INTRODUCTION

You may navigate and plan your route with an easy to use and intuitive interface, just by using your finger. You may also use this application to plan your trip to suit your personal preferences and interests and to save interesting destinations before you set off on your trip. This manual leads you through the main features of the system.

FIRST STEPS

Please make sure that the battery of your device is fully charged.

• Switch on the unit and tap on NAVI or NAVIGATION in the first screen.

Choosing a language

If more than one language is available on your device, you are prompted to choose your language.

commands during navigation (e.g. female or male voice).

• During Summer Time, please mark the corresponding check box in order to

FIRST STEPS

GPS connection

Your PND uses GPS technology for navigation. Your device receives signals from a number of GPS satellites in order to determine your current position.

• Place your PND in a position with an unobstructed view to the sky to set up

your first satellite connection. In the car this will usually be on the dashboard.

It may take up to 10 minutes to establish the first connection. Subsequent connections will be faster (30 seconds to 1 minute), but if you have not used the unit for several days or are very far away from the last location you used it, it may take up to 5 minutes again to find a strong signal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

This chapter describes the functions of your Personal Navigation Device in detail. On the following pages you will learn how to

- Use the map (see page 8)

- Find and choose locations (see page 10)

- Navigate to your destination (see page 20)

- Use the route planner (see page 23)

- Configure the application (see page 25)

Using the map

The map is the core component of your Personal Navigation Device. It will be centred on your current location by default, provided you have a GPS connection. You can browse the map, display information about the different locations shown on it and e.g. choose them for routing and navigating.

Tracking mode and selection mode

The map knows two basic states, the tracking and the selection mode. In the tracking mode, the map follows your actual position (GPS position), displaying information about your geographic position, your speed, etc:
