ActiveSync:

If only using ActiveSync to update your NV-U70, make sure to uncheck all boxes and then select NEXT. However, if you currently do use a PDA, leave the settings as is and continue.

Map Manager:

Selecting Map Manager after having established a partnership between your PC and the NV-U70 eliminates the need for you to select Update Software.

Map Segments:

Although the size of each map segment will have a factor in the time necessary to complete the update process, you can swap maps at a later time by re-using this update disc.

How long does it take to update the map data?

Depending upon your PC settings, and the desired map segment, this process can take up to a few hours.

Does the data registered as ‘Favorite’ and ‘Home’ remain after the update?

In many cases this data will remain, however some data may generate an error message relative to the updated map data. In this case, you will need to delete the particular ‘Favorite’ and re-register it with the revised map data. Prior to updating your NV-U70 unit, please take note of all ‘Favorites’ for safekeeping.

Is this update DVD compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista?

At this time, Microsoft Windows Vista does not support this update.

Can previous map data be restored after updating the NV-U70?

No.

Are any functions updated during the update process?

No functions are updated.

What should be done if a route number is not displayed correctly?

Turn the unit OFF using the power switch located on the bottom of the unit and then turn it back ON. The map data will be re-read and the route number should appear correctly, unless it has recently changed.

There is a setting indicating ‘USA-All States’ when selecting a region. Does this mean, all-states will be visible? ‘USA-All States’ means that all states within the currently

selected region/segment will be shown. Changing the selected region will reveal different map data.

When selecting the destination registered in ‘Favorites’, the following message appears, “The selected destination is not within the range of the selected map. Please select another map or another destination.”

Please confirm whether the selected destination is within the range of the installed and selected map data. If the selected destination is within the range of the installed and selected map data, register the destination data again after deleting it to make it usable.

What data other than road and street data is updated?

Map colors, icons, and POI categories have been updated.

What should you do when trying to load a route saved in the previous version, the following message appears, “Unable to load the route. The following destination is outside the range of the map”?

Please confirm whether the route is within the range of the installed and selected map data. If the route is within the range of the installed and selected map data, register the route data again after deleting it so that it becomes usable.

What should be done if either cable gets disconnected during the update process?

Cancel the process, reconnect the cable and restart the process.

Due to the nature of the updated, highly-detailed map content, the entire US map cannot fit on the NV-U70 at one time. You can swap maps at a later time by re-using the update disc.

Sony cannot be responsible for the loss of personal content, such as ‘Favorites’ during the update process as certain points may not be compatible with the updated content. Please take a few moments to write down your ‘Favorites’ for safekeeping, should they be lost.
