GPS receiver power supply - 12 - Installing the hardware in a vehicle User's Manual MobileNavigator|6 2.7 How your navigation system works The days of searching through thick folding maps are gone. Now your navigation software MobileNavigator|6 can guide you to your destination quickly and reliably - without leafing through maps. The American military developed the Global Positioning System (GPS) in the 70s to be used as a guided weapons system. GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites that circle the earth and, in doing so, are constantly transmitting their position and their time. The GPS receiver receives this data and calculates its own geographical position from the various position and time information broadcast by the various satellites. For a sufficient precise positioning it is necessary to obtain the data from at least three satellites. If you have the data from 4 or more satellites the altitude above sea level can also be ascertained. The positioning is precise up to 3 metres. MobileNavigator GPS operation Navigating with GPS If MobileNavigator|6 has determined your position, this position can be used as a starting point for a route calculation. The map material on the server of the NAVIGON AG includes the geographical coordinates of all digitally recorded points of interest, streets and places. From this the server can calculate a route from a starting point to a destination. The calculation of the current position and its representation on the map takes place once every second. So you can see where you are on the map. 2.8 Note Important safety information It is in your own interest to read the following safety information and warnings carefully before you start up your navigation system. Before you start - 13 - User's Manual MobileNavigator|6 2.8.1 Navigation safety information Use the navigation system at your own risk. Attention: Do not operate the navigation system whilst you are driving ­ this could cause an accident! Attention: Do not look at the display unless it is absolutely safe to do so! Attention: The rules of the road and traffic signs must be obeyed prior to following the instructions of the navigation system. Attention: Do not follow the instructions of the navigation system unless the circumstances and the street traffic regulations allow you to do so! The navigation system will guide you to your destination even if you have to go off course from your calculated route. Note: If you have not understood the speech instructions or are unsure what you should do at the next crossroads, you can use the map or arrow view to orientate quickly. 2.8.2 GPS receiver safety information Attention: After installation, check all the safety-relevant facilities in the vehicle. Attention: Attach the GPS receiver in such a way that you can still drive safely. 2.8.3 Safety information for a switch-on in the vehicle Attention: Make sure you do not attach the cradle for the mobile telephone or for the GPS receiver in the functioning area of the airbag. Attention: When installing the cradle, ensure that it does not represent a risk in the event of an accident. - 14 - Important safety information User's Manual MobileNavigator|6 3 Operating the navigation software page 16 page 17 Topics covered in this chapter: 3.1 Mobile telephone operating elements 3.2 Operating the software Selecting and operating Options Menus Data input 4 Operating the navigation software - 15 - User's Manual MobileNavigator|6 3.1 Mobile telephone operating elements The Home and Back keys are not available on all mobile telephones. The arrangement of the keys on some mobile telephones does deviate considerably from this schematic representation. Refer to the user manual for your mobile telephone for more detailed information. Softbuttons The left and right softbuttons are located directly beneath the display. These softbuttons execute the functions that are specified directly above them in the display. Your mobile telephone has a cursor pad that provides the functions Up, Down, To the right and To the left. In many cases, you can also execute the function OK by pressing directly on its centre.

You can make all the entries using your mobile telephone keyboard. You can however only enter lowercase characters. As, when entering in MobileNavigator|6 it concerns almost exclusively figures or proper names, the T9 functionality of your mobile telephone is deactivated. However, as soon as you close MobileNavigator|6, the keyboard returns to the state it was in prior to launching the navigation software. Characters As usual, each character key has several characters assigned to it. Tap on a key until the desired character appears (e.g. to enter "s" you need to tap the "PQRS" key four times). How you enter figures, spaces and special characters very much depends on your mobile telephone. Please refer to the user manual for your mobile telephone. When entering place or street names you do not have to differentiate between upper- and lowercase letters. You also don't have to enter any special characters or umlauts. MobileNavigator|6 will find the place or the street even if you enter basic characters. If, for example, you are searching for "Würzburg", then simply type in "wurzburg". Special characters or umlauts can of course be useful when naming destinations or routes that are to be saved. Deleting The character directly in front of the cursor can be deleted by pressing the Delete softbutton (right softbutton). The position of the cursor in the entry field can be changed with the To the left and To the right keys. Move to next entry field If you have completed the entry field, press the Down key. The focus moves to the next operating element of the window. If the next operating element is again an entry field, then the cursor flashes in this field and you can enter the respective data.

