Introduction

USING THE STREETPILOT IN SIMULATOR MODE

Do you want to simulate driving this route? Yes No Restart when finished

Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the routing features of the StreetPilot by practicing creating routes in simulator mode.

Simulator mode only works when the GPS navigation is turned off. To do this, press the MENU key on the StreetPilot. When the Menu page appears, select the 'Use Indoors' icon. GPS will be turned off. Now, when you create a route, the unit asks if you want to simulate driving the route. Select Yes, and the StreetPilot gives driving instructions for the entire route.

Manual Conventions

• This manual refers to the StreetPilot as a "StreetPilot," "unit," or "GPS receiver." It makes no distinction between these terms. "StreetPilot" refers to both the 2620 and 2660 models unless specifically stated.
• This manual uses the term "Map page" when referring to pages that have maps. In all other instances, the terms "page," "screen," and "window" are used interchangeably.
• This manual uses the words "button" and "key" interchangeably.
• This manual uses the term "press" when you need to activate the keys on the StreetPilot or on the remote control.
• Although you can either touch the screen to activate commands or use the remote control, most instructions in this manual assume that you are using the touchscreen.
• This manual uses "touch" and "select" interchangeably. When asked to touch or select an icon or tab, simply tap the icon or tab with your finger. Or, press in on the thumb stick that is located on your remote control. Practice using the remote control unit to improve your accuracy when activating commands. See page 4 to learn how to use it.

OPERATE YOUR STREETPILOT IN "SAFE MODE" WHILE DRIVING

General Guidance Routing Time Safety T Safe Mode encourages attentive driving by disabling certain interactive features while your vehicle is moving. You may disable Safe Mode to allow a passenger to use these features. WARNING: Do NOT enter data or configure this device while operating your vehicle. Safe Mode On

Your StreetPilot is equipped with a 'Safe Mode' feature to improve driver safety. By default, this feature is enabled, but it can be turned off to allow a passenger to operate the unit. When your vehicle is moving, Safe Mode disables certain StreetPilot functions which require significant operator attention and may become a distraction to use while driving.

NOTE: If you have previously registered a Garmin product purchase, we invite you to re-register using our online system. Many services provided by our new product registration system are now being automated and re-registering your purchase ensures you the best possible support from Garmin.

Introduction

Maintenance

Caring for your StreetPilot

Cleaning the Case and Remote Control

The StreetPilot 2620/2660 case and remote are constructed of high quality materials and do not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the unit's outer casing (except for the touchscreen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage plastic components.

Cleaning the Touchscreen

The StreetPilot 2620/2660 touchscreen is intended primarily for finger operation. Although a PDA stylus may also be used to operate touchscreen, never attempt this while operating a vehicle. Never use a hard or sharp object to operate the touchscreen or damage may result. The touchscreen should be cleaned using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner can be used if needed. If these are used, apply the liquid to the cloth and then gently wipe the touchscreen with the moistened cloth.

Storage

Do not store the StreetPilot 2620/2660 where prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may occur (such as in the trunk of a car) as permanent damage may result.

Storing alkaline batteries in the remote control for extended periods is not recommended. In order to reduce the chance for battery leakage in the battery compartment, remove the batteries when storing the remote control for more than six months.

Caring for the Pre-Programmed Hard Drive

Your StreetPilot 2620/2660 comes with an internal pre-programmed hard drive. As with any hard drive, excessive shock and vibration may cause permanent damage. To minimize the risk of damage to your hard drive, avoid dropping your unit or operating it in high shock/vibration environments.

Turning the StreetPilot On and Off

Toggle the power switch on the right side down to turn the unit ON and up to turn it OFF. When turned on, the Welcome screen appears briefly, followed by the Map Information and Copyright page. Touch OK on the screen to acknowledge, or wait briefly until the Safe Driving Warning Message page appears. Touch OK once more or wait until the Map page appears.

Using the Keypad

Use the StreetPilot's keypad to select specific tasks such as finding places or creating routes. Each keypad button's primary function appears in larger text above the secondary function. Always press and release a key to perform its primary function. Press and hold a key to activate its secondary function (if available). For example, if you press the MENU/ROUTE key, a Menu page will appear. If you press and hold the MENU/ROUTE key for more than two seconds, a Routes page will appear.

• PAGE/MARK Key — PAGE switches between a variety of pages that you can view on your StreetPilot. It also returns you to a main page if you have previously selected an option window. Thus, if you want to exit out of a current page option, press PAGE. MARK captures your present position and saves it as a waypoint.
• MENU/ROUTE Key — MENU displays a menu of options for your current page. It also displays sub-menu options. ROUTE displays a menu of available route navigation features.
• FIND/RECENT Key — FIND allows you to search for cities, hotels, restaurants, banks, and a host of other places. RECENT allows you to view a list of places you have recently found.
• SPEAK/VOLUME Key — SPEAK triggers your StreetPilot's "voice" to repeat the next turn or current destination while you are navigating a route. VOLUME displays an adjustment slide on the page to change the speaker volume.

Introduction

Keypad Usage

Activate the primary functions (PAGE, MENU, FIND, SPEAK) by pressing the key once.

Activate the secondary functions (MARK, ROUTE, RECENT, VOLUME) by pressing and holding down the key.

thumb stick

To disable the remote (the IR port), press MENU and select 'Options.' Select the 'General' tab and press the MENU key. Select 'Disable Remote.'

To enable the remote again, press MENU and select 'Options.' Select the 'General' tab and press the MENU key. Select 'Enable Remote.'

Using the Touchscreen

The StreetPilot 2620/2660's touchscreen features allow you to make menu selections, position the map pointer, scroll through menu selections, and enter data with the touch of your finger.

To use the touchscreen control, touch the desired object on the screen with your finger, applying just enough pressure to activate the function. It is not necessary to apply excessive pressure to the touchscreen. If the Touchscreen Tone setting is set to ON, you will hear a click from the speaker with every finger press. If you sense that the touchscreen is not responding properly, it may need to be calibrated.

Calibrating the Touchscreen

To calibrate the touchscreen:

1. Press the remote or unit MENU key. Select 'Display.'
2. Press the remote or unit FIND key to begin calibration. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Using the Remote Control

The StreetPilot 2620/2660's alphanumeric remote control allows you to perform functions similar to the unit's keypad controls. You will notice only subtle differences between the two. As on the keypad, the remote control features PAGE, MENU, FIND, and SPEAK keys. Thus, you can use them the same way you use the keypad. Similarly, press and hold each key in order to use each key's secondary function (MARK, ROUTE, RECENT, and VOLUME).

The remote differs from the keypad in that it has additional function keys that allow you to quickly enter data and perform other operations on the unit:

• (ZOOM) IN Key — Zooms in to adjust the Map page scale to show a smaller area with more detail.
• (ZOOM) OUT Key — Zooms out to adjust the Map page scale to show a larger area with less detail.
- QUIT Key — Returns the display to your previous page (much like the "Back" button on an Internet browser window). Also, when you are entering data, pressing QUIT restores the previous value (cancels data entry).

• ROUTE Key—Displays a menu of available route navigation features.
• THUMB STICK — Selects menu options, changes settings, and enters data. Also it controls movement of the map pointer on the Map page. Press in (or down) on the thumb stick to select or activate a highlighted item or to begin data entry. Move the thumb stick from side to side for moving around the Map page. Use this feature as an alternative to using your finger on the touchscreen. Practice using it to increase your accuracy.
• ALPHANUMERIC KEYS — Used when you wish to enter numbers for values such as an address or waypoint name. These keys can be used in conjunction with the thumb stick. For letters, press the appropriate number key as many times as necessary to get to the correct letter. The number will appear after the last letter option has been shown. For example, if you wish to input the letter B, press the number 2 key twice. If you wish to input the number 2, press the number 2 key four times. When you have selected the correct letter or number, pause, and the unit will automatically advance the cursor to the next character. Note that the 1 key only accepts one press and SPACE/0 only accepts two key presses.

In order for the remote to operate properly, be sure to point the IR (infrared) window on the remote towards the unobstructed IR window on the left front of the StreetPilot.

Adjusting the Speaker Volume

To adjust the external speaker volume:

1. Press and hold the SPEAK/VOLUME key. A speaker volume adjustment page appears.
2. Adjust the speaker volume by moving the slider's thumb up or down with either your finger (on the touchscreen) or by pressing the thumb stick up or down once the scroll box appears. The loudest setting is ten; the softest setting is one. Each press activates the audio number. All the way down turns off the speaker. (Alternatively, volume can be cycled between three settings by repeatedly pressing the SPEAK/VOLUME key from this screen. The three settings are volume off, user setting, and maximum volume.)
3. When finished, touch the X on the touchscreen or press in once on the thumb stick.

IntroductionIntroduction

Installing the Remote Control Batteries

The remote control requires two AAA alkaline batteries. To install the batteries, press up on the battery door clip, then pull the battery door away from the remote. Install the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see the inside compartment). Replace the cover.

Using the Map Page

USING YOUR STREETPILOT INDOORS

Your StreetPilot unit cannot acquire satellites from inside a building. Thus, you may want to consider setting your unit to 'Use Indoor' status. To do this, press the MENU key on your unit. You will see a Menu page that includes a variety of setup options. Select the Use Indoors icon.

