Go HomeThe fastest way to find your destination and start navigating is to tap Go Home in the Navi Menu.The navigator will immediately show the map screenand start navigation. This means that if you plan yourroute to one of your Favourite destinations, you onlyneed one tap to start navigating.

NoteIf you try to access a favourite destination that youhave not yet set up, the Navigator will lead you to thesetup page.

Cancel RouteThis menu returns directly to the map screen withoutrecalculating the active route. The navigator stops and will be activated again whenyou are back on your original route.

RecalculateThis menu repeats the route calculation based on thesame settings as used to calculate previously. This possibility is typically used when automatic off-route recalculation is disabled. However you may consider using it when you travelon a road parallel to that recommended by the route.In this case the Navigator may not recalculate theroute for some time, but you can force recalculationhere.

Route ManagerThis menu contains options to manage different settings in the program (Page 45).

SetupThis menu provides several settings in order to let youcustomise the functions of the program (Page 55).

Find an Address, Street, Intersection orCitySearching for a city, a street, an intersection, or anexact address can all be done in the Find Addressmodule. If you know at least a part of the address, thisis the quickest way to find the location.Selecting the city, state and country tosearch inThe first screen of the address-search module is thelist of recently used cities (and states in Australia).The first line of the list is always the city you are in ornear to.1. Should the settlement you are looking for appear

on the list.2. Just tap it and you will immediately jump to the

Street Name Input screen with the selected cityname or postcode shown at the top of the screen.

Note If the desired settlement is not displayed, use the v

and V buttons to browse through the list. Tapping the in the left corner returns to the

search results. If you find that the list of recently used cities contains

settlements you will not visit in the near future, youcan choose to empty the list by the Clear button inthe bottom.

35

Search for a location

Selecting a new settlement to search inIf you are looking for a city or town (or state) you cannot find on the list, tap More... in the top rightcorner.

This will take you to the city name or postcode inputscreen, where you can select the desired city, thenselect from the list of results automatically given bythe program if the matching items can be displayed onone page, or displayed on more pages if you tapDone after entering some letters. You can accomplish this by using an alphabetic input

screen (either an ABC- or a QWERTY-type). You only need to enter the first few letters, as the

program only searches among the settlements thatexist in the given state or country. If the name of thesettlement is of more than one word, the searchedpattern can be any or the combination of those.

You can search for multiple partial words by insertingspace characters in the pattern. For example Key West in Florida will be found if youenter Ke W or even We K (any word order will do).

You do not need to enter accents when searching fora destination. Type only the base letters (the lettermost similar to the accented one) and the Navigatorwill search for all their combinations in the database(e.g. for the Canadian town Dlage you only needto type Deleage, and the rest is done by the program).

Search for a location

36

Note When more than 300 matching items (a list of more

than 60 pages) exist for the entered pattern(s),Navigator stops searching, and displays >300 at theright end of the input line. Enter more letters to nar-row the list.

When the name of the settlement contains a character that is not available on the keyboard (e.g. apostrophe or dash), Navigator considers it aspace that splits the word. That is why you cansearch for Alleyn-Et-Cawood with all the following search criteria: A E C, Et A, or Al Ca.

If any of the settlements listed has named suburbs ornumbered districts that also appear separately in themap, a Show sub-matches button will appear in thebottom left corner. Tap this button to list the suburbs together with themain settlements. Now the button turns to Hide sub-matches, and tapping it will return to the original, shorter result list.

37

Search for a location

Changing the state (Australia, USA, etc.)Some of the maps contain state information.If the settlement you are looking for is in a differentstate, tap Other City then Change State from the listof recently used cities, then select the appropriatestate. Should you wish to search for an address in thewhole country, just tap All states at the beginning ofthe list.When the state is selected, you need to select a settlement by entering a part of its name or postcode,then selecting from the list of available matching itemsas described before.

NoteIn Australia you can skip this part by tapping Donebefore entering any letters. This way you can search for a street name in thewhole state. In other countries this step is compulsory. If you tap Done before entering any letters, the list of settlements will appear in alphabetical order.

Changing the countryIf your destination is in another country, tap theChange Country button in the top right corner of thestate selection screen (Australia, USA, etc.), or thecity selection screen, and select the country from thelist.

Selecting a street or the centre of thesettlementOnce the settlement (or state in Australia) is selected,you can continue by specifying the street you arelooking for.

Search for a location

38

Selecting the centre of the settlementIf you wish to navigate to the settlement displayed inthe top centre of the screen, just tap Done beforeentering any letters. The search result will be the centre point of the city(where its name is displayed on the map).

NoteThis point is not the geometrical centre but an arbitrarily selected point chosen by the creators of themap, usually the most important intersection in caseof a small town or village, and for larger cities animportant intersection in the city centre.

