Safety Information and Precautions Introduction to Your NavMate Software
NavMate software provides turn-by-turn visual and voice assistance to direct you to
Please read and follow the following safety precautions.
Failure to follow the instructions below may increase your risk of
WARNING!
The Please Drive Safely screen is displayed each time the NavMate software is turned
ON as a reminder to make use of the system’s navigational aids in a safe manner.
Before using the NavMate software, read this entire manual. Make sure that you are
familiar with the system’s features and know how to operate the system. Proper use of
the NavMate software includes the following guidelines:
The NavMate software is not a substitute for your personal judgment. The route
suggestions should never supersede any local traffic regulation or your personal
judgment and /or knowledge of safe driving practices. Prior to completing any
maneuvers suggested by your NavMate software (for example, a U-turn or a left turn),
verify that you can legally and safely complete the maneuver. Do not follow route
suggestions if they direct you to perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver, would place
you in an unsafe situation, or would route you into an area that you consider unsafe.
Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. Let the computer voice
guide you. If prolonged viewing is necessary, pull off the road to a safe location.
Do not use the NavMate software to locate emergency services (such as police, fire
stations, hospitals, and clinics). The database may not include all emergency service
providers. Use your own best judgment and ask for directions in these situations.
collision and personal injury.
your selected destination. The software quickly calculates step-by-step directions to
any destination available on the included navigation map.
The NavMate software uses Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, and a digital
roadway map database to calculate and display travel directions. The system’s GPS
antenna receives signals from a constellation of 24 satellites orbiting the earth and
uses the strongest of signals, to determine your position to within meters.
Vehicle Position
The NavMate software’s computer considers vehicle speed and heading changes,
together with longitude and latitude information, to accurately determine vehicle
heading and position on a digital map.
Signals from GPS satellites are used to determine the vehicle location. Three (good)
or four (best) satellites must be received to accurately determine location. The GPS
reception status is indicated by the GPS symbol on the map.
Map and Information Database
The map database used by your NavMate software was created using high-resolution
aerial and land based data collection.
Car navigation maps are frequently updated. While the database was judged to be as
accurate as possible at the time of its release, a map database can never be 100%
accurate. Road information that is maintained in the map databases, such as turn
restrictions or road names may change over time.
If the vehicle is in motion, only a passenger should program the NavMate software.
The driver should not program the system unless the vehicle is parked in a safe
location.
The NavMate software’s map database provides information on suggested routes
without regard to factors that may affect your driving experience or the time required
to arrive at your destination. For example, the system does not reflect road detours,
closures or construction, some road characteristics (e.g., road surface, slope or grade,
weight or height restrictions, etc.), temporary traffic congestion, weather conditions,
and similar factors.
