1 Warnings and safety information Uniden Navigation is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected destination. It will determine your exact location with the help of an attached GPS device. The position information obtained from the GPS receiver will not be transmitted anywhere, so others will not be able to track you by the help of this program. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate Uniden Navigation before beginning your journey.
2 General information Uniden Navigation is a navigation system optimised for in-car use. It provides doorto-door navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route parameters. Uniden Navigation is capable of planning routes throughout the whole map region installed on the memory card. Unlike some other products, Uniden Navigation does not require that you change maps or switch to a poorly detailed general map to navigate between map segments or countries.
3 Operating Uniden Navigation (Controls) Uniden Navigation is designed for easy operation. All controls are operable by fingertips. Wherever possible, pushbuttons and lists are provided to make accessing functions or changing settings as easy as possible. 3.1 Screen buttons and controls The primary input channel of Uniden Navigation is the touch screen. If you read on, you will realise that most parts of the screen are not only used to display information but also to initiate functions by tapping.
3.1.3 Sliders When a feature has several different unnamed (numeric) values, Uniden Navigation will show sliders that look like analogue potentiometers to set the desired value. If the value limits are not displayed at the ends of the slider, the leftmost position means the minimum value, while the rightmost position represents the maximum value. With most sliders you can check the current value on the left. This control can be operated in two ways.
planning a route) on the Route Parameters screen (Page 62) cannot be changed for some vehicle types. When such a vehicle is selected, not only the lamp but also the whole line becomes inactive and dark. These switches look different on a square display. The lamp is placed not left of the label but below it, and its shape is also different. Use these buttons the same way as you would other switches. Tap them anywhere to toggle between the enabled and disabled states. 3.1.
3.1.7.1 ABC-type keyboards These keyboards contain only letters (Latin, Hebraic, Greek or Cyrillic). If you wish to enter numbers, you need to tap the Keys ( ) button to switch to the numeric keyboard. Use Backspace (arrow pointing left between Space and Keys) to delete the last letter you have entered if you have made a mistake, tap Space to enter more words, and hit Done to finish entering the text. This type of keyboard has large, finger-friendly buttons.
3.1.7.3 The numeric keyboard The numeric keyboard only contains numbers, on huge buttons. The special keys you find on the other keyboards (except Space) are available here as well. Although QWERTY-type keyboards also contain number keys, when entering a house number, the program offers the more convenient numeric keypad.
4 Discovering the program through the screens The best way to discover Uniden Navigation is to explore each screen in detail, and to find out how to move from one to another. Read this chapter for a guided tour. Uniden Navigation starts by displaying the Main menu. This is the root of the screen hierarchy, but you only need to return here in a few cases. Many of the screens are also accessible from each other to reduce the number of actions needed to initiate a function or change a setting. 4.

4.3.1 GPS data displayed The virtual sky on the left represents the currently visible part of the sky above you, with your position as the centre. The satellites are shown at their current positions. The GPS receives data from both the green and grey satellites. Signals from the grey satellites are only received, while green ones are used by the GPS to calculate your current location. On the right you can see the satellite signal strength bars.
Note: When the GPS connection cannot be established with the last used parameters (protocol, port and speed), Uniden Navigation keeps on trying to connect. To save the battery power in cases when you use Uniden Navigation without a GPS, Uniden Navigation first tries to open the port in every few seconds, but later only twice every minute. If you later switch on the GPS, the connection is still established without any user action but the repeated attempts will not run the battery down. 4.3.
Turn on the Auto Correction switch to let Uniden Navigation frequently check and correct the GNS8430/8435 time with the GPS time. Below that button you will see the current values of the GPS and the GNS8430/8435 clocks. You can check here whether any correction is needed. Tap the button to manually synchronize the time. Below the GNS8430/8435 time you have hour and minute controls to manually correct the time with or without a valid GPS time.