Learning how to use the Map Page

The Map page is your StreetPilot's main operating page. This page is the first image you see after the startup screens, and it's what you view as you navigate to a destination. Many features make up the Map page. Whether you're navigating a route or simply driving with your StreetPilot turned on, you will see a map that displays your current location as well as surrounding street detail. Additionally, depending on your current driving mode, tabs that appear on the Map page will provide such information as your current speed, your driving direction, and names of upcoming streets. You can look beyond your current position by "panning," or moving around the Map page. You can also zoom into locations to view greater street detail or you can zoom out to see what's ahead on your route.

This section shows the many types of Map page views as well as how to use the features on the Map page. Practice using these features before navigating an actual route so that you can quickly understand what you are seeing on the Map page and thus limit time looking away from the road while driving.

Viewing the Map Page for the First Time

When you turn on your StreetPilot for the first time, you see a map image as well as a tab which shows that the StreetPilot is attempting to locate satellites. Once your StreetPilot locates the satellites, it establishes a "fix" on your location. It is then ready to navigate and you are ready to begin.

Using the Map Page Features

The Map page comes with many useful features that can help you as you view cities or places, and as you navigate routes. If you are a new StreetPilot owner, practice using these features while your vehicle is stationary.

Map Tools Bar

The StreetPilot comes with a "map tools" bar, which is a series of icons on the left-hand side of the Map page that enable you to zoom in to and out of the current areas shown on your Map page. To activate the map tools bar, simply touch any part of the Map page and the map tools bar will appear:

map tools bar Touch the arrow to toggle between activating and hiding the map tools bar Touch the + to zoom in to an area, up to 120 feet (thus providing greater detail) Touch the - to zoom out of an area, up to 800 miles (thus providing less detail) When the panning hand is present, you can move across the map area with your finger and the map will move. Touch the hand to toggle to a special "box" zoom feature Map scale map pointer vehicle icon; shows your current location

The white arrow at the top of the map tools bar allows you to toggle between activating and hiding the map tools bar. The zoom icons feature a "+" magnifying glass that allows you to zoom in to an area on your Map page, and a "-" magnifying glass that lets you zoom out of an area. The panning hand allows you to move around the Map page by touching the screen (touchscreen) with your finger; this action is called "panning." Panning allows you to "move" the viewing area on the Map page in order to view areas beyond the

displayed area. The white arrow, or "map pointer," serves as a target marker and provides information for a specific location or object if any is available. The black triangle, or "vehicle icon," shows your current physical location on the Map page. While in panning mode, the data tabs on the right of the screen are hidden.

In addition to zooming in to or out of the Map page, you can also define a particular area to enlarge on the Map page by drawing a "box" on the touchscreen, then lifting your finger from the screen. Before you can do this, make certain the boxed magnifying glass icon is showing at the bottom of the map tools bar, as shown in the diagram below. If the map tools bar displays a hand, simply touch the hand and the boxed magnifying glass icon will appear.

Use your finger to draw a box on the Map page. The boxed-in area will be zoomed in to show greater detail.

North Up and Track Up

Map orientation icons appear at the top left side of the Map page. They show how roads appear on your Map page. North Up shows your Map page with North always at the top, as if you were reading a paper map. Thus, as you are driving, the vehicle icon on your Map page will move to the left if you are going West, right if you are going East, and so forth. With Track Up, your Map page shifts so that your direction of travel always appears at the top of the Map page. Thus, if you are headed South, the Map page will shift so that South appears at the top of the Map page. Change the orientation from North Up

to Track Up (or vice versa) by touching the orientation icon. Note that the map tools bar must be hidden before you can change these icons.

Map Scale

A map scale appears on the lower left of the Map page. It shows you the current zoom level showing on the Map page (such as 500 miles, .8 miles, or 200 feet) as well as what map your StreetPilot is using to create the current image. Your StreetPilot includes a "base map" and a "detail map." The base map provides only general information such as city names and highway exits. The detail map includes specific details such as businesses, parks, and other points of interest. Thus, if you are viewing Denver at a map scale of 800 feet, your StreetPilot will display information from its base map. The map scale will switch from "base map" to "detail map" as you continue to zoom in to Denver.

If you continue to zoom in to Denver or any city, "overzoom" will appear on the map scale. Displaying at around 500 - 300 feet, "overzoom" indicates that the current scale exceeds the optimum resolution of available map detail. Some detail, such as roads, are drawn using widely-spaced points and the actual layout of these details may differ from the map presentation.

As was discussed on the previous page, an "i" icon appears as the Map pointer hovers over an existing map object such as a business, park, lake, church, or other point of interest. When the Map pointer points to an area where no map data exists, a flag icon appears in the upper right side of the Map page:

DETAIL MAP 12° ENTRANCE 40°

When the map pointer is not placed on an object, a flag icon appears in the upper right-hand corner. Touch the icon to create a new waypoint. You can also create a route to it.

If you decide that this is an area you want to remember (perhaps it is a particular location on a lake or in a National Park), you can mark this area by creating a waypoint for it. Touch the flag icon and a New Map Waypoint will appear, as shown below. The coordinates for the marked area are displayed. A random number also appears. If you wish to name it something else, touch the current name (011) and a mini keyboard page will appear, allowing you to type in a new name. You can also touch the icon to the left of the name to change the icon.

Touch the blue dot icon to reveal a scroll-lable list of colorful icons to use to mark your waypoint.

Touch the 011 text to display a new screen that serves as a mini keyboard. Use this keyboard to enter a new name for the waypoint.

Map page in routing mode

Although the information varies slightly between a Map page in driving mode and one in routing mode, you can use the features discussed in this section for both Map page types. Note that the Next Turn page and Current Route pages only appear when you are in routing mode.

Viewing the Map Page While Driving

Map Pages in Driving and Routing Mode

While driving, you will see one of two types of Map pages: a Map page in "driving" mode, which appears when you have the StreetPilot turned on but you are not navigating a route, and a Map page in "routing" mode, which appears when you have created a route and are currently navigating to it.

In driving mode, the Map page shows map details, the map scale, and your current location. Customizable data tabs are pre-set to show your speed, current direction of travel, address of your current position, and the name of the next road ahead.

In routing mode, the Map page displays more information. It graphically shows you map details and your current location, and it marks your route to a destination with a magenta-colored route line. It tells you what direction to go as well as the direction in which you are traveling. Customizable data tabs are pre-set to display information such as your speed, the distance you have traveled, distance to the next turn, time remaining before reaching the next turn, and more.

Both types of Map pages display a vehicle icon which indicates your present position and direction of movement as a triangular icon in the center of the map. Depending upon your map scale setting, you can see a variety of geographic detail such as lakes, rivers, highways, and towns.

If you would like to see more detail at your current driving position, or if you would like to see a broader view of the area, you can change the Map scale to zoom in to or out of your current position as the Map page continues to follow the vehicle icon. Simply touch the map scale and the map tools bar will appear. Use the zoom icons (+ or - magnifying glasses) to select your new detail level. To return to the previous page, simply touch the white arrow at the top of the map tools bar. Note that you can use this feature whether you are in driving or in routing mode.

In the example above, your current driving position always appears on the Map page. Another StreetPilot feature allows you to "look ahead" on the Map page so that you can view areas beyond your current position, but without interrupting the function of the Map page. Simply touch any area on the Map page EXCEPT for the map scale. As in the example above, the map tools bar will appear. The differences are that the map pointer will also appear on the Map page, and the Map page itself will stay stationary until you move (pan) the Map page. The vehicle icon will continue to move along your route, but you will be able to move beyond your current position as you pan.

Next Turn Page

Take roundabout to 2nd exit 0.3 00:27

Your StreetPilot safely navigates you through roundabouts, interstate traffic, and all other types of road navigation.

The NEXT TURN page announces the same instructions for an upcoming turn 3 times:

• Immediately after you make a turn, the Next Turn page announces the next upcoming turn, as well as the distance to that turn. Thus, if the next turn is not for 20 miles, you do not need to worry about navigation instructions for quite a while.
• As you are close to approaching the upcoming turn, the Next Turn page appears again. This message is announced in order to alert you to change lanes if necessary and start looking for signs in anticipation of the upcoming turn.
• Just before the upcoming turn, the Next Turn page appears one last time for that particular turn. You should be in view of the turn.

Use this feature whether you are simply driving with your StreetPilot turned on (driving Map page) or navigating a route (routing Map page). To return to the Map page with the original navigation so that you can see the vehicle icon, touch the arrow in the top left corner.

Next Turn Page

As you are driving during an active route, the Map page continues to display in routing mode until your StreetPilot alerts you that you are near a turn. When this happens, a Next Turn page appears. It provides a graphic visual and gives text instructions, as shown below:

Route Line

Exit 222A right to I-435 E/US-169/ US-50 6.3° 05:29

An upcoming turn is placed here. This screen disappears after a few seconds. If you need to see it again, simply press SPEAK and it will reappear.

Shows how many miles until you reach the upcoming turn.

Shows the approximate time left until you reach the upcoming turn.

An added bonus to the Next Turn feature is that the StreetPilot "voice" announces upcoming turns. Thus, if you cannot safely view the Next Turn page, you can hear the directions.

The Next Turn page above disappears after a few seconds and then the page which you were previously viewing will reappear. If you wish to clear the Next Turn page and return to the previous page, press PAGE (you can also press QUIT on the remote). If you wish to see the Next Turn page again, simply press SPEAK and it will reappear. You will also be able to hear the announcement.

