2 Getting Started
2.1 QuickStart Truck Routing
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 you can review the
remainder of this user guide.
1. Attach your GPS system to the windshield by
putting the suction cup on the window (moisten
cup if necessary). 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. Apply power using the
cord provided to the device (if needed).
2. Turn the device on, press the “Navigation”
button.
3. Press the <I Agree> button.
Getting Started
5. The WorldNav GPS will automatically lock into
your current position provided that the device
has clear view of the sky; assuming you are
driving a standard over the road truck (13"6'
high, 80,000 lb, 53' trailer), no configuration is
required as these are the default values for the
GPS. The GPS will know your direction of travel
once you begin to move.
6. 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.
7. 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.

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

place your target point over the pink road and
press <Menu> then press <Info>. The display
will provide restriction information for that point.
In the example below, the restriction is due to
weight restriction of less than 40,000 lbs.

hear “GPS position fixed, 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.
Restriction Information
9. 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). 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. For
details see Getting Started, Finding or Routing to
an Address section earlier in this guide.
10. Enter your destination by Address, Intersection
or Service (a chain Truck Stop such as Loves,
Flying J’s, Pilot or Petrol, as well as independent
truck stops). Note that intersections are only for
13. To hear a repeat of the upcoming navigation
instruction, tap the upper left hand portion of the
screen.
14. You may feel that routing and re-rerouting may
take longer than expected, keep in mind this
system is analyzing over 350,000 miles of truck
restrictions before creating the best route.
15. Your GPS has already been updated before it
was shipped to you so please do not try to
connect the GPS to a computer for updating. If
you have purchased an update policy you will
receive the update on a memory card which will
self install. Consult the appropriate WorldNav
GPS Hardware Guide for details.

2.2 Vehicle Specifications
The WorldNav Truck GPS is already set up to create
routes that are suitable for trucks having the following
specifications: 13'6" high, 53' trailer, 8'6" width, no
hazmat, 80,000 pounds, 5 Axles, 1 trailer. If you wish
to change any of these settings you should access
the Vehicle Specifications menu. Tap each of the
items in the menu to make changes.

arrows to make the adjustment. If the change is
major, you can save time by tapping inside the box
such as "Height", and you will then be able to enter
the new height by typing in the number directly.
Repeat this process for any of the specifications you
wish to change such as Weight, Axles, and HazMat
class.
Changing Values by Typing can be faster rather than
using arrows. This example shows changing the height
from 13'6" to 12'6".
If the change is minor, you can use the left and right

2.3 Launching Navigation
Depending upon how your GPS is configured you
may need to press the Navigation icon to launch the
program. Once the program is launched you will see
the following screen which we call the "I Agree"
screen. You will need to press "I Agree" each time
you use the GPS. Notice on the bottom right of the
screen you will see the version number of the
software you are using. This may be helpful to you
when contacting TeleType customer service.
I Agree Screen
2.4 Navigation Overview
Now that you are familiar with WorldNav set up you
are ready to begin navigating. When you turn on
your device, the GPS will search to acquire satellite
signals. Once you have picked up sufficient signal
strength and position accuracy we call this "Locked
In" or "Locked into Position", at which time 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 signals, 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. State
borderlines are displayed on the screen which allow
you to more easily document crossing state lines.
The Odometer function keeps track of the miles
driven in each state. Your destination will be
indicated on the map with a checkered flag. You can
configure the screen to display information of
importance to you such as Distance to Go, Current
Speed, and more. Once you have reached your
destination, the route will be cleared and will be
ready to navigate to your next destination. Notice
that the roads shown in pink indicate that they are
restricted against truck travel. The software
automatically routes you around these areas. If you
care to know the reason for the restriction you can
tap on the road and the information screen will

WorldNav Navigation Software
display the reason for the restriction such as a height
restriction (low bridge), weight restriction, or
Commercial Restriction (No Trucks Allowed). More
detail about this function is found in the section called
Special Features under "Truck Restrictions."
2.5 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 care to browse the map,
simply touch the screen anywhere on the map area,
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 on
the bottom left of the screen to return to navigation
mode.

When the "Where to" and "Menu" buttons disappear
it means you are in Navigation mode rather than Map
mode, the map will automatically orient in the
direction of travel.

2.6 Set Home Address
When you travel away from home it is convenient to
be able to route "Home" easily. Some drivers prefer
to set the "Home" address as their Yard or Terminal
where trips start and end. Set your home (or yard)
address by pressing <Menu>, <My Points>, <Set
Home>, choose from the various options for
recording the location.
Options for setting home address:
By Address - will prompt you to search for your
address then select the address when done.
By GPS position - assuming your GPS is locked into
position, it will set your address to the current
position.
By Map position - position the square target at the
location you wish to call Home, then select this
option, an approximation of the address will appear
on the screen
By My Points - select a previously entered point (you
will not have any points when you use the GPS for
the first time, however this feature can be helpful if
later you wish to change the home address using a
previously stored point).
By Recent - select an address you may have visited
in the past (once again, this will not be likely when
you first use the GPS, you may want to use this
feature a later time).
Press <OK> when done.

2.7 Finding an Address
Use the Find Wizard to search for an address that
you may want to use as a destination for a route. You
can either find the address ahead of time and it will
be in the <Recent> history section, for use at a later
time, or you can use the <Where To> button or
<Menu> ,<Route Menu>, <New Route> to create a
new route at which time you will be prompted to enter
the destination address. Either way, you will use the
Find Wizard to help you enter the destination.
Press <Menu>, then <Find> to get to the Find Wizard
Menu.
Smart Search feature will generate results for each
component of your address entry based on the first
few letters you type.
2. Most addresses will follow this pattern (when using
the device in English language, for Spanish, the
system will prompt for street name before the
house number):

selection.
3.For street names that include direction (N, S, SE,
NW, etc...) and/or numbers, (5th Ave, 32nd St,
etc...), you will need to switch between the alpha
and numerical keyboard displays. This can be
done by pressing the <123> and respective <abc>
