How Do I Put It in My Car?

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.

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 60º C (140º F).

Attaching the windshield mount

Assemble the Windshield mount.

1) Loosen the locking collar on part 2.

2) Push the ball joint of Part 1 through the locking collar into part 2.

Adjusting the Windshield Mount

Locking collar

Turn the windshield mount arm to a suitable angle for mounting.

Suction lock

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.

1) Press the suction cup ﬂat against the windshield.

2) Push the suction lock up (clockwise) until it snaps into place.

3) Adjust the unit & bracket to a ﬁnal position. Tighten the locking collar to secure.

4) Gently pull on the mount to make 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 ﬂat (suction cups won’t stick well on a curved or textured surface).

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.

1 Warnings and Safety information

This software is a navigation system that helps you ﬁnd your way to your destination with the built-in GPS receiver. The software does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.

It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate your software before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change the route.

You must obey the trafﬁc signs and follow the road geometry. If you deviate from the recommended route, your software changes the instructions accordingly.

Never place your device where it obstructs the driver’s view, where it is in the deployment zone of an airbag or where it might cause injuries in an accident.

For more information, consult the End User Licence Agreement (page 103).

Page 12

Page 13

2 Getting started

The software is optimised for in-car or pedestrian use. There is no need to use a stylus. You can use it easily by tapping the screen buttons and the map with your ﬁngertips.

When using the navigation software for the ﬁrst time, an initial setup process starts automatically. Do as follows:

1. Select the written language of the application interface. Later you can change it in Regional settings (page 97).

2. Read and accept the End User Licence Agreement.

3. The Conﬁguration wizard starts in the selected language. Tap to continue.

4. Select the language and speaker used for voice guidance messages. Later you can change it in Regional settings (page 97).

Page 13

Page 14

5. If needed, modify the time format, time zone and unit settings. Later you can change them in Regional settings (page 97).

6. If needed, modify the default route planning options. Later you can change them in Route settings (page 92).

7. The initial setup is now complete. Tap to proceed. The Conﬁguration wizard can be restarted later from the Settings menu (page 91).

8. You are offered to watch the Tutorial that leads you through the basic steps of navigation, or to run Demo route simulations. To start using the software right

away, you can tap the ‘More’ menu (page 89).

Page 14

to skip the tutorial as you can run it later from

Page 15

After the initial setup, the Navigation menu appears and you can start using the software. This is the screen you see every time navigation starts.

The typical way of using the software is to select a destination, and start navigating. You can select your destination in the following ways:

• Enter a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house number or the names of two intersecting streets (page 35).

• Enter an address with postal code (page 48). This way you do not need to select the name of the settlement and the search for street names might be faster as well.

• Use a built-in Place of Interest as your destination (page 52).

• Select a location on the map with the Find on Map feature (page 65).

• Use a previously saved Favourite destination (page 66).

• Select a location from the History of previously used destinations (page 68).

Page 15

Page 16

2.1 Startup screen: the Navigation menu

The software starts with its main menu, the Navigation menu. From here you can reach all parts of the software.

You have the following options:

• Tap

to select your destination by entering an address or selecting a place of interest, a location on the map or one of your Favourite destinations. You can also look up your recent destinations from the Smart History.

• Tap

to display the route parameters and the route in its full length on the map. You can also perform route-related actions such as cancelling your route, picking route alternatives, simulating navigation or adding the destination to your Favourites. (This button remains inactive if there is no destination given.)

• Tap

to customise the way the navigation software works, watch the Demo & Tutorial, run some additional applications, or to get extra content from www.naviextras.com.

• Tap

to start navigating on the map. The button itself is a miniature live map that shows your current position, the recommended route and the surrounding map area. Tap the button to enlarge the map to the full screen.

Page 16

Page 17

2.2 Hardware buttons

You can use your software mostly by tapping the touch screen. The device has only a few hardware buttons.

You can turn the your device on or off at any time. When the your device is switched off, your software does not calculate your GPS position and it does not update the route or the driving instructions.