When you are not navigating a route, the Next Turn page is no longer available.

Current Route Page

Still another bonus while navigating a route is the Current Route page, which provides step-by-step route instructions, all on one page. Simply press PAGE from your StreetPilot (or from the remote control) and the Current Route page appears:

Scroll bar

The bottom number gives the approximate time that you should reach the next turn.

The top number shows how much time (in minutes or in hours) until the next turn.

The text column explains the upcoming driving instructions.

The numbered column shows how many miles until the next turn.

Direction of turn

The Current Route page keeps a log of your entire route. Thus, you can look beyond the next turn and even get an estimated idea of what time you will reach an upcoming turn provided you don't make stops along the way.

You can scroll through the entire list by moving the scroll bar up or down. Highlight and touch any of the turns on the list to view the Next Turn page for that turn.

Trip Information Page

While navigating a route, you can access yet another page, the Trip Information page. If you are making a long trip, you may find the Trip Information page to be very useful. It indicates your current speed and many helpful statistics about your trip.

Be certain to reset the Trip Computer before beginning a trip (see next page). If you make frequent stops, leave the StreetPilot powered on in order to receive satellites. This allows the unit to accurately measure elapsed time during the trip. Note, however, that this might be impossible since some vehicles disconnect power to the cigarette lighter when the ignition is turned off.

The following trip information is displayed on the Trip Information page:

Time of Day - Current time. This appears at the top left-hand side of the page.

Compass Ribbon – Shows your current compass heading while moving with a red indicator arrow.

Speed - This is the current vehicle speed, displayed in miles or kilometers per hour.

Odometer - A running total of distance traveled, based upon the distance between second-by-second location readings, since the Trip Computer was last reset.

Mileage Log – Allows you to use up to four different mileage odometers for recording trip distances. You can also rename each mileage log (see next page).

Driving Avg - Your average speed of travel during the time the vehicle has been in motion since the Trip Computer was last reset.

Overall Avg - Your average speed of travel (including time stopped) during the time the StreetPilot has been tracking your location since, the Trip Computer was last reset.

Max Speed - The maximum speed recorded since the Trip Computer was last reset. Max Speed can also be reset individually without resetting other Trip Computer information.

Driving Time - The length of time that the vehicle has been in motion since the Trip Computer was last reset.

Stopped Time – The length of time that the vehicle has been stopped (or stationary) during the time the StreetPilot has been tracking your location since the Trip Computer was last reset.

Total Time - The total length of time that the StreetPilot has been tracking your location since the Trip Computer was last reset. This is always equal to Driving Time plus Stopped Time.

To reset the Trip Computer or the Maximum Speed:

1. Press the unit or remote MENU key to display a 'Menu' page. You can also select the blue round buttons to the right of the main odometer or Max Speed (in which case you can skip to step 3).
2. From the 'Menu' page, select 'Reset Trip' to reset the Trip Computer or 'Reset Max Spd' to reset the Maximum Speed.
3. Select 'Yes' at the verification page to complete the reset.

Driving with Dead Reckoning

Satellite Status Dead Reckoning Accuracy 25° Elevation 1064° Speed 0.0" 03-FEB-04 04:35:33" N 38°51.335' WAAS W094°47.926' Disabled 04 05 06 10 13 17 21 24 26 29 30 ...

The only way you can tell that your StreetPilot is using Dead Reckoning is to view the GPS Information page. See page 56 for more information on GPS.

Driving with Dead Reckoning (2660 Only)

The StreetPilot 2660 comes with dead reckoning capabilities, which means that you continue to get navigation guidance even if you lose GPS reception, such as when you are travelling in dense urban environments with tall buildings and tunnels.

To achieve dead reckoning, the 2660 utilizes an internal angular rate sensor, an external speed sensor input, and an external reverse light sensor input. A special dead reckoning cable is connected to your vehicle's speedometer and backup lights (it must be professionally installed by an authorized Garmin installer). Thus, when you lose GPS reception, your StreetPilot can acknowledge your turns as well as your distance travelled while you are driving. In this way, it can continue to accurately give navigation guidance until your GPS reception returns. Driving with dead reckoning capabilities is so seamless, you will not even know that you do not have GPS reception.

You can simply unplug the dead reckoning cable from the vehicle adapter if you want to use the StreetPilot 2660 in another vehicle. It will navigate the same way as the StreetPilot 2620.

Finding Places

Use the FIND feature on your StreetPilot unit (or remote) to take the guess work out of locating a city street, restaurant, or hotel. You can even use FIND to see what rest areas are approaching as you near an exit on the Interstate.

Finding a City

Select the Cities icon from the Find menu. A list of cities will appear, as well as each city's direction and distance from your current position as indicated by the Near Here tab. Use the scroll bar on the right side of the page to view the entire list of cities. The Near Here tab lists cities that are closest to your current physical location or, if you have panned to an area away from your current location, to your map pointer.

You can find cities in many ways. Touch the down arrow (▼) on the Near Here tab and you will see a variety of options. (Note that these options appear depending upon whether you are currently navigating a route or panning your Map page).

• By Name: Use By Name if you want to spell out the name of the city you seek; use the mini keyboard that appears when you select By Name. Note that when you use By Name, all city names that are loaded in your mapping software will be searched. For example, if you are searching for Greensboro, N.C., your search (using By Name) will return a list of all Greensboros in the U.S.
• Near Other: Use Near Other to find a city that is not in your immediate location. For example, of you are physically in Kansas and you want to find a city in Colorado, select Near Other and a map of the U.S. will appear. Touch an area in Colorado that is close to the city you wish to identity, and then touch the check mark that appears in the upper right-hand corner of your Map page. A new list of cities in Colorado will appear. (Note that when the list of cities appears, the tab will change from Near Other to Near Map Pointer. This is because the StreetPilot is searching for cities that are located near the current position of your map pointer, not your current physical location.)

If your search returns a large list of cities, you can narrow the search by touching the Filter tab. For example, if you are looking for Fort Collins, Colorado, type "Fort" on the Filter page and touch OK. The

Advanced feature: As a alternative to panning and then touching an area in Colorado when using By Other, you can enter the coordinates of a specific area if you know them. Press the MENU key and then select the Enter As Text icon. Then, enter your coordinates.

• Near Map Pointer: Use Near Map Pointer to find cities that are near the area to which you have placed the map pointer while panning.
• Near [Destination]: Use Near [Destination] if you are currently navigating a route and you want to view a list of cities that are near your destination. For example, if you are currently navigating a route from Denver to Salt Lake City (Near Salt Lake City), your StreetPilot will return a list of all cities near Salt Lake City.

Once you find the city you seek, touch the name and an information page will appear. Touch the green flag on the lower left-hand side of the page if you want to mark the city as a waypoint, or Show Map if you want to see the city on the Map page (see page 10 for an example), or Go To if you want your StreetPilot to navigate to this city.

Finding an Address or Intersection

Touch the Addresses or Intersections icon from the Find menu. In both cases, a page appears that allows you to enter pertinent street information

To enter the number or street name, touch the black text field that appears to the right of the Number and Street fields. A mini keyboard will appear; touch the pertinent numbers/letters to complete the street names.

The StreetPilot initially limits its searches to addresses or intersections within the state/province in which you are currently physically located, or where the map pointer is located if you have panned to an area away from your current location. Thus, to narrow your search, particularly if you are trying to locate a street or intersection in another city or state/province, touch the Limit to box and select one of the Limit To options: No Limit, Enter a City, Enter a State/Province, or Enter a Postal Code. Try to narrow your search as much as possible to return fewer results. Entering the city name or zip code will significantly narrow your list.

When you enter street names, do not enter directional words such as "West" or types of streets such as "Avenue" or "Parkway." For example, if you are looking for "E. 205 Elm Ave," enter "205" in the Number field and "Elm" in the Street field. Then press Find. A list of possible matches will appear on a Select Address page. Touch the address you are seeking, and it will appear on an Address page.

Touch the green flag on the lower left-hand side of the Address page if you want to mark the location as a waypoint, or Show Map if you want to see the address/intersection on the Map page (see page 10 for an example), or Go To if you want your StreetPilot to navigate to the address/intersection.

Note: If your search returns a large list of possible matches, narrow the list by adding directional words and types of streets ("West," "Ave") via the Refine Street feature. From the Find Address page, press the StreetPilot's MENU key. A Menu page will appear. Select the Refine Street icon. Add the additional information. Select OK, and all information will appear on the Find Address (or Find Intersection) page. Select Find, and the address or intersection you are seeking will appear on an information page.

Finding Interesting Places to Eat, Sleep, Shop, and Visit

A fun feature of your StreetPilot is being able to locate interesting and exciting places all over the U.S. without having to ask for directions to get there. If you are new to a town and you need to find a bank or car wash, touch the Services icon from the Find menu. If you are driving through town on vacation and you want to stop and eat, touch the Food & Drink icon. If you are planning a camping trip in North Carolina and want to find campgrounds that are nearest to the Outer Banks, touch the Lodging icon.

You can use the following icons (options) when you want to search for businesses, parks, and other points of interest: Food & Drink, Lodging, Services, Entertainment, Attractions, Shopping, Transportation, and Emergency & Government. All of these options are subgroups of the All Points of Interest option, which returns the largest list of places. Your StreetPilot searches for places the same way for all options listed above.

