Using the Interface

Using the Main Menu Screen

When the device first powers on, it displays the menu screen. To select any item on any screen, simply tap the item with your finger or the removeable stylus.

Change the device setup and user information.

Using the Map Screen

As soon as the device acquires a valid satellite signal, it switches to the Map screen. You will probably use this screen the most, so be sure you are familiar with its layout, icons, and options. The arrow in the center of the screen shows your current position. If the arrow is red, it means the device has a valid GPS lock on your current position; if the arrow is gray, the device does not have a lock on your position. (See Troubleshooting if you have difficulty achieving a lock.)

Changing the Map View

Zooming In and Out

The device has 8 zoom levels. One-half inch on the screen can equal 8 miles, 4 miles, 2 miles, 1 mile, 1/2 mile, 1000 feet, 500 feet, or 250 feet. Tap the plus button to zoom in to the next level and the minus button to zoom out. Each time you zoom, the scale appears in the lower right corner of the map.

Changing Heading and Compass Direction

The map screen normally shows north always at the top of the map and turns the arrow that shows what direction you are traveling:

You can set the view so that the direction you are heading is always at the top of the map, and the map itself turns.

Tap the compass icon in the bottom left corner of the map to change the heading direction. When you set the map to show your heading at the top, the compass icon changes to show you the actual direction of your heading.

Using the Three-Dimensional View

Another map view is the three-dimensional view. In 3D view, your heading is always towards the top of the screen.

Tap the compass icon in the bottom left corner of the map. In 3D view, the compass icon points toward north, wherever that appears on the screen.

Changing the Map Options

To change the default map view and display options, from the Menu screen choose Setting and then Map Options. This opens the Map Options screen:

Setting the Default Map View

Select the Map Orientation you want to use as the default view: north at the top of the map, your heading direction at the top of the map, or the 3D view.

Showing Map Labels for Streets and Roads

Select Yes to turn on the labels for streets or roads on the map. Labels for smaller streets will only show when the map is zoomed in.

Adjusting the Map Colors

The Map Display Color automatically adjusts as the ambient light level changes from day to night. You can set the map to remain one single color; choose the color scene designed for Day, Night, Dawn, or Dusk viewing.

Showing a BREADCRumb Trail

As you drive, the device can leave a trail of markers or "breadcrumbs" so you can retrace your route. This is useful if you are off-road or in an area where roads

have changed since the latest map update.

Showing Points of Interest on the Map

You can show icons for different points of interest on the map, so you can always see when you are close to one.

1. From the Menu screen, choose Settings and then POI Selection. This opens the POI Selection screen:

1. Tap the check box beside a category to show those icons on the map screen. Selected categories are shown in green with a white check mark.

2. Tap the back arrow to return to the previous screen or the map icon to go back to the map screen.

3. When you return to the map screen, any selected points of interest within the boundaries of the map are marked with the appropriate icon.
4. To remove the points of interest icons from the

map, go back to the POI Selection screen. Clear the check box beside the icons you do not want to see.

Moving the Map Center

You can change the center of the map by tapping on the map screen. The map recenters and places a crosshairs icon on the location you tapped. To create a route to the location marked by the crosshairs, tap the route button.

For more information on routing, see the section on Creating A Route on the next page.

Creating a Route

You can plot a detailed route, including turn by turn directions, to any destination you choose. If you miss a turn or go off the route, the device can automatically recalculate the route from your current location. You can create and save 25 custom routes. To create a route, from the Menu screen, select Destination; this opens the Set Destination screen:

Entering an Address as Your Destination

You can plot a route to any address in the US or Canada. Follow the steps below to enter address as your route destination:

1. From the Menu screen, select Destination and then choose Address. This opens the address entry interface. The first time you enter an address, the device goes to the Select a State screen:

1. Select the state your destination is in. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the list or enter the name of the state from the alphabet keypad. (As you enter letters, the display jumps to the states that start with those letters.) Tap anywhere on the line to select a listed state. Tap the red backspace key in the bottom right corner of the screen to delete letters.

Note: Larger states may be divided into regions, e.g. Texas Central, Texas East, etc.

1. Once you select a state or region, the Find Address screen opens with the last state you selected already loaded. (To change the state, select Change to go back to the Select a State screen):

1. Choose Select a City Name, or skip the city step and select a street from all the cities in the region (the street search is faster if you select a city first). Both of these screens use the same interface:

1. After you select a street, the Enter a House Number screen appears. This screen is almost the same as the Select a Street and Select A City screens, but it starts with the number pad instead of the alphabet keypad and has an OK button in the top right hand corner:

1. Enter the exact house number and tap OK, or select the range of addresses that includes the address you want.

If there is more than one possible match for the address (for example, if a street has separate north and south addresses), the Select Matching Address screen appears. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the list, and tap the line that contains the address closest matching your desired destination. If the address is too long for the screen, tap the right arrow beside the address to see the rest of the address.

