Safety considerations

?????? Don???t install any device where it will block your view (including your mirrors!) while you???re driving.

?????? Keep your attention on the road! Don???t try to operate or focus on any device while you???re driving. If you have to concentrate on a device, pull off the road for a few minutes.

?????? It???s a good idea to take valuable items with you when you leave you car???that includes GPS devices. If you can???t take the device with you, lock it in the glove compartment or hide it somewhere. And don???t forget to take down the windshield mount: you don???t want to remind any potential thieves that you might have some valuable mobile electronics in the car.

Don???t leave the device in direct sunlight for a long period of time or where the temperature could go above 60?? C (140?? F).

Adjusting the windshield mount

Lift the adjustment lock to move the suction cup and bracket

The bracket pivots in all directions

?????? The adjustment lock keeps both the bracket and the suction cup locked into place. Lift the adjustment lock to change the position of the device.

?????? The suction cup joint pivots front to back, and the bracket joint pivots up, down, right and left, any just about angle in between.

?????? Angle the suction cup and the bracket where you want them, then push the adjustment lock back down to lock the windshield mount into position.

?????? If the bracket still moves too easily after you push the adjustment lock down, tighten the bracket joint (lift the adjustment lock, and twist the lock handle clockwise two, maybe three turns).

Mounting on the windshield

Make sure the device does not block your view of the road or your mirrors.

Once you decide where you want the device, hold the suction cup in that position, then adjust the mount so you have the best view of the device.

1)Press the suction cup flat against the windshield.

2)Push the suction lock up (towards the suction cup) until it snaps into place.

3)Gently pull on the mount to make sure it is secure.

If you have trouble getting the suction cup to stick:

?????? Clean the spot with an ammonia-free cleanser.

?????? Dry the spot completely (use a lint-free cloth, if possible).

?????? Make sure the spot is smooth and flat (suction cups won???t

stick well on a curved or textured surface).

Removing the windshield mount

When you release the suction latch, make sure you???re holding or somehow supporting the device.

Lift the suction latch and use the plastic pull tab to pull the suction cup off of the glass.

Page 11

How Do I Put It in My Car?

Mounting on a flat surface

If you want to put the device somewhere other than your windshield (or anywhere the suction cup won???t stick), you can use the anchor disk. Once you glue the anchor disk down, the windshield mount installs inside the disk just like it does on glass.

When you???re deciding where to put the anchor disk, here are some things to keep in mind:

?????? The surface should be as flat as possible. If the disk is upside down or at a sharp angle, it might not hold the device???s weight.

?????? The surface should be as smooth as possible. If the surface texture is too rough, the glue may not stick as well.

?????? The anchor disk will stick permanently on most surfaces. If you try to remove the disk, you might damage the surface.

?????? Don???t peel off the protective sheet until you???re ready to install the disk. Once you expose the glue, you can???t stop easily.

1)When you decide where you want to mount the disk, hold the suction cup in that spot and set the angle and position of the bracket (just like you would for mounting on your windshield).

2)Clean the spot to remove any wax, grease, protecterants, etc.

3)Carefully peel the protective sheet from the bottom of the anchor disk to expose the glue.

Page 12

How Do I Put It in My Car?

4)Hold the disk exactly above the spot where you want to glue it down. (Remember, the glue is designed to be permanent!)

5)Press the disk firmly against the surface. Push down along the edges, too, so that every part of the disk makes good contact with the surface.

6)Before you install the windshield mount, gently tug on the disk to make sure it???s secure.

7)Press the suction cup flat against the anchor disk, then push the suction latch down (towards the suction cup) to lock it into place.

1: Warnings and Safety information

TRAX436 is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your destination with a connected GPS receiver. TRAX436 does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.

It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate TRAX436 before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change something in the route.

TRAX436 has a Safety Mode: if you turn on Safety Mode, you cannot change anything in TRAX436 while the vehicle is moving at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or higher. Unless only passengers operate TRAX436, we strongly encourage you to turn on Safety Mode.

You must obey the traffic signs and follow the road geometry. If you deviate from the route that TRAX436 recommended, TRAX436 changes the instructions accordingly.

Never place mobile devices where it obstructs the driver???s view, where it is in the deployment zone of an airbag or where it might cause injuries in an accident.

2: Getting started with TRAX436

TRAX436 is optimised for in-car use. Tap the screen buttons and the map with your fingertips.

Page 14

How Do I Use It?

