Premium
1. Clean the suction cup and that part of the windscreen to which you
want to secure the cradle. Both must be dry and free of dirt and
grease.
2. Open the lever on the suction cup as far as possible.
3. Place the cradle suction cup against the windscreen.
4. Press the lever towards the windscreen.
Inserting the navigation device into the cradle
On the back of the navigation device you will see a circle with two
recesses.
1. Hang the navigation device by the upper recess on the upper lug of
the cradle (see the figure).
2. Then press it towards the cradle so that it latches in place.
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.
Note: Use only the charger cable supplied with your navigation device
or an equivalent model from NAVIGON!
► Connect the car charger cable to the vehicle's cigarette lighter and
to the mini USB socket of the navigation device.

flat.
A fully charged battery enables up to 3 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
required, it can change your route dynamically, e.g. in order to avoid a
traffic jam.
2.4.2 Memory card
A memory card is not required to operate the navigation system
because all the data required 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 back-ups, 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 microSD
which you then insert in the device. The navigation system can use
navigation maps from both memories.
User’s manual NAVIGON 42 Easy | 42 Plus | 42 Premium
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.
Before you begin - 13 -
User’s manual NAVIGON 42 Easy | 42 Plus | 42 Premium
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.
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.
3 Switching on the navigation device
The navigation device can be in one of three states:
► On: The navigation device is on and can be operated.
► Standby: 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.
► Off: When you switch off the device, it consumes hardly any
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. 60 seconds). Your settings and your saved
destinations and routes will be retained.

Route Profile
The route is calculated on the basis of a route profile. The current route
profile is indicated at the top right edge of the map on the (Route
Profile) button.
Route profiles take account of the characteristics and special aspects of
the different modes of transport. For example a route profile for bicycles
will exclude motorways from the route calculation but will include roads
which other vehicles are not allowed to use. And a bicycle profile will
calculate different arrival times than a motorcycle profile.

calculates up to three routes on the basis of the currently selected route
profile and shows them on the map in different colours (orange, green,
blue) and with a number. For each route there is a button with the same
number and a symbol in the same colour.
When calculating the time of arrival or the trip time, the navigation
system takes account of additional factors such as day of the week,
time of day and particularly your previous driving profile.
The route which corresponds best to the selected route profile is
marked with "MyRoute".

Entering the starting point
The starting point of a route is the point at which you want to begin your
trip. This is not necessarily the current location. If you are planning a
route for your holidays at home, you could, for example, enter your
hotel as the starting point.
The starting point is only important if you want to see a planned route
on the map but currently have no GPS reception, or if you are not
currently at the planned starting point. This is why your selected starting
point has the flow number "0".
As soon as you start navigation, your current location will be used as
the starting point for the route calculation.
The first leg of the route is therefore the journey to the route point with
flow number "1".

9 Useful functions
9.1 Route Profiles
Route profiles define the characteristics and special aspects of the
different modes of transport which are to be taken into account when
calculating routes. For example a route profile for bicycles will exclude
motorways from the route calculation but will include roads which other
vehicles are not allowed to use. And different arrival times will be
calculated for a bicycle than for a motorcycle for example.
9.1.1 Route profile settings
A route profile is made up of several settings:
► Speed Profile: Defines the mode of transport (e.g. Bicycle,
Pedestrian, Car, ...).
► Type of Route: Defines the type of route which is to be calculated
(e.g. Optimum Route, Fast Route, ...).
► Motorways, Ferries, Restricted Areas: Defines whether these types
of road are allowed to be used.
► Use of Toll Roads: Defines whether toll roads are allowed to be
used when calculating the route.
► Tap on the (Edit) button.
The USE OF TOLL ROADS window opens.
► Adapt the individual settings to your needs (Yes, No, Ask
before) (see also "Configuring the Navigation System" on
page 101).
If you activate the Ask before setting, every time your route can
take a toll road you will be prompted to make the corresponding
setting(s).
For each setting there is a (Help) button. When you tap on it you will
see an exact definition of the setting in question.
The number of possible settings depends on the selected speed profile.
For example, for the Pedestrian speed profile there are no Motorways
and Use of Toll Roads settings.

Red: The affected section of the route is fully blocked by the obstruction
or involves a considerable loss of time (more than 20 minutes) to pass
through. This can be the case for example when several lanes are
blocked due to an accident.
Yellow: The section is not fully blocked by the obstruction but there is a
threat of delays (5-20 minutes). This can be the case for example with
slow-moving traffic.
No colour: The obstruction is not classified as serious (time loss of less
than 5 minutes). This can be the case for example when slow-moving
traffic is reported on a very short section, when SOS telephones are not
working or when parking areas are blocked off.
5 Here you can see how far you are from this obstruction. If the
obstruction does not lie on your route or if a detour route was already