1. After you enter the house number, the device calculates a route from your current location to this address. It may take a few seconds to load the detailed map data and calculate the route; during this time you'll see the following progress screen:

Reading the Route Screen

Once your route is calculated, the device displays the route screen. The route screen is based on the Map Screen, with the following additional information (all the controls on the Map Screen funtion the same way on the Route screen):

Route Information and Current Route Options

Avoiding Certain Roads

If you prefer not to use specific roads for this particular route, select Avoid Roads. The Avoid Roads screen lists the all the roads and turn-by-turn steps used by the route:

1. Tap anywhere on a line to select a road, then tap the Avoid button to remove the selected road from the calculations for this route only. (No other route will be affected)
2. Any roads you've selected to avoid have the circle-slash symbol on the line. To clear the symbol and include the selected road in the route, tap the Undo button.
3. Select OK to recalculate the route without using the blocked roads.
4. If you want to add the avoided roads back into the route, cancel the route and recreate it.

Note: If you want to avoid certain types of roads (freeways, tollways, etc.) for all future routes, use the Route Options screen (see page 26).

Running a Route Demo

The device can show you an animated "practice run" of the route at a faster speed:

1. From the Route screen, tap the Menu button.

2. On the main menu screen, tap the Demo Route button. The device will run a quick animation of the entire route. When it's finished, the animation will automatically restart.

3. To stop the route demo, tap the Menu button on the Route screen.

Accessories

Using an External Antenna

Like any radio signal, your GPS signal reception may experience interference from tunnels, freeway "canyons", and competing radio signals; some reflective metallic window tinting can also interfere with signal reception. If you have difficulty getting or maintaining a GPS signal lock in your area, consider using an external antenna.

A magnetic mount external antenna is available from Uniden's online store. This antenna has a magnetic base to mount to the outside of your car without damaging your car's finish.

1. Clean a the area of your vehicle where you want to mount the antenna.

Carefully lower the module until the magnet holds it on the car. Note: You should

remove the antenna before going through a car wash.

1. Route the cable from the antenna to the inside of your vehicle. Make sure the cable does not interfere with safe driving.
2. Remove the device from its support cradle.
3. Insert the external antenna cable into the connector on the back of the hinged antenna.
4. Return the device to its support crade.

Using a Headset

Your device supports a standard 3.5 mm audio headset. To use a headset, turn the device volume all the way down. Then, insert the headset connector into the audio jack on the left side of the device. Put your headset on and adjust the volume to the desired level.

Maintenance

Updating Maps and Software

Updated maps are available for additional cost through www.uniden.com. Instructions on how to update the software are available at the website.

Battery Information

This equipment contains a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. With normal use, the battery charge should last an average of 3 hours. For optimum battery life and performance:

• Do not store the device in temperatures below -4^ (-20^) or above +140^ (+60^) .
• Do not expose the battery to temperatures above +140^ (+60^) ; this may cause the battery to rupture or fail.
• Do not leave the device in direct sunlight for long periods of time
• Only use the DC adapter cord supplied with the product to charge the battery. Using another charger or connector may damage the device or create a fire hazard.

The battery is not user-servicable. Do not attempt to remove the battery from the device; this may void your warranty.

In case of exposure to the cell contents, wash the affected area thoroughly, and seek medical attention.

• Lithium Ion batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Lithium Ion batteries may explode if disposed of in a fire.
• If you plan to dispose of the device, please return the entire product to Uniden for proper battery recycling.

Troubleshooting

Below is list of common problems with GPS devices and how to solve them.

Can't Get a GPS Signal Lock

• Check to see if you are in an area with radio interference or signal blockage. If your cell phone or an AM/FM radio have difficulty, your GPS device might have trouble getting a clear signal also. If you regularly travel to "dead spots" or to areas with heavy radio interference, consider trying an external antenna to increase the receiver power.
• Some cars use metallic tinting on the windows which can interfere with radio signals. If your windows are tinted, try stepping outside the car with your GPS device or holding it out the window. Once it achieves a signal lock, the GPS device will usually be able to maintain the lock back inside the vehicle.

Out of Memory

• Delete old routes or recently entered locations that you don't use anymore.

Screen is blurry and hard to read

• Dirt and oils from your fingers can stay on the touchscreen. Periodically clean the touch screen with a lint free cloth dampened with water only. If the screen remains dirty, try a mild soap solution or a cleaning spray designed for electronics. Do not use ammonia on the screen, and never immerse the device in water.

Can't find a location on the map

• Newer addresses may not have existed when the map software was created. Check www.uniden.com for the latest maps.

Using the GPS Status Screen

The GPS status screen shows details about your device's reception of the GPS satellite signals. You should only need to check this screen if you are having trouble getting a signal lock.
