2 Before you begin

2.1 Software Installation

1. Insert the memory card into your device.
Note: The memory card must remain in the device during operation of

the navigation system.

2. Slide the main switch on the under side of the device to the ON
position.

The installation will now be carried out.

- 6 - Before you begin

2.2 Navigation with GPS

GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites that circle the earth and, in
doing so, are constantly transmitting their position and the current time.
The GPS receiver receives this data and calculates its own
geographical position on the basis of the information broadcast by the
various satellites.

For a sufficiently precise positioning it is necessary to obtain the data
from at least three satellites. With the data from 4 or more satellites the
altitude above sea level can also be ascertained. The determination has
an accuracy of about 3 yards.

Once

MobileNavigator 6 has determined your position, this position

can be used as a starting point for a route calculation.
The map data on your navigation device includes the geographical

coordinates of all digitally recorded points of interest, streets and
places. From this the server can calculate a route from any given
starting point to a destination.

The calculation of the current position and its representation on the map
takes place once every second. So your current position is always
shown on the map.

2.3 Important safety information

In your own interest, read the following notices and safety information
carefully before starting up your navigation system.

2.3.1 Navigation safety information

The usage of the navigation system is at your own risk.
Caution! To prevent accidents, do not program the navigation system

while driving.

Caution! Do not look at the display unless it is absolutely safe to do so!

Caution! Traffic regulations have priority over any instructions from the

navigation system.
Caution! Only follow the instructions of the navigation system when the

circumstances and the road traffic regulations allow doing so. The
navigation system will guide you to your destination even if you deviate
from your calculated route.

6 Routes with various stages

You may plan itineraries without receiving GPS-signals, e.g.
comfortably at home. Planned itineraries may be stored. Thus you may
plan as many itineraries as you want, e.g. for holidays.

6.1 Itinerary

1. In the MAIN WINDOW, tap the Options button.
The options list opens.

2. Tap the Route Planning
The R

OUTE PLANNING window opens.

6.1.1 Enter the starting point

The starting point of a route is the point at which you want to begin your
trip. This must not necessarily be the current location. If you want to
plan a route for a trip on your holidays, 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 you are not
currently at the planned starting point. The starting point that you enter
therefore has the flow number "0".

As soon as you begin a navigation, your current location will be used as
the basis for the route calculation.

The first stage is therefore the trip to the route stage with the flow
number "1".

1. Tap on the field Specify Starting Point
The S

TARTING POINT menu opens up.

If you want to enter your current location as the starting point:

Route stages can be deleted from a route. The order of the route stages
can be varied as you wish.

Note: The start point (flow number "0") can neither be moved or
deleted.