Note: Using the Advanced settings, you can force Cockpit mode to always start in 3D Track-up view (Page 65). You can still rotate and tilt the maps in either mode, but the next time you enter this screen, the preset look will reappear. Note: Similarly you can force Map mode to always start in 2D North-up view. 4.4.
You can change between day and night views manually in the Quick Menu (Page 43) or let Uniden Navigation do it automatically (Page 55) for you. Note: The automatic day/night mode is based upon the current date and GPS position by which Uniden Navigation calculates the exact sunrise and sunset times on the particular day at the particular location.
Streets and roads have names or numbers for identification. Of course, this information can be displayed on the map. Uniden Navigation uses two different ways to show street labels. The conventional way is the same as a roadmap – it displays the name of the street aligned with the street. The alternative is a kind of virtual signpost stuck into the street itself. You need not choose between the two modes. Uniden Navigation will use the one best for the current tilt and zoom level.
4.4.6 Current position and Lock-on-Road When your GPS position is available, a blue arrow (yellow when using night colours) shows your location on the map. The direction of the arrow represents your heading. The arrow is sized and vertically rotated with the zoom and tilt levels to always look realistic. Uniden Navigation has a built-in Lock-on-Road feature that always puts the position arrow on the road, on the axis of the street in case of one-way streets, or on the side of the road where you drive (e.g.
Note: When your GPS position is available, and Lock-to-Position (Page 30) is active, the cursor is the current GPS position, the blue arrow. When you select another point by tapping the map, or using the Find menu (Page 74), the new Cursor is shown on the display with the red dot and the radiating red circles. 4.4.8 Marked map points (Pin) The Cursor can be marked with a Pin. Pins are shown as being stuck in the map.
POIs are represented by icons on the map. For a built-in POI it is the icon of the subcategory of the actual POI. For points you create, it is the icon you had chosen when you created the POI (it can be changed later). These icons are large enough to recognise the symbol, and semi-transparent so as not to cover the streets and junctions behind them. When the map is zoomed out, the icons are not shown. As you zoom in, small dots appear at the locations of visible POIs.
4.4.10 Elements of the Active Route Uniden Navigation uses a multi-destination routing system in which you have a start point (your current location if GPS position is available), a destination, the line of the active leg of the route, and optionally via points and inactive legs. They are all shown on the map. 4.4.10.1 The start point, via points and the destination These points are represented by flags. 4.4.10.
4.4.10.4 Inactive legs of the route Future sections of a route are inactive. They are also shown on the map with the same colour but a darker tint than the active one. An inactive route section becomes active as soon as you reach its starting Via point. 4.4.10.
There are several controls that function in a similar fashion on the two screens. They are described on the following pages. Map screen contents: 7 1 2 3 4 5 10 11 12 13 14 6 9 15 8 Cockpit screen contents: 23 19 1 10 11 12 13 14 6 15 18 17 9 54 16 No.
No.
4.5.2 Zoom in and out (No. 2 & 3) These semi-transparent buttons are only displayed if “Zoom & Tilt” is enabled in the Quick menu (Page 42). Zoom will change the scale of the map. Zoom out shows a larger part of the map, while Zoom in shows a smaller part of the map in more detail.
This semi-transparent icon is displayed if GPS position is available, and the map has been moved. It also appears when you scale or tilt the map while Smart Zoom is enabled. This semi-transparent icon is displayed if GPS position is available, and the map has been moved or rotated. It also appears when you scale or tilt the map while Smart Zoom is enabled.
You can use it in both 2D and 3D modes to scale the map. Drag and pull it right to zoom in, or left to zoom out. 4.5.7 Menu (No. 9) This button opens the Menu with the Find engine, the Quick menu, the Route menu and the exit button that takes you to the Main menu screen. The Menu will be described in detail later: Page 41. 4.5.8 Map orientation and Overview (No. 10) You can view the map screens in three different presentation modes. This switch will cycle through them in the following order.
