Page 8: Warnings And Safety Information
V7 Navigation is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected destination. It will determine your exact location with the help of the built-in GPS device. The position information obtained from the GPS receiver will not be transmitted anywhere, so others will not be able to track you by the help of this program. -
Page 9: General Information
2 General information The V7 Navigation System is optimized for in-car use. It provides door-to-door navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route parameters. V7 Navigation is capable of planning routes throughout the whole installed map set. Unlike some other products, V7 Navigation does not require that you change maps or switch to a poorly detailed general map to navigate between map segments or countries. -
Page 10: Operating V7 Navigation (Controls)
The hardware buttons are the following: 3.1.1 Suspend Use this button to turn the power of the V7 NAV740 on or off any time. If the device power is turned off while V7 Navigation is running, when you turn the device back on, V7 Navigation will continue the navigation as soon as the built-in GPS determines the location again. -
Page 11: Screen Buttons And Controls
3.2 Screen buttons and controls The primary input channel of V7 Navigation is the touch screen. If you read on, you will realize that most parts of the screen are not only used to display information but also to initiate functions by tapping. Below you will find a list of the most frequently used controls in the program. -

If you choose the Greek language, an additional keyboard appears with Greek letters. Similarly Hebraic and Cyrillic letters are available when Hebrew or Russian is chosen in Setup / Languages (Page 64). -
Page 15: Discovering The Program Through The Screens
4 Discovering the program through the screens The best way to discover V7 Navigation is to explore each screen in detail, and to find out how to move from one to another. Read this chapter for a guided tour. 4.1 The map V7 Navigation starts by displaying the map. -
Page 16: Zoom Levels
Note: 3D view is only useful for navigation. As you zoom out, the view angle will automatically be raised. Finally 2D view will be reached. When you zoom back in, 3D view will gradually return. 4.1.2 Zoom levels V7 Navigation uses high quality vector maps that let you see the map at various zoom levels, always with optimized content. -
Page 17: Streets And Roads
You can set night views manually in General Settings Page 49. Tip: There are several daytime and night color schemes included with V7 Navigation. To select the one that suits your needs the best, make your selection in Settings (Page 52).

(e.g. on the right in Germany and on the left in the U.K.) on two-way roads. The location received from the GPS receiver is shown as a small dot on the map. This can help you locate your position if the GPS accuracy is poor, and the Lock-on- Road system puts you on the wrong street. -
Page 20: Visible Pois (Points Of Interest)
4.1.8 Visible POIs (Points of Interest) V7 Navigation comes with thousands of built-in POIs, and you can create your own POI database as well. Having all of them displayed on the map would make the map too crowded. To avoid this, V7 Navigation lets you select which POIs to show and which ones to hide (Page 60) using their categories and subcategories. -
Page 21: Road Safety Cameras
V7 Navigation uses a multi-destination routing system in which you have a start point (your current location if GPS position is available), a destination, the line of the active leg of the route, and optionally via points and inactive legs. They are all shown on the map. -
Page 22: The Active Leg Of The Route
4.1.10.3 The active leg of the route The active leg is the section of the route you are currently driving. If you have not added any Via points, the whole route will be the active leg. When Via points are present, the active leg is the part leading from your location to the next via point. -

U-turns Although displayed amongst road types, this is a type of action. Most drivers prefer to replace them with a few normal left and/or right turns in the next few junctions, so it is disabled by default. Turning back on dual carriageways is not considered as a u-turn. Note: Via points are handled as stopovers with regards to u-turns. -
Page 44: Tmc (Traffic Message Channel)
4.6 TMC (Traffic Message Channel) V7 Navigation can provide you with even better routes if Traffic Message Channel (TMC) information is available.

Page 80: Glossary
GPS Data screen (Page 24) and the map screen (Page 29). Note that 2D and 3D GPS receptions have nothing to do with the 2D and 3D display modes of the map. That is a way of representing the map on the screen independently from the GPS reception. - Page 81 You can only avoid that by using good quality GPS equipment positioned so that it has a direct view to as large a portion of the sky as possible. Lock-on-Road is always active in V7 Navigation when GPS position is available.
- Page 82 (depending on your GPS settings). When you start the recording, position data are saved in the database until you stop recording it. This set of sequential GPS positions is called track log. Each set of consecutive positions has a name (originally it is the time of recording but you can change it to any name you like) and a color in which it can be displayed on the map.
