If you are a new StreetPilot owner, practice using these features while your vehicle is stationary. Map Tools Bar Reference Using the Remote or the Touchscreen The StreetPilot comes with a “map tools” bar, which is a series of icons on the left-hand side of the Map page that enable you to zoom in to and out of the current areas shown on your Map page.
Reference ‘North Up’ versus ‘Track Up’ The presence of the arrow shown at right indicates that the map tools bar is activated. Touch the arrow, and the map tools bar disappears. An orientation icon will appear. The middle image shows an N with an arrow pointing upwards, or ‘North Up.’ Touch the N and the direction changes to ‘Track Up.’ Map page showing map tools bar displayed area.
to Track Up (or vice versa) by touching the orientation icon. Note that the map tools bar must be hidden before you can change these icons. Map Scale A map scale appears on the lower left of the Map page. It shows you the current zoom level showing on the Map page (such as 500 miles, .8 miles, or 200 feet) as well as what map your StreetPilot is using to create the current image. Your StreetPilot includes a “base map” and a “detail map.
Reference Information Icon Information Icon “i” As was discussed earlier in this section, you can pan across the Map page by using the touchscreen with your finger or by using your remote control. As you pan, the map pointer appears. It serves as a target marker for the map. If you change the scale, the map is redrawn with the pointer at the center. When the pointer is placed on a map object, the name of that object is highlighted and an “i” (Information) icon appears in the upper right corner.
From the information page, you can also touch Go To to create a route to the Arch. A Route Preference window will appear. Once you select a preference, your StreetPilot will create a route to the Arch. (See Creating your own Routes, page 28, for more information on creating routes) Reference Using the Mini Keyboard Waypoints As was discussed on the previous page, an “i” icon appears as the Map pointer hovers over an existing map object such as a business, park, lake, church, or other point of interest.
Viewing the Map Page While Driving Reference Map Pages in Driving and Routing Mode Viewing the Map Page While driving, you will see one of two types of Map pages: a Map page in “driving” mode, which appears when you have the StreetPilot turned on but you are not navigating a route, and a Map page in “routing” mode, which appears when you have created a route and are currently navigating to it. In driving mode, the Map page shows map details, the map scale, and your current location.
Both types of Map pages display a vehicle icon which indicates your present position and direction of movement as a triangular icon in the center of the map. Depending upon your map scale setting, you can see a variety of geographic detail such as lakes, rivers, highways, and towns.
Reference Next Turn Page Touch anywhere on the Map page (except the map scale) to activate the map tools bar and map pointer, and hide the data tabs. Your StreetPilot safely navigates you through roundabouts, interstate traffic, and all other types of road navigation. The NEXT TURN page announces the same instructions for an upcoming turn 3 times: · Immediately after you make a turn, the Next Turn page announces the next upcoming turn, as well as the distance to that turn.
An added bonus to the Next Turn feature is that the StreetPilot “voice” announces upcoming turns. Thus, if you cannot safely view the Next Turn page, you can hear the directions. The Next Turn page above disappears after a few seconds and then the page which you were previously viewing will reappear. If you wish to clear the Next Turn page and return to the previous page, press PAGE (you can also press QUIT on the remote). If you wish to see the Next Turn page again, simply press SPEAK and it will reappear.
Reference Trip Information Page Trip Information Page While navigating a route, you can access yet another page, the Trip Information page. If you are making a long trip, you may find the Trip Information page to be very useful. It indicates your current speed and many helpful statistics about your trip. Be certain to reset the Trip Computer before beginning a trip (see next page). If you make frequent stops, leave the StreetPilot powered on in order to receive satellites.
Stopped Time – The length of time that the vehicle has been stopped (or stationary) during the time the StreetPilot has been tracking your location since the Trip Computer was last reset. Reference Total Time – The total length of time that the StreetPilot has been tracking your location since the Trip Computer was last reset. This is always equal to Driving Time plus Stopped Time. Trip Information Page To reset the Trip Computer or the Maximum Speed: 1.
Reference Driving with Dead Reckoning The only way you can tell that your StreetPilot is using Dead Reckoning is to view the GPS Information page. See page 56 for more information on GPS. Driving with Dead Reckoning (2660 Only) The StreetPilot 2660 comes with dead reckoning capabilities, which means that you continue to get navigation guidance even if you lose GPS reception, such as when you are travelling in dense urban environments with tall buildings and tunnels.
Finding Places Use the FIND feature on your StreetPilot unit (or remote) to take the guess work out of locating a city street, restaurant, or hotel. You can even use FIND to see what rest areas are approaching as you near an exit on the Interstate. Reference Finding Places scroll bar Finding a City Select the Cities icon from the Find menu. A list of cities will appear, as well as each city’s direction and distance from your current position as indicated by the Near Here tab.