Selecting a streetIf you are looking for an address or an intersectionwithin the selected settlement (shown at the top of thepage), you need to first enter the street name you arelooking for. If you are looking for an intersection, choose the

street that has a rare or unusual name first. This way you need to enter fewer letters to get thelist of results. You may also choose the shorter ofthe two streets first. This way it will be faster to choose the second onefrom the list of crossing streets after the first streethas been selected.

You can search for both the type and the name of aroad. If you have the same name appear as Street,Avenue, Boulevard, Road, Place and Court, you canget the result faster by giving the first letter of this,too. For example searching for Pi A will result inPine Avenue skipping all Pine Streets and PineRoads.

39

Search for a location

Should the name of the street be a prefix for severalother street names, just enter the whole name, pressDone, and the exact match will be the first in thelist. This way you can easily find even very shortstreet names.

Selecting a house number or the midpoint of the street1. Once the country, the city and the street name are

selected, you are asked to give the house numberusing the numeric keypad.

2. The range of available house numbers for the chosen street is shown in the input field before youbegin entering the figures.

3. Enter the number, tap Done, and the Navigatorwill show you the selected location on the map (orwill start navigating immediately.)Note

House numbers may not be available on the map ofyour region. Ask your local dealer for details.

If you do not know the house number, just pressDone, and the midpoint of the street will be usedas the selected location.

Find in HistoryIf you have used Find before, or saved map pointsas POIs, marked points with a pin, or picked and usedpoints of the map before, they all appear in theHistory list. This list is ordered by the time the points were last

used. The most recently used locations are alwaysat the beginning of the list.

Just pick any of the recent locations as your destination. Here you have no possibility to reorderthe list or filter it by name.

NoteIf you will need a location later but you do not want tosave it as a POI, just mark it with a pin, and remember its colour to find it easily in the History list.

Find CoordinatesThe Navigator also lets you enter your destination bymap coordinates. The coordinates need to be in latitude/longitude format and, based on the WGS84 earth model (theone used by most GPS devices). When you enter this page, the coordinates of the

current GPS position are shown at the top of the display.

The coordinates are always shown in the formatconfigured in Advanced > Display Setup (Page 62), but you can enter the coordinates in anyof the three formats. You can even enter the latitudeand longitude in different formats.

Search for a location

The search will be carried out around a certain reference point. Always look at the current referencepoint shown in the blue field above the POI categorybuttons and confirm that it matches what you want. To change the reference, tap the Change ref. buttonin the top right corner.

Once you tap the Change ref. button, you are presented with these choices.Address : You can specify an address to be searched, or a settlement to search in. The centre of this settlementwill be used as the reference point.History : The reference for the search can be selected from theHistory list.Coodinates : You can specify a latitude/longitude pair to be the centre of the search.Current GPS : The search will be carried out around the current location given by the GPS if it is available. If no GPSposition is available, the last known GPS position willbe used.Cursor : The search will be carried out arround the previouslyselected map point.Destination : The search will be carried out arround the destinationof your current route.

Once you have set the reference point, you have thefollowing potions on the Find POI screen.

TBT SummaryDisplay modes are different only in the number ofevents displayed in the list. List items are alwaysshown with all information available including pictograms of the needed action and distance of theevent from the previous list item.The Itinerary is live and constantly updated when navigating a route. The list item coming next in navigation is the highlighted one until you highlightanother one by tapping. After that, the highlightremains on the item you have selected. Detailed Instructions :

This is the list displayed when Itinerary is opened.It is the list of events in full detail. All significant junctions are shown in the list, even ones to bepassed.

Instructions : By tapping the Mode button once you will see thelist of events that need your attention, i.e. the list ofmanoeuvres during the route. These are the events shown in the Turn previewfield and announced by the voice instructions.

Route summary : Tapping the Mode button again will show anoverview of the route that contains only the significant roads and intersections.

Tap Show button to see the highlighted list item onthe map. This will help you identify route events in thelist.

46

Tap Avoid button to show a list of possibilities formodifying the route. They let you recalculate the routeavoiding the highlighted event and sometimes alsosome of the subsequent ones. Manoeuvre :

This option avoids the highlighted action. For example if you find a turn too difficult during rushhour traffic, the Navigator will recalculate the routeexcluding that turn. If the next street is important inthe route, it is likely that the Navigator will replacethe turn with several easier ones to get to the samestreet.

Road : When you exclude a road, the Navigator will calculate a route that does not use that road. It is useful when you anticipate a traffic jam in astreet used in your route, or a roadblock isannounced on the radio, and you find that road inyour Itinerary.

