Getting started with navigation
What is GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS)
is a satellite-based navigation system
made up of a network of 24 satel-
lites placed into orbit by the U.S.
Department of Defense.
GPS was originally intended for military
applications, but in the 1980s, the gov-
ernment made the system available for
civilian use.
GPS works in any weather conditions,
anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day.
There are no subscription fees or setup
charges to use GPS.

About satellite signals
Your unit must acquire satellite signals
to operate. If you are indoors, near
tall buildings or trees, or in a parking
garage, the unit cannot acquire satel-
lites.
Acquiring satellite signals
Before the unit can find your current
location and navigate a route, you must
do the following steps:
1. Go outside to an area free from tall
obstructions.
2. Turn on the unit.
Acquiring satellite signals can take a
few minutes.
Initial navigation screen
After the ignition switch is placed in the
ACC or ON position, when you enter
a navigation mode for the first time,
the caution screen is displayed on the
screen. Read the caution carefully and
then touch [Agree].
