1 Warnings and Safety information Clarion Mobile Map is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your destination with its GPS receiver. Clarion Mobile Map 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.

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.
