WARNING!
A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD
TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION.
CAUTION
When showing turn-by-turn navigation data, a GPS unit will show the
shortest, most direct route to the destination. There are times when it may
give directions, such as a U-turn, that may be prohibited in some loca-
tions. While navigating, a driver is responsible for noting all traffic signs
and obeying all local traffic laws. When following turn-by-turn directions,
a driver must take advantage of all available navigation tools, and must
visually check to make sure a clear, safe path to the next destination is
available.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to configure, adjust or enter information into
this unit while driving. Driver assumes all responsibility for
using safe and prudent driving and navigation methods. When
a GPS unit is used in a vehicle, the vehicle operator is solely
responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner. Vehicle
operators must maintain full surveillance of all pertinent driv-
ing conditions at all times. An accident or collision resulting in
damage to property, personal injury or death could occur if the
operator of a GPS-equipped vehicle fails to pay full attention
to travel conditions and vehicle operation while the vehicle is
in motion. Do not attempt to configure, adjust or enter infor-
mation into your GPS unit while driving.

like a removable disk drive when connected to a computer. The USB
cable is used to transfer files from a computer to the SD card. Addi-
tional SD cards will be needed to store music, picture and GPS files.

arrow icon. The unit creates a Trail line by recording a string of trail
points along your path. The unit can save 100 trails with 10,000 points
per trail. The default setting is 2,000 points per trail. When the trail
exceeds the maximum point setting, the unit will begin recording a
trail over itself. Up to 100 Trails can be saved to an SD card. Trails can
then be deleted from the unit's memory and a new set of trails re-
corded. GPS data files can be backed up on a computer using the USB-
to-PC cable.
Trails can be reloaded from an SD card to the unit's memory. To pre-
serve a Trail from Point A to Point B, first create a new trail at Point A.
Go to Options Page 2, select MY TRAILS and press the NEW TRAIL button.
When you arrive at Point B, stop recording and save the trail just cre-
ated. This happens automatically when you start another trail with the
NEW TRAIL button.
The two ways to navigate a saved Trail are "visual trailing" and the
Navigate Trail command. Visual trailing is the easiest. Zoom the map
in closely so the trail is clearly visible. Begin moving and glance at the
map screen. Walk or steer so the black arrow icon stays on the Trail
line. The Navigate Trail command converts a trail into a route. Select
MY TRAILS. When you select a trail from the Trail Menu the Edit Trail
menu will appear. Press the NAVIGATE button. The Edit Route menu ap-
pears. With the first point in the route selected, press the DIRECT TO but-
ton and the unit begins navigating.