When you turn the device on again, your software continues navigating as soon as the GPS receiver has determined your position.

2.3 Buttons and other controls on the screen

When you are using the software, you usually tap buttons on the touch screen.

You only need to conﬁrm selections or changes if the application needs to restart, it needs to perform a major reconﬁguration, or you are about to lose some of your data or settings. Otherwise, the software saves your selections and applies the new settings without conﬁrmation as soon as you use the controls.

2.4 Map screen

2.4.1 Navigating on the map

The Map screen is the most frequently used screen of the software. A small live map is displayed on the startup screen, the Navigation menu, as a part of the

button.

Page 21

Page 22

To enlarge this small map and open the Map screen, tap .

The map is displayed in black and white when there is no GPS position:

... or in full colour when the current position is available:

This map shows the current position (the Vehimarker, a blue arrow by default), the recommended route (an orange line), and the surrounding map area.

There are screen buttons and data ﬁelds on the screen to help you navigate. During navigation, the screen shows route information.

Tap the bottom left corner to see all three route data ﬁelds.

Page 22

Page 23

Tap any of the data ﬁelds to suppress others and display only the selected one. The data ﬁelds are different when you are navigating an active route and when you have no speciﬁed destination (the orange line is not displayed).

Data ﬁelds when cruising without a destination:

Field Description

Shows your current speed given by the GPS receiver.

Shows the speed limit of the current road if the map contains it.

Shows the current time corrected with time zone offset. The accurate time comes from the GPS satellites, and the time zone information comes from the map or it can be set manually in Regional settings. (The current time is always displayed in the top left corner of the high level menu screens.)

Data ﬁelds when navigating a route:

Field Description

Shows the distance you need to travel on the route before reaching your ﬁnal destination.

Page 23

Page 24

Field Description

Shows the time needed to reach the ﬁnal destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route.

The calculation cannot take into account trafﬁc jams and other possible delays.

Shows the estimated arrival time at the ﬁnal destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route.

The calculation cannot take into account trafﬁc jams and other possible delays.

2.4.2 Position markers

2.4.2.1 Vehimarker and Lock-on-Road

When your GPS position is available, the software marks your current position with the Vehimarker. By default, this marker is a blue arrow, but you can change this icon in Settings.

The exact location of the Vehimarker depends on the vehicle type used for route calculation. The vehicle type can be selected in Route settings (page 92).

• If you choose pedestrian: The Vehimarker is at your exact GPS position. The direction of the icon shows your current heading.

Page 24

Page 25

• If you choose any of the vehicles: The Vehimarker may not show your exact GPS position and heading. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS position errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of the road.

2.4.2.2 Selected location (Cursor) in Find on Map

If you select a location on the map in Find on Map (page 65), the Cursor appears at the selected point on the map. The Cursor is displayed with a radiating red dot

(

) to make it visible at all zoom levels.

The location of the Cursor can be used as the destination of the route.

2.4.3 Objects on the map

2.4.3.1 Streets and roads

The software shows the streets in a way that is similar to how the paper road maps show them. Their width and colours correspond to their importance: you can easily tell a motorway from a small street.

2.4.3.2 Turn Preview and next street

When navigating a route, the top section of the Map screen shows information about the next route event (manoeuvre) and the next street or the next city/town.

There is a ﬁeld in the top left corner that displays the next manoeuvre. Both the type of the event (turn, roundabout, exiting motorway, etc.) and its distance from the current position is displayed.

Page 25

Page 26

A smaller icon shows the type of the second next manoeuvre if it is near the ﬁrst one. Otherwise, only the next manoeuvre is displayed.

Most of these icons are very intuitive. The following table lists some of the frequently shown route events. The same symbols are used in both ﬁelds:

Icon Description

Turn left.

Turn right.

Turn back.

Bear right.

Turn sharp left.

Keep left.

Continue straight in the intersection.

Enter roundabout. The layout of the roundabout and the number of the exit is shown only for the next turn.

