I. Warning
The manufacturer and the distribution chain disclaim
any liability deriving from an improper use of the
device in a way that may cause accidents or damages
to things or persons.
Using this navigator implies that the user accepts
and follows all these warnings and all the
instructions contained on this manual. The driver is
held responsible for using Geosat in the correct way
(passenger or non passenger mode).
The User should ignore the indications suggested by
Geosat in situations that appear to be in contrast
with the Highway Code. The Manufacturer and the
distribution chain disclaim any liability deriving from
an improper use of the device in a way that may
violate the Highway Code.
The Tele Atlas cartographic data loaded in the
navigator may present some discrepancies from the
reality. This is due to the continuous changes in the
street network. Some areas have a better coverage
than others.
I.I Important notes
Important:
• Do not place the navigator in positions that may
obstruct the driver’s view
• Do not place the navigator in positions that may
interfere with the correct functioning of the security/
safety equipment of the vehicle (e.g. airbags).
• Make sure that the navigator is correctly attached
to the bracket before driving.
• Do not rely exclusively on vocal instructions.
Depending on a variety of factors, (speed, weather,
GPS reception etc) these instructions may not be
correct or timely. Always take the information
provided as indicative, and always respect the
6 - AvMap
Highway Code. Satellite navigators should be
considered merely as aids. The driver is held
responsible for safe driving and the choice of the
best route to take.
• Do not consult the navigator whilst driving if this
represents a danger for you and other people.
• Do not program the navigator while driving
•The precision of the GPS signal, in the best possible
conditions is guaranteed with a deviation of 15
meters
N.B.: The information contained in this manual is
updated to August 2007. Any subsequent changes in
the system, in the functions, in the tools bar or maps
introduced after this date will not be present in this
manual.

the cigarette lighter.
3. Place the Geosat 6 on the magnetic car mount
coupling with a simple gesture.
4. Press the power key to power on the navigator.
5. The smart magnetic rotating mount makes it
possible to rotate the navigator from landscape to

on the road: the software will automatically switch
from landscape to portrait view.
