As with many of the menus,

there are more options than can

be shown on one screen. Try

selecting

a few times, to

cycle through all the different

things you can do.

Your position (and direction)

is indicated by the

icon.

Getting started

The application starts by displaying the navigation view.

The screen will appear in black and white until your GPS

receiver locates your current position. Once this is done,

the navigation view is shown in full color. In future, your

position will be found much faster, normally within a few

seconds. Everything can be accomplished easily using just

your finger. Importantly, you can bring up the main options

menu by tapping your finger somewhere in the middle of the

screen.

NOTE: Some newer vehicles may have a heat reflective
shield embedded in the windscreen. In some cases this
can prevent proper GPS signal reception. If this turns out
to be a problem in your vehicle, try mounting your GPS
receiver behind your rear view mirror or parcel shelf.

How to plan your first route

1. If you haven’t already done so, go outside so that the GPS

hardware can locate your position. This may take some time,

and will happen more quickly if you remain still. The screen

displays your current position on its map, represented in a

‘3D’ navigation view, from a driver’s perspective. When

you start moving, the navigation view will match the streets

outside as you would see them through your windshield.