Start using TRAX436

When TRAX436 is started the first time, you need to do the following:

1.Select the written language of the application.

2.Select the language and speaker used for voice guidance messages.

IMPORTANT! - To use the Spoken Street Names feature you must choose a guidance language which is enabled for Text To

NOTE Speech. These are indicated with (TTS).

3.Select whether to start the program in Simple mode or in Advanced mode. Later you can change the language or switch between the two operating modes in Settings (page 101).

After this, the Navigation menu appears and you can start using TRAX436.

Page 16

How Do I Use It?

The typical way of using TRAX436 is to select a destination, and start navigating. You can select your destination in the following ways (not all of them are available in Simple mode):

???Use the selected location on the map (the Cursor) (page 36).

???Enter a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house number or the names of two intersecting streets (page 47).

???Enter an address with postal code (page 55). This way you do not need to select the name of the settlement and the search for street names might be faster as well.

???Use a coordinate (page 60)

???Use a saved location:

???a Favourite (page 57)

???a POI (page 58)

???the History of previously set destinations and waypoints (page 60)

Simple and Advanced modes

The two operating modes of TRAX436 mainly differ in the menu structure and the number of available features. The controls and screen layouts are the same.

???Simple mode: you have easy access to the most important navigation functions and the basic settings only. The rest of the

settings are set to values that are optimal for typical use.

???Advanced mode: you have access to the full functionality of

TRAX436.

To switch from Simple mode to Advanced mode: on the startup screen

Page 17

Hardware button (Power on/off)

You can use TRAX436 mostly by tapping the touch screen. The device has only one hardware button for turning power on or off.

When the device is on, pressing the power button momentarily turns the LCD screen off (the green LED stays on and the device continues to operate) or on. Press and hold the power button to turn the device off.

You can turn the devices on or off at any time. When the device is switched off, TRAX436 does not calculate your GPS position and it does not update the route or the driving instructions.

When you turn the device on again, TRAX436 continues navigating as soon as the GPS receiver has determined your position.

Buttons and other controls on the screen

When you are using TRAX436, you usually tap buttons on the touch screen.

You only need to confirm selections or changes in TRAX436 if the application needs to restart, it needs to perform a major reconfiguration, or you are about to lose some of your data or settings. Otherwise, TRAX436 saves your selections and applies the new settings without confirmation as

soon as you use the controls.

Position markers

Current GPS position and Lock-on-Road

When your GPS position is available, TRAX436 marks your current

position with the icon on the map. The exact location of the position marker depends on the vehicle type used for route calculation.

The vehicle type can be selected in Route settings (page 94) or in the Quick Menu (page 89).

???If you choose pedestrian: The icon is at your exact GPS position. The direction of the icon shows your actual heading.

???If you choose any of the vehicles: The icon is aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS position errors. The direction of the icon is one of the directions of the route.

To use the current GPS position, tap . The Position menu appears and you can save the GPS position as one of the following:

???a Favourite

???a Road Safety Camera

???a POI

???a map marker Pin

Return to normal navigation

When GPS position is available, and you have moved the map (the icon is moving or is not even visible), or you have rotated the map in 3D

mode, the button appears. Tap it to move the map back to the GPS position and re-enable Track-up map orientation (automatic map rotation).

Page 35

How Do I Use It?

Selected location (Cursor)

If you select a location in the Find menu, or you tap the map when the map control buttons are visible, the Cursor appears at the selected point on the

map. TRAX436 displays the Cursor with a radiating red dot () to make it visible at all zoom levels, even when it is in the background of a 3D map view.

When the Cursor is set, tap . The Cursor menu appears and you can use the Cursor as one of the following:

???the start point of a route

???a via point in a route

???the destination of a route

You can also search for POIs around the Cursor.

different place. The usual Cursor () appears, and the buttons of the Cursor menu initiate actions for this new location.

To return to the original Cursor position, tap . The map jumps back to

the position with which the Cursor menu was opened, and the icon appears again.

Page 36

How Do I Use It?

Daytime and night colour schemes

TRAX436 uses different colour schemes during the day and during the night.

???Daytime colours are similar to paper road maps.

???The night colour schemes use dark colours for large objects to keep the average brightness of the screen low.

TRAX436 offers different daytime and night colour schemes. It can also switch automatically between the daytime and the night scheme based on the current time and GPS position a few minutes before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset, before it

becomes dark.

