Thank you for choosing this Navigator as your door-to-door in-car
navigator. The memory card version is very easy to use.
Read the Quick Start Guide rst and start using this Navigator right
away. This document is the detailed description of the software.
Although this Navigator can easily be discovered by experience, it
is still recommended that you read through this manual to clearly
understand the exact function of each button and icon.
This Navigator is a navigation system that helps you nd your way
to your selected destination. It will determine your exact location
with the help of a built-in GPS receiver. The position information
obtained from the GPS receiver will not be transmitted anywhere,
so others will not be able to track you.
If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate
this Navigator before beginning your journey. The driver’s attention
should be on the road. Plan your route before departure and pull
over if you need to change route parameters. This Navigator has a
built-in (optional) Safety Mode that will prevent you from using the
screen functions if your car is in motion. Unless a passenger will be
the only one to operate this Navigator, we strongly encourage you
to turn on the Safety Mode.
It is also important that you look at the display only if it is absolutely
safe to do so.
You should always observe trafc signs and road trafc before you
obey any instruction from this Navigator. If you need to deviate from
the recommended direction, this Navigator will suggest a modied
route according to the new situation.
Never place this Navigator where it can obstruct the view of the
driver, is within the deployment zone of airbags, or where it can
cause injuries in case of an accident.

This Navigator is a navigation system optimized for in-car use. It
provides door-to-door navigation for both single and multi-point
routes using adaptable route parameters. This Navigator is capable
of planning routes throughout the whole map region installed on the
memory card. Unlike some other products, this Navigator does not
require that you change maps or switch to a poorly detailed general
map to navigate between map segments or countries. You always
have complete freedom to go wherever you wish.
A stylus to use this Navigator is located on the lower right rear of
the Navigator. All screen buttons and controls are designed so that
you can operate them with your ngertips, or stylus.
When using this Navigator, you do not need to ‘double tap’ or ‘tap
and hold’ the touch screen as these functions cannot be used
reliably in a moving vehicle. A single tap triggers most of the screen
controls. The only exceptions are ‘drag and drop’ for moving the
map, or scaling it in MAP mode (6.5.6).
Most of the screens have a Return ( ) button in the top left
corner. This arrow returns to the previous screen or directly to
one of the map screens.
Setting screens also have a Help ( ) button in the top right
corner. This will show a detailed description of the current
settings screen.
