Installing the GPS Device in Your Vehicle

Suction Lock

Release Tab

Windshield Mounting

When you install the device for the rst time, attach the

device to the support arm before attaching the arm to your vehicle windshield.

Note: Before attaching the suction cup, clean the inside of your windshield with a standard window cleaner and a lint-free cloth.

Press the suction cup

rmly against the

windshield and push the suction lock up towards the suction cup. To release the suction cup, pull the lock back towards the support arm and lift the plastic tab. Important: be ready to support the device when it releases from the windshield.

Connect the DC power cord to the 11-15VDC jack.

Then, insert the cigarrette-lighter plug into a standard 12-volt outlet. The device automatically turns on when you connect the power.

Extend the GPS antenna and insert the hooks on the support arm into the holes on the bottom of the Device.

Squeeze the locking tabs together. Swing the top of the support arm into the back of the device. Release the locking tabs.

Place the suction cup at against the windshield, and

adjust the position so you can easily see the display screen but your driving view is not obstructed. Flex the gooseneck support arm until the display is in the right position.

NOTE: Some states (including California and Minnesota) have banned the use of windshield-mounted devices inside the state’s borders. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with all the laws of any state(s) in which you operate your vehicle.

Permanent Dashboard or Console Mounting

NOTE: The surface mount disc is designed to permanently stick to most surfaces. Attempting to remove the disc may cause damge to the surface. Be certain you have the disc in the desired location before exposing the adhesive.

To mount the device on a rough surface, such as your dasboard or console, use the surface mount disk that came with your device. This disk permanently mounts in your car and provides a stable base for the suction cup mount.

Clean the surface where you plan to mount the disc. Be

sure to remove all protecterants, wax, and grease.

Carefully peel the protective sheet

from the bottom of the surface mount disc to expose the adhesive.

Position the disc above the surface

in the desired location, Press the

disc rmly against the surface,

making sure that all parts of the disc have good contact with the surface. Gently tug on the disc to test the adhesive before mounting the support arm.

Press the suction cup rmly

into the surface mount disc and push the suction lock down towards the suction cup.

To release the suction cup,

pull the lock back towards the support arm and lift the plastic tab. Important: be ready to support the device when it releases from the windshield.

Determine the best location for the surface mount disc.

Attach the device to the support arm. Place the suction

cup at against the surface, and adjust the position so

you can easily see the display screen but your driving view is not obstructed.

Connect the DC power cord to

the 11-15VDC jack. Then, insert the cigarrette-lighter plug into a standard 12-volt outlet. The device automatically turns on when you connect the power.

Using the Map Screen

As soon as the device acquires a valid satellite signal, it switches to the Map screen. You will probably use this screen the most, so be sure you are familiar with its layout, icons, and options. The arrow in the center of the screen shows your current position. If the arrow is red, it means the device has a valid GPS lock on your current position; if the arrow is

gray, the device does not have a lock on your position. (See Troubleshooting if you have difculty achieving a lock.)

The device has 8 zoom levels. One-half inch on the screen can equal 8 miles, 4 miles, 2 miles, 1 mile, 1/2 mile, 1000 feet, 500 feet, or 250 feet. Tap the plus button to zoom in to the next level and the minus button to zoom out. Each time you zoom, the scale appears in the lower right corner of the map.

You can set the view so that the direction you are heading is always at the top of the map, and the map itself turns.

Tap the compass icon in the bottom left corner of the map to change the heading direction. When you set the map to show your heading at the top, the compass icon changes to show you the actual direction of your heading.

Changing Heading and Compass Direction

The map screen normally shows north always at the top of the map and turns the arrow that shows what direction you are traveling:

Using the Three-Dimensional View

Another map view is the three-dimensional view. In 3D view, your heading is always towards the top of the screen.

Tap the compass icon in the bottom left corner of the map. In 3D view, the compass icon points toward north, wherever that appears on the screen.