Reference Finding Places list will include names like Fort Morgan and Fort Collins, Colorado, but it will also include names like Glen Comfort. The more letters you enter in the Filter page, the fewer the amount of names that will be returned. Advanced feature: As a alternative to panning and then touching an area in Colorado when using By Other, you can enter the coordinates of a specific area if you know them. Press the MENU key and then select the Enter As Text icon. Then, enter your coordinates.
Finding an Address or Intersection Touch the Addresses or Intersections icon from the Find menu. In both cases, a page appears that allows you to enter pertinent street information To enter the number or street name, touch the black text field that appears to the right of the Number and Street fields. A mini keyboard will appear; touch the pertinent numbers/letters to complete the street names.
Reference Finding Places Finding Interesting Places to Eat, Sleep, Shop, and Visit A fun feature of your StreetPilot is being able to locate interesting and exciting places all over the U.S. without having to ask for directions to get there. If you are new to a town and you need to find a bank or car wash, touch the Services icon from the Find menu. If you are driving through town on vacation and you want to stop and eat, touch the Food & Drink icon.
In addition to the Near Current Route tab, here are additional tab options for finding places: •Near Here: Whereas Near Current Route lists places along your entire route, Near Here finds places that are near your current physical location. •Near [Destination]: Use Near [Destination] to find places that are located at the end of your route. Thus, if you are travelling to Phoenix, the Near Phoenix tab will return places that are only within the vicinity of Phoenix.
right side of the screen to select an exit. Reference Finding Places You can narrow the number of exits by touching the down arrow (ź) on the All Exits tab to view only a list of Exits with Services, Rest Areas, or Other Exits such as weigh stations and Welcome centers. If you want to see what exits are available on upcoming highways or intersections, touch the down arrow (ź) on the On [Current Interstate/Hwy] tab and touch Change Highway.
When you find the name of the waypoint you seek (no matter which search method you used), touch the waypoint name and a Waypoint Review page will appear, displaying the longitude and latitude coordinates of the waypoint. Touch Show Map if you want to see the waypoint on the Map page, or Go To if you want your StreetPilot to navigate to the waypoint. Touch Delete if you want to remove this waypoint from your StreetPilot’s memory.
Reference Finding Places Planning a Trip As you have discovered while reading this section, you can search for places by using a variety of “find” methods. If you are planning a trip and would like to find lodging, restaurants, and interesting places ahead of time, consider using the “chain find” method below. (Note: Follow these instructions while you are in a stationary position and are not in “routing” mode.) 1. Find the city which you plan to visit.
Finding “Recently-Found” Places Your StreetPilot keeps track of the places you find and stores the 30 most recent finds in its memory. Thus, if you want to create a route to a place you have recently found, touch Recent Finds from the Find menu. Or, press down and hold the FIND key on your StreetPilot or remote control. Your 30 most recent finds will appear. The most recently-reviewed item will be at the top of each list.
Reference Creating Routes Creating your own Routes Use the ROUTE feature on your StreetPilot unit to create vacation routes, routes to a job interview or garage sale, or anywhere! Once you create and save the route, you can retrieve it when you need it and you won’t have to stop to ask for directions or consult a map. ) Access the Route Menu above by pressing and holding down on the MENU/ROUTE key from your StreetPilot or remote control.

StreetPilot or remote control. A Menu page, shown at right, will appear: Select Delete All to delete all routes in your Route List. Modifying a Route After you have practiced creating and saving simple routes, then you are ready to learn how to modify them to suit more specific needs.
Reference Creating Routes Adding Via Points Via points are extra stops you’d like to make on your way to a final destination. You can add up to 250 via points. When you have entered all of them, your StreetPilot can arrange them in the most efficient order (called auto arrange) so that you can visit each point without a lot of extra driving. Before you can add via points to a particular route, you must first activate that route.
Arranging Via Points If you add more than one via point, you may want to arrange the order of the stops (or points) on the route to minimize route length. In the example at right, numerous stops have been added to a trip to the Kansas Speedway. The order is random because all via points have just been added. Note that the highlighted via point, Olathe J, is fourth on the list.
Reference Measuring Distances Measuring Distances Between Two Places You can get an idea of how far two points are from each other by using the Measure Distance feature. This feature measures from point to point in a straight line. It does not consider roads. To measure the distance between two points, make sure you are currently viewing the Map page. Then, press the unit or remote MENU key. A Menu page will appear. Select Measure Distance from this page.
To move the thumb tack to the new location (Bistro), touch the check mark at the top right of the Map page. The on-screen pointer (blue thumb tack) will appear at the new location.
