1 Warnings and Safety information CALIBER Navigation is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your destination with its built-in GPS receiver. CALIBER Navigation does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you. It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate CALIBER Navigation before you start your journey.
2 Getting started with CALIBER Navigation CALIBER Navigation is optimised for in-car use. You can use it easily by tapping the screen buttons and the map with your fingertips. CALIBER Navigation can plan routes throughout the whole installed map set; you do not need to change maps or switch to a poorly detailed general map to navigate between map segments or countries. Tasks Instructions Using a stylus You do not need a stylus to use CALIBER Navigation. Tap the buttons and the map with your fingertips.
Tasks Instructions right corner to the bottom left corner on any screen. Shortcut to open the Navigation menu: slide your finger from the top left corner to the bottom left corner on any screen.

5 Glossary 2D/3D GPS reception The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and needs at least four signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals.
Overview mode You can instruct CALIBER Navigation to automatically switch to Overview mode if the next route event is in a distance. In Overview mode the map is shown in 2D but scaled down to a predefined zoom level. When you approach the next route event, the previous 2D or 3D map view returns automatically. Route A series of destinations to be reached one after the other. A simple route contains one start point and only one destination.