Assume, for example, that you are currently navigating a route from Kansas City to St. Louis. As you are driving along the Interstate, you decide that you want to look for a place to eat along the route. To do this, press the unit's FIND key, and then select the Food & Drink icon from the Find menu. A list of places to eat that are along your entire route from Kansas City to St. Louis (and within a 1/2 mile corridor width of any point on your route) will appear under the Near Current Route tab. The list displays places that are located ahead of or a short distance behind you. This is useful information if you are in a part of the country where eating places are sparse; you can see how many miles away the nearest restaurant is on your route. You may have to backtrack if you discover that you just passed the nearest restaurant for many miles. Or, you can view the list to see if your favorite restaurant happens to be located on or near your route, and how far away it is. To reduce the number of results, use the Filter tab to type in the entire name or part of the name of the restaurant.

If your search does not reveal very many restaurants because you are in a sparsely-populated area, consider widening the search area (corridor width) along your route. From the list of places that appeared under the Near Current Route tab, press the unit's MENU key. From the Menu page that appears, select the Search Within icon. You can then elect to expand your search for restaurants that are up to 1, 2, 5, or 15 miles along your current route. A new list will appear.

In addition to the Near Current Route tab, here are additional tab options for finding places:

• Near Here: Whereas Near Current Route lists places along your entire route, Near Here finds places that are near your current physical location.
• Near [Destination]: Use Near [Destination] to find places that are located at the end of your route. Thus, if you are travelling to Phoenix, the Near Phoenix tab will return places that are only within the vicinity of Phoenix.
• Near Map Pointer: Use Near Map Pointer to find places that are near the area to which you have placed the map pointer while panning.
• By Name: Use By Name to spell out the name of the place you seek; use the mini keyboard that appears when you select By Name. Note that when you use By Name, all places that are loaded in your mapping software will be searched. For example, if you are searching for McDonald's, your search will return a list of all McDonald's in the U.S.
• Near Other: Use Near Other to find a place that is not in your immediate location. See the discussion on using Near Other in the Finding a City topic in this section of the manual.

When you find the name of the restaurant or other place you seek (no matter which search method you used), touch the name of the restaurant and its address and telephone number will appear. Touch the green flag in the lower left-hand side of the screen if you want to mark the eatery as a waypoint, or Show Map if you want to see it on the Map page (see page 10 for an example), or Go To if you want your StreetPilot to navigate to the restaurant.

Finding an Exit

Select Exits from the Find menu to locate exits on highways, freeways, and interstates throughout the U.S. This is useful information if you are travelling and need to stop at an exit with a service station or when you need to find the nearest rest area. When you initially select Exits, your StreetPilot lists all exits on the highway or interstate that are closest to your current location. If you are driving on Interstate 40 near Albuquerque, for example, your StreetPilot will list all upcoming exits on I-40. Use the scroll bar on the

Waypoints that you have created and stored in the StreetPilot can be found by touching the Waypoints icon from the Find menu. (See page 11 for more information on creating waypoints.) Here are the possible tab options that might appear:

• Near Here: Use Near Here to find waypoints that are near your current physical location.
• Near [Destination]: Use Near [Destination] to find waypoints that are located at the end of your route if you are in "routing" mode. Thus, if you are travelling to Phoenix, the Near Phoenix tab will return waypoints you have created that are within the vicinity of Phoenix.
• Near Map Pointer: Use Near Map Pointer to find waypoints that are near the area to which you have placed the map pointer while panning.
• By Name: Use By Name if you want to spell out the name of the waypoint you seek; use the mini keyboard that appears when you select By Name. Note that when you use By Name, all waypoints you have created will be searched.
• Near Other: Use Near Other to find a waypoint that is not in your immediate location. See the discussion on using Near Other in the Finding a City topic in this section of the manual.

When you find the name of the waypoint you seek (no matter which search method you used), touch the waypoint name and a Waypoint Review page will appear, displaying the longitude and latitude coordinates of the waypoint. Touch Show Map if you want to see the waypoint on the Map page, or Go To if you want your StreetPilot to navigate to the waypoint. Touch Delete if you want to remove this waypoint from your StreetPilot's memory.

Advanced Find Features

Main Map Feature: As was discussed above, you can view a selected location (an eatery, a hotel, waypoint, or city, for example) on the Map page when you select Show Map. The Map page will include additional information such as current coordinates, current location name, and miles from your current position (see the examples in the right-hand column on this page). If you would like to see the location on a cleaner Map page, press the unit's MENU key and then select the Locate on Main Map icon. All extraneous information will disappear.

Measuring Distance to a Place: When you select Show Map to view a place, city, and street you have found on the Map page, you can also perform a straight-line measurement of that place to see the distance from it to your current position or any other location. To view this measuring tool, press the unit's MENU key and then select the Measure Distance icon. A new Map page will appear, showing the place, city, or street, with a line pointing back to your current physical location. See Measuring Distances Between Two Places, page 36, for more information.

Finding Places

Planning a Trip

As you have discovered while reading this section, you can search for places by using a variety of "find" methods. If you are planning a trip and would like to find lodging, restaurants, and interesting places ahead of time, consider using the "chain find" method below. (Note: Follow these instructions while you are in a stationary position and are not in "routing" mode.)

1. Find the city which you plan to visit. See 'Finding a City' in this section of this manual for more instructions if necessary. Touch the name of the city so that the information about it will appear. In our example, Fraser, CO is chosen.
2. While still on the information page for Fraser, press your StreetPilot's FIND key and select the Lodging icon to look for a place to stay in Fraser. Your StreetPilot will return the names of places to lodge. Touch the name of your desired lodging place to view the information page about it and so that the lodge will be saved in your Recent Finds list. In our example, Angelmark Bed and Breakfast is the lodging place.
3. From the information page for Angelmark Bed and Breakfast, press the FIND key and select the Food & Drink icon. A list of all eating establishments near Angelmark Bed and Breakfast will display. Touch the name of your desired eating place to view the information page about it and so that the restaurant will be saved in your Recent Finds list.

Finding "Recently-Found" Places

Your StreetPilot keeps track of the places you find and stores the 30 most recent finds in its memory. Thus, if you want to create a route to a place you have recently found, touch Recent Finds from the Find menu. Or, press down and hold the FIND key on your StreetPilot or remote control.

Your 30 most recent finds will appear. The most recently-reviewed item will be at the top of each list. If you cannot find your sought-after place quickly, touch the All tab and narrow your search by selecting Points of Interest, Addresses & Intersections, or Other. If necessary, scroll down the new list to find your place.

Note that the StreetPilot only stores places that you actually view. Let's say, for example, that you do a search for restaurants and five names appear. If you view information on two of them, then these two restaurants will be stored in your Recent Finds list.

Deleting "Recently-Found" Places

If you wish to delete a place from the Recent Finds list, simply touch the place's name and an information page for that place will appear. Then, touch Delete, as shown at right.

Alternatively, while you are on the Recent Finds list page, press MENU from your StreetPilot or remote to reveal a new Menu page, shown below. From this menu, you can delete the current highlighted recent find, or you can delete the entire list that includes this recent find. You can also completely delete all recent

Creating Routes

Route Menu Routing Setup New Route List Set HOME Wappoint

Access the Route Menu above by pressing and holding down on the MENU/ROUTE key from your StreetPilot or remote control. The first time you access this menu, you will see limited options. Your first step, then, is to select New to create a route.

Active Route: Kansas Speedway from E 151st St Recalculate Stop Route Add/Edit Vias Detour Return to Start Routing Setup New Route List Save Route HOME

The options shown above appear while you are navigating or simulating a route.

Creating your own Routes

Use the ROUTE feature on your StreetPilot unit to create vacation routes, routes to a job interview or garage sale, or anywhere! Once you create and save the route, you can retrieve it when you need it and you won't have to stop to ask for directions or consult a map.

NOTE: Creating and/or changing routes while driving is dangerous and is not encouraged. Consider creating and running routes in "simulated mode." Set your StreetPilot to indoor use by pressing MENU on the unit and selecting the 'Use Indoors' icon. This will turn off GPS capability and allow you to run your routes in simulated mode. To further ensure safety, consider creating and saving routes before you travel. See Saving a Route in this section of the manual.

The Route Menu lists many options for creating routes. To access the Route Menu, press and hold the MENU/ROUTE key on your StreetPilot or remote for two seconds. You can also press MENU, then select the Route icon. The options below are available, although all may not appear when you view this page for the first time or if you have not yet created a route. When you create a route and activate it, the following options appear:

Recalculate - Recalculates the active route for faster time or shorter distance. This option is available only when you are viewing an active (or simulated) route.

Stop or Resume Route – Stops the current active (or simulated) route or resumes a stopped route.

Add/Edit Vias – Adds or removes an extra stop to be reached on the way to a final destination. A list of via points can also be sorted by their closest distance from you, creating an optimal route that intersects all vias. This option is available only when you are viewing an active (or simulated) route.

Detour - Calculates a new route to a destination by avoiding part of the current route. This option is available only when you are viewing an active (or simulated) route.

Return to Start – Reverses the route and returns you to the point from which you initiated the route.

Routing Setup – Allows you to control routing preference settings.

New – Allows you to create and activate an entirely new route.

Route List – Selects a route to start from a list of saved routes.

Save – Saves the active route, or the last route you activated.

Creating your First Route

Creating routes are fast and easy once you become familiar with and understand the various steps and options.