Tap the icon again to return to Track-up (automatic rotation) mode. 4.5.9 GPS position quality (No. 11) Similarly to the icon found on the GPS Data screen (Page 18), the map screens also inform you about the GPS signal: • The black satellite dish with the red exclamation mark shows there is no connection with the GPS receiver. GPS navigation is not possible. Devices with a built-in GPS receiver are permanently connected, so this icon may not appear under normal circumstances.
4.5.11 Sound muting (No. 13) By tapping this button you can quickly mute all sounds of the GNS8430/8435. This will not modify the volume level and the enabled or disabled status of the voice guidance or the key sounds (all to be set on the Sound Settings screen: Page 59), just mutes the sound output. When muting is enabled, the speaker icon is crossed out. Tap again to re-enable sounds. Note: Sound can be muted in Sound settings (Page 59), too.
Tip: If you want to see the map around the Cursor, close the Cursor menu and reopen it. When this menu is opened manually, the map is always moved to have the cursor in the centre. The content of the Cursor menu depends on the screen (Map or Cockpit) and it is slightly different if there is an active route already planned. You have the following options: • Start: use the Cursor as the departure point for your route. This menu point is available only in Map mode and when there is no active route.
• Edit Cam: you can edit the parameters of the camera near or at the Cursor, or delete it. This menu point replaces Add Cam and is available only if the selected point is near or at a speed camera. A window will open up that contains the same settings as in Add Cam. In addition, it will have a Delete button that removes the camera from the map. • Pin: push a coloured pin in the map at the selected point for later use.
While navigating a route, these fields show the estimated time needed to reach the destination (ETE), the distance to destination, and the estimated arrival time at the destination (ETA) by default. You can choose what to display in these three fields during navigation, by going to Advanced settings / Display Options (Page 66). See the following list for your options. The only restriction is that you cannot select a value that already appears in another field.
4.5.18 Approaching next turn (No. 20) This bar is only visible when approaching the next route event. It appears on the screen to visualise the distance when you get closer than 300 meters (1000 feet) to the next turn, and it remains visible till you reach the turn. This field is displayed only when navigating a route. 4.6 Route Information screen The Route Information screen has all the data and some of the functions you need while you navigate.
4.6.1.1 Route line The upper part of this screen shows your planned route as a horizontal line. Its leftmost point is the start of the route, the rightmost one is the final destination, and you can see your via point flags along the line, spaced in proportion to their distance. The blue (yellow at night) arrow representing your position will travel from the left to the right, giving you visual feedback of your journey.
4.6.1.5 Estimated Arrival This is an estimated value that can also be displayed in one of the Route data fields on the Cockpit screen as ‘ETA to destination’. It shows the estimated arrival time at the final destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route. The calculation cannot take into account traffic jams and other possible delays. If via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the estimated arrival at the first, second, etc. via point.
• This icon warns you that Uniden Navigation had to recommend a route that does not match all your preferences given at the Route Parameters settings. • The recommended route contains areas only accessible to pedestrians. • The recommended route contains unpaved roads. • The recommended route contains roads that require a permit or permission to enter. • Information – any other piece of relevant but not categorised information. Tap the icon to see the content.
4.7.1 Find tab The first page of the Menu is Find. It lets you select a destination without first having to locate it on the map. The Find menu will be described in detail later here: Page 74. 4.7.2 Quick tab This provides quick access to some configurable options. 4.7.2.1 3D Map (switch) When the green light is on, the map shows a perspective view. You can use hardware buttons 1 and 2 to change the angle of the view. When the green light is off, the map is displayed in a conventional top-down view.
4.7.2.3 Night Mode (switch) Turn on or off the night colours manually to override the automatic colour scheme switching. Note: Using this option turns off the Automatic Night Colours feature. You need to re-enable it at the General settings screen (Page 54) to have the colours change automatically again. 4.7.2.4 Manage POI (Points of Interest) Here you can set all the parameters of POIs that you have created and the visibility of the built-in POIs that come with the map.
