Your New Voxtrack 800
1.1 Introduction
The Voxtrack 800 Navigation Device is a full-featured
mobile satellite navigation system.
It utilizes GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites to
pinpoint your location utilizing the latest mapping data
technology to get you to your destination in the most efficient
and timely manner.
The Voxtrack 800 navigation software assists you in
planning your route and it provides Turn by Turn, Voice and
Visual instructions for getting to your destination.

1.2 Any Turn is OK
With Voxtrack 800 navigation software, there is no such
thing as a “wrong turn.” You can deviate from the planned
route at any time. For example, you might want to avoid
traffic, detour around roadblocks, or take an alternate route
of your choice.
The Voxtrack 800 does not require that you turn around and
go back to the original route. Rather, Voxtrack 800 will
calculate a new route to your destination using your current
position.
