Warning

: Traffic laws and current traffic conditions must always be observed and take precedence over the instructions issued by the navigation

system. The user should be aware of situations where current traffic conditions and the instructions from the navigation system may be in

conflict. The use of the navigation system does not relieve the user of his/her responsibilities. The user is ultimately responsible for the vehicle

under his/her control and should be aware of the surroundings at all times. For traffic safety reasons, it is recommended that routes should be

planned in a stationary vehicle before starting a trip.

Privacy

of MOTONAV. The server is operated by Airbiquity, Inc., a Motorola-approved service provider (www.airbiquity.com). This information will only

be used to provide the requested service and will not be shared with any additional third parties. Users who prefer not to permit such tracking

and monitoring should avoid using the navigation system.

Responsibility

: Certain features of MOTONAV require wireless network access on your mobile phone. The user is responsible for all access

charges.

ordinances, which may restrict the use of cellular phones and other devices.

safety

first, a few rules to live by...

Using any device while driving may cause distraction. It is important to look at the display only when it

is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, plan the route before your departure and stop if you

need to change the route.

Using a mobile device or accessory may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas. Always obey the

ws and regulations on the use of these products.

Do not place your MOTONAV where it obstructs the driver's vision or where it covers an airbag.

Note:

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. Other people can’t

track you.

set it up

let’s get you up and moving

You can use your MOTONAV software in a car or on foot in either portrait or landscape mode— just

rotate the phone. And you don’t need to use a stylus—just tap the screen and map with your fingertips.

When using the software for the first tim

e, it walks you through these easy steps:

Note:

The language for the software is automatically taken from the language settings of your

MOTONAV, so you don’t need to select the language.

When navigating a route, your map shows information about the next route maneuver and the next

street or the next city/town.

Vehimarker

When your GPS position is available, the Vehimarker shows your

current position as a blue arrow. (To choose a different icon, see

page 34).

The exact location of the Vehimarker depends on the vehicle type

ou choose (see page 34):

• Pedestrian

—The Vehimarker is at your exact GPS position.

The direction of the icon shows your current heading.

• Vehicle

—The Vehimarker may not show your exact GPS

position and heading. If you are near a road, the marker

appears on it, aligned in the direction of the road.

lanes & signs

On multilane roads, sometimes you need to be in the correct lane in order to follow the recommended

route. If lane information is available, your MOTONAV software displays the lanes and their directions

using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes you need to take.

When information is available, you may see road signs instead of arrows. When cruising (not in a route),

all

the signs are the same brightness. When in a route, your road sign is brighter than the others.

3D object types

Your software supports these 3D object types:

active route map

When in a route, your map shows these elements:

• Current GPS position & start point

—Your current position on the map (in either pedestrian or

vehicle mode). If GPS position is available, the route starts from the current position. If not, your

software uses your last known position as the start point.

• Destination

—The end point of the route.

•Map color

—The map is vivid and colorful when GPS position is available. If not, the map is appears

gray. (The software may still move the Vehimarker to show a possible but not confirmed position.)

• Route color

—The route always stands out on the map, in both daytime and night color modes.

• Streets & road types normally excluded from your route

—You can choose whether to avoid

certain road types (see page 27). However, when your route cannot a

void them, it includes them but

shows them in a different color from your route color.

• Streets & roads with traffic events

—When a road has a traffic event, it appears in an alternate

color. Small symbols along the route show the type of the traffic event.

3D terrain

3D terrain maps shows changes in terrain, elevations, or depressions in

the land when you view a 2D map or plot a route in 3D. 3D maps show

hills and mountains in the background;, 2D maps show them in color

and shading.

Elevated roads

Complicated intersections, overpasses, and bridges appear in 3D.

3D landmarks

Landmarks are 3D artistic or block representations of prominent or

well-known sights.

3D landmarks may not be part of the original software or may need

ctivation. They are only available in selected cities and countries. Visit

www.motorola.com/motoextras/mobile for details.

3D buildings

You may be able to see block representation of full 3D city building data

containing actual building size and position on the map.

Building data is not part of the origina

city centers of major cities. Visit
