1 Warnings and Safety information

This software is a navigation system that helps you find your

way to your destination with the built-in GPS receiver. The

software 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 your software before you start your journey. Plan

the route before your departure and stop if you need to change

the route.

You must obey the traffic signs and follow the road geometry. If

you deviate from the recommended route, your software

changes the instructions accordingly.

Never place your device where it obstructs the driver's view,

where it is in the deployment zone of an airbag or where it might

cause injuries in an accident.

6

2 Getting started

The software is optimized for in-car or pedestrian use. There is

no need to use a stylus. You can use it easily by tapping the

screen buttons and the map with your fingertips.

When using the navigation software for the first time, an initial

setup process starts automatically. Do as follows:

1. Select the written language of the application interface.

Later you can change it in Regional settings (page 117).

2. Read and accept the End User License Agreement.

3. The Configuration wizard starts in the selected

language. Tap

to continue.

4. Select the language and speaker used for voice

guidance messages. Later you can change it in

Regional settings (page 117).

7

5. If needed, modify the time format, time zone and unit

settings. Later you can change them in Regional

settings (page 117).

6. If needed, modify the default route planning options.

Later you can change them in Route settings (page

110).

7. The initial setup is now complete. Tap

to proceed. The Configuration wizard can be restarted

later from the Settings menu (page 109).

8. You are offered to watch the Tutorial that leads you

through the basic steps of navigation, or to run Demo

route simulations. To start using the software right

8

away, you can tap to skip the tutorial as

you can run it later from the 'More' menu (page 107).

After the initial setup, the Navigation menu appears and you

can start using the software. This is the screen you see every

time navigation starts.

The typical way of using the software is to select a destination,

and start navigating. You can select your destination in the

following ways:

• Enter a full address or a part of an address, for

example a street name without a house number or the

names of two intersecting streets (page 36).

• Enter an address with ZIP code (page 52). This way

you do not need to select the name of the city and the

search for street names might be faster as well.

• Use a built-in Place of Interest as your destination

(page 57).

9

•

Select a location on the map with the Find on Map

feature (page 74).

• Use a previously saved Favorite destination (page 75).

　 Select a location from the History of previously used

destinations (page 77).

10

2.1 Startup screen: the Navigation menu

The software starts with its main menu, the Navigation menu.

From here you can reach all parts of the software.

You have the following options:

• Tap to select your destination by

entering an address or selecting a place of interest, a

location on the map or one of your Favorite

destinations. You can also look up your recent

destinations from the Smart History.

• Tap to display the route parameters

and the route in its full length on the map. You can also

perform route-related actions such as canceling your

route, picking route alternatives, simulating navigation

or adding the destination to your Favorites. (This button

remains inactive if there is no destination given.)

• Tap to customize the way the

navigation software works, watch the Demo & Tutorial,

run some additional applications, or to get extra content

from www.nextar.com/extras.

• Tap to start navigating on the map. The

button itself is a miniature live map that shows your

11

current position, the recommended route and the

surrounding map area. Tap the button to enlarge the

map to the full screen.

• Tap to stop navigation and exit the

software.

2.2 Buttons and other controls on the

screen

When you are using the software, you usually tap buttons on

the touch screen.

You only need to confirm selections or changes if the

applies the new settings without confirmation as soon as you

use the controls.