Colour scheme in tunnels

When entering a tunnel, the colours of the map change. All buildings disappear, the large objects (such as surface waters or forests) and the empty areas between roads become black.

However roads and streets keep their original colours from the daytime or night colour scheme currently used.

After leaving the tunnel, the original colours return.

Route calculation and recalculation

TRAX436 calculates the route based on your preferences:

???Route calculation method:

???Fast

???Short

???Economical

???Easy

???Vehicle types :

???Car

???Taxi

???Bus

???Emergency vehicles

???Bicycle

Page 37

How Do I Use It?

???Pedestrian

???Road types:

???Unpaved Roads

???Permit Needed

???Motorways

???Toll Roads

???Charge Roads

???Ferries

???Cross-border Planning

TRAX436 automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary.

Depending on the type of the TMC event, TRAX436 also recalculates the route if a TMC event concerns a part of the recommended route.

For further information about Route Planning options, see page 104.

Itinerary

The Itinerary is the list of the route events, that is, the driving instructions.

When you are on the Map screen, you can display the Itinerary in one of the following ways:

???Tap the area between the Turn preview and the Travel data fields where the symbol of the second next manoeuvre is displayed (for example ).

???In Advanced mode, tap the following buttons:

, ,.

Page 38

Track Logs

TRAX436 can log the track that you drive (page 66).

A Track Log is a recording of how your GPS position changed and it is independent of the route TRAX436 calculated.

Track Logs can be recorded, renamed, replayed, shown on the map, exported to a the internal Flash ROM in GPX format, and deleted. See page 66.

Page 39

How Do I Use It?

Independently of the normal track log, you can instruct TRAX436 to record the native GPS data received from the GPS device. These logs are saved as separate text files on the internal Flash ROM, and they cannot be shown or replayed in TRAX436.

To turn on NMEA/SIRF log saving, tap the following buttons: ,, ,.

Route demonstration

A simulation drives you through the route, following the driving instructions (page 64). You can choose from a simulation at high speed or at normal driving speed.

You can use it, for example, to see which bridge TRAX436 planned for the route; if you do not want to take that bridge, you can avoid it.

Route demonstrations can be started from the Route menu by tapping the

(high speed simulation) or the (simulation at normal speed) button.

POI (Points of Interest)

A point of interest (POI) is a location that someone might find useful or interesting. TRAX436 is delivered with thousands of POIs and you can also create your own POIs in the application.

POI locations are marked on the map with special icons. POI icons are quite large so you can easily recognise the symbol. The icons are also semi-transparent: they do not cover the streets and intersections behind them.

POIs are grouped into several levels of categories and subcategories. The icon of a POI that comes with the map shows the symbol of the POI category. If you save your own POI, you can select an icon for it

independently of the POI category you have put it in.

Saving POI

To save a POI, place the Cursor () at the desired location, then tap the following buttons:

, , .

Managing POI

You can select which POI groups to show and which ones to hide on the map, and from which zoom levels POI icons are visible. At the same place you can manage your saved POIs. A saved POI can be renamed, moved to a different POI group, its icon can be changed, or a phone number and

additional information can be added to it. Tap the following buttons: , , .

Road Safety Cameras

The location of a Road Safety Camera is a special POI. They cannot be searched like other POIs, and there is a special proximity warning only for cameras. You can save the Cursor as the location of a Road Safety

Camera.

Saving Road Safety Cameras

To save the location of a Road Safety Camera, place the Cursor

() at the desired location, then tap the following buttons: , , .

Turn Preview field (for example ).

???Audible Warning: If there is no speed limit given for the camera, or your speed is under the given speed limit, single beeps warn you about the camera.

???If you exceed the speed limit of the camera, the following also happens:

???Visible Warning: A symbol with the speed limit appears in the corner of

the map (for example: ),

???Audible Warning: A special alert sound is played.

Camera types

There are different types of Road Safety Cameras.

Page 42

Camera directions

A speed camera can measure the speed of one direction of the traffic, both directions, or even several directions in an intersection, when they are mounted on a rotating base. The same directions apply to red light cameras. TRAX436 warns you only if you drive in a measured or possibly measured direction. The measured direction of the camera appears with the following symbols:

Page 43

How Do I Use It?

Symbol Description

The camera checks the speed of the direction into which you are driving.

The camera checks the speed of the opposite driving direction.

The camera checks the speed in both directions on the road.

The camera can check the speed in any direction.

