Page 6: Warnings And Safety Information
1 Warnings and safety information This GPS device 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 by the help of this program. -
Page 7: General Information
2 General information This GPS device is a navigation system optimized for in-car use. It provides navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route parameters. This GPS device is capable of planning routes throughout the whole map region installed on the memory card. -
Page 8: Operating This Gps Device (Controls)
Operating This GPS Device (Controls) This GPS device is designed for easy operation. All controls are operable by fingertips. Wherever possible, pushbuttons and lists are provided to make accessing functions or changing settings as easy as possible. 2.1.1 Switches When a function can only have two values (mainly Enabled and Disabled), a switch is used. -
Page 9: Virtual Keyboards
2.1.3 Virtual keyboards This GPS device is designed in a way that you only need to enter letters or numbers when it is inevitable. In these cases a full screen keyboard pops up that can easily be operated with your fingertips. You can choose between a separate ABC and numeric keypad, or a set of QWERTY-type keyboards that contain both letters and numbers. -
Page 10: Qwerty-Type Keyboards
2.1.3.2 QWERTY-type keyboards QWERTY-type keyboards have both letters and numbers on them. Their layout is the same as of the standard QWERTY, QWERTZ (German) and AZERTY (French) keyboards. To switch to your desired QWERTY-type keyboard, press the Keys button repeatedly until the appropriate keyboard appears. The special keys described in the previous section are also available here. -
Page 11: Discovering The Program Through The Screens

Page 14: The Map
3.4 The map The most important and most frequently used screens of this GPS device are the two screens with the map (Map screen and Cockpit screen). They are similar in look and in possible controls but are optimized for different uses. The map they display is common. -
Page 15: Daylight And Night Color Schemes
Note: If you need to zoom out briefly to locate your position on the map, use the Overview mode instead of zooming out and back in. The Overview mode is a 2D North-up view that can be started by tapping the compass button on the right. Note: This GPS device has a special Smart Zoom function for navigation that automatically rotates, scales and tilts the map in 3D map mode to always give you the optimal view in your current situation. -
Page 16: Streets And Roads
3.4.4 Streets and roads The similarity of this GPS device to paper roadmaps is also convenient when it comes to streets, the most important elements of the map concerning navigation. This GPS device 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 17: Other Objects
Tip: If you do not want to be bothered by street names during navigation, turn them off in Map Options. Tip: Major roads usually have alternative names (numbering) besides the primary name. You can choose whether to display these alternative names or not. You can set this in Map Options. -

Page 49: Short
4.4.2.1 Short Choosing Short will result in a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes between the given points. This is usually preferred by pedestrians, cyclists or slow vehicles. 4.4.2.2 Fast Choosing Fast will result in the quickest possible route, given that you can travel at or near the speed limits on all included roads. -
Page 50: Unpaved Roads
When a road type is selected, its lamp is green, if not, it turns red and is crossed-out as already described in Page 12. Note: Excluding a route is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded road types, This GPS device will use them but only as much as necessary. -
Page 51: Toll Roads
4.4.4.6 Toll Roads Toll roads are included in your routes by default. If you wish to travel more to avoid paying a toll, disabling them will make this GPS device plan the best toll-free route for you.

Page 71: Glossary
7 Glossary The manual may contain many technical terms. Please look below for an explanation if you are unfamiliar with some of them. 2D/3D GPS reception: The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position. Depending on the current positions of the ever moving satellites in the sky, and the objects in your environment, the signal that your GPS device receives may be weaker or stronger. - Page 72 Automatic day/night colors: Based on the time and position given by the GPS device, This GPS device is able to calculate when the sun rises and sets at your current location on this particular day. Using that information this GPS device can change between the day and the night color schemes a few minutes before sunrise and a few minutes after sunset.
