DirectHelp
The NAVIGON DirectHelp feature offers speedy access to emergency POIs. You can
quickly find a telephone number, find an address, get directions, and drive to help.
DirectHelp also provides you with directional distance to the nearest intersection, and
your latitude/longitude location. This information can help emergency personnel
quickly come to your assistance.
DirectHelp is available at any time, while you are on-route or off, and with or without
GPS reception. The last known GPS position is used when GPS reception is not avail-
able. With GPS, you can quickly find help and calculate a route to a DirectHelp POI.
The DirectHelp Window
GPS Position Type
The location type indicates whether GPS reception is available or not. If the location
type is:
Simulated Position: Displays only once when neither current or historical GPS
position is available. Shown at time of purchase or when-
ever the device is reset.
Your current location: GPS reception is available. Your current location is shown
in the
Location Address field.
Your last location: GPS reception has been lost. The last GPS location is
shown in the
Location Address field.
Location Address
With GPS reception, the distance to the intersection closest to your present location is
shown. If GPS is not available, this is the approximate distance to the closest intersec-
tion from the last known GPS position. If the device is located:
On an Unnamed Road
Unnamed Road appears with the distance and direction to
the nearest navigable intersection.
Off Road
Off Road appears with the distance and direction to the
nearest navigable intersection.