Groups shown with a grey icon are hidden; blue icons are visible on the map, while the ones shown in two colours have some of their subcategories shown and some others hidden. If you highlight any of the POI groups by tapping them, the button in the bottom left corner will become Show if the POI group is hidden, or Hide if the group is shown or partly shown. Tip: To make a partly shown group fully shown, tap this button twice.
When the My POI Groups are displayed, you have the following options: • Show/Hide: similarly to built-in POIs, you have the possibility to show or hide all POIs of the selected category on the map. Groups with a blue icon are displayed; groups with a grey icon are hidden. • New: you can create a new My POI group by tapping this button. You need to select an icon, a name, and the maximum zoom level at which the POI is still visible on the map (provided you let the POI group be displayed at all).
Here you have the following options: • OK: if you tap this button, the map screen returns with the selected POI in the middle. • Edit: you can edit the attributes (name, icon and group) of the selected POI. • Delete: you can delete any of your previously saved POIs. Uniden Navigation will ask you to confirm this action. 4.7.2.
The original name of a track log is the date and time when it was recorded. You can change their name to something more meaningful if you wish. Each track log has a colour, shown to the left of its name when the track log is visible on the map. If the track is not visible, an underscore character is shown here. Tapping the line of the highlighted track log will toggle between showing and hiding that log. The track log will be drawn on the map using the colour next to its name.
• or export the data to the SD card in GPX format (Track export button). • Replay: push this button to see a simulation of the saved track log on the map. A green icon (Page 34) will appear on the map screens to let you know it is not a fly over but a simulation based on a real saved log. • Delete: you can delete a track log if it is not needed any more. Uniden Navigation will ask you to confirm this action.
4.7.3 Route tab This menu contains options to manage different settings in the program. 4.7.3.1 Recalculate This menu point is only available if an active route exists and GPS position is present. It brings up a menu with four options. Using one of these functions you can modify the current route. Recalculate This function repeats the route calculation based on the same settings as used to calculate previously. This possibility is typically used when automatic off-route recalculation is disabled.
Note: This function is to give you an alternative for the next section of the recommended route. To change later parts of the route or to avoid specific streets or turns, use the Avoid function in Itinerary instead (Page 50). Note: When you use this feature, Uniden Navigation will keep on excluding the same part of the map from later routes until you manually delete the route (Page 50), or restart Uniden Navigation.
The Itinerary is live and constantly updated when navigating a route. The list item coming next in navigation is the highlighted one until you highlight another one by tapping. After that, the highlight remains on the item you have selected. • Detailed Instructions: this is the list displayed when Itinerary is opened. It is the list of events in full detail. All significant junctions are shown in the list, even ones to be passed.
Note: You need not open Itinerary if you run into a roadblock or traffic jam. To get an immediate alternative route use the Bypass function of Recalculate (Page 49). Note: When you use this feature, Uniden Navigation will keep on excluding the same part of the map from later routes until you manually delete the route (Page 50), or restart Uniden Navigation.
Use the arrows on the right to browse through the list and tap any line to highlight it. You can perform the following operations: • Add: you can add a new route point (or a new final destination if the highlighted item is the last one in the list) after the selected point. The Find menu opens automatically to let you search for an address, POI, coordinates, one of your favourite destinations, or select a point from the History list.
5 Settings Uniden Navigation provides several settings in order to let you customise the functions of the program. The Settings screen can be accessed directly from the Main menu screen (Page 15) and from the map screens by using the battery icon (Page 33), while some of its sub-screens are accessible from other parts of the program. 5.1 General settings These are the basic settings of Uniden Navigation. 5.1.
5.1.2 Set Favourite Destinations You can select two of your most frequent destinations to be your favourites (Page 83). You can start navigating to either of them by only two taps on the screen. The original names of these points are Home and Work. You can rename them and specify their locations.
You can set two different kinds of behaviour for the warning: one is applied up to a certain speed limit and the other one is used above that. 5.1.4.1 Speeding tolerance Uniden Navigation will warn you when you exceed the speed limit by the amount specified here. Select whether you want to specify the tolerance as a Fixed value (offset to the speed limit) or as a Percentage. The slider will change depending on which mode you have chosen.
