Portable NavMate Navigation system uses GPS signals and internal sensors
to determine location of the vehicle. This allows the system to be easily
transported from one vehicle to another. To turn the Portable Mode ‘on’, just
press on the Main Menu, then use the arrow keys to select Portable. On the
Portable screen, use the arrow key to turn on.
Screen 33. Portable Mode Screens
Note: If you have an Installed (Hard-Wired) NavMate unit, please make sure
that this mode is always turned off.
When your NavMate is in the Portable Mode (GPS only) and you lose the
GPS signal, NavMate will show the GPS Signal Lost screen with its step-by-
step Planned Route instructions, but will not prompt you for upcoming turns
until the GPS signal is restored.
Pressing the button will take you temporarily to the Map Screen, though
the position icon will not move. After a few seconds, the screen will return to the
GPS Signal Lost screen.
Portable NavMate uses GPS satellites to find and maintain the position of
your vehicle. When your vehicle is surrounded by tall buildings or dense trees,
travelling through a tunnel or inside a parking garage, these satellites are not
visible to the system. During extended outages the system’s ability to maintain
the correct position is degraded, depending on the outage’s length.