Attention: Do not operate the navigation system whilst you are driving ­ this could cause an accident! Attention: Do not look at the display unless it is absolutely safe to do so! Attention: The rules of the street and traffic signs must be obeyed prior to following the instructions of the navigation system. Attention: Do not follow the instructions of the navigation system unless the circumstances and the street traffic regulations allow you to do so! The navigation system will guide you to your destination even if you have to go off course from your calculated route. Obstructed GPS reception When the GPS reception is obstructed, or if you switch off the GPS receiver prior to reaching your destination, the navigation is interrupted. The navigation software remains open. As soon as the GPS receiver works again, the navigation system notices a possible change to your current position and recalculates the route. You can simply continue navigation. Ending navigation If you end the navigation prior to reaching your destination, the MAIN WINDOW opens. You can then enter a different destination. You can also resume navigation to the original destination by choosing LAST DESTINATIONS from the list. The system makes an announcement when you have reached your destination. Only your current position (orange arrow) is now shown on the map. Press the Back softbutton (right softbutton) if you would like to close the map. You then reach the MAIN WINDOW. Arriving at your destination MobileNavigator|6 end If you would like to end the navigation software, press the Exit softbutton (right softbutton) in the MAIN WINDOW. - 22 - General information on navigation User's Manual MobileNavigator|6 4.1.2 Map material and route calculation MobileNavigator|6 Java Edition is a so-called offboard navigation system. This means that the map data is located on a server of the NAVIGON AG and not in your mobile telephone. The route calculation doesn't take place in your mobile telephone either. The connection with the map server is made via the Internet. Note: Generally your mobile telephone is configured in such a way that it can make an Internet connection. If this doesn't work you must either configure the Internet connection or enable the configured connection. Refer to your mobile telephone user manual or the homepage of your mobile telephone provider for more detailed information on configuring Internet access. When you open the map in the navigation software, the navigation software requests from the GPS receiver the geographical coordinates of your current location. Using this data it then requests a map detail from the server on which the current location is included. A triangle in orange shows your position on the map. The map detail changes continuously as you move. If necessary, the navigation software requests additional data from the map server. If you calculate a route, then this route is called up from the server together with the necessary map details. The route is highlighted in orange on the map. 4.1.3 Costs of data traffic Note: The Internet connection and downloading the map and route data do cost money ­ ask your mobile telephone provider for details of prices. We recommend that you conclude a mobile telephone agreement where the transmission of a specific data volume is included in the price. It is even better if you can conclude a data flat rate. NAVIGON makes available the map data from the map server free of charge. The software will notify you if there is a charge for the calculation of the routes to a specific destination. You can also view the data for your software agreement and the arising costs at any time on the Internet pages of the NAVIGON AG (www.navigon.com) in your MyNavigon account.

Note: It can take up to 20 minutes to initialise the GPS receiver for the first time. Each time you switch on the receiver after this the GPS reception will start within half a minute. If the GPS receiver hasn't been switched on for over a week, the next initialisation can take up to 10 minutes. The GPS starts initialises as soon as the GPS receiver is switched on. If your GPS receiver is connected to the mobile telephone, in the upper right corner of the display you will see the GPS icon. It can show three different states: Icon Meaning No GPS Explanation No GPS receiver is connected to the mobile telephone OR the GPS receiver is switched off. The data is being received from less than three satellites. The position cannot be calculated. The data is being received from at least 3 satellites. The position can be calculated. No Signal GPS ready Within 15 seconds the GPS icon changes from No GPS to No Signal. As soon as data is being received from at least 3 satellites, the GPS icon changes to GPS ready. Note: The first initialisation can take up to 20 minutes. If the GPS icon shows the status GPS ready after considerably less than 20 minutes, then it is best to switch off the receiver for at least 15 minutes so as to guarantee a reliable operation of the receiver. Attention: If you have connected the GPS receiver to the power supply via a cigarette lighter, then remove the connector before you leave the vehicle standing for a long period of time. The GPS receiver needs power constantly so it could run down the vehicle's battery. Refer to the GPS receiver user manual for detailed information regarding the functioning and the power supply of the GPS receiver.

You don't have to enter the location or the street in full. The first characters suffice. You must have at least 2 characters. The more characters you enter, the shorter the results list! With some characters the list of suitable addresses can be very long (e.g. if you enter only the letters "Neu" or the number "97", because there are a lot of locations in Germany that start with "Neu" or the post codes of which start with "97"). You also don't have to enter all the address data. If you just enter the town, the navigation server will calculate a route to the geographical centre of town.
