About This Manual

This manual provides all the information you need to make full use of your new Mobile
Navigation System. The first few sections give an overview of the system and explain how to
prepare it for use. The remainder is in the form of a function reference giving full details of
every feature. A comprehensive list of all sections of the manual is provided in the table of
contents at the beginning of this introduction.

How to use this manual

For reasons of safety, it is particularly important that you fully understand your Mobile
Navigation System before using it. However, you don't have to read the whole manual before
obtaining guidance to your first destination. The following summary indicates which chapters
you should read now and which you can come back to later. (Read the chapters marked * before
attempting to obtain guidance to your first destination.)

1 Getting Started*

This chapter introduces the components of your Mobile Navigation System and takes you
through the initial setup process. You should read this chapter first.
2 Basic Operation*
Read this chapter after going through the setup process. It explains what you see on the display
and how to use the menus. You will then be ready to navigate to your first destination.
3 Setting a Route to Your Destination*
This chapter describes a number of ways to choose a destination. Choose the one that suits your
first destination and read that section; you can then come back and read the rest of the chapter
later.

Before actually setting out toward your chosen destination, read this chapter to learn how to
interpret the guidance given by your Mobile Navigation System.
