This may damage the device or impair its function (refer to "Technical
data" on page 97).
Caution! Never unplug by pulling the cable. Doing so could severely
damage or destroy the device.
Caution! Do not subject the navigation device to severe temperature
fluctuations. This can cause condensation to form.
Note: Do not kink the cable. Make sure that the cable cannot be

device configuration.
TMC ante nna
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.
2.4.3 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.

This chapter is relevant for you only if your navigation device is a
NAVIGON 70 Plus Live.
The NAVIGON Live services must be activated before they are used
for the first time (refer to "Costs" on page 90).

and can determine its position.
Before you begin - 15 -
User’s manual NAVIGON 70 Easy | 70 Plus Live
2.6 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.
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
► Press the (On/Off) key and keep it pressed until the device
switches on.
The NAVIGATION window opens.
When you switch on the navigation system for the first time, you will be
asked to make the following settings:

► the unit of length for distances
► the time format
► the date format
Note: When you start the navigation application for the first time, the
D

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 in
order to exit the navigation application.
The NAVIGATION window is opened. From here you can access all the
functions of the navigation application.
Initialising the GPS receiver
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.
Navigation - 25 -
User’s manual NAVIGON 70 Easy | 70 Plus Live
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 10 minutes to re-initialise the receiver.
Note: Directly after the GPS symbol indicates the GPS Ready state,
the accuracy of the positioning may be reduced for a few minutes.
In the top right hand corner of the screen you will see the GPS symbol.
As soon as data from at least three satellites is received, the symbol 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
