Use the Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons to view the map as desired.

While in the Enter Dest menu, you may also plan a route using the following multi-function buttons:

Beam

This button allows you to input addresses or telephone numbers you may have stored in your Palm™ hand-held computing device directly into the Navigation System.

When transmitting data to the unit, ensure the format is the same as that on the screen. For the system to be able to properly search for an address, standard street and directional abbreviations should be used. Instead of "West Hall Road" use "W Hall Rd".

When you press the Receive multi-function button, the system will ask you to send the data. Hold the Palm near the infrared receiver located in the upper right corner of the screen and transmit. When the information has been successfully received, you will be able to use it to help plan your route.

After receiving the beamed data, the screen will display this data. A search must be performed to find the matching data in the navigation database. Turn the TUNE/SEL knob to select a field to search, then press the Search multi-function button. Search will be highlighted if the field is searchable.

You may be requested to select a city or street to narrow the search. After successfully finding the match in the navigation database, you can use the multi-function buttons to map, set the destination or calculate the route.

If the data cannot be found in the navigation database, a message "no data found" will be displayed. If this occurs, select another field to search. Repeat this process until all search fields have been checked or a match is found.

You may also select information from the All POI (Points of Interest) or Nearby POI menus to send to your Palm using the INFO button.

A second way to access the Beam screen is through the Address Book screen. See "Address Book" under Main Menu for more information.

All POI (Points of Interest)

This option allows you to choose a destination from the all points of interest list. See "Points of Interest Categories" later in this section for the complete list.

There are four ways to limit a search for a point of interest from this screen:

To enter the city of a POI, the state of a POI or a POI category, use the following steps:

1. Press either the City, State or Category multi-function button.
2. Enter the name of the city, state or POI category using the alpha-numeric bar. To limit the search of a point of interest, the city or category must be entered first.

As you enter the item, the system will search for a match. Select the correct point of interest from the list.

To search for a POI by name, enter the name of the POI in the POI Name screen.

The POI Name screen allows you to do the following functions with the multi-function buttons on the currently selected POI:

Points of Interest Categories: The following list shows the categories in the DVD database that you can choose from when using the All POI or Nearby POI options:

The full names of some POI on the list cannot be displayed due to their length. These names will be followed by three dots (...). If you wish to see the full name of the POI, press the More button and the system will scroll to the end of the name.

The POI for Restaurant is broken down into fifty-one distinct categories. Select Restaurant from the POI choices and press the List button. Cuisine Type will then appear as an option. Press the List button again to view the restaurant categories and select one to use as your POI.

Nearby POI (Points of Interest)

This feature allows you to limit your choices of a Nearby POI to within a 30 mile (48 km) radius of one of three locations: current location, waypoint location or destination location.

After entering the Nearby POI screen, use the location multi-function button to select which one of the three locations you want to search for Nearby POIs. The location screen shows a list of all points along your trip. Use the TUNE/SEL knob to select the desired location. Press the Back multi-function button to return to the Nearby POI screen.

The selected location will be shown at the bottom of the screen.

Choose a category from the Nearby POI list using the TUNE/SEL knob. Once a category is selected a list of available POI will be displayed. The points are listed in order of straight-line distance from the selected location. If the selected location is the current location, an arrow will show the direction of the Nearby POI.

Turn the TUNE/SEL knob to select the desired POI. This point can be added to your trip or replace the current trip. Pressing the TUNE/SEL knob will calculate a route to the POI. This also deletes any trip that may have been active.

Use the Set Dest multi-function button to add this POI to your current trip (as your destination) without deleting your current trip. This will take you to the Trip Points screen where this POI can be moved to any location in your trip point list.

Top 1, 2, 3: The most commonly used categories can be put at the top of the list for easy access. These categories are the only available categories when the vehicle is in motion. To move a category to one of the Top 3 spots, turn the TUNE/SEL knob to the desired category. Then, press the Top 1, Top 2 or Top 3 multi-function button to move that category to that location.

Info (Information): Press this button to receive further information about the chosen POI, such as the address and phone number. From this screen you may also transfer information to your Palm hand-held computing device. See Address Book in Main Menu for more information. For example, if you select a restaurant as your POI and press the Info button, the name, address and phone number for that restaurant will appear. When a Nearby POI is not available within the search area, the system will display "No Facility Found in This Area."

Last 10

This feature allows you to select a destination from the last 10 destinations. Press the Last 10 button to bring up the list. Choose your destination from this list turning the TUNE/SEL knob.

While using the Last 10 feature, press the Store PT button to add a location from the Last 10 list to the stored points list. Press the Map button while using the Last 10 feature, and the system will take you to the map screen and show you the location of the point you have chosen.

You can use the Set Dest, Delete or Calculate multi-function buttons as described earlier for any other destination. See "Enter Destination" listed previously in this section for more information.

Address

This method allows you to enter a destination using an address (without a zip code). You need to provide the system with a street number, street name and a city.

