Introduction
Important Vehicle and Product Safety Information
Before using your GPS device, be sure you review and understand the following information.
This device is not a substitute for common sense and
careful driving. Always comply with all trafc laws of the
state and city in which you are driving. Do not allow the GPS device to be a distraction to safe
driving. What you see through your windshield is more important than what you see on the LCD screen.
Do not attempt to input locations, change routing
options, or recongure your GPS device while driving.
Park your car or ask a passenger to operate the GPS device for you.
Some states, such as California and Minnesota, prohibit mounting any mobile electronics device on the windshield of your vehicle. Before mounting your GPS device, check to see if your state (and any state you plan to travel to) have regulations governing how devices can be installed
in vehicles. Never leave the in plain sight in an
unattended vehicle. Remove the device from your vehicle to avoid prolonged
exposure to extremes of temperature and moisture.
Dense overhead trees, tunnels, and certain types of metallic window tinting may temproarily disrupt the connection to the satellites.

Installing the GPS Device in Your Vehicle
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.
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.

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.

Permanent Dashboard or Console Mounting
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.
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.
1.
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.
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.

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.)

Changing the Map View
Zooming In and Out
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.
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:
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.
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.
