IntroductIon > safety InformatIon Safety Information Ensure that all persons read this manual carefully before using the navigation system. It contains instructions on how to use the system in a safe and effective manner.

WARnInG: Please read and obey the following safetysafety

precautions. Failure to do so may result in an accident involving injury or property damage.

• Consider practicing the unit’s operation by using “simulator mode” prior to actual use. See page 5 for instructions.

• When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the Trail Guide to all available navigation sources, including information from other street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.

• Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions that require prolonged use of the unit’s controls while you are driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner and location before you attempt such operations.

• Do not use the navigation system to route you to emergency services such as police and re stations or hospitals and clinics. Not all emergency service locations are contained in the database. Please use your judgment and ask for directions in such situations.

• When driving, minimize the amount of time you spend viewing the screen. Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, pull over at a safe location.

• Road conditions and regulations take precedence over information contained on the map. Observe actual trafc restrictions and circumstances while driving.

• Situations may occur where the navigation system erroneously displays the vehicle’s location. Use your own driving judgment in this situation, taking into account current driving conditions. Please be aware that in this situation, the navigation system should automatically correct the vehicle’s position within a few minutes.iv Trail Guide

• Stop use immediately if a problem occurs. Failure to do so may cause injury or damage to the product. Return it to your authorized DaimlerChrysler dealer for service.

• Make certain the volume level of the navigation system is set to a level that still allows you to hear outside trafc and emergency vehicles.

• The map database is designed to provide you with route suggestions and does not take into account the relative safety of a suggested route or factors that may affect the time required to reach your destination. The system does not reect road closures or construction, road characteristics (such as type of road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions), trafc congestion, weather conditions, or any other factors that may affect the safety or timing of your driving experience. Use your own personal judgment if the navigation system is unable to provide you with an alternate route.

• The map database supplied with the product contains the most recent map data that was available to us at the time of production. We use Navteq data sources. Some parts of the map may contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree. Because the map data may not be perfect, consider verifying the unit’s map with your actual surroundings to conrm that you are arriving at the exact destination.

• 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. The Trail Guide is a precision navigation system; however, any navigation system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

• 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. If you have any questions about the operation of the navigation system, please contact a local DaimlerChrysler dealer or call 800/800.1020.Trail Guide Owner’s Manual 1

After you select a detour distance, your Trail Guide calculates a new route and provides you with new driving instructions. The detour is saved until you stop the current navigation or until you turn off the unit. To set a detour:

Your Trail Guide 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 can take you back to your original route. Sometimes, the route you are currently taking might be the only reasonable option. If so, you will not be able to take a detour. Adding Via Points Via points are extra stops you make on the way to your nal destination. You can add stops to the route you are currently navigating, to the route you are planning, or to a route that you have previously saved. To add via points to a saved route:

5. Highlight a method to nd the location, and press OK.

6. Highlight the location of the point. Continue until all points

are added to the route.24 Trail Guide

understandInG Gps > the Gps InformatIon paGe undErstandIng 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 in your Trail Guide 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. With distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine your location and display it on the Map page. A GPS receiver must be locked on to at least three satellites to calculate a 2D location (latitude and longitude) and track movement. With four or more satellites in view, the receiver can determine your 3D location (latitude, longitude, and altitude). After your location has been determined, the GPS unit can calculate other information, such as speed, bearing, track, trip distance, distance to destination, sunrise and sunset, and time. 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. 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 MENU, highlight Settings, and press OK. From the Settings page, highlight GPS Info, and press OK. GPS satellites are positioned throughout the sky. As soon as you turn on your Trail Guide, it attempts to acquire satellite signals. The sky view area on the GPS Information page displays which satellites are currently in your area.42 Trail Guide

understandInG Gps > the Gps InformatIon paGe A signal strength bar appears for each satellite in view; the satellite’s number (1–33) appears to the left of each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages:

• No signal strength bar —the GPS receiver is looking for the satellite indicated. The corresponding number 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 on the sky view is not highlighted.