5.1.5 Route Recalculation Once a route is planned, this setting will tell Uniden Navigation what to do when you deviate from that route. 5.1.5.1 Automatic The route will be recalculated automatically a few seconds after you go astray. 5.1.5.2 Ask First Uniden Navigation can also ask your preference each time you leave the planned route. The route will not be recalculated until you make your choice from the menu that automatically appears (also explained here: Page 40).
5.2 Map settings You can set a few parameters determining the appearance of the maps in Uniden Navigation. 5.2.1 Daylight / Night colour profile Uniden Navigation comes with different colour schemes for both daylight and night use. There is always one selected daytime scheme and one selected night-time scheme. Uniden Navigation uses these when switching from day to night and back. Tap the appropriate button and select a new scheme from the list. 5.2.
Note: You can only disable street names and POI icons if Uniden Navigation follows your position. As soon as you move the map and Lock-to-Position (Page 30) is disabled, street names and icons become visible again. Tap Lock to re-enable Lock-to-Position and have the labels and icons disappear again. 5.2.5 Textured Polygons Enable textured polygons, and have rivers, lakes, forests and other large objects displayed in a more realistic and attractive way on the map.
5.3.3 Key sound volume/switch The switch on the left can turn the key sounds on or off. Key sounds are audible confirmations of either pressing hardware buttons or tapping the touch screen. When key sounds are turned on, the slider on the right will adjust their loudness. In its leftmost position the key sounds are suppressed, in its rightmost position they are played at the master volume level. Note: The sound effects of Uniden Navigation are context sensitive.
5.4 Route parameter settings This is a very important page. Settings here determine how routes will be calculated. This screen is directly accessible from the Route Information screen (Page 38). 5.4.1 Method Use the handle to set the speed of the route calculation. In the leftmost position the route may not be optimal but the calculation will be very fast. Sliding it to the right will result in more accurate routing in an increased amount of time.
(e.g. motorways for pedestrians), or some of the restrictions may not be taken into account (e.g. emergency vehicles have no restrictions). Available values: • Car • Taxi • Bus • Lorry • Emergency • Bicycle • Pedestrian 5.4.4 Road types to include/exclude To let the route fit your needs you can also set which road types are to be considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible.
Turning back on dual carriageways is not considered as a u-turn. Note: If you are not totally against u-turns, leave them on here, and add a certain penalty (equivalent extra distance to travel) in Advanced settings Route options (Page 70). Note: Via points are handled as stopovers with regards to u-turns.
5.5.2 Voice language This button shows the current language of the voice guidance. By tapping the button you can select from a list of available languages and speakers. Tap any of these to hear a sample voice prompt. Just tap OK when you have selected the new spoken language. 5.5.3 Units You can set the distance units to be used by the program. Uniden Navigation may not support all of the listed units in some voice guidance languages.
5.6.1 Display options These settings determine how Uniden Navigation displays different content elements or how it presents the screens. 5.6.1.1 2D in Map mode (and North-up orientation) The normal use of the Map mode is to browse the map and look for different places on it. It is usually done in a top down view having north towards the top of the map. By default Uniden Navigation uses the same look for the map in both Map and Cockpit modes.
5.6.1.4 Coordinate display format Positions are sometimes displayed with their addresses, and sometimes with their coordinates. This setting lets you choose between displaying coordinates in degrees (dd.dddddd); degrees and minutes (dd mm.mmm); or degrees, minutes and seconds (dd mm ss.s). Note: the coordinate display mode is independent from the coordinate input in Find menu. You can use all three formats freely on the coordinate input screen. 5.6.1.
Backlight always on You can choose to have the lights always on. Use device settings You can preserve the GNS8430/8435 device settings (previously set in the operating system at Start/Settings/Backlight). Smart powersave You can also initiate this special feature of Uniden Navigation. When running on battery Smart Powersave will light up the screen only when you press or tap a button, or if Uniden Navigation has something to show you.
