1.3 Glossary of Terms

Common terms used in this manual and on the M-Nav 750 include:

GPS The GPS is a network of satellites that orbit the Earth at about 19,300 kms

(12,000 miles) and transmit accurate time and position information worldwide. The GPS receiver in your M-Nav 750 picks up signals from any satellites in view and uses the information to determine your location, accurate to within 5 m (15 ft). Usually, only three signals are needed to provide a latitude and longitude position (GPS ﬁ x) for vehicle navigation systems.

POI Point of Interest. This is a useful resource along or nearby the route, such

as a fuel location or a post ofﬁ ce.

You can add a POI to your route as a via point.

Via Point A speciﬁ c location that you want to visit along the route. A via point can be

any location that you specify, such as a customer site, or a POI.

Destination The next via point along your route.

Final Destination The ﬁ nal via point along your route. It is always marked with a chequered

ﬂ ag.

Trip The complete list of via points that you specify; including the start

location, the ﬁ nal destination, and any via points between.

Route When you have deﬁ ned all the via points in your trip, the M-Nav 750 will

calculate the best route automatically after it obtains a GPS ﬁ x. Your route shows the path to drive. Only one route can be shown on the map at a time.

2 The M-Nav 750

2.1 Box Contents

The M-Nav 750 is supplied with a suction mount designed for installation on a vehicle windscreen. (If you do not want to mount the M-Nav 750 on the windscreen, use the optional Permanent Installation Kit.) Check that you have ALL of these items before you start the installation. Contact your supplier if anything is missing.

2.2 Optional Items

An optional Permanent Installation Kit enables you to install the M-Nav 750 onto any hard surface, such as the top of the dashboard, which has a good view of the sky. Contact your supplier for more information.

An optional External GPS Antenna can be connected to your M-Nav 750. This can be used to receive the GPS signal (instead of the internal GPS antenna already built into the M-Nav 750) and means that you can install the M-Nav 750 anywhere in the vehicle. Contact your supplier for more information.

When you have assembled the docking cradle, you can either:

• use the suction mount to attach the M-Nav 750 to the vehicle windscreen, or

• use the optional hard installation kit to attach the M-Nav 750 to a hard surface, such as the top of the dashboard

3.1 Assemble the Docking Cradle

Connect the suction mount to the cradle ﬁ xture, as shown, to form the docking cradle.

3.2 Windscreen Installation

Note: Some windscreens contain areas of tinted glass that may interfere with the GPS signal. Do not mount the M-Nav 750 in these areas.

Read the Important Safety Information in Section 1.1.

Decide where to locate the suction mount on the windscreen. Use the alcohol swab to thoroughly clean that area of the windscreen, then dry the area with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Press the suction cup (part of the docking cradle) ﬁ rmly against the windscreen for 3 seconds.

Push the lever down to vacuum-seal the suction cup to the windscreen.

Now you are ready to add the M-Nav 750 to the docking cradle. See Section 3.3.

When you have ﬁ nished using the M-Nav 750, remember to Logoff. See Section 4.6.

4.4 Check the GPS Status

Your M-Nav 750 has an internal GPS (Global Positioning System) antenna so that you can always receive a GPS signal, ﬁ nd your current location and use the M-Nav 750 for navigation. For best operation, ensure that your M-Nav 750 is positioned where it has a good view of the sky.

Alternatively, an optional external GPS antenna is available (see Section 2.2). This may help to improve the GPS signal in areas that are known to have poor GPS reception.

To check the status of the GPS signal at any time, press the Hot Button on the top of the M-Nav 750 to display the ‘Main Menu’.

Touch Nav.

The map is displayed. This example shows a default map view (speciﬁ c to your region) which includes the horizon.

The GPS signal reception icons are shown in the centre of the menu bar at the bottom of the map. These show whether a GPS signal is being received and, if so, the strength of the GPS signal.

If there is no GPS signal, drive to another location or wait a few minutes for the GPS satellites to change their position.

No GPS signal

Weak GPS signal

Medium GPS signal

Strong GPS signal

Note: If the GPS signal is often weak or absent, try re-positioning the M-Nav 750 in your vehicle so that it has a better view of the sky. (GPS signal reception can be affected by the mounting position as well as urban factors such as high-rise buildings.)