To start a new Route:

1. From the 'Route Menu,' select 'New.' A 'Start Point' window appears.
2. From the 'Start Point' window, select one of the three options: Current Location, Use Map, or Find.

3. Once you select an option, the 'Start Point' window disappears and an 'End Point' window appears. Note that the same options mentioned in Step 2 appear here. Select the appropriate option.

4. The 'End Point' window disappears and a 'Route Preference' window appears. Select one of the three options: Faster Time, Shorter Distance, or Off Road.

5. A thumbnail route map appears in the lower left-hand corner of the Map page as the unit calculates the route, as shown on the diagram at right. A voice prompt sounds and a magenta route line appears. The unit is now ready to navigate the new route.

Current Location, Use Map, and Find

Your StreetPilot attempts to help you find your starting and ending points for creating routes as quickly and as easily as possible. Thus, it allows you three options for building your route:

Current Location — Choose this option if you want the route to begin (or end) at your current physical location (you are at work, home, at an out-of-town conference, for example).

Use Map — Choose this option if you want to find your location by panning on the Map page. When the

Find — Choose this option if you want to find a known place such as a restaurant, hotel, waypoint, or an address. Use the Find option in the same way that it is discussed in the last section, Finding Places by Using the FIND Menu.

Route Preference Window

Once you mark your start and end points for a route, you can decide how you want the route to be calculated: by using the fastest time, by taking the shortest distance, or by travelling off route.

Faster Time — Choose this option if you want your StreetPilot to use time as the criteria for calculating your route. This means that the driving time will be shorter but the distance might be longer.

Shorter Distance — Choose this option if you want your StreetPilot to use distance as the criteria for calculating your route. This means that the distance might be shorter but you may have to drive longer.

Off Road — Choose this option to view a direct-line route to your destination. This option does not provide a turn-by-turn route. It merely displays a straight line from your end point to your start point; the voice guidance tells you the direction and distance to your destination. Use this option if you are travelling where obscure roads (or no roads) might be.

As soon as your route is created, your StreetPilot begins to navigate the route. If at any time you wish to STOP a route, select Stop Route from the Route menu. To RESUME the route, select Resume Route.

Setting a HOME Waypoint

Your StreetPilot includes a special feature that allows you to set a HOME waypoint that can be your home, office, or any other place to which you return most often. Once set, you can opt to go "HOME." For example, if you are driving in a new city or down an unknown street and you want to easily find your way home, simply press your StreetPilot's FIND key two times. A window asking you to verify that you want to

route home will appear. Select Yes, and your StreetPilot will then direct you to your HOME location.

To set a HOME Waypoint:

1. Press down and hold the MENU key from your StreetPilot or remote control. A 'Route Menu' page appears. (As an alternative, simply press your StreetPilot's FIND key two times. Then, go to Step 3 below.)
2. From the 'Route Menu' page, select 'Set HOME Waypoint.' A 'Set HOME Waypoint' page appears.
3. Select one of the three options: Current Location, Use Map, and Find (these options are discussed on page 29).
4. Once you select an option, find your location using this option. Touch 'OK' when you have found your location. A 'New Waypoint' page appears.
5. From the 'New Waypoint' page, touch 'OK.' Your Home waypoint is set.

At your request, your StreetPilot will create a route for you to go to your HOME location while you are on the road. Simply press your StreetPilot's FIND key two times. A window asking you to verify that you want to route home will appear. Select Yes, and your StreetPilot will then redirect you to your HOME location.

Changing your HOME Waypoint

If you travel frequently, you may want to change your HOME waypoint to the hotel at the conference you are attending or to the relative's house at which you are vacationing. Then, as you explore the surrounding area, you can use the Route HOME feature to return you to your lodging place. To change your HOME waypoint, you must first delete the existing HOME waypoint. Do this by pressing FIND from your StreetPilot, and then selecting the Waypoints icon. Find and select your HOME waypoint. When the Waypoint Review page appears, touch Delete. Select Yes to confirm that you really want to delete your HOME waypoint. Create a new HOME waypoint by following instructions above.

Saving a Route

Your StreetPilot always remembers the last route you created. Thus, you can save the route either during the navigation or after the route is complete. In either case, simply press and hold the MENU/ROUTE key on your StreetPilot or remote control to access the Route menu. The name of your current/completed route will appear at the top of the Route menu. Select the Save icon and a Route Saved page will appear. If necessary, change the name of the route to something more meaningful to you by touching the route's current name. Enter your new name by using the mini keyboard that will appear. Touch OK to save the route.

Route Saved Kansas Speedway from E 151st St OK

Your StreetPilot can hold up to 50 saved routes. Thus, if you have saved routes prior to taking a trip, you only need to retrieve the appropriate route and activate it as you prepare to leave. To select a route from a list of saved routes, select Route List from the Route menu. A list of your saved routes will appear. Touch the name of your desired route. A new page will appear which gives you the opportunity to rename, delete, or activate the route. You can also advance to the next route or move back to your previous route on the route list.

Deleting or Renaming a Saved Route

You can delete a single route or all of the saved routes that exist in your StreetPilot. You can also rename a saved route. To do this, select Route List from the Route Menu. A Route List page will appear.

To delete or rename a single route, highlight the intended route from the Route List page. Information about that route will appear. Select Rename to personalize the route name (if necessary) by using the mini keyboard. Select Delete to remove the route from your Route List. Select Next to view information on the next route in your Route List. Select Activate to navigate this route.

Should you decide to delete all routes you have created (particularly if they are merely practice routes), select Route List from the Route Menu. When the Route List page appears, press the MENU key from your

StreetPilot or remote control. A Menu page, shown at right, will appear:

Select Delete All to delete all routes in your Route List.

Modifying a Route

After you have practiced creating and saving simple routes, then you are ready to learn how to modify them to suit more specific needs.

Recalculating a Route

If you decide to temporarily part from your current route, you can select Recalculate from the Route menu to calculate a new route from your current location to your destination. The StreetPilot will recalculate and update your route.

Adding a Detour

While you are navigating a route, you might come to a roadblock or other obstruction that will create a need for you to take a detour from your current route. If this happens, simply select the Detour icon from the Route menu. A Detour Distance window will appear. You can alter your route for either 1/2, 1, 2, 5, or 15 miles. If you are in New York City, for example, and you see that the next few blocks are unusually congested with traffic, you might want to opt for a 1/2-mile detour.

Once you select a distance, your StreetPilot will calculate a new route and provide you with new instructions. Note that, on some routes, the route you are currently taking might be the only reasonable option. In this case, you will not be able to take a detour. Also, your StreetPilot makes every possible attempt to get you back on the original route at your requested distance; however, the distance may be longer if no other roads exist that can get you back to the original route.

Your StreetPilot remembers detours you set each time this route is calculated until you stop the current navigation or until you turn off the unit.

Adding Via Points

Via points are extra stops you'd like to make on your way to a final destination. You can add up to 250 via points. When you have entered all of them, your StreetPilot can arrange them in the most efficient order (called auto arrange) so that you can visit each point without a lot of extra driving.

Before you can add via points to a particular route, you must first activate that route. Remember, you don't have to be in your vehicle to activate a route; you can activate it in your home or at the office. Also, you can add via points to a route that you have previously saved (which you can retrieve and activate from the Route List), or one that you have just created.

Once the route is activated, follow the instructions below.

To add a Via Point to the Active Route:

1. Press and hold the unit or remote MENU key for two seconds to view the 'Active Route' menu. Select 'Add/Edit Vias.' An 'Edit Vias' page appears. Note that your current destination appears on this page.
2. Select 'Add Via Point.' An 'Add Via Point' page appears with two options for finding your location: 'Use Map' or 'Find.'
3. Select an option from the 'Add Via Point' page. For more help on using these options, see Finding Places Using the FIND Menu in the previous section of this manual. When you have entered the desired location, an information page about this location appears.
4. Select 'Add As Via' on the information page. The new via point is added to the 'Edit Vias' page.
5. Select 'Done' on the 'Edit Vias' page. Your original route is automatically recalculated to include the newly added via point. (Note: If you touch the X in the top right corner of the 'Edit Vias' page, your StreetPilot will remove the newly-created via point and continue to use the original route.)
6. To add more via points, select 'Add Another' from the 'Edit Vias' page and repeat steps 3-5 above.

Arranging Via Points

If you add more than one via point, you may want to arrange the order of the stops (or points) on the route to minimize route length. In the example at right, numerous stops have been added to a trip to the Kansas Speedway. The order is random because all via points have just been added. Note that the highlighted via point, Olathe J, is fourth on the list.

If you have a definite order for the places you would like to visit, you can arrange the order by highlighting a via point and moving it up or down by using the up/down arrows on the Edit Vias page. Thus, if you wish to make Olathe J second on your route, move it accordingly, as shown at right. Note that you can also change the final destination (Kansas Speedway) by manually moving a via point into the final position that displays the blue checkered flag.

To create a route through all via points that is optimized for distance, simply select Auto Arrange from the Edit Vias page (as shown at right). A window appears that asks if you also want your destination point to be reordered. Answer Yes, and the unit arranges all of your stops, including the destination point. Answer No, and the unit arranges all of your stops EXCEPT the destination point.

Deleting Via Points

If you decide that you no longer want to visit one of your via points, simply touch that point to reveal information about the selected via point. Select Remove and then select Yes to verify, and the via point will be removed from your route.

