UNPACKING THE GPS100 SERIES RECEIVER

Typically, the GPS100 Series Receiver is mounted in a position where the receiver has a clear view of the sky and can
receive the GPS signals easily. The GPS100 Series Receiver then sends the GPS position information to your personal
computer, which is used by mapping software to plot your position on a map. Some mapping software applications can
direct you to your destination.

Heres what you should nd in the box. If there is anything missing, please contact Navman USA for assistance (see
