Troubleshooting

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) in the SD memory card (Built-in memory) which are provided by LGE.

???Don't erase or modify the contents in the LGE folder!

(It contains important data for Navigation. Deleting this data will prevent the Navigator from operating correctly.)

???Don't delete inner data of the product by using ActiveSync.

(It contains important data for navigation. Deleting this data will prevent the Navigator from operating correctly.)

Picture format

???JPG: Image file size should be less than 1600 MP (megapixels).

???BMP: Image file size should be less than 500 MP (megapixels).

Cannot identify the current location. (GPS not receiving)

GPS cannot be used indoors and must be connected to the power with ACC to a vehicle in a location where the sky can be seen well.

When initially connecting the GPS, it usually takes about 10 minutes to operate normally, but the connection speed can differ depending on the weather condition, 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 aren???t any obstacles.

???Check the GPS receiving condition from the GPS menu.

68

Troubleshooting

Cannot hear the voice guide.

You can hear the voice guide when you select ???Guidance??? in ???Setup???. But during actual driving, the voice guide is not heard.

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 the data within the memory and reinstall the data.

If the problem persists after the installation, contact the Customer Service Centre.

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 a tunnel.

???When driving between high buildings.

There is a difference between the driving road and the road on 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. But for newly constructed roads, the problem could be from the data update to the map.

Troubleshooting

What is GPS?

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defence. 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 matching

The GPS used by this Mobile Navigation System is susceptible to certain errors. Their calculations may on occasion place you in a location on the map where 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.
