Vehicle Profiles

Vehicle profile selections are not used to calculate route
suggestions.
Your vehicle profile is only used to display which trails your
vehicle can use, based on the US Forest Service Motor Vehicle
Use Maps. Limitation may exist in that map data such that your
device cannot account for trail conditions in all cases. Always
refer to all posted trail signs and conditions when making driving
decisions.
Vehicle profiles allow you to choose different settings based on
each vehicle you use with the device. The current vehicle profile
is indicated by an icon in the status bar.

Mounting the Antenna

NOTE: the mounted antenna must be at least 4 cm (1.57 in.)

interference.
You can use the external antenna mount to mount your antenna
in a more suitable location for your vehicle, such as a roll bar at
the rear of your vehicle, to receive better radio reception. For the
best results, use this method for vehicles that have a roll cage.