5.7.4.1 Smart Zoom settings You can set how close Smart Zoom can zoom in when approaching the next turn (Zoom-in limit), and the maximum zoom level to zoom out when the next turn is further away (Zoom-out limit). The default values are set to be optimal in most cases. 5.7.4.2 Enable Overview mode You can configure how the Overview mode is triggered when the next turn is at a distance. The Route event distance will determine when Uniden Navigation switches to the Overview or back to the Navigation view.
Restore Lock-to-Position Turn this switch on if you want Uniden Navigation to return to your current GPS position after you have moved the map during navigation. This is useful if you have moved the map accidentally, or if you have moved it to quickly check something near your route. After a certain timeout set below, the Lock button disappears, and the map immediately jumps back to show your current position.
5.7.5.1 Off-route sensitivity and Recalculation delay Depending on the quality of your GPS device, the GPS antenna location in the car and the environment you are driving in, route recalculation can behave differently. Uniden Navigation may think you have departed the proposed route and perform a recalculation even if you have not done so. When the GPS reception is poor (e.g.
Note: By turning off Lock-on-Road you also turn off the GPS position error filtering. The position shown on the map will be subject to all position errors and position fluctuations. 5.7.6 User data management Everything that was saved (pins, My POIs, Favourites, track logs etc.) or modified (Settings, History lists) since Uniden Navigation was installed is stored in a user database located in the internal memory of the GNS8430/8435.
5.7.6.3 Remove Pins Normally Pins can be deleted one by one. Since they are shown at all zoom levels, and you may end up having too many of them, this button lets you delete all of them together. Uniden Navigation will warn you that you are about to lose all your Pins. 5.7.6.4 Clear Data This button will delete all user data. It is a reset to factory settings. Tapping this button means you lose all your saved data and customised settings. Uniden Navigation will warn you about this. 5.7.6.
6 Find One of the most frequently used functions of Uniden Navigation is selecting the destination. Once you have the destination, you can start navigating. Getting to this point should be as fast as possible. Uniden Navigation provides you with a versatile search engine designed to find your chosen destination after only a few taps on the screen.
Tip: If you want the selected point shown in the centre of the map, close and reopen the menu or wait until it closes and open it again. By opening the Cursor menu manually, the map will be moved to have the selected location in the centre. 6.3 Using the Find menu The Find menu is accessible by the Find & GO button at the Main menu (Page 15) or by the Menu buttons of the map screens (Page 32). The Find menu gives you various possibilities for selecting a location. 6.3.
You enter the module at Level 3. From this point you can go forward (down) to give the name of the street, then the house number or intersection, or backward (up) to change the city, state or country to search. 6.3.1.1 Selecting the city, state and country to search in The first screen of the address-search module is the list of recently used cities (and states in Australia). The first line of the list is always the city you are in or near to.
You can accomplish this by using an alphabetic input screen (either an ABC- or a QWERTY-type). You only need to enter the first few letters, as the program only searches among the settlements that exist in the given state or country. If the name of the settlement is of more than one word, the searched pattern can be any or the combination of those. You can search for multiple partial words by inserting space characters in the pattern.
Once you have selected the city, you can continue by entering the street name as described here: Page .78 Changing the state (Australia, USA, etc.) Some of the maps contain state information. If the settlement you are looking for is in a different state, tap Other City then Change State from the list of recently used cities, then select the appropriate state. Should you wish to search for an address in the whole country, just tap “All states” at the beginning of the list.
6.3.1.2 Selecting a street or the centre of the settlement Once the settlement (or state in Australia) is selected, you can continue by specifying the street you are looking for. Selecting the centre of the settlement If you wish to navigate to the settlement displayed in the top centre of the screen, just tap Done before entering any letters. The search result will be the centre point of the city (where its name is displayed on the map).
Enter the number, tap Done, and Uniden Navigation will show you the selected location on the map (or will start navigating immediately if you have selected Find & GO at the Main menu). Note: House numbers may not be available on the map of your region. Ask your local dealer for details. Tip: If you do not know the house number, just press Done, and the midpoint of the street will be used as the selected location. 6.3.1.