Customizing your StreetPilot 2620/2660

If you've experimented with creating routes and finding places using your StreetPilot, you may feel you're ready to customize it to suit your navigational needs. Take a moment to look at the options in this section and decide which features you'd like to customize.

Adjusting the Backlight and Contrast

The StreetPilot touchscreen display and keys are illuminated for operation at night or in bright sunlight. Backlight intensity and screen contrast are adjustable. When operating the StreetPilot at extreme temperatures, you may find that minor adjustments are needed to obtain the clearest screen.

To adjust screen backlighting and contrast:

1. Press the remote or unit MENU key. Select 'Display' from the 'Menu' page.
2. Adjust the backlight and the contrast to the desired level by experimenting with various bright and contrast combinations. To have the unit automatically adjust the brightness, place a check in the 'Automatic Brightness' box. For optimum Automatic Brightness results, set the brightness to a middle level. If Automatic Brightness is checked, the lower the brightness slide level is set, the sooner the unit reaches a minimum brightness level. The unit automatically adjusts the level depending on ambient light conditions. (Note: If Auto Brightness is checked and you move the 'brightness' slider bar to its highest setting, the brightness for the unit will not be able to automatically adjust itself.)

Turning off Satellite Reception for Indoor Use

Use Indoors (or) Use Outdoors — The Use Indoors option stops satellite reception, speeds Map page drawing, and is used for practicing with the unit. The 'Use Outdoors' option receives satellites for real-time navigation.

Customizing your Map Page

You can customize they way information appears on the Map page in order to make your viewing experience more pleasurable. For example, you can change the color of the Map page, show more or less detail on the Map page, or even prevent items such as railroads from appearing on the Map page.

Many of your changes to the Map page can be made by pressing the Map Setup icon on the Menu page. Access the Menu page by pressing the MENU key on your StreetPilot. A Map Setup page appears, which features five tabbed sections: Map, Line, Point, City, and Area.

Note that your StreetPilot's factory settings (or default settings) do not need to be changed in order for your unit to function completely. Experiment with a variety of settings as you become more familiar with your StreetPilot. If you do not like your trial settings, you can change some or all of them. See the following page for instructions on resetting all of your customized settings on the Map Setup page.

Map tab

Map Detail — Adjusts the amount of detail that will be displayed on your Map page. Most shows maximum detail and Least shows minimum detail. The higher the detail level, the slower the map redrawing time. Select Most once you have focused in on a small map area and wish to view lots of detail in that area.

Orientation — Selecting North Up displays the map with North at the top. Selecting Track Up automatically rotates the map to keep your current direction of travel at the top of the page. A white North indicator is displayed on the map when in the Track Up mode. The indicator always points to North. An 'N' with a black arrow pointing up displays while in North Up. To quickly change the map orientation, touch the Orientation icon in the upper left to toggle between North Up and Track Up.

Color Mode — Select between Day, Night, or Automatic for best viewing conditions. Day shows a mostly yellow background. Night shows a black background for less intensity in a dark environment, which provides easier viewing while driving at night. Automatic allows your StreetPilot to automatically switch between the two (depending on the time of day as well as the StreetPilot's calculation of sunrise and sunset).

Line tab — Controls how the track log, railroads, and street labels are displayed on the Map page. By default, railroad names are not displayed.

Point tab — Controls how waypoints, exits, and POIs (points of interest) are displayed on the Map page.

City tab — Controls how cities of various sizes are displayed on the Map page.

Area tab — Controls how rivers, lakes, parks, and other areas such as airports, shopping malls, and hospitals are displayed on the Map page.

Each of the tabs above contain two common settings: Text Size and Max Zoom;

Text Size — Specifies how large or small the names of items on your Map page will display. For example, you may want names of lakes to appear in medium letters and names of large cities to be in tall letters. You may want the names of parks to appear in short letters or not appear at all. If you do not want the name of an item to appear on the Map page, select Off in the Text Size field.

Max Zoom — Specifies the maximum map scale at which a map item displays. If AUTO is selected, the maximum map scale is determined by the Detail setting to prevent your Map page from becoming too cluttered. If OFF is selected, the item will not be shown.

Some map data is only visible at certain zoom scale ranges. For example, you may set Street Label (from the Line tab) to a Max Zoom of 200 miles, but the street names would not show above a 0.8 mile zoom scale. Setting the Max Zoom to Auto generally gives the best display performance.

Resetting Map Setup Default Settings

You may reset (restore) map settings for each individual setup tab or for all tabs. First, make certain you are on the Map Setup page. If you want to reset one tab setting, make certain that tab is highlighted on the Map Setup page. Then, press the MENU key from your StreetPilot or remote. A Menu page appears. From

the Menu page, select the Reset Settings icon. All settings for that tab will reset to its original settings. Select the Reset All Settings icon if you want to restore every original setting on the Map Setup page.

Hiding/Showing Data Tabs on your Map Page

As you have discovered while using your StreetPilot, the data tabs on the Map page display offer a variety of useful information. You can also customize what type of information appears in each data tab and you can change the color of the data fields. You can even hide the data tabs if you do not want them to appear while you are driving. Before you customize the tabs, recall that your StreetPilot uses two different sets of display tabs, depending on your navigation mode. When you are simply driving down the road with your StreetPilot turned on but you are not navigating a route (driving mode), you will see Mapping tabs. When you are navigating an active route (routing mode), you will see Routing tabs.

Mapping tabs are displayed when you are merely driving down the road with your StreetPilot turned on (driving mode).

Using the 'Calculate Routes for' option allows you to take full advantage of the routing information contained in the StreetPilot's mapping software for planning the most efficient route for your type of vehicle.

The following options are available:

• Car/Motorcycle
  • Truck (large semi-tractor/trailer/lorry)
  • Bus
  • Emergency (ambulance, fire department, police, etc.)
  • Taxi
  • Delivery (delivery vehicles)

• Pedestrian

Preference setting for all route calculations. This setting is recommended if you usually have the same preference for your routes.

Calculation Method – Allows you to control how thoroughly the StreetPilot searches for the perfect route. A trade-off exists between the length of time the unit takes to find a route and the quality of that route (given the calculation criterion selected under Route Preference settings). The following options are available:

• Quickest Calculation: This calculation returns the fastest results, but it might not find the best route.
• Quick Calculation: This takes a bit more time to calculate than the 'Quickest Calculation' method, but generates a better quality route.
• Better Route: This generates an even better quality route, but uses a longer calculation time than the 'Quick Calculation' method.
• Best Route: This generates the most optimal route, but takes the longest time to calculate.

Calculate Routes for – Lets you take full advantage of the routing information built into the StreetPilot's mapping software. Some roads have vehicle-based restrictions. For example, a street or gate may be accessible by emergency vehicles only, or a residential street may not allow commercial trucking traffic. By specifying which vehicle type you are driving, you optimize the route for your vehicle type. Likewise, the StreetPilot may give you access to roads or turns that wouldn't be available to normal traffic.

Avoidance button

The Avoidance button appears on the Routing tab and allows you to avoid certain road types that may be undesirable on your route. The StreetPilot will use these road types only if alternative routes take you too far out of your way or if no other road is available.

• U-Turns: If checked, the StreetPilot does not direct you to make a U-turn on non-divided highways.
• Toll Roads: If checked, the StreetPilot avoids entering toll roads.
  • Highways: If checked, the StreetPilot avoids routing you along interstates and major highways.
• Unpaved Roads: If checked, the StreetPilot avoids unpaved surfaces.

- Custom Avoids: You can create a list of roads or areas you would like to avoid. Select Custom Avoids and an Avoid List page will appear. Select Add Avoid. From there, choose Avoid Road or Avoid Area.

- Avoid Road: Choose this option if you want to map out a few sections of a road or even an entire road to avoid. A Map page appears, enabling you to mark a "start point" on a road.

Custom Road Preferences button

The Custom Road Preferences button appears on the Routing tab and allows you create a customized preference for route calculation. For example, if you plan to take a trip that includes scenic routes, move the Medium Road Category preference bar towards Prefer and the Major Road Category towards Avoid. Your unit attempts to create routes that primarily use medium roads over larger roads. If you do not change any of the Road Category settings (Major, Medium, Minor), the overall Custom Road Preferences setting is equivalent to the Shorter Time setting on the Route Preference window (see page 47).

As you continue to drive with your StreetPilot, it remembers and stores your driving habits. Thus, if you want your unit to automatically optimize the custom route preferences based on your driving habits; simply select the Auto Set button. For example, if you tend to drive slower than expected on minor roads, then the Auto Set option should move the Minor Road Category preference bar towards Avoid to cause the unit to avoid these roads even more than normal.

Select the Reset button if you want the original settings to display.

Note: When you customize this page or use Auto Set, these settings appear as a Custom option on the Route Preference window (see page 47). If you choose to select the Custom option, the Custom Road Preferences page will reappear, giving you an opportunity to further customize the settings.

Once the log is full, new track points replace the oldest track points. The beginning of the track contains the earliest point while the end contains the most recent ones. The display of the track log on the map can be turned on and off from the Map Setup page (the default is Off). This is primarily for users who are driving off road.

Recording - Select On to record tracks or Off to stop tracks from being recorded.

Percentage Full – Shows the percentage of track memory used.

Clear Track – Clears all of the points of the track log from memory. To clear the track, select Clear Track and then select Yes.