Distances : You can also find some distance buttons in this list.They are similar to the ones in the Detour list of theDetoure menu (Page 54), but these can also beused for distant parts of the route.

NoteYou need not open Itinerary if you run into a roadblock or traffic jam. To get an immediate alternative route use the Detour function of RouteManager (Page 54).

SimulationThis feature has no navigation function, it merely provides a quick view of the route. It will present a simulation of the route showing whatyou will see later when navigating. In this mode the simulation is run at normal speed

(using the speed limit of the streets and roads in theroute), and voice instructions are also played.

This mode is mainly useful for demonstrating theNavigator, or to learn the way it works before yourstart your first journey.

Tap anywhere on the screen to stop the simulation.

Manage POI (Points of Interest)Here you can set all the parameters of POIs that youhave created and the visibility of the built-in POIs thatcome with the map.You can decide which POI groups to show and whichones to hide on the map. You can set the visibility of the top two levels. All levels below that will be shown or hidden according to their respective category (i.e. you can setthe visibility of Petrol Stations in the Services category, but all brands listed under that will either beshown or suppressed together).Groups shown with a grey icon are hidden; blueicons are visible on the map, while the ones shownin two colours have some of their subcategoriesshown and some others hidden.If you highlight any of the POI groups by tappingthem, the button in the bottom will become Show ifthe POI group is hidden, or Hide if the group isshown or partly shown.

Tapping again the highlighted POI group (except forMy POI described later) opens the list of subcategories of that group. Here you cannot seebicolour subgroups, as visibility can only be set for thetop two levels of categories. Showing and hiding asubgroup is done the same way as for the maingroups.

Manage My POIBy highlighting then tapping again the My POI buttonon the Manage POI main screen you can manage thePOI groups and items that you have created.

Tapping any of the group names will open a list ofPOIs saved in that group. This list is similar to the listof POI results in list menu. The POIs are orderedbased on their distance from your current position. If GPS position is not available, the POIs will beordered by their distance from the Cursor. Show/Hide :

Similarly to built-in POIs, you have the possibility toshow or hide all POIs of the selected category onthe map. Groups with a blue icon are displayed;groups with a grey icon are hidden.

New : You can create a new My POI group by tapping thisbutton. You need to select an icon, a name, and themaximum zoom level at which the POI is still visibleon the map (provided you let the POI group be displayed at all). You do not necessarily need to create POI groups in advance. You can do it whilesaving a new POI.

Edit : You can edit the attributes (name, icon, visibilitylevel) of a previously created My POI group.

Edit Way PointYou can edit the list of all points used in the route. The first item in the list is the departure point of theroute without a valid GPS position, the last reachedvia point if you open the list during navigation, or the point where the Navigator mostrecently recalculated the route. This means the list ispermanently updated, and via points drop out duringthe journey. The last item in the list is your final destination. Add :

You can add a new route point (or a new final destination if the highlighted item is the last one inthe list) after the selected point. The Navi menu opens automatically to let yousearch for an address, POI, coordinates, one of yourfavourite destinations, or select a point from theHistory list. As soon as you select any of these, theNavigator returns to the Edit Route screen andyour selection appears right under the highlightedline.

Attention Tone : If this is set to Disabled, the voice guidance willsound without a preceding attention tone. Setting itto Single Tone will initiate a single attention tonebefore the instructions, while Double Tone will use adouble tone.

Route parameterThis is a very important page. Settings here determinehow routes will be calculated. This screen is directlyaccessible from the Route Information screen (Page 50). Route :

Shortest : Choosing Short will result in a route thathas the smallest total distance of all possible routesbetween the given points.Fastest : Choosing Fast will result in the quickestpossible route, given that you can travel at or nearthe speed limits on all included roads.Economical : This setting is a wise combination ofthe previous two. Although basically going for thefastest solution, if there is another route taking a bitmore time but a lot less distance compared to thefastest one, the Navigator will choose this oneinstead to save fuel.

Vehicle : You can set the type of the vehicle that you will useto navigate the route. Based upon this setting, someof the road types will be excluded from the route(e.g. motorways for pedestrians), or some of therestrictions may not be taken into account (e.g. emergency vehicles have no restrictions).

Setup

60

Furthermore, when Bus or Lorry is chosen, the program assumes that high speeds cannot beachieved, and this information is taken into accountwhen calculating the route, the estimated timeenroute (ETE), and the estimated time of arrival(ETA).

Unpaved Roads : Unpaved roads are excluded by default, as they canbe in a bad condition and you usually cannot reachthe speed limit on them.

Highways : When driving a slow car or towing another vehicle,you may prefer not to take highways.

Ferries : The accessibility of temporary ferries is not necessarily included in the map data. Furthermore you may need to pay fare, so you mayconsider disabling them from the preset enabled status.

