1.5 Using Your Device in a Vehicle
CAUTION:
Select an appropriate location for mounting the device in a vehicle. Never place the device
where the driver’s field of vision is blocked. Make sure that the GPS antenna has a clear
view of the sky.
If the car’s windshield is tinted with a reflective coating, an external antenna (optional) may
be needed to route the antenna to the top of the vehicle through a window. When closing
the window, be careful not to pinch the antenna cable.
Using the Device Cradle or TMC Cradle
Depending on the model you purchased, a device cradle or a TMC cradle is
supplied. Use the cradle and the stand to fix your device in a vehicle. (See a
separate document for the installation instruction.)
With the TMC cradle (for select models only), you can connect the TMC antenna
to receive radio transmissions that are used to inform drivers of traffic conditions.
TMC information is monitored by the navigation software. Once the information
is received, you can view it on your device and traffic icons will appear in the map
view. Certain roads with reported traffic will be highlighted and you can choose to
avoid those roads and an alternate route will be automatically calculated. (See the
navigation software manual for detailed information.)
