Why won’t my unit turn on?
There are two key steps to powering on the unit for the first
time – inserting the included memory card and turning the unit’s
master switch to on. To do this, use the device stylus (stored in
the lower left corner on the backside of the device), a ballpoint
pen or similar item, move the switch on the bottom of the device
to the “On” position. This process is highlighted on page 3 of
this User Guide.
How long will the system take to receive the first GPS signal?
The system can take up to approximately 10 minutes to initialize
when the unit is used for the first time, if the unit has not been
used for a long time, or if the unit is being used for the first time
in a new city (i.e. after getting off a plane).
How long should the unit take to “lock” into the satellite sig-
nals?
You get the best signal when the device has a clear, open view of
the sky. Additionally, the car should not be moving to allow the
GPS signal to lock-in accurately and quickly within a few minutes.
Why does my GPS receiver show I'm moving when I'm not?
The GPS satellites may on rare occasion broadcast a signal error
that can account for up to 2.5 mph of movement.
How can I avoid a road?
You can simply turn onto a different road and the GPS Naviga-
tor will automatically and quickly calculate a new route for you.
Also, any time you tap quickly on the map the En Route menu
screen will come up giving you the option to Detour. Either way
you will be rerouted.
How can I find a restaurant in a city I’m planning to visit?
You can find a list of restaurants using the Point of Interest
feature. From the Main menu, press the Navigate button. Or,
if you are anywhere else in the application you can reach the
Navigation menu quickly by pressing the on the right side of
your unit. Select Point of Interest, then In a different city. Select
the name of the city > category of Food and subcategory > and
then specific name. You can save the location for routing to later
– see Turn-by-Turn Navigation section.
What accessories are available with the unit and how can I pur-
chase them?
Please visit www.randmcnally.com/gps.
How many addresses can be stored in the unit?
That depends on the space available on the memory card. There
is a potential for millions of saved addresses, however that
number will fluctuate depending on what you save to the card,
routes, MP3’s, etc.
