Before You Start - 11 -
User Manual NAVIGON Mobile Navigator
2.1 How your navigation system works
The days of searching for the correct route through thick folding
maps are over. Now your navigation software Mobile Navigator
can guide you to your destination quickly and reliably – with out
leafing through maps.
The American military developed the Global Positioning System
(GPS) in the 70s to be used as a guided weapons system.
GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites that circle the earth. They
constantly transmit their position and time. The GPS receiver
tracks this data and calculates its own geographical position
based on the different position and time data broadcast by the
various satellites.
Data from at least three satellites is required to indicate position
with a sufficient degree of accuracy. The altitude above sea level
can also be determined if data from 4 or more satellites can be
obtained. The position can be indicated within 3 meters.
The position can be used as a starting point for calculating a
route after Mobile Navigator has determined your position.
Your navigation device maps contain the geographical
coordinates for points of interest, streets, and cities that are
digitally acquired. This allows the navigation device to calculate a
route from a given starting point to a given destination.
The calculation and depiction of the current position on the map
is repeated every second. In this way you can always see where
you are moving on the map.
2.2 Important safety instructions
It is in your own best interest to carefully read the following
safety instructions and warnings before starting your navigation
system.
2.2.1 Safety instructions for navigation
The navigation system is used at the users own risk.
Caution: Do not operate the navigation system while driving.
This will reduce the risk of having an accident!
Caution: Do not look at the display unless the traffic situation
allows you to do so!
- 12 - How your navigation system works
User Manual NAVIGON Mobile Navigator
Caution: Traffic regulations have priority over any instructions
that the navigation system may give.
Caution: Only follow the instructions of the navigation system
when the circumstances and the road traffic regulations allow for
doing so! The navigation system will guide you to your
destination even if you deviate from the calculated route.
Caution: The United States government operates the Global
Positioning System (GPS) and is solely responsible for its
accuracy and maintenance. Changes by the United States
government may affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS
equipment, including your personal navigation device.
Caution: Ordinances or laws may restrict use of certain abilities
of your navigation device on public or private land.
Note: Look at the map and the direction of the arrow if you have
not understood the spoken instructions or you are not sure where
to turn at the next intersection.
2.2.2 Safety instructions for a switch-on in the vehicle
Caution: Do not attach the cradle for the navigation device in an
area that would obstruct an air bag.
Caution: NOTICE TO DRIVERS IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA:
State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using
mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles.
Navigon does not take any responsibility for any fines, penalties,
or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this
notice. (See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a);
Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71)
Caution: When installing the cradle, ensure that it does not
represent a risk in the event of an accident.

The list adapts to the letters as you enter them. The list only
contains entries that begin with the letters entered or contain
those letters in the name of the location. The list becomes
shorter as you enter more letters.

4.3.1 Destination address
Any address details entered will be continuously compared with
the addresses in the navigation systems database. Below your
entry you will always find a list of cities (or streets, house
numbers, intersections) that match the data entered by you and
are displayed on the map currently loaded.
This list will be up-dated each time a character is entered.
Note: It is not necessary to enter all address data.
The navigation device will calculate a route to the center of the
city if only the name of a city has been entered. The navigation
system will calculate a route to the center of the street if you
only specify country / state, city, and street but do not enter a
house number or a side street.