Speed limit warning

Maps sometimes contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. This information may not be available for your region (ask your local dealer) or may not be fully correct for all roads on the map.

You can configure TRAX436 to warn you if you exceed the current limit.

Tap the following buttons:

, , , .

When you exceed the speed limit, the following happens:

Page 44

How Do I Use It?

TMC (Traffic Message Channel)

TRAX436 can provide you with even better routes if Traffic Message Channel (TMC) information is available. The TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information.

The TMC feature is enabled by default in TRAX436. TMC requires subscription to the service provided by a separate supplier. There is a fee for this service.

NOTE

TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region. Ask your local dealer for coverage details.

If public TMC data is broadcast at your location, TRAX436 automatically takes into account the TMC data received. You do not need to set anything in the program. The receiver will automatically search the FM radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will immediately be used in route planning. The moment TRAX436 receives traffic information that may affect your route, the program will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation will continue with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic conditions.

If necessary, you can change the settings related to TMC, or select a specific

radio station to receive. Tap the following buttons: , ,.

3: Navigating with TRAX436

You can set up your route in TRAX436 in several ways:

???If you need a simple route (a route with only one destination, without any intermediate via points), you can select the destination and start navigating to it right away

???you can plan a multi-point route (available in Advanced mode only)

???you can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position or even without GPS reception (available in Advanced mode only)

Page 45

How Do I Use It?

Selecting the destination of a route

TRAX436 offers you several ways of choosing your destination and via points (intermediate destinations):

???Use the selected location on the map (the Cursor) (page 46).

???Enter a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house number or the names of two intersecting streets (page 47).

???Enter an address with postal code (page 55). This way you do not need to select the name of the settlement and the search for street names might be faster as well.

???Use a coordinate (page 60)

???Use a saved location:

???a Favourite (page 57)

???a POI (page 58)

???the History of previously set destinations and waypoints

Tips on entering addresses quickly

???When you are entering the name of a settlement or a street,

TRAX436 only displays those characters that appear in possible search results. The other characters are greyed out.

???When entering the settlement name or the street name, tap the

button after a couple of letters; TRAX436 lists the items that contain the character set.

???You can speed up finding an intersection:

???Search first for the street with a less common or less usual name; fewer letters are enough to find it.

???If one of the streets is shorter, search for that one first. You can then find the second one faster.

???You can search for both the type and the name of a road. If the same word appears in several names, for example in the name of streets, roads and avenues, you can obtain the result faster if you enter the first letter of the street type: For example, enter Pi A to obtain Pine Avenue and skip all Pine Streets and Pickwick Roads.

???You can also search in postal codes. This is useful when a street name is common and it is used in several districts of a city.

Creating a multi-point route (inserting a via point)

Multi-point routes are created from simple routes, so a route must be active first. One of the ways of expanding the route is to keep the destination, and to add via points (intermediate destinations).

This feature is available in Advanced mode only.

1.Select a new location as you did in the previous sections. This will be the additional destination in the route.

2.The map appears with the selected point in the middle, and the Cursor menu opens automatically.

3.Tap to add the point as an intermediate destination preceding the final destination of the route.

4.[optional] To add more points to the route, repeat the above steps as many times as you like.

Page 61

How Do I Use It?

If you insert a via point in a route that is already a multi-point route, you will automatically be taken to the Edit Route screen where you can determine the position of the intermediate route point. When you enter the screen, the new via point is placed as the last via point before the final destination.

The new point is the selected point in the list. You have the following options:

Button Action

The selected point moves up in the list (becomes a via point to be reached earlier). Tap this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the start point of the route.

The selected point moves down in the list (becomes a via point to be reached later). Tap this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the final destination of the route.

The route is reversed. The start point becomes the destination, the destination becomes the start point, and all via points are to be reached in the opposite order than before.

The route is optimised. The start point and the destination remain at their position, but the via points are reordered to make the shortest possible route.

The selected point is removed from the route. The route remains as it was before adding the new point.

Every time a new point is added, the route is recalculated automatically, and you can start navigating right away.

Creating a multi-point route (appending a new destination)

Multi-point routes are created from simple routes, so a route must be active first. One of the ways of expanding the route is to add a new destination. The previous destination becomes the last via point of the route.

Opens the full-screen Cursor menu with all the possible options.

A new route is calculated with the Cursor as the destination. The previous route is deleted.

