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
MobileNavigator 6 can guide you to your destination quickly
and reliably – without 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 and,
in doing so, are constantly transmitting their position and their
time. The GPS receiver receives this data and calculates its own
geographical position from the various position and time
information broadcast by the different satellites.
For a sufficient, precise positioning it is necessary to obtain the
data from at least three satellites. If you have the data from 4 or
more satellites the altitude above sea level can also be
ascertained. The positioning is precise up to 3 metres.
If
can be used as a starting point for a route calculation.
The map material of your navigation device includes the
geographical coordinates of all the digitally recorded points of
interest, streets and locations. The navigation device can
therefore calculate a path from a starting point to a destination.
The calculation of the current position and its representation on
the map takes place once every second. So you can see where
you are on the map.
MobileNavigator 6 has determined you rposition, this position

2.2 Important safety information
It is in your own interest to read the following safety information
and warnings carefully before you start up your navigation
system.
2.2.1 Navigation safety information
Use the navigation system at your own risk.
Attention: Do not operate the navigation system whilst you are
driving – this could cause an accident!
Attention: Do not look at the display unless it is absolutely safe
to do so!
Attention: The rules of the road and traffic signs must be
obeyed prior to following the instructions of the navigat ion
system.
Attention: Do not follow the instructions of the navigation
system unless the circumstances and the street traffic regulations
allow you to do so! The navigation system will guide you to your
destination even if you have to go off course from your calculated
route.
Note: If you have not understood the speech instructions or are
unsure what you should do at the next crossroads, you can use
the map or arrow view to orientate quickly.
2.2.2 Safety information for a switch-on in the vehicle
Attention: Do not fix the support for the navigation device
within the functioning area of the airbag.
Attention: When installing the cradle, ensure that it does not
represent a risk in the event of an accident.
