1.3 Glossary of Terms

Common terms used in this manual and on the M-Nav 900/950 include:

GPS

The Global Positioning system (GPS) is a network of satellites that orbit the Earth
at about 12,000 miles (19,300 kms) and transmit accurate time and position
information worldwide. The GPS receiver in your M-Nav 900/950 picks up signals
from any satellites in view and uses the information to determine your location,
accurate to within 15 ft (5 m). Usually, only three signals are needed to provide
a latitude and longitude position (GPS fix) for vehicle navigation systems.

POI

Point of Interest (POI) is a useful resource along or nearby the route, such as a
fuel location or a post office. You can add a POI to your route as a via point.

Via Point

A specific 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 final via point along your route. It is always marked with a chequered flag.

Trip

The complete list of via points that you specify; including the start location, the
final destination, and any via points between.

Route

When you have defined all the via points in your trip, the M-Nav 900/950 will
calculate the best route automatically after it obtains a GPS fix. Your route shows
the path to drive. Only one route can be shown on the map at a time.

Qube

Tracking and communications device.

OnlineAVL2
Application

Desktop application used by fleet administrators to send messages and monitor
vehicle locations.

Swipe

Touch the screen and move in the indicated direction (e.g. Swipe up) without

3 Installing the M-Nav 900/950 in a Vehicle

Refer to the Garmin manual for instructions on assembling the docking cradle and windscreen mount, and
installing the unit in the vehicle.

3.1 Attaching the Docking Cradle to the Windshield

NOTE: Some windshields contain areas of tinted glass that may interfere with the GPS signal. Do not

mount the M-Nav 900/950 in these areas.
Read the Important Safety Information in Section 1.1.

1. Connect the magnetic mount to the suction cup by firmly pressing the socket on the mount of the

ball on the suction cup arm.

2. Decide where to locate the suction mount on the windshield. Use an alcohol swab to thoroughly

clean that area of the windshield, then dry the area with a soft, lint-free cloth.

3. Press the suction cup firmly against the windshield for 3 seconds.

4. Push the lever down to vacuum-seal the suction cup to the windshield.

Now you are ready to add the M-Nav 900/950 to the docking cradle (see Section 3.2).

3.2 Adding the M-Nav 900/950 to the Docking Cradle

The M-Nav 900/950 attaches magnetically to the cradle. Simply align the unit with the cradle in the center
of the back face and when the M-Nav and cradle are close enough, the magnets will snap the two together.
The magnets are positioned to prevent the M-Nav being attached in the wrong position. If you feel

resistance, check that the cradle is correctly oriented (the word “Garmin” should appear the right way up)
and the M-Nav is in landscape orientation (also with the word “Garmin” should appear the right way up).

NOTE: The M-Nav 900/950 will charge only when connected to a Qube tracking device in a standard
vehicle installation, or when using an AC adaptor supply. It will not charge effectively when connected to a
standard USB connection through a PC or similar and powered on.

IMPORTANT:

The M-Nav

900/950

must be in the docking cradle and connected to the Qube tracking
device in order for you to report your driver status, send and receive messages, and otherwise
communicate with your fleet administrator through the OnlineAVL2 application.

The start-up screen will display automatically (see Section 4).

4 Getting Started

4.1 Disclaimer and Warning screens

NOTE: The following sequence of screens will appear the FIRST time you use your M-Nav 900/950, or

when the M-Nav is restarted following a factory reset.

After a factory reset, you will be asked to accept the Garmin
and associated software end user licence agreements. It is
necessary to scroll down to the bottom of the page before
pressing Accept All

The ‘Warning’ screen is displayed automatically.
If you accept the warnings, select Agree.

If your device is an M-Nav 950 (Garmin 670) you will be
warned about the navigation mode (truck vs. car) and offered
the opportunity to switch mode. If you wish to use the truck­specific routing features, press Switch Mode and then choose
Truck/Lorry. You can then set up a profile specific to your
vehicle (see Section 4.4).

If the ‘Main Menu’ is displayed, your M-Nav is ready to use. The
number of icons displayed in the ‘Main Menu’ depends on the

features that have been enabled by your fleet administrator.

NOTE: If a different screen is displayed instead of the ‘Main
Menu’, see the next section.