Enter motorway.

Exit motorway.

Approaching the destination.

2.4.3.3 Lane information and Signposts

When navigating on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the recommended route. If lane information is available in the map data, the software displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes you need to take.

Where there is additional information available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are displayed at the top of the map. The colour and style of the signposts are similar to the real ones you can see above road or by the roadside. They show the available destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to.

All signposts look similar when cruising (when there is no recommended route). When navigating a route, only that signpost is displayed in vivid colours that points to the lane(s) to be taken; all others are darker.

2.4.3.4 3D object types

Your software supports the following 3D object types:

Page 27

Page 28

Type Description

3D terrain 3D terrain map data shows changes in terrain, elevations or

depressions in the land when you view the map in 2D, and use it to plot the route map in 3D when you navigate. Hills and mountains are shown in the background of the 3D map, and illustrated by colour and shading on the 2D map.

Elevated roads

3D landmarks

Complex intersections and vertically isolated roads (such as overpasses or bridges) are displayed in 3D.

Landmarks are 3D artistic or block representations of prominent or well-known objects.

3D landmarks may not be part of the original software or they may need additional activation. They are only available in selected cities and countries. Check www.naviextras.com for details.

3D buildings

Block representation of full 3D city building data containing actual building size and position on the map. At time of print building data is limited to CBD of Melbourne and Sydney. This coverage is intended to expand in future data releases.

2.4.3.5 Elements of the active route

Your software shows the route in the following way:

Symbol Name Description

Current GPS

Your current position displayed on the map. position and Start point

• In pedestrian mode it is the exact GPS position.

• If a vehicle is selected for route calculation and roads

are near, the symbol is snapped onto the nearest road.

Normally if GPS position is available, the route starts from

the current position. If there is no valid GPS position, your

software uses the last known position as the start point.

Page 28

Page 29

Destination

The last point of the route.

(end point)

Map colour The map is vivid and colourful when GPS position

is available. Whenever the current position is not available, the map turns grey. The software however may still move the Vehimarker to show a possible but not conﬁrmed position.

Route colour The route always stands out with its colour on the

map, both in daytime and in night colour mode.

Streets and roads that are excluded from the navigation

You can choose whether you want to use or avoid certain road types (page 66). However, when your software cannot avoid such roads, the route will include them and it will show them in a colour that is different from the route colour.

2.4.4 Manipulating the map

To browse the map during navigation, tap

3 Navigating

You can set up your route in different ways:

• If you need a route for immediate navigation, you can select the destination and start navigating to it right away (normal navigation).

• You can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position or even without GPS reception (to achieve this, you need to turn off the GPS receiver and set a new starting point in the Settings menu - see page 72).

3.1 Selecting the destination of a route

The software offers you several ways of choosing your destination:

• Enter a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house number or the names of two intersecting streets (page 36). If you only know the street address and not the city/town then see the tip on how to select ALL cities within the state (page 37).

• Enter an address with postal code (page 48). This way you do not need to select the name of the settlement and the search for street names might be faster as well.

• Use a built-in Place of Interest as your destination (page 52).

• Select a location on the map with the Find on Map feature (page 66).

• Use a previously saved Favourite destination (page 66).

• Select a location from the History of previously used destinations (page 68).

3.1.1 Entering an address or part of an address

If you know at least a part of the address, it is the quickest way to select the destination of the route.

3.1.1.6 Tips on entering addresses quickly

• When you are entering the name of a city/town or a street:

• As you are typing, the most likely result is always displayed in the input ﬁeld.

If the guess is correct, tap

• After entering a couple of letters, tap

to select it.

to list the items that contain

the speciﬁed letters.

• You can speed up ﬁnding an intersection:

• Search ﬁrst for the street with a less common or less usual name; fewer letters are enough to ﬁnd it.

• If one of the streets is shorter, search for that one ﬁrst. You can then ﬁnd the second one faster.

