Page 8: Warnings And Safety Information
Warnings and safety information The NVX200 Navigator is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected destination. It will determine your exact location with the help of an attached GPS device. The position information obtained from the GPS receiver will not be transmitted anywhere, so others will not be able to track you. -
Page 10: General Information
General information To Enter a Destination address Skip to Page 76 of this Owners manual for detailed instruction The NVX200 Navigator is a navigation system optimized for in-car use. It provides door-to-door navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route parameters. -

Page 15: Screen Buttons And Controls
GPS(Global Positioning System) GPS is a satellite-backed system for determining your position. With the help of 24 satellites revolving around the earth, it is possible to determine your position on earth with the accuracy of a few meters. The satellite signals are received by the antenna of the built-in GPS receiver, which must have a “line of sight”... -
Page 16: List Selectors
3.2.2 List selectors When the values in the list need to be named, only the current value is shown (sometimes together with a short description) in a horizontal stripe with arrows at both ends. The arrows are buttons. Tap to move left in the list or tap to move right. -
Page 17: Special Switches
3.2.5 Special switches Some switches behave differently. Instead of being dark when not selected, the light turns red and the lamp becomes crossed out ( ) to emphasize the prohibition of use. Furthermore the switches used for the road types (to be included or avoided when planning a route) in the Route Parameters screen (5.4.4) cannot be changed for some vehicle types. -
Page 18: Abc-Type Keyboards
3.2.7.1 ABC-type keyboards These keyboards contain only letters (Latin, Hebraic, Greek or Cyrillic). If you wish to enter numbers, you need to tap the Keys ( ) button to switch to the numeric keyboard. Use Backspace ( ) to delete the last letter you have entered if you have made a mistake, tap Space ( ) to enter more words, and hit Done ( ) to finish entering... -
Page 19: The Numeric Keyboard
3.2.7.3 The numeric keyboard The numeric keyboard only contains numbers, on huge buttons. The special keys you find on the other keyboards (except Space) are available here as well. Although QWERTY-type keyboards also contain number keys, when entering a house number, the program offers the more convenient numeric keypad. -
Page 20: Discovering The Program Through The Screens
Discovering the program through the screens The best way to discover The NVX200 Navigator 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. The NVX200 Navigator starts by displaying the Main menu. This is the root of the screen hierarchy, but you only need to return here in a few cases. -
Page 21: About Screen
** Same as removing the SD card 4.2 About screen Tap About on the Main menu screen to open this screen. The About screen is not used in no It is here to inform you about the map licenses you have, the creators of The NVX200 Navigator and the legal aspects of using the program. -
Page 22: Gps Connection Indicator
Additional pieces of information on this screen are: current position in latitude/longitude format, elevation, speed, date, time and calculated accuracy. Note: Accuracy can be affected by several factors the GPS cannot take into account. Use this accuracy information only as estimation. There are two icons on the left to show the status of the GPS connection and the quality of reception. -
Page 23: Time Synchronization
• - Green means 3D reception. The GPS receiver has enough satellites to calculate altitude. Position is generally correct (yet it can still be inaccurate due to different environmental factors). The NVX200 Navigator is ready for navigation. 4.3.4 Time synchronization In the top right corner of the screen you have another button that leads to a new screen where you can synchronize the clock of your PND to the very accurate time provided by the connected GPS. -
Page 24: And 3D Map Views
Navigator provides much more than regular paper maps can. The look and the contents can be changed. 4.4.1 2D and 3D map views Besides the classical top down view of the map (called 2D mode), you have the possibility to tilt the map to have a perspective view (3D mode) that gives a view similar to that seen through the windscreen with the possibility to see far ahead. -
Page 25: Daylight And Night Color Schemes
the optimal view in your current situation. When approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily recognize your maneuver at the next junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to flat in order to let you see the road in front of you. -
Page 26: Streets And Roads
4.4.4 Streets and roads The similarity of The NVX200 Navigator to paper roadmaps is also convenient when it comes to streets, the most important elements of the map concerning navigation. The NVX200 Navigator uses similar color codes to those you are accustomed to, and the width of the streets also refers to their importance, so it will not be difficult to tell a highway from a small street. -
Page 27: Selected Map Point, Also Known As The Cursor
The arrow is sized and vertically rotated with the zoom and tilt levels to always look realistic. The NVX200 Navigator has a built-in Lock-on-Road feature that always puts the position arrow on the road, on the axis of the street in case of one-way streets, or on the side of the road where you drive (e.g. -
Page 28: Visible Pois (Points Of Interest)
The NVX200 Navigator automatically selects the color of the pin. Different colors help you identify a pin in the History list (6.3.2) later. There they are shown together with their address and GPS coordinates. Tip: A quick way to tell the coordinates of a location you found on the map is to pin it, and then look for the coordinates in the History list (6.3.2). -
Page 29: Elements Of The Active Route
4.4.10 Elements of the Active Route The NVX200 Navigator 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 30: Screens With Map
4.5 Screens with map Having explained the contents of the map, the description of the other parts of the map screens follows. There is two map screens: the Map screen and the Cockpit screen. The way they show the map is the same but their look and controls are optimized for different purposes. -
Page 31: Turn Preview (No. 1)
(Cockpit only) Turn preview* Opens Route menu* Zooms in (optional) Zooms out (optional) Tilts down (optional) Tilts up (optional) Indicates that Lock to GPS position and Re-enables Lock-to-Position / Smart Zoom heading is inactive Selected map point (Cursor) Opens Popup Info and Cursor menu (Map only) Map scale Zooms in/out by dragging Menu (Find, Quick, Route, Main) -
Page 32: Tilt Up And Down (No. 4 & 5)
As already described in Error! Reference source not found., zoom will change the scale of the map. Zoom out shows a larger part of the map, while Zoom in shows a smaller part of the map in more detail. The automatic Smart Zoom function will do the necessary zooming for you when navigating (zooms out if the next turn is at a distance to let you see far ahead and zooms in when approaching a turn to give you a better view of the upcoming maneuver). -
Page 33: Cursor (No. 7)
Normally The NVX200 Navigator positions the map to keep the GPS position visible somewhere on the map (when North-up orientation is selected), or always at the bottom centre of the map (when Track-up orientation is selected). If you manually move the map, it will freeze the map in the new position. To return to the GPS position, use this Lock button. -
Page 34: Menu (No. 9)
4.5.7 Menu (No. 9) This button opens the Menu with the Find engine, the Quick menu, the Route menu and the exit button that takes you to the Main menu screen. The Menu will be described in detail later in 4.7. 4.5.8 Map orientation and Overview (No. -

