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.
12
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
application needs to restart, it needs to perform a major

settings. Otherwise, the software saves your selections and
applies the new settings without confirmation as soon as you
use the controls.
