22. The Navigation System – How it works
Navigation on [Nav On] – By pressing Nav On the navigation system is turned on. The indicator
light under the Nav On button will illuminate green each time you use a command whilst navigation
is on. The navigation system ensures the buggy maintains its direction regardless of the terrain.
The buggy will automatically brake or accelerate either wheel to maintain its direction. The Top
Box speed setting [S1-9] will also have a green line under it to indicate Nav On.
Useful hint: On a steep incline, the gradient may force the buggy off line. You do not need to adjust
the buggy. The buggy will work its way back on course. In addition, if the buggy hits a tuft of grass
or other object, the buggy will momentarily be forced off course. Do not be concerned. The buggy
knows where to go and will get back on track quickly.
Navigation off [Nav Off] - By pressing "Nav Off", the navigation system is turned off. The indicator
light under the Nav Off button will illuminate red each time you use a command whilst navigation is
off. The Top Box speed setting [S1-9] will also have a red line under it indicate Nav Off.
Important: When you use the controls on the buggy‟s handlebar, the navigation system turns off
automatically. This will enable you to maneuver the buggy. The mode light on the handlebar will
turn red when navigation turns off.
When you switch between using the handlebar controls and the remote control, the buggy remem-
bers if the remote was in "Nav On" or "Nav Off". If the last command on the remote was "Nav On",
the first command using the remote will also be "Nav On". You can change this by pressing "Nav
Off" to switch off the navigation system [only when buggy is moving forward]. When your buggy is
turned on, the remote control can be used in the same way as the controls on the handlebar.

23. Straight Tracking

Your Navigator G800 is a highly sophisticated and patented electronic gyroscope as the straight
tracking system to steer the buggy when under remote control. The gyroscope is tilt compensated
to enable true sterring over a wide range of grades you expect to encounter on the average golf
course.

24. Understanding GPS

The Sureshotgps™ function of the buggy uses the Global Positioning System [GPS] to work out
how far you are from the green or hazard. The system relies on the buggy receiving signals from
orbiting GPS satellites.
How long does it take to gain reception from the satellites?
Ensure your buggy has been turned on outside for at least five minutes before you wish to use it.
Can I use my Navigator G800 inside the home or office?
The Sureshotgps™ function will not generally gain reception inside. For best accuracy, your
Navigator G800 should have an unimpeded view of the sky.
