1.5 Quick Start Method

1. Plug in the WorldNav 3100 to the 12v car power lighter in your vehicle. In order to charge the unit while driving, plug the power cord into the hole on the bottom right side of the GPS. The GPS will charge when your car is on. If the WorldNav does not turn on immediately, press the Reset button located on the back of the GPS. The reset button will not erase any of your saved history or points.

2. Your WorldNav includes a pre-configured Secure

Digital card with maps and points of interest pre-installed. The card has already been inserted into the GPS. Removing the card will result in the GPS becoming non-operational. If in addition you have purchased an expansion SD Card, to insert your Secure Digital Card in the side of the GPS, make sure the metal connection points on the card match with those visible inside the device. To remove the card press down on the card, it will pop up and you can then remove the card from the slot.

2.2 Navigation Overview

Now that you are familiar with WorldNav 3100 features you are ready to begin navigating. When you turn on your device the GPS will search to acquire satellite signal. Once you have picked up signal you can simply press <Where To> and enter a destination to navigate from your current location. If you are indoors or unable to pick up 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 in route and you will be given voice instructions for when and where to turn. 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.