Enter the name of a street using the alpha-numeric bar. Since there may be many streets within the map database with the same name, you may have difficulty selecting the correct one. If this occurs we recommend entering the city, village, township or county name first.

To enter the city name, select City on the Address screen. Enter the name of the city using the alpha-numeric bar. Select the desired city name from the list the system provides. After you have entered the city name, the system will prompt you to enter the name of the street or will give you a list of street names to choose from. Enter or select the desired street name.

As information is entered, the system will automatically search for available names. While inputting a name, the List button will become available once there are names to choose from. Press the List button to view the available name choices or continue to spell the name to further limit the number of available items. If you are unsuccessful when inputting a name, the name may need to be input differently or the map DVD may not contain this information. See Database Coverage Explanations .

Enter the address number using the alpha-numeric bar.

The system will list the address number range that is available for the street. Some cities may have multiple entries for a street. If the address number does not fall in the address number range displayed on the screen, press Back and select another street name. If the address number still does not appear, it is possible that the map DVD does not contain this information. See Database Coverage Explanations .

If you did not select the city name previously, the system may prompt you to do so using the alpha-numeric bar or from a list of names which the system provides. Select the desired city name.

Press the Calculate multi-function button to delete any current trip and set this as your destination. The system will return to the Enter Destination screen. Use the Set Dest function as previously described to add this point to your current trip.

Creating a Trip with Waypoints

Once a destination has been entered, you can also add waypoints. Trip waypoints are destinations you want to arrive at before reaching your final destination. The system will automatically guide you to each waypoint, then on to your final destination. Up to 10 waypoints can be entered for any trip.

To enter a waypoint, press the Trip Points multi-function button on the navigation menu screen. Then, turn the TUNE/SEL knob to scroll the trip points list. A waypoint can be added at any location designated by a blank flag. Press the TUNE/SEL knob to select the location. The system will then allow you to enter a waypoint using the same method as Enter Destination. See "Enter Destination" listed previously in this section for more information.

Once you have entered all desired waypoints for your trip, press the Calculate multi-function button. The system will return you to the map and will plan the route to your waypoints and destination.

After the first waypoint, the color of the highlighted route will change. See Colors on the Screen later in this section for more information.

Editing a Trip

While at the Trip Point screen, press the Edit multi-function button. This screen allows you to delete or move points in a trip. If you wish to delete a waypoint, scroll to that waypoint and press Delete. You may also change the order of the waypoints by scrolling to a waypoint and pressing Move. Then, turning the TUNE/SEL knob move it to the desired location within the list. Once the waypoint is at the desired location, press the TUNE/SEL knob or the Ok multi-function button.

Plan a Route

After a destination has been entered, you must press the Calculate multi-function button. The system will return you to the map and will plan the route to your selected destination. While the system is planning the route, the Route Option and Cancel multi-function buttons will be available. Also the Add Way Pt multi-function button will appear if there are less than 10 waypoints in the current trip.

When your route guidance has been planned, it will be highlighted and a checkered flag will appear on the map to show your destination. Symbols will also appear for any waypoints that have been set. The system will display "Route Calculation Completed" at the bottom of the screen.

Traveling on a Planned Route

After a route has been calculated and the route highlighted, you may hear an audio prompt to proceed to the highlighted route. When you are ready, drive the vehicle to the highlighted route. Once you begin driving on the route, the system will give additional audio and visual prompts, as you approach your next maneuver. Each maneuver is indicated on the map with a red maneuver pin.

Maneuver Pins

Maneuver pins are red "stick pin" icons on the map that indicate changes in the road or special action that must be taken by the driver to remain on the currently traveled road. For example, the road may have a sharp curve in it. The curve would not qualify as an official turn on the planned route. However, the driver must be aware of the curve so that he or she can stay on the planned route. Maneuver pins are always displayed along a planned route, but voice prompts and screen popups will only be given if these features are turned on.

As you are traveling, the current road is shown at the bottom center of the map screen. In addition in the upper center of the map screen will be the next maneuver. Anytime while on the route, you can press the NAV (navigation) Repeat button to get an audio prompt of your next maneuver.

There are two different types of roads in the map database. Fully attributed roads allow for a destination to be set and turn-by-turn guidance to be provided to the exact location of the address. In Process Data (IPD) roads contain only street name and address information. Other information such as turn restrictions and direction of travel is not included for these IPD roads. Therefore, turn by turn guidance cannot be provided to the exact address. When trips are planned that include an IPD destination, turn-by-turn guidance will be provided on the fully attributed roads closest to the destination. When nearing the end of the highlighted route the system will state, "Enroute to your destination, some roads contain incomplete data. Turn guidance will not be provided in this area." As you reach the end of the highlighted route the system will state, "Turn guidance will not be provided in this area. Please use the direction arrow and distance indicator to proceed to your destination." You should refer to the direction and distance information in the lower center area of the screen to navigate to the destination, or refer to the information in the waypoint box for a waypoint.

Once your vehicle is near your destination, the system will say "You've arrived at your destination, ending route guidance."

Back: This button always returns you to the previous screen.
