The Global Positioning system (GPS) is a network of satellites that orbit the Earth
at about 12,000 miles (19,300 kms) and transmit accurate time and position
information worldwide. The GPS receiver in your M-Nav 900/950 picks up signals
from any satellites in view and uses the information to determine your location,
accurate to within 15 ft (5 m). Usually, only three signals are needed to provide
a latitude and longitude position (GPS fix) for vehicle navigation systems.
Point of Interest (POI) is a useful resource along or nearby the route, such as a
fuel location or a post office. You can add a POI to your route as a via point.
A specific location that you want to visit along the route. A via point can be any
location that you specify, such as a customer site or a POI.
The next via point along your route.
The final via point along your route. It is always marked with a chequered flag.
The complete list of via points that you specify; including the start location, the
final destination, and any via points between.
When you have defined all the via points in your trip, the M-Nav 900/950 will
calculate the best route automatically after it obtains a GPS fix. Your route shows
the path to drive. Only one route can be shown on the map at a time.
Tracking and communications device.
Desktop application used by fleet administrators to send messages and monitor
vehicle locations.
Touch the screen and move in the indicated direction (e.g. Swipe up) without
