North up view (2D):
North is always at the top of the screen, and the car icon rotates to point in the direction you’re going. The compass icon’s needle (the red half) always points straight up.
Page 15
What Do I Do First?
Heading up view (2D): (default) The direction you are currently going is always at the top of the screen. The car icon points up, and the map rotates as you change direction. The compass icon’s red needle rotates to point north.
Three-dimensional (3D) view:
The map and all icons are shown in three dimensions, so your current heading is “forward” or “away from you.” The map and the
compass icon rotate the
same way they do in the 2D heading up view.
If you prefer a particular map view, you can set that view as the default. (See page 57 for Map screen options.)

Safety considerations

Don’t install any device where it will block your view (including
►
your mirrors!) while you’re driving.
Keep your attention on the road! Don’t try to operate or focus
►
on any device while you’re driving. If you have to concentrate on a device, pull off the road for a few minutes.
Some states have rules about what kind of devices you can
►
afx to your car’s windshield and where exactly you can put
them. If you’re not sure if there are any applicable laws in your state, contact the state agency that issues drivers’ licences.
It’s a good idea to take valuable items with you when you
►
leave you car—that includes GPS devices. If you can’t take the device with you, lock it in the glove compartment or hide it somewhere. And don’t forget to take down the windshield mount: you don’t want to remind any potential thieves that you might have some valuable mobile electronics in the car.
Don’t leave the device in direct sunlight for a long period of time or where the temperature could go above 140º F (60º C).

Mounting on the windshield

Make sure the device does not block your view of the road or your mirrors.
Once you decide where you want the device, hold the suction cup in that position, then adjust the mount so you have the best view of the device.
Press the suction cup at
1) against the windshield.
Push the suction lock up
2) (towards the suction cup) until it snaps into place.
Gently pull on the mount to make
3) sure it is secure.
If you have trouble getting the suction cup to stick:
Clean the spot with an ammonia-
►
free cleanser.
Dry the spot completely (use a lint-free cloth, if possible).
►
Make sure the spot is smooth and at (suction cups won’t stick
►
well on a curved or textured surface).
How Do I Put It in My Car?

RemovinG The WindShield mounT

When you release the suction latch, make sure you’re holding or somehow supporting the device.
Lift the suction latch and use the plastic pull tab to pull the suction cup off of the glass.
Mounting on a at surface
If you want to put the device somewhere other than your windshield (or anywhere the suction cup won’t stick), you can use the anchor disk. Once you glue the anchor disk down, the windshield mount installs inside the disk just like it does on glass.
When you’re deciding where to put the anchor disk, here are some things to keep in mind:
The surface should be as at as possible. If the disk is upside
►
down or at a sharp angle, it might not hold the device’s weight.
The surface should be as smooth as possible. If the surface
►
texture is too rough, the glue may not stick as well.
The anchor disk will stick permanently on most surfaces. If
►
you try to remove the disk, you might damage the surface.
Don’t peel off the protective sheet until you’re ready to install
►
the disk. Once you expose the glue, you can’t stop easily.

Use the up and down arrows to select a specic waypoint.
►
Tap the delete button to delete the selected waypoint. If you
►
delete the destination, the last waypoint on the list automatically becomes the destination.
Use the move up button to move the selected waypoint before
►
the one above it. For example, if you want to go to Waypoint C before Waypoint A, use the move up button to move Waypoint C to the top of the list, above Waypoint A.
Use the move down button to move the selected waypoint
►
after the one below it. For example, if you want to go to Waypoint A after Waypoint B, use the move down button to move Waypoint A to the bottom of the list, after Waypoint B.
When you’re nished editing the waypoints, tap the
►
recalculate button.
The device re-plots the route, starting from your current
location and going to the rst waypoint on the list. Then it
plots the route from there to the next waypoint on the list, and so on through the list of waypoints. Finally, it plots the
route from the last waypoint to the nal destination.
Until you tap the recalculate button, the device will use the route as originally plotted, without the edited waypoints.

highways along with geographical features:
At 100 miles the device shows only interstate highways, state
►
lines, and large geographical features (coastlines, bays, etc.):
Page 69

I have a question:

How long should the battery last?

With normal use, the battery charge should last about 2 hours. To help increase the battery life:
Store the device at room temperature. Never store the device in
►
temperatures below -4°F (-20°C) or above +140°F (+60°C).
Don’t store the device in any area where it might get wet or
►
where high humiditiy can condense into water.
Don’t leave the device in direct sunlight for long periods of time.
►

hoW do i find The SofTWARe veRSion?

Before you update the software, you need to know the version of the software your device currently uses. From the Menu screen, tap the info button and then the system info button. This opens the System Info screen, which tells you the software version and the database edition.
Where can I nd the serial number?
The serial number is on the label on the back of the GPS antenna.

I Have a Question

Why can’t I get a GPS signal lock?

The most common cause of signal lock issues is external radio interference or signal blockage: if your cell phone or AM/FM radio are having trouble with reception, your GPS device might have trouble getting a clear signal also. Some common things that can interfere with or block satellite signals are
Radio broadcast towers or signal repeaters
►
Localized radio signals (like at an airport)
►
High frequency power lines
►
Tunnels, large bridges or overpasses, parking garages, etc.
►
Tall buildings or canyon walls
►
Dense overhead tree cover
►
Another common cause is window tinting. No, really. Some window tints have such a high metallic content that they can interfere with radio signals and increase the amount of time it takes for the device to get an initial lock. If your windows are tinted, try stepping outside the car or holding your device near an open window.

ReAdinG The gps status ScReen

The GPS Status screen gives details about the satellite signals. To open the GPS Status screen, go to the Menu screen and tap the
button in the bottom right corner.
Page 73
I Have a Question
Some helpful things to know about the GPS Status screen:
There are a total of 27 GPS satellites in orbit, arranged so that
►
at least 4 satellites can be seen from every point on the planet at all times. These satellites broadcast radio signals that allow GPS
devices to nd them. Atmospheric conditions and radiation can
affect the signal strength on the satellite’s end just as the local environment can affect the signal strength on the recevier’s end.
Satellites in view are above the horizon and have the potential
►
to be tracked. When the device receives a valid, continuing signal from a satellite, it marks that satellite as tracked. When the device synchronizes with the satellite and locks onto its position in the sky, it marks that satellite as active.
The device must lock onto at least three satellites to estimate
►
your latitude and longitude. If it locks onto four satellites, it can also calculate your altitude. Generally, the device must lock onto four satellite signals to calculate your position accurately.
The GPS Status screen also shows the accuracy of your
►
position. An accuracy of 10 feet means that the calculated position is within a 10 foot radius of your actual position.
Once the device locks onto the satellites, it can usually maintain
►
the lock even if the signal strength goes down. Also, if the device locked onto the satellite signals within the past 30 minutes or so, it can often get a new lock very quickly.

If the whole mount shifts out of position, the suction cup probably isn’t getting a good grip on the windshield. Try removing the mount from the windshield and re-installing it. See page 22 for hints on getting the suction cup to stick better.
If the device shifts out of position even though the suction cup itself stays in place, try tightening the bracket joint.

The ScReen iS BluRRy And hARd To ReAd

Dirt and oils from your ngers can stay on the touchscreen.
Periodically clean the touch screen with a lint free cloth dampened with water only. If the screen remains dirty, try a mild soap solution or a cleaning spray designed for electronics.
Do not use ammonia on the screen, and never immerse the device in water.
