To charge the Delphi NAV300, connect it to a 12V power jack. The unit will continue charging even when powered down. By default, it will power on when connected to a 12V power source, but this setting can be changed by turning “Auto Booting” to OFF in the Configuration Settings.
With an easy, intuitive interface, the Delphi NAV300 displays maps with street- level detail, allowing door-to-door navigation. The maps include points of interest, such as parks, airports, restaurants and lodging.
