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. The
NAVIGON 63xx can use navigation cards from both memories.
The following memory media can be used in the NAVIGON 63xx:
► microSD cards
2.6 Navigation 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.
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.

Impaired GPS reception
If GPS reception is impaired, navigation will be interrupted. As soon as
GPS reception is restored, the navigation system calculates any change
of position which has occurred in the meantime. Navigation is then
continued automatically.
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.
7.1 Starting the navigation application
You have switched on the navigation device and, if necessary, entered
the password.
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
in
order to exit the navigation application.
The N
AVIGATION window is opened. From here you can access all the
functions of the navigation application.

window back into the foreground.
Note: How to deactivate demo mode is explained in "Troubleshooting"
in section "I have accidentally activated demo mode" on page 98).
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.
User’s manual NAVIGON 63xx
- 26 - Navigation
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
20 minutes to initialise the GPS receiver for the first time.
Note: If the GPS
symbol indicates GPS Ready after far less than
20 minutes, it is advisable to leave the navigation device switched on
for at least another 15 minutes in order to ensure reliable operation of
the receiver.
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 10 minutes to re-initialise the receiver.
In the top right hand corner of the display, you will see the GPS
symbol.
As soon as data from at least three satellites is received, the icon will
change to
(GPS Ready).
Note: Initialisation takes the least time if you do not start driving until
the initialisation has finished.
For more details about the GPS
symbol refer to chapter "GPS" on
page 18.
Returning to the Navigation window
The NAVIGATION window opens when the navigation application is
started.
If another window of the navigation application is open, tap on
(Back). This will return you to the window you came from.
► Tap on (Back) repeatedly until the NAVIGATION window is
opened.