If the Cursor is at or near the destination, this button replaces the previous one, and deletes the current destination from the route. The last via point is promoted as destination, or if there are no via points, the route is deleted.

The Cursor is added to the active route as an intermediate route point, a point to be reached before the destination. If there is already a via point in the route, the Edit Route screen opens to let you decide where the new via point is to appear in the route.

If the Cursor is at or near one of the via points, this button replaces the previous one, and deletes the selected via point from the route. The route is recalculated without the deleted point.

The Cursor is appended at the end of the route as the new destination. The previous destination is demoted, and becomes the last via point.

This button is similar to the button, but a new screen opens, and the route is calculated with all the possible route calculation methods (Fast, Short,

Economical and Easy). Observe the results, and choose one of the routes to navigate.

The Cursor becomes the start point of the route. This means that the route will not be started from the current GPS position, and Automatic Off-route Recalculation needs to be turned off to keep the start point the selected one.

Page 82

How Do I Use It?

If the Cursor is at or near the selected start point, this button replaces the previous one, and deletes the start point from the route. The current GPS position is used again as the start point, and Automatic Off-route Recalculation is re-enabled.

The Cursor is saved as a user POI. Select the POI group and give a name for the POI, then select a suitable icon, enter a phone number, and additional information if you like.

Map locations can be marked with Pins. Unlike POIs, a Pin has no name and other details, only a colour to let you tell one from another on the map.

If the Cursor is at or near a Pin, this button replaces the previous one, and deletes the Pin the Cursor is near to.

The Cursor is saved as the location of a Road Safety Camera (speed camera or red light camera). A new screen appears where you can set the type of the camera, the direction of the measured traffic, and the speed limit checked (if applicable).

If the Cursor is at or near a Road Safety Camera, this button replaces the previous one, and opens a new screen where you can edit the details of the camera.

The location of the Cursor is added to the list of frequently visited destinations, the so called Favourites. You can give a name for the Favourite.

Position menu

When you follow the recommended route on the map (the Cursor is the current GPS position), the Position menu replaces the Cursor menu. It does not contain buttons that modify the current route, as the GPS position is not useful as a route point.

6: Glossary

2D/3D GPS reception

The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and need at least four signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals. If three satellites are available, the receiver can calculate the horizontal GPS position but the accuracy is lower and the GPS device does not give you elevation data: only 2D reception is possible.

Active route

The currently navigated route. You can save and load routes in TRAX436, but only one route can be active at any given time, and it is always active until you delete it, reach your destination or you quit TRAX436. See also: Route.

City Centre

GPS accuracy

Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one given by the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting objects near the GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can calculate your position.

Map

TRAX436 works with digital maps which are not simply the computerised versions of traditional paper maps. Similarly to the paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps show you streets, roads, and elevation is also shown by colours. In 3D mode, you can see the altitude differences, for example valleys, mountains and elevated roads.

You can use digital maps interactively: you can zoom in and out (increase or decrease the scale), you can tilt them up and down, and turn them

left and right. In GPS-supported navigation, digital maps facilitate route planning.

Page 126

How Do I Use It?

North-up map orientation

In North-up mode the map is rotated so its top always faces North. This is the orientation in 2D map view mode and in Overview mode. See also: Track-up map orientation.

Overview mode

You can instruct TRAX436 to automatically switch to Overview mode if the next route event is in a distance. In Overview mode the map is shown in

2D but scaled down to a predefined zoom level. When you approach the next route event, the previous 2D or 3D map view returns automatically.

Route

A series of destinations to be reached one after the other. A simple route contains one start point and only one destination. Multi-point routes contain one or more via points (intermediate destinations). The last route point is the final destination and the route is cut into different legs (from one destination to the next).

Scheme

TRAX436 comes with different colour schemes for the map for daytime or night use. Schemes are custom graphic settings for the map and they can have different colours for streets, blocks or surface waters in 2D and 3D modes, and they display shades or shadows in different ways in 3D mode.

One daytime scheme and one night scheme is always selected. TRAX436 uses them when it switches from day to night and back.

Track-up map orientation

In Track-up mode the map is rotated so its top always points in the currend driving direction. This is the default orientation in 3D map view mode. See also: North-up map orientation.

Road Safety Camera

A special POI type for speed cameras and red light cameras. Different data sources are available, and you can also mark the position of a Road Safety Camera on the map.

You can configure TRAX436 to warn you when you approach one of these cameras.
