How Do I Put It in My Car?
Safety considerations
► Don’t install any device where it will block your view (including
your mirrors!) while you’re driving.
► Keep your attention on the road! Don’t try to operate or focus
on any device while you’re driving. If you have to concentrate
on a device, pull off the road for a few minutes.
► Some states have rules about what kind of devices you can
affix to your car’s windshield and where exactly you can put
them. If you’re not sure if there are any applicable laws in your
state, contact the state agency that issues drivers’ licences.
► It’s a good idea to take valuable items with you when you
leave you car—that includes GPS devices. If you can’t take
the device with you, lock it in the glove compartment or hide
it somewhere. And don’t forget to take down the windshield
mount: you don’t want to remind any potential thieves that you
might have some valuable mobile electronics in the car.
Don’t leave the device in direct sunlight for a long period of
time or where the temperature could go above 140º F (60º C).

Mounting on the windshield
Make sure the device does not block your view of the road
or your mirrors.
Once you decide where you want the device, hold the suction cup
in that position, then adjust the mount so you have the best view of
the device.
1) Press the suction cup flat
against the windshield.
2) Push the suction lock up
(towards the suction cup) until it
snaps into place.
3) Gently pull on the mount to make
sure it is secure.
If you have trouble getting the
suction cup to stick:
Flip the suction
latch up to lock
the windshield
mount into place.
► Clean the spot with an ammonia-
free cleanser.
► Dry the spot completely (use a lint-free cloth, if possible).
► Make sure the spot is smooth and flat (suction cups won’t stick
well on a curved or textured surface).

When you release the suction latch, make sure you’re
holding or somehow supporting the device.
Lift the suction latch and use the plastic pull tab to pull the suction
cup off of the glass.
Mounting on a flat surface
If you want to put the device somewhere other than your windshield
(or anywhere the suction cup won’t stick), you can use the anchor
disk. Once you glue the anchor disk down, the windshield mount
installs inside the disk just like it does on glass.
When you’re deciding where to put the anchor disk, here are some
things to keep in mind:
► The surface should be as flat as possible. If the disk is upside
down or at a sharp angle, it might not hold the device’s weight.
► The surface should be as smooth as possible. If the surface
texture is too rough, the glue may not stick as well.
► The anchor disk will stick permanently on most surfaces. If
you try to remove the disk, you might damage the surface.
► Don’t peel off the protective sheet until you’re ready to install
the disk. Once you expose the glue, you can’t stop easily.

How Do I Use It?
Most of the functions of the GPS navigation device can be
summarized in two steps:
1) Enter a destination.
2) Decide what you want to do with it (see the map, plot a route to
it, save it as a favorite, save it as your home location, etc.).
Everything starts with your destination. Once you know where you
want to go, you have a whole range of options on how to get there.
Entering a new destination
From the main Menu screen, tap the destination button.
There are three basic ways to enter a new destination:
Enter a complete address as
your destination
Enter the intersection of two
streets as your destination

Plotting a route to the destination
When you enter a destination and come to the Confirm
Destination screen, tap the go button.
The device uses the default route options to calculate a route
from your current location to the destination. This may take a few
seconds, depending on how complicated the route is (how far the
destination is, how many turns there are, etc.).
While it’s calculating the route, the device shows a
horizontal progress bar at the bottom of the screen. Wait
until the device finishes calculating the route before you try
to do anything else.

► Use the move up button to move the selected waypoint before
the one above it. For example, if you want to go to Waypoint C
before Waypoint A, use the move up button to move Waypoint
C to the top of the list, above Waypoint A.
► Use the move down button to move the selected waypoint
after the one below it. For example, if you want to go to
Waypoint A after Waypoint B, use the move down button to
move Waypoint A to the bottom of the list, after Waypoint B.
► When you’re finished editing the waypoints, tap the
recalculate button.
The device re-plots the route, starting from your current
location and going to the first waypoint on the list. Then it
plots the route from there to the next waypoint on the list,
and so on through the list of waypoints. Finally, it plots the
route from the last waypoint to the final destination.
Until you tap the recalculate button, the device will use
the route as originally plotted, without the edited waypoints.

I Have a Question
Why can’t I get a GPS signal lock?
The most common cause of signal lock issues is external radio
interference or signal blockage: if your cell phone or AM/FM radio
are having trouble with reception, your GPS device might have
trouble getting a clear signal also. Some common things that can
interfere with or block satellite signals are
► Radio broadcast towers or signal repeaters
► Localized radio signals (like at an airport)
► High frequency power lines
► Tunnels, large bridges or overpasses, parking garages, etc.
► Tall buildings or canyon walls
► Dense overhead tree cover
Another common cause is window tinting. No, really. Some window
tints have such a high metallic content that they can interfere
with radio signals and increase the amount of time it takes for the
device to get an initial lock. If your windows are tinted, try stepping
outside the car or holding your device near an open window.

I Have a Question
Some helpful things to know about the GPS Status screen:
► There are a total of 27 GPS satellites in orbit, arranged so that
at least 4 satellites can be seen from every point on the planet at
all times. These satellites broadcast radio signals that allow GPS
devices to find them. Atmospheric conditions and radiation can
affect the signal strength on the satellite’s end just as the local
environment can affect the signal strength on the recevier’s end.
► Satellites in view are above the horizon and have the potential
to be tracked. When the device receives a valid, continuing
signal from a satellite, it marks that satellite as tracked. When
the device synchronizes with the satellite and locks onto its
position in the sky, it marks that satellite as active.
► The device must lock onto at least three satellites to estimate
your latitude and longitude. If it locks onto four satellites, it can
also calculate your altitude. Generally, the device must lock
onto four satellite signals to calculate your position accurately.
► The GPS Status screen also shows the accuracy of your
position. An accuracy of 10 feet means that the calculated
position is within a 10 foot radius of your actual position.
► Once the device locks onto the satellites, it can usually maintain
the lock even if the signal strength goes down. Also, if the
device locked onto the satellite signals within the past 30
minutes or so, it can often get a new lock very quickly.

I Have a Question
How can I keep the device still?
If the whole mount shifts out of position, the suction cup probably
isn’t getting a good grip on the windshield. Try removing the mount
getting the suction cup to stick better.
If the device shifts out of position even though the suction cup itself
stays in place, try tightening the bracket joint.

4) If the adjustment lock won’t go back down, the bracket joint is
too tight. Twist the adjustment lock one or two turns counter-
clockwise and try to flip it down again.

Dirt and oils from your fingers can stay on the touchscreen.
Periodically clean the touch screen with a lint free cloth dampened
with water only. If the screen remains dirty, try a mild soap solution
or a cleaning spray designed for electronics.
Do not use ammonia on the screen, and never immerse the
device in water.
