Introduction
Upon delivery the device has several maps already installed. If necessary, you
can install more maps from the supplied DVD.
The internal memory of the device is limited. Therefore it is not
possible to install all country maps. To install more maps, first you
will need to remove some existing maps. You can do this with the
supplied software (see the description starting from page 103).
When launching the device for the first time may it take a few minutes for
initialising. As soon as enough satellites have been found the
SiRFInstantFixII™ technology will start working (see also page 32). The next
time you power the device on, it will be ready much faster.
When launching the device for the first time will it take a few seconds for
initialising. As soon as this process is completed, the map with your current
position will be displayed.
In the case that no GPS signal is received (e.g. when you have
powered the device on inside a building) no position can be
tracked.
Please read the following pages to learn about the GPS technology and about
general operation for navigation purposes. A quick guide for programming your
first route can be found on page 35.
