The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with a connected GPS receiver. Clarion Mobile Map 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 Clarion Mobile Map before you start your journey.
2. Getting started Clarion Mobile Map is optimised for in-car use. 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.
The initial setup is now complete. The Configuration wizard can be restarted later from the Settings menu (page 85). After the initial setup, the Map screen appears and you can start using Clarion Mobile Map. 2.1 Buttons and other controls on the screen When you are using Clarion Mobile Map, you usually tap buttons on the touch screen.