• You can search for both the type and the name of a road. If the same word appears in several names, for example in the name of streets, roads and avenues, you can obtain the result faster if you enter the ﬁrst letter of the street type: For example, enter ‘PI A’ to obtain Pine Avenue and skip all Pine Streets and Pickwick Roads.

• You can also search in postal codes. This is useful when a street name is common and it is used in several districts of a city.

•

- You might need to avoid motorways when you are driving a

slow car or you are towing another vehicle.

•

- The software excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved roads can be in a bad condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on them.

•

- The software includes ferries in a planned route by default. However, a map does not necessarily contain information about the accessibility of temporary ferries. You might also need to pay a fare on ferries.

•

- The software includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per-use charge) in the routes by default. If you disable toll roads, your software plans the best toll-free route.

4 Reference Guide

On the following pages you will ﬁnd the description of the different concepts and menu screens of the software.

4.1 Concepts

4.1.1 Smart Zoom

Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:

• While following a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily recognise your manoeuvre at the next junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to be ﬂat so you can see the road in front of you.

• While driving without an active route: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly and zoom out when you drive at high speed.

4.1.2 Daytime and night colour themes

The software uses different colour themes during the day and during the night for both the map and the menu screens.

• Daytime colours are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright.

• The night colour themes use dark colours for large objects to keep the average brightness of the screen low.

The software offers different daytime and night colour proﬁles. It can also switch automatically between the daytime and the night schemes based on the current time and GPS position a few minutes before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset, before it becomes dark.

4.1.3 Colour theme in tunnels

When entering a tunnel, the colours of the map change. All buildings disappear, large objects (such as surface waters or forests) and empty areas between roads

Page 84

Page 85

become black.

However, roads and streets keep their original colours from the daytime or night colour theme currently used.

After leaving the tunnel, the original colours return.

4.1.4 Route calculation and recalculation

Your software calculates the route based on your preferences:

• Route planning methods:

•

• Vehicle types:

•

• Road types used or avoided in route calculation:

Page 85

Page 86

•

Your software automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary.

For further information about Route settings, see page 92.

4.1.5 Road Safety Cameras

The location of a Road Safety Camera is a special Place of Interest. These cannot be searched like other Places, and there is a special proximity warning only for cameras.

Is the software shipped with a built-in database of Road Safety Cameras? Yes

Can Road Safety Camera locations be uploaded in a text ﬁle? Yes

Can you save the Cursor as the location of a Road Safety Camera? No

4.1.5.1 Camera types

There are different types of Road Safety Cameras. For example:

Icon Type Description

Fixed Some speed cameras stand by the roadside, looking in one

direction, measuring one or both directions of the trafﬁc. They measure your current speed. The software warns you when you approach these speed cameras in the measured direction. If your speed exceeds the speed limit near the speed camera, a special warning sound is played.

Page 86

Page 87

Mobile Some speed cameras are operated from vehicles. They do

not always work and they are not set to check a preset speed limit. The warning is similar to ﬁxed speed cameras, but as there is no speed limit given, only the proximity is announced.

Built-in Some speed cameras are built into trafﬁc lights. They work

like ﬁxed speed cameras, but they are difﬁcult to spot. The warning for proximity and speeding is the same as for the ﬁxed speed cameras.

Section control

These speed cameras work in pairs, and do not measure your current speed but your average speed between the two speed cameras. Both identify your car and record the exact time you pass them. They use the difference between the two points in time to calculate your average speed.

The software warns you when you approach one of these speed cameras, but as you pass by, the warning stays on, and your average speed is measured until you reach another speed camera of this type. If your average speed exceeds the speed limit between the two speed cameras, you receive the same special warning sound as with the other speed camera types.

In the rare case your software cannot register the moment you pass the second speed camera (for example, it is placed at the exit of a tunnel where GPS position is not yet available) the warning continues. Just tap the speed camera symbol displayed on the screen to stop the warning.

Tap again to display the second route event with the possibility to open the Itinerary.