• As several settlements have Paris in their name, the list of cities is not shown automatically. Tap Done to get the list of settlements containing ‘Paris’. • The first settlement in the list is Paris, as it is the exact match. Tap it. • Now you need to enter the name of the street. • You need not enter accents, the apostrophe, and you can enter more of the words in any order separated by spaces.
When you enter this page, the coordinates of the current GPS position (or the selected map point, the Cursor, if Lock-to-Position is inactive) are shown at the top of the display. The coordinates are always shown in the format configured in Advanced settings Display options (Page 66), but you can enter the coordinates in any of the three formats. You can even enter the latitude and longitude in different formats. Entering a latitude/longitude pair is easy. The left field contains the latitude.
The search will be carried out around a certain reference point. Always look at the current reference point shown in the green field above the POI category buttons and confirm that it matches what you want. To change the reference, tap the Change ref. button in the top right corner. Once you tap the Change ref. button, you are presented with these choices: • Address: you can specify an address to be searched around, or a settlement to search in.
• Filter from all the POIs of that level: tapping the Filter button will bring up a text input screen to let you narrow the list of POIs. If you tap Filter in the list of subgroups, you will only search in the group you are already in. • See all POIs of the current group in a list: tapping the All button opens the list of all points in the group or subgroup you are already in. Use the Next and Previous buttons to browse through the list.
Using the Find & GO function at the Main menu it is only two taps to start navigating to one of your Favourites. Note: If you try to access a favourite destination that you have not yet set up, Uniden Navigation will lead you to the setup page.
7 Troubleshooting guide Thank you again for purchasing our product. We hope you will enjoy every minute of using it. However you may face difficulties before you get really accustomed to Uniden Navigation. In such cases, please, refer to this table of frequently encountered problematic situations. I cannot find the blue(yellow when using night colours)arrow that would show my location. Navigation does not start.
Creating a multi-point route I have tapped the ‘Route To’ button once for each destination but only the last one appears in the list, all previous points have disappeared. The ‘Route To’ button is for starting a new route only. For a single route you tap this when the destination is selected. Multi-point routes can be created after you have established a single route. Add points to the single route by using the ‘Add Via’ and ‘Continue’ buttons. Applying ‘Route To’ again will delete the whole route.
I would like to create a new POI but there are others near its location, and the new menu point (POI) opens the list of POI instead of creating a new one. Look for the New button in the bottom left corner of the newly opened list. Using that button you can add your new POI as if it was opened from the Cursor menu. Sometimes the operating system disables the autorun feature. The best you can do is to soft reset* your GNS8430/8435 . That should restore autorun functionality.
8 Glossary The manual may contain many technical terms. Please look below for an explanation if you are unfamiliar with some of them. 2D/3D GPS reception: The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position. Depending on the current positions of the ever moving satellites in the sky, and the objects in your environment, the signal that your GPS device receives may be weaker or stronger.
Automatic day/night colours: Based on the time and position given by the GPS device, Uniden Navigation is able to calculate when the sun rises and sets at your current location on this particular day. Using that information Uniden Navigation can change between the day and the night colour schemes a few minutes before sunrise and a few minutes after sunset (Page 55).
Lock-to-Position: When GPS position is available, Uniden Navigation will automatically keep moving the map to always have the blue (yellow at night) arrow, representing your actual position, on the screen. You can move the map to lose this position. Then the Lock button appears on the screen. Tapping it will re-enable Lock-to-Position. See also Page 30. Map Orientation: Uniden Navigation is able to rotate the map for your convenience.
Track-up: A kind of map orientation when the map is rotated to look always in the direction of your heading. See also North-up and Map Orientation. Via point: Routes in Uniden Navigation can have several (as many as you want) different destinations to reach in a specific order. All these points except the final destination are called via points, as the route goes ‘via’ (through) them.