There is also a Master slider on that screen. That you can use to fully turn down the volume of the device. Setting the volume low is different from muting;... - Page 37 Tip: If you want to see the map around the Cursor, close the Cursor menu and reopen it. When this menu is opened manually, the map is always moved to have the cursor in the centre. The content of the Cursor menu depends on the screen (Map or Cockpit) and it is slightly different if there is an active route already planned.
-
Page 38: Current Street (No. 16)
• Add POI: opens the new POI capture window to let you add the selected map point to the list of your user points. This menu point is only available on the Map screen and if there are no POIs near the cursor (i.e. only the address is shown in the Popup Info window). -
Page 39: Distance To Next Turn (No. 18)
4.5.16 Distance to next turn (No. 18) This field shows the distance to go before reaching the next route event (turn, roundabout, exit, etc.) This field is only displayed when navigating a route. 4.5.17 Next street / Next settlement (No. 19) This field shows the road or street that comes next in the route itinerary. -
Page 40: Route Data Displayed (For Destination And Via Points)
4.6.1 Route data displayed (for destination and via points) In the top section of the screen you see information about the current route. These fields are continuously updated while you keep this screen open. When you open the screen, all fields contain information on reaching your final destination. -
Page 41: Time Left
4.6.1.4 Time Left This is an estimated value that can also be displayed in one of the Route data fields on the Cockpit screen as ‘Time to destination’. It shows the time needed to reach the final destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route. -

6.3.1.1 Selecting the city, state and country to search in The first screen of the address-search module is the list of recently used cities (and states in Australia). The first line of the list is always the city you are in or near to. Should the settlement you are looking for appear on the list, just tap it and you will immediately jump to the Street Name Input screen with the selected city name or postcode shown at the top of the screen. - Page 79 combination of those. You can search for multiple partial words by inserting space characters in the pattern. For example Key West in Florida will be found if you enter ‘Ke W’ or even ‘We K’ (any word order will do). You do not need to enter accents when searching for a destination.
-
Page 80: Selecting A Street Or The Centre Of The Settlement
Once you have selected the city, you can continue by entering the street name. Changing the state (Australia, USA, etc.) Some of the maps contain state information. If the settlement you are looking for is in a different state, tap Other City then Change State from the list of recently used cities, then select the appropriate state. -
Page 81: Selecting A House Number Or The Midpoint Of The Street
Selecting the centre of the settlement If you wish to navigate to the settlement displayed in the top centre of the screen, just tap done before entering any letters. The search result will be the centre point of the city (where its name is displayed on the map). Note: This point is not the geometrical centre but an arbitrarily selected point chosen by the creators of the map, usually the most important intersection in case of a small town or village, and for larger cities an important intersection in the city centre. -
Page 82: How To Select An Intersection Instead Of A House Number
Enter the number, tap done, and The NVX200 Navigator will show you the selected location on the map (or will start navigating immediately if you have selected Find & GO at the Main menu). Note: House numbers may not be available on the map of your region. Ask your local dealer for details. -