U-turns : Although displayed amongst road types, this is atype of action. Most drivers prefer to replace themwith a few normal left and/or right turns in the nextfew junctions, so it is disabled by default.Turning back on dual carriageways is not consideredas a u-turn.

Permit needed : To use some roads or enter some areas you mayneed special permit or permission from the owners.These roads are excluded from your routes bydefault. Use this switch if your vehicle is authorisedto enter.

61

Setup

Toll Roads : Toll roads are included in your routes by default. Ifyou wish to travel more to avoid paying a toll, disabling them will make the Navigator plan the besttoll-free route for you.

Carpool Lanes : They're also called "HOV" lanes- usually found onthe extreme left side of urban freeways or parkways.The cars that travel in those lanes MUST have 2 ormore people in them- or they'll be ticketed.

Cross-border planning : By default Navigator plans routes using the border crossing points. However, if you live near the border,you can disable border crossing with this switch toremain within one country.

Language & UnitsHere you can set the languages, measurement units,and date and time formats used by the Navigator. Program language :

This button displays the current written language ofthe program. The Navigator will have to be restartedif you change this setting. The Navigator will ask forconfirmation before it restarts.

Backlight Setup Brightness:

You can set the backlight level separately for bothdaylight and night modes, thus enhancing the effectof the night colour scheme. The values are between0 and 10, where zero means there is no backlight atall, and 10 represents the maximum backlight value.

Smart ZoomSmart zoom is a lot more than just a usual automaticzoom.

Smart Zoom : You can set how close Smart Zoom can zoom inwhen approaching the next turn (Zoom-in limit), andthe maximum zoom level to zoom out when the nextturn is further away (Zoom-out limit). The default values are set to be optimal in most cases.

Restore Smart Zoom : Use this switch if you want the Navigator to re-enable Smart Zoom after zooming or tilting themap during navigation. This is useful if you havechanged the view accidentally, or you modified it toquickly check something near your route.

Restore Lock-to-Position : Turn this switch on if you want the Navigator toreturn to your current GPS position after you havemoved the map during navigation. This is useful ifyou have moved the map accidentally, or if you havemoved it to quickly check something near your route.

Navigation program and map data protection If you want to operate this product properly, there should be the same

programs (Contained in LGE folder) and maps (Contained in LGE folder) inthe SD memory card (Built-in memory) which are provided by LGE.

Don't erase or modify the contents in LGE folder!(It contains important data for Navigation. It is going to be out of order in caseof misuse.)

Don't delete inner data of the product by using ActiveSync.(It contains important data for navigation. It means it will be out of order incase of misuse.)

Cannot identify the current location. (GPS not receiving)GPS cannot be used indoors and must be connected to the power with ACC toa vehicle in a location where the sky can be seen well. When initially connecting the GPS, it usually takes about 10 minutes to operatenormally, but the connection speed can differ depending on the weather condi-tion, and surrounding obstacles. If the GPS connection is unstable for a long period of time, try the following. Check if the power is connected to the product. Check if the back of the GPS product is in a location where the sky can be

seen well. If there are high buildings or if you are under a tree, move to a location where

there arent any obstacles. Check the GPS receiving condition from the GPS menu.

Troubleshooting

Cannot hear the voice guide.You can hear the voice guide when you select Setup.But during actual driving, the voice guide is provided. If the volume is too low, adjust the volume on the right unit.Cannot see the map.This is when you cannot see the map even when you have executed the navigation menu.This happens when the data within the memory is damaged. Delete all thedata within the memory and reinstall the data. If the problem persists after the installation, contact the Customer Service Center.

Map data and dangerous area information are not updated.You must periodically update the map data.Refer to the homepage for details on how to update the data.

The path guide can be different from the actual path. (Path guide error) When the road is closely parallel. When the splitting road angle is very small. When there is an adjacent road when turning. When driving on a road that is narrowing fast. When driving through the mountain or where the road is too curvy. When the starting, passing and arriving locations are too close within 10 km. When you have set the starting, passing or arriving location more than 1 km

away from the road. When driving through the tunnel. When driving through high buildings.

There is a difference between the driving road and the roadon the map in the product. Even though GPS is usually very accurate, it has an error range. When GPS receiver is installed, there can be an error of about 5 to 15m. Butfor newly constructed roads, the problem could be from the data update to themap.

What is GPS?The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation systemmade up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications,but in the 1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.

Map matchingThe GPS used by this Mobile Navigation System is susceptible to certainerrors. Their calculations may on occasion place you in a location on the mapwhere no road exists. In this situation, the processing system understands that vehicles travel only on roads, and is able to correct your position by adjusting it to a near road. This is called map matching.
