What type of flash card should I buy for storing additional

with a pre-installed memory card containing everything you need
to navigate in the country where you purchased the unit. If you
wish to build additional map data libraries (e.g. All USA + Canada

flash card of the same type that shipped with your system and
with enough memory to store your maps (as stated in database

What is the best place on the windshield to mount my
Caliber Personal Navigation System? Answer – Caliber is
committed to make your driving as safe as possible roads. Any
Caliber device should be placed in a position on your windshield
that does not block your view of the road, in any way, and that
enables an optimal usage of your device. Our advice is to mount
your Caliber product at the lowest possible position on your
windshield. Your Caliber device should not be placed directly
under your rear-view mirror.
My unit does not receive a GPS signal, what should I do?
Answer – Sometimes it takes a minute a two to lock onto 3 or
more GPS satellites (you can see how many satellites are being
received by selecting the Main Menu – Settings – GPS
Diagnostics). If you continue to have problems getting a GPS
satellite fix, please make sure that you are outside and the GPS
antenna has a good visibility to the open sky.
Some heat-reflecting windshields and built-in windshield heaters
block the GPS signal reception inside the car. Very often, such
heat-reflecting windshields have a hole behind the rear-view
mirror or the heat reflection is limited on the left (or right) side of
the windshield to let signals pass through. If you can not get a
signal after mounting the device, use the supplied GPS antenna
lead extension and mounting plate, then place your GPS antenna
on that position.
Alternatively, you can use an external GPS antenna or buy a
longer extension lead to extend the GPS cable and place the
GPS receiver in the back of your car (remember: your GPS
receiver should always have a free view of sky and that you have
free and clear view of the road).
Why do I sometimes find map or POI errors in Caliber
products? Answer – In order to obtain the correct map data,
Caliber and its map suppliers, rely on local government and other
local organizations throughout North America and the world to
supply us with the correct, relevant and most up to date
information for millions of roads, streets and lanes.
There are only a few map suppliers in the world that have
excellent map data, one of them being NAVTEQ. The map data
that Caliber uses is the best and most current data available on
the market. Over the course of time, roads are changed or new
roads are added; our map supplier has over 1,500 hundred
people driving through North America and analyzing satellite
images to register these changes. This process is time