Language tab

The StreetPilot language setup feature allows you to change the languages used for on-screen text and for voice prompting.

Understanding the GPS Information Page

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 Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but the government made the system available for civilian use in the 1980s. GPS works in any weather condition, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.

GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to Earth. The GPS receiver that is located in your StreetPilot takes this information and uses triangulation to calculate your exact location. Essentially, the GPS receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. The time difference tells the GPS receiver how far away the satellite is. Now, with distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine your position and display it on the StreetPilot's Map page.

A GPS receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least three satellites to calculate a 2D position (latitude and longitude) and track movement. With four or more satellites in view, the receiver can determine your 3D position (latitude, longitude and altitude). Once your position has been determined, the GPS unit can calculate other information, such as speed, bearing, track, trip distance, distance to destination, sunrise and sunset, time, and more.

The GPS Information Page

The GPS Information page provides a visual reference of GPS receiver functions, including current satellite coverage, receiver status, and position accuracy. To access this page, press the StreetPilot MENU key; a Menu page will appear. From the Menu page, select the Info icon, and an Info page will appear. Touch the GPS Info icon and the GPS Information page will appear.

GPS satellites are positioned throughout the sky. As soon as you turn on your StreetPilot, it attempts to acquire satellite reception. From the sky view area on the GPS Information page, you can see which satellites are currently in your area; each satellite has its own number (from 1-31).

A signal strength bar appears for each satellite in view; the satellite's number appears beneath each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages:

• No signal strength bar: The GPS receiver in your StreetPilot is looking for the satellite(s) indicated. The corresponding number(s) on the sky view is not highlighted.
• Hollow signal strength bar: The GPS receiver has found the satellite and is collecting data. The corresponding number(s) on the sky view is highlighted in pink.
• Solid green signal strength bar: The GPS receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite(s) is ready for use. The corresponding number(s) on the sky view is highlighted in green.

Each satellite has a 30-second data transmission that must be collected (hollow signal strength bar, as described above) before that satellite can be used for navigation (solid green signal strength bar). Once a fix has been calculated, the StreetPilot then updates your position, ground track, and ground speed by selecting and using the best satellites in view.

Sky View and Signal Strength Bars

The sky view and signal strength bars give you an indication of which satellites are currently visible, which satellites are being used to calculate a position fix, and the signal quality. The sky view provides a "bird's eye" view of each satellite position relative to your unit's last known position. The outer circle represents the horizon in all directions (with cardinal heading references). The inner circle represents an elevation of 45^ above the horizon. Any satellite depicted near the center is directly overhead. You can use the sky view to help determine whether any satellites are being blocked and whether you have a current position fix (indicated by 2D Navigation or 3D Navigation in the Satellite Status field). You can also set the

Satellite Status

As soon as the GPS receiver in your StreetPilot has collected the necessary data to calculate a fix, the status field indicates a 2D or 3D status (for 2D, you may need to enter your elevation). Satellite Status is indicated at the top left corner of the page. The status is shown as one of the following conditions:

Searching Sky – The GPS receiver is looking for any available satellites in view.

AutoLocate – The GPS receiver is initializing and collecting new almanac data. This process can take up to five minutes, depending on the satellites currently in view.

Acquiring Sats - The GPS receiver is collecting data from available satellites but has not collected enough data to calculate a position fix.

2D Navigation – At least three satellites with good geometry have been locked onto; a two-dimensional position fix (latitude and longitude) is being calculated. (Reads 2D Diff Nav if WAAS-enabled)

3D Navigation – At least four satellites with good geometry have been locked onto; your position is now being calculated in latitude, longitude, and elevation. (Reads 3D Diff Nav if WAAS-enabled)

Lost Reception – The GPS receiver has temporarily lost satellite reception.

Poor GPS Coverage – The GPS receiver isn't tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fix due to bad satellite geometry or due to a shaded antenna (such as driving between buildings)

Not Usable – The StreetPilot is unusable, possibly due to incorrect initialization or abnormal satellite conditions. Turn the unit off and back on to reset and re-initialize the receiver if necessary.

GPS is Off – The StreetPilot is being used indoors and cannot be used for navigation.

Dead Reckoning (2660 only) – The StreetPilot 2660 isn't tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fix due to bad satellite geometry or a shaded antenna (such as driving between buildings), and is using Dead Reckoning.

'Poor Satellite Reception' Menu

If no satellites are received for several minutes (or if too few satellites are received to determine a position fix), a Poor Satellite Reception message appears. You can: turn off the GPS for using the unit indoors for practice; update your approximate location (quicker); or have the unit automatically search for the satellites (takes longer). Updating your approximate location ensures that the StreetPilot is searching for the correct satellites and is useful if you have traveled over 500 miles with the unit turned off. If the unit has been stored for a few months and the displayed date is incorrect, the StreetPilot does not know the current positions of the GPS satellites. Additionally, the Poor Satellite Reception message may appear when you first use your StreetPilot. The prompt may also appear during normal use if the antenna is shaded or when the unit is used indoors.

Accuracy

The GPS Information page indicates the accuracy of the position fix. See Appendix F for the StreetPilot's performance specifications which include accuracy.

GPS Information Page Options

To display the GPS Information page options, press MENU (with the GPS Information page displayed). The following options are available: Track Up/North Up, New Elevation, New Location, and Enable WAAS.

Track Up/North Up – Changes the sky view display from a North Up orientation to Track Up, which aligns the Map page to the current direction of travel (ground track). You can also touch the sky view on the GPS Information page to toggle between Track Up and North Up.

New Location – Forces the StreetPilot to search for any available satellite to determine its position. This option can be used only if you don't have a GPS fix. It is useful if you've relocated a long distance (greater than 500 miles) from where the StreetPilot was last used. In such instances, without initialization, the StreetPilot may be looking for the wrong group of satellites.

GPS satellites can be differentially corrected via WAAS satellites even before your StreetPilot communicates with the GPS satellites, as is the case with Satellite 5, above.

To select a new location:

1. Select 'New Location.' A window appears with two options ('Automatic' and 'Use Map').
2. Select either 'Automatic' or 'Use Map.' Selecting 'Automatic' puts the unit in Autolocate mode and begins searching the sky for satellites. For 'Use Map,' a 'New Location' map page appears.
3. If 'Use Map' is selected, pan and zoom the map pointer on the map to find your approximate location. Then touch the checkmark in the upper right-hand side of the page.

New Elevation – Allows you to designate your approximate elevation when the StreetPilot is acquiring satellites or navigating within a two-dimensional position. By default, 2D navigation attempts to use the last known elevation. If the elevation shown is off by several hundred feet (or more), manually entering your approximate elevation enables the receiver to more accurately determine a position fix. Once the unit has a 3D position, you cannot enter an elevation.

Enable WAAS – Allows you to improve position accuracy by using Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) capability. WAAS is a system of satellites and ground stations that provide GPS signal corrections, giving you even better position accuracy. WAAS corrects for GPS signal errors caused by ionospheric disturbances, timing, and satellite orbit errors, and it provides vital integrity information regarding the health of each GPS satellite.

View the GPS Information page to see which GPS satellites are receiving position corrections from the WAAS satellites. A "D" will appear on the signal strength bar for GPS satellites that have been "Differentially corrected" via the WAAS satellites.

Note: Because WAAS information is broadcast from fixed satellites over the equator, it is possible for obstructions commonly found in vehicles to block the view of these satellites. When this occurs, WAAS reception may be unavailable even though normal GPS reception remains unaffected and fully operational. To improve WAAS reception under all conditions, consider using an external GPS antenna such as a Garmin GA 27C. Mount it in an unobstructed location.

Vehicle Installation

The StreetPilot 2620/2660 is portable, allowing you to easily carry the unit from vehicle to vehicle or take it with you once you reach your destination. A permanent dash mount (consisting of a mounting base and adhesive pads) is included with the StreetPilot. Also included is a non-skid friction mount which is designed for convenient temporary mounting for your StreetPilot. When mounting your StreetPilot, keep in mind the following safety warnings:

Do not mount where the driver's field of vision is blocked

Do not mount over airbag panels

Do not place unsecured on the vehicle dash Do not mount in front of an airbag field of deployment

Select a suitable location for installation that allows routing of an external power cord and/or antenna cable (if needed) to the StreetPilot. If you are NOT using a remote antenna, be certain to select a location where the StreetPilot's antenna has a relatively unobstructed view of the sky.

Appendix

Appendix A: Vehicle Installation

WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator to place and secure the StreetPilot so that is does not interfere with the vehicle operating controls and safety devices, obstruct the driver's view of driving conditions, or cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident. Do not place the mounting bracket over airbag panels or in the field of airbag deployment. Airbags expand with a rapid fire force that can propel objects in their paths toward the driver or passengers, causing possible injury. Refer to airbag safety precautions contained in the vehicle's owner's manual. Do not place the mounting bracket where the driver or passengers are likely to impact it in an accident or collision. The mounting hardware provided by Garmin is not warranted against collision damage or the consequences thereof.

Note: An optional external remote antenna (Garmin GA 27C) may be needed when operating the unit in a vehicle with a coated windshield or an in-screen heating system which can block the GPS signals.

Appendix

Vehicle Installation

Note: Allow the permanent adhesive to set 24 hours before using the dash mount. If permanent adhesive is later removed, use rubbing alcohol to clean any adhesive residue. Repositionable adhesive should only be used on clean, dust-free surfaces.

