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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
