Software Instruction Manual

We would like to thank you for the purchase of your Cartrek navigation device. This user

manual contains important information on the correct use of this product. Please read this

information carefully before using your Cartrek navigation device. Furthermore, you are

advised to also read your product’s hardware user manual.

Important:

Removing les or formatting of your memory card will render your product unusable and it is

impossible to replace the les yourself. Furthermore, this ends the warranty of your product.

Please be advised that we will charge a fee for a new memory card.

Important: GPS reception requires a clear view of the sky, like in-vehicle or outdoor situations.

This navigation device will not be able to receive GPS signals inside buildings or in other

places where the view of the sky is blocked. Cars with shielded windows will hinder the

GPS reception. This can be solved by using an external GPS antenna. For these, and other

additional accessories, visit our web shop at http://www.cartrekgps.com.