Red light

These cameras check if you obey trafﬁc lights. The warning is similar to mobile speed cameras: as there is no speed limit given, only the icon is displayed.

Rail Crossing

This is not a camera but an alert point. The warning is similar to mobile speed cameras: as there is no speed limit given, only the warning icon is displayed. This warning icon may not be available for your region (ask your local dealer).

Page 87

Page 88

4.1.5.2 Camera directions

A speed camera can measure the speed of one direction of the trafﬁc, both directions, or even several directions in an intersection, when they are mounted on a rotating base. The same directions apply to red light cameras. The software warns you only if you drive in a measured or possibly measured direction.

4.1.6 Speed limit warning

Maps sometimes contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. This information may not be available for your region (ask your local dealer) or may not be fully correct for all roads on the map.

When you exceed the speed limit, a symbol with the speed limit appears in the

corner of the map (for example:

Furthermore, you can turn on an audible warning: a voice message is played using the selected voice guidance proﬁle when you exceed the speed limit. See page 94.

4.1.7 Battery and GPS position quality indicators

You can ﬁnd useful information in the top corners of the high level menu screens (Navigation menu, Destination menu and ‘More’ menu).

The battery symbol in the top left corner, next to the current time shows information about the rechargeable battery of the device.

Icon Description

The battery is charging. The device runs on external power.

The battery is not charging but it is full.

The battery is not full but it still has enough capacity.

Page 88

Page 89

You need to recharge the battery.

In the top right corner, the GPS reception quality icon shows the current accuracy of the position information.

Icon Description

The software has no connection to the GPS receiver: GPS navigation is not possible.

Devices with a built-in GPS receiver are permanently connected. On such devices, the icon does not appear in normal circumstances.

The software is connected to the GPS receiver, but the signal is too weak and the receiver cannot determine the GPS position.

GPS navigation is not possible.

Only a few satellites are received. Position information is available, but elevation (altitude) cannot be calculated.

GPS navigation is possible, but the position error may be signiﬁcant.

Altitude information is available, the position is a 3D position. GPS navigation is possible.

4.3.1 Route settings

These settings determine how routes will be calculated.

Button Description

You can set the type of vehicle you will use to navigate the route. Based upon this setting, some of the road types can be excluded from the route, or some of the restrictions may not be taken into account in route calculation.

The route calculation can be optimised for different situations and vehicle types by changing the planning method. See below for details.

To let the route ﬁt your needs, you can also set which road types are to be considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible.

Excluding a road type is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded road types, they will be used but only as much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the Route Information screen, and the part of the route not matching your preference will be displayed in a different colour on the map.

You might need to avoid motorways when you are driving a slow car or you are towing another vehicle.

Page 92

Page 93

Vehicle types:

Charge roads are pay roads where you can purchase a pass or vignette to use the road for a longer period of time. They can be enabled or disabled separately from toll roads.

The software includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per-use charge) in the routes by default. If you disable toll roads, your software plans the best toll-free route.

The software includes ferries in a planned route by default. However, a map does not necessarily contain information about the accessibility of temporary ferries. You might also need to pay a fare on ferries.

The software excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved roads can be in a bad condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on them.

6 Glossary

2D/3D GPS reception

The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and needs at least four signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals. If three satellites are available, the receiver can calculate the horizontal GPS position but the accuracy is lower and the GPS device does not give you elevation data: only 2D reception is possible.

Active route

The currently navigated route. Whenever the destination is set, the route is active until you delete it, reach your destination or you quit the software. See also: Route.

City Centre

Colour theme

Your software comes with different colour themes for daytime or night use of the map and menu screens. Themes are custom graphic settings and they can have different colours for streets, blocks or surface waters in 2D and 3D modes, and they display shades or shadows in different ways in 3D mode.

One daytime scheme and one night scheme is always selected for the map and for the menus. The software uses them when it switches from day to night and back.

GPS accuracy

Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one given by the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reﬂecting objects near the GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can calculate your position.
