1.2 Welcome

Congratulations on your purchase of a WorldNav GPS! This document will provide you with information on how to use the GPS software. Please refer to the GPS hardware user guide for information regarding the GPS device. A product overview and tutorial movies are provided on the memory card which help prospective and current customers to use and understand the navigation system. To be informed of program and map updates please register at www.teletype.com/register

Please note that the software functionality is the same for all WorldNav devices regardless of screen size. The pictures in this guide may appear differently from your screen based on which device you are using. This guide is based on Version 10 of the WorldNav software. Furthermore, the guide reflects the WorldNav trucking software. The software can also be used for car navigation and pedestrian use.

2.1 Terminology

• Position Fixed - a sufficient number of GPS

satellites in view to indicate your real time position. Also referred to as "locked in".

• Way Point - A position marker that can be used

to help create a multiple point route or to mark a position for future reference. Also referred to as a "My Point" or "Via Point".

• Memory Card - Some WorldNav systems are

equipped with a memory card for storage of maps and software and may also be able to store entertainment files such as music and movie files.

• Tools Icon - returns you from the Navigation

Mode into the Map Mode. Will appear as a red arrow when in Navigation Mode.

Getting Started

2.2 Quick Start Guide

TeleType offers commercial truck drivers the ability to specify the characteristics of the vehicle and type of load being carried in order to provide suitable routing taking into account road restrictions such as bridge clearances, load limits, dangerous turns, hazmat, and more. If you have purchased a device which offers the commercial truck routing feature, you can follow the information below to learn more about the features designed for truck drivers. For complete details on how to enter addresses continue reading this user guide. The GPS navigation devices are available in three screen sizes, 7 inch, 5 inch and 3.5 inch (measured diagonally). The GPS software operates the same way on all three devices.

1. Attach your GPS system to the windshield by

putting the suction cup on the window. It is best to allow the device to rest on the dash (while also mounted to the windshield) so as to minimize the possibility of damage to the device or mount.

WorldNav Navigation Software

2. Turn the device on, press the <Navigation>

button.

3. Press the <I Agree> button to begin using your

GPS.

4. The WorldNav GPS will automatically lock into

your current position provided that the device has clear view of the sky; no configuration is required. The GPS will know your direction of travel once you begin to move.

5. If the GPS has not yet locked into position, you will see <Where To> and <Menu> at the top of the map screen. The map will display the last known position centered into the target area. Press <Where To> on the screen to create new route.

6. Notice the bright pink lines on the map indicating restricted roads for trucks. When you are in any of the truck routing modes, the GPS will attempt to avoid these areas.

Getting Started

Restricted Roads Shown in Pink Color

7. To learn more about why the road is restricted,

place your target point over the pink road and press <Menu> then press <Info> or tap in the middle of the red crosshairs. The display will provide restriction information for that point. In the example below, the restriction is due to height restriction of 11' 0". (See Section 5.4)

Restriction Information

WorldNav Navigation Software

8. When entering addresses, the GPS will first prompt you to enter the state (you can spell the state or the abbreviation). The next screen is used for entering the city, the third screen is for entering the house number (leave blank if you do not know the street). Press <Next> and enter the street name (leave blank if unknown). See details earlier in the user guide under "Getting Started" (Section 2.5). Note that if the street name contains a number such as 61st Street, you can toggle the <ABC> button to become <123> so that you can enter the number.

9. Enter your destination by Address, Intersection or Service (a chain Truck Stop such as Loves, Flying J’s, Pilot or Petro, as well as independent truck stops). Note that intersections are only for use with local roads; they are not intended for use in finding Exits on highways.

10. Once the route has been created, the GPS will display the route from your current location to the selected location.

Getting Started

11. When the GPS is locked into position you will

hear “GPS ready to navigate.” You will also see your position on the map indicated by the big red arrow. The <Where To> and <Menu> buttons will disappear.

12. To hear a repeat of the upcoming navigation

instruction, tap the upper right hand portion of the screen.

13. Note that routing and re-rerouting may take

longer than expected if you are familiar with other GPS systems as this system is analyzing over 350,000 miles of truck restrictions before creating the route.

14. Updates are performed by exchanging your

current memory card for a new memory card which will contain any updates in maps and software to keep your GPS unit current. In some cases, depending on the GPS model, updates can be accomplished via internet download.

WorldNav Navigation Software

2.3 Preferences and My Points Transfer

The WorldNav GPS allows you to import your stored GPS data points from older WorldNav software for use with your new software. To import these points, insert your new memory card. On the "I Agree" screen, tap the memory card icon in the bottom left corner (as shown below) and follow the on-screen instructions.

2.5 Navigation Overview

Now that you are familiar with WorldNav features you are ready to begin navigating. When you turn on your device the GPS will search to acquire satellite signal. Once you have locked into the signal you can simply press <Where To> and enter a destination (either by address, service or other desired option) to navigate from your current location. If you are indoors or unable to pick up a satellite signal, you may want to set your home address manually. You can also create routes by entering start and end addresses for later use.

When you are driving, the screen will display your location en route and you will be given voice instructions for when and where to turn as well as a Lane Assist feature indicating which lane to move to for your upcoming turn. State borderlines are displayed on the screen which allow you to more easily document crossing state lines. Your destination will be indicated on the map with a checkered flag. Once you have reached your destination the route will be cleared and will be ready to navigate to your next destination.

WorldNav Navigation Software

2.6 Map Mode

The WorldNav software allows you to switch between Navigation and Map mode. You will automatically be in Navigation mode when you travel with the GPS locked into position. If you choose to browse the map, simply touch the screen anywhere on the map area, and you will then see a plus and minus symbol which will allow you to zoom in and out. You can use your finger to drag the map in any direction as desired. Road colors will vary based on the type of road. For example, in Day Mode, the colors of the roads are as follows:

• Gray - Residential

•

Yellow - County or State

• Orange - Highway

• Green - State Preferred Truck Route

•

Pink - Truck Restricted Road

When you see "Where To" and "Menu" on the screen that means you are in Map mode. If your GPS is locked into position you can touch the red arrow (tools icon) on the bottom left of the screen to get back to the navigation mode.

Getting Started

When the "Where to" and "Menu" buttons disappear it means you are in Navigation mode and the map will automatically orient in the direction of travel. The following pictures show Map Mode and Navigation Mode with a route in progress.

The Nav Panel colors will vary based on type of road. The colors are as follows:

• Gray - Lost Signal (such as a tunnel)

•

Red - Restricted Area (get out!)

• Green - Navigation Mode

• Blue - Simulator Mode
