Getting Started
Acquiring Satellites
1. Go outdoors to an open area,
away from tall buildings and trees.
2. Turn on your nüvi.
Acquiring satellite signals can take a
few minutes. The bars indicate
satellite strength. When at least one
of the bars is green, your nüvi has
acquired satellite signals.
Selecting a Usage Mode
Automobile
Pedestrian
Bicycle
Your nüvi offers several usage modes
for navigation. Routing is calculated
differently based on your usage
mode. For example, in Pedestrian
usage mode with cityXplorer ™ maps
loaded, your nüvi calculates a route
that uses a combination of public
transit options, such as riding a bus
or subway, and walking. cityXplorer
maps are not included with your nüvi.
See www.garmin.com to purchase
cityXplorer maps.