Installing the Dash Mount to your Vehicle

To secure the mounting base to the dash of the vehicle, choose either the permanent adhesive disk (hole in disk) or the repositionable adhesive disk (no hole in disk).

1. Carefully clean the area where the base is to be placed using an alcohol-dampened cloth. Wipe the area dry with a clean, dry cloth. Remove one side of the protective backing from the adhesive, and place the adhesive on the bottom of the mounting base.
2. Remove the remaining backing from the adhesive and position the base on the cleaned area. Be certain the locking lever on the base faces forward for easy access.

DR Cable Wiring - For Dealer Installation Only (StreetPilot 2660 only)

The StreetPilot 2660 includes Dead Reckoning (DR) cable connections that must be installed by a Garmin-authorized licensed installer. The DR connection consists of a 2-wire harness that connects to the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) and Reverse Light Switch on the bare wire end, and connects to the StreetPilot's vehicle adapter on the 2-prong molded connector end.

The Orange DR 1 cable wire attaches to the VSS. The unit software option Odometer Wave Type must be set to either Square Wave or Sine Wave. This can be determined either by contacting the vehicle manufacturer or by using an oscilloscope. Square Wave is the most common type. Do not connect the DR Cable into the vehicle speed sensor signal from the ABS control.

The Green DR 2 cable wire attaches to the Reverse Light Switch. The unit software option Reverse Light Polarity must be set to either High or Low. Contact the vehicle manufacturer for polarity or check with a voltmeter. Set to High (most common) if a positive, high voltage is detected when the reverse lights are illuminated. Set to Low if no or a low voltage is detected when the reverse lights are illuminated.

As you continue to enter each character, previously entered characters may change to appear with or without diacritical marks. Once the desired name is displayed, select OK, and then select the desired name. An information page will appear.

Using Diacritical Marks

The European version of the StreetPilot 2620/2660 supports diacritical marks commonly used in many European languages. Diacritical marks are added to letters to indicate a special phonetic value that distinguishes it from an otherwise identical letter. The following letter/diacritic combinations, and special characters, are supported in your StreetPilot:

Ligatures are not displayed, but are instead converted to separate characters. For example, “Æ” or “æ” appears on the StreetPilot as “AE.” Similarly, “Œ” or “œ” appears on the StreetPilot as “OE.” The “ß” character is displayed as “SS” on the StreetPilot.

Letters with diacritical marks are sorted together with those without diacritics. For example, the “C” is sorted in the StreetPilot’s alphabet as a “C,” and the “D” is sorted as a “D.” This means that sorted lists may contain a mix of diacritic marks for a given letter. Also note that the “P” character appears at the end of the alphabet on the StreetPilot.

When searching for a city or point of interest (POI) that includes these special characters in its name, your search proceeds as if the base letter and the same letter with diacritical marks are identical. In other words, when searching for a city/POI that includes E, , , or in the name, simply enter “E” or whichever diacritic version appears and proceed to the next character in the name. As you continue to enter additional characters, the appropriate character appears when the correct city/POI name is selected. You can observe this by using the FIND key to select the following cities:

To FIND Västerås, Sweden:

1. Press the unit or remote FIND key then select 'Cities.'
2. Touch the 'Filter' tab to display the mini keyboard. On the keyboard, select 'V' as the first character. The next field is automatically highlighted
3. Select the 'A' as the second character.
4. Select the 'S' as the third character. As you enter letters, notice how the 'A' character in the preceding step changes from 'A' to an 'A' with diacritical marks.
5. Continue entering the next three characters 'T,' 'E,' and 'R' in the same manner.
6. Select 'Å' as the seventh character. Notice that the diacritic letter appears first, not 'A,' because 'VÄSTERÅS' is the only matching entry remaining in the city database.
7. Try this same exercise with København, Denmark; Logroño, Spain; or Genève, Switzerland.

For other special characters, try searching for the following cities: Bragança, Portugal (appears as shown here); or Meißen, Germany (appears as “MEISSEN” in your StreetPilot).

If you wish to save a city/POI as a waypoint, the StreetPilot assigns a waypoint name to this location. Keep in mind that, although diacritical marks appear when using the FIND key, they are not supported in most other StreetPilot functions. Therefore, Våsterås, Sweden appears as "VASTERAS" when saved as a waypoint.

Adding Mapping Software to your StreetPilot

You can purchase additional MapSource mapping software from Garmin such as City Navigator Europe or MetroGuide Canada. Information from these maps will appear on the StreetPilot's Map page just like the current detail maps that are pre-installed in your unit. Follow the instructions that came with your new mapping software to ensure proper installation of the maps to your computer and StreetPilot. In order to transfer maps to the pre-programmed hard drive in your unit, use the Garmin USB cable that came with your StreetPilot. Open the USB kit and use the enclosed CD-ROM to install the USB drivers onto your computer. These drivers must be installed before you connect the USB cable to your computer.

Controlling Map Views on the Map Page

You can view a list of your maps, which includes the pre-installed map as well as ones you have added, on the Detail Maps Info page. To access this page, press the StreetPilot MENU key two times; an Info page will appear. Touch the Map Info icon and the Detail Maps Info page will appear:

Detail Maps Info Enabled Map Family Name ✓ North American City Navigator v5 ✓ City Navigator Europe v5

In the example above, North American City Navigator v5 is the mapping software that came pre-installed in the StreetPilot while City Navigator Europe v5 is the newly-added mapping software. A box appears to the immediate left of each map name (directly under Enabled). When the Enabled box is checked, your StreetPilot will draw the map data from these maps to your StreetPilot. To disable a map, uncheck the box by touching the map name. If the maps loaded in your StreetPilot do not overlap, you should not need to disable maps. If you load two maps that cover the same area, however, you may want to disable one of the maps so that you can view detail from the other one.

The pre-installed and purchased maps are actually made up of numerous smaller maps. You can see what smaller maps make up the larger map family by pressing your unit's MENU page while you are on the Detail Maps Info page. From the new Menu page that will appear, select the Show Map Families icon. A list of all maps within all map families will appear. In the example below, a partial list of maps that make up the North American City Navigator map family are shown.

Detail Maps Info Enabled Map Name ✓Lawrence, Kansas, North American City N ✓Fulton, Missouri, North American City Navi ✓Hope Mills, North Carolina, North America ✓Overland Park, Kansas, North American Ci North American City Navigator v5: Lawrence, Kansas, N

You can disable these maps and the map detail for that area will no longer appear on the Map page.

Changing Map Families when Finding Places

If you have loaded additional map families into your StreetPilot (such as City Select Europe or MetroGuide Canada), you can specify which map family the StreetPilot uses while searching for cities and/or places. Recall that you search for cities and places by pressing the unit's FIND key and then selecting the appropriate Find icon (Lodging, Services, Cities, etc.). The StreetPilot returns a list of results from one map family. For example, if you are searching for a restaurant in Paris, the StreetPilot will search from the City Select Europe map family and not the North American City Navigator map family. In this case, you do not need to change the map family because the map families do not share overlapping information. Thus, the StreetPilot knows which map family to use for this particular search.

If your StreetPilot contains map families that might have overlapping information, you may need to specify a different map family. If you are searching for a restaurant in Ontario, for example, your StreetPilot might search from the North American City Navigator map family when you really want it to search from the MetroGuide Canada map family. Change the map family by pressing the unit'sMENU key. From the

Purchasing Additional MapSource Maps

You can purchase additional MapSource mapping software from Garmin and download the maps to your pre-programmed hard drive. Your pre-installed detail maps are protected from overwriting so you don't have to worry about accidentally deleting them.

Your pre-programmed hard drive contains approximately 512 MB of available space for your additional maps. This amount may be reduced as data updates occur.

In order to enable additional maps, you will need your Unit ID # (see page 55) and serial # (see page i).

Product Safety and Regulatory Information

FCC Compliance

The StreetPilot 2620/2660 complies with Part 15 of the FCC interference limits for Class B digital devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. These limits are designed to provide more reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation, and are more stringent than “outdoor” requirements.

Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult your Garmin dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The StreetPilot 2620/2660 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center.

Thoroughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the StreetPilot 2620/2660 to all available navigation sources, including the information from other street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.

CAUTION: IT IS THE USER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT PRUDENTLY. THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY AS A NAVIGATIONAL AID AND MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE REQUIRING PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF DIRECTION, DISTANCE, LOCATION OR TOPOGRAPHY.

MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources which we identify as required in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree. This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and accurate digital data is either not available or prohibitively expensive. Because the map data may not be perfect, consider verifying the unit's map with your actual surroundings to confirm that you are arriving at the exact destination.

WARNING: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin StreetPilot 2620/2660 is a precision navigation system any navigation system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

Do not mount the StreetPilot 2620/2660 over air bag panels or in the field of air bag deployment. Air bags expand with a rapid force that can propel objects in their path toward the driver or passengers causing possible injury. Refer to air bag safety precautions contained your vehicle's owner's manual. Do not mount the StreetPilot 2620/2660 in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to impact it in an accident or collision. The mounting hardware provided by Garmin is not warranted against collision damage or the consequences thereof.

WARNING: For use in vehicles, it the sole responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the StreetPilot 2620/2660 to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the StreetPilot 2620/2660 while you are driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle equipped with a StreetPilot 2620/2660 to pay full attention to operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or collision with property damage and personal injury.