Solid signal strength bar—the GPS receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite is ready for use. The corresponding number on the sky view is highlighted. Satellites Sky view Signal strength bars Satellite status bar After a x has been calculated, the Trail Guide updates your location 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 indicate which satellites are currently visible and which satellites are being used to calculate a position x. The signal strength bars also indicate the quality of each satellite signal. The sky view provides a “bird’s eye” view of each satellite position relative to your unit’s last known location. The outer circle represents the horizon and shows 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 set the sky view to Track Up instead of North Up orientation. Track Up causes the top of the sky view to align to your current direction of travel. To change to Track Up, press MENU while on the GPS Info page. Then select Skyview Track Up. Press MENU again and then select Skyview North Up to change the orientation back to North Up. When the Sky View is shown in North Up, the red circle indicates your direction of travel.Trail Guide

understandInG Gps > the Gps InformatIon paGe Satellite Status Bar As soon as the GPS receiver has collected the necessary data to calculate a x, the status bar indicates a position x. The current GPS status and the accuracy of the position x can be found in the satellite status bar located at the top of the page. The status bar displays one of the following messages: Searching for Satellites—the GPS receiver is looking for any available satellites in view. Locating Satellites—the GPS receiver is locating satellites and determining which ones are visible at your location. Acquiring Satellites—the GPS receiver is collecting data from available satellites but has not collected enough data to calculate a position x. Satellite status bar Ready to Navigate—the Trail Guide is ready to navigate routes. 2D Navigation —at least three satellites with good geometry have been found; a two-dimensional position x (latitude and longitude) is being calculated. You might need to enter your elevation if the receiver only has a 2D x. Displays “2D Differential” if you are tracking one of the WAAS satellites. 3D Navigation —at least four satellites with good geometry have been found; your location is now being calculated in latitude, longitude, and elevation. Displays “3D Differential” if you are tracking one of the WAAS satellites. Lost Satellite Reception—the GPS receiver has temporarily lost satellite reception. Poor GPS Coverage—the GPS receiver is not tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D x due to bad satellite geometry or due to a shaded antenna, which can be caused from very dense overhead tress or tall buildings. Receiver Not Usable —the Trail Guide is unusable, possibly due to incorrect initialization or abnormal satellite conditions. Turn the unit off and back on to reset and reinitialize the receiver if necessary. GPS is Off—the GPS receiver has been turned off and cannot be used for navigation.44 Trail Guide

understandInG Gps > the Gps InformatIon paGe Poor Satellite Reception Menu If the Trail Guide cannot establish a position x after several minutes, the Poor Satellite Reception menu appears. The menu might appear when you rst use your Trail Guide or during normal use if the antenna is shaded or if the unit is used indoors. The Poor Satellite Reception menu gives you several options when an insufcient number of satellites is received to determine a position x. From the Poor Satellite Reception menu, you can turn off GPS when using the unit indoors, update your approximate location, or continue to search for the satellites. Updating your approximate location ensures that the Trail Guide is searching for the correct satellites and is useful if you have traveled over 500 miles with the unit turned off.

appendIx > addInG maps to your traIl GuIde Adding Maps to Your Trail Guide You can purchase additional MapSource

maps from Garmin for your Trail Guide. Purchasing Additional MapSource Maps In order to unlock and use additional MapSource data, you need your unit ID number (see page 40) and serial number (see page 51). After you unlock your map data, you can transfer it to the Trail Guide using MapSource and your computer. Note that the preloaded maps on your Trail Guide are protected and cannot be erased. For example, if you add additional maps to your Trail Guide, you will not overwrite the original maps. If you load additional maps to the Trail Guide, these maps are not protected. The additional maps are overwritten each time you load new maps to the unit. Controlling Map Views on the Map Page You can view a list of your map families on the MapSource Info page.

If the maps loaded in your Trail Guide do not overlap, you should not need to disable map families. If you load maps that cover the same area, however, you may want to disable one of the map families so that you can view detail from the other one. Changing Map Families when Finding Places If your Trail Guide contains map families that have overlapping information, you may need to specify a different map family.

appendIx > carInG for the traIl GuIde Caring for the Trail Guide The Trail Guide is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Cleaning the Case Clean the unit’s outer casing (except for the screen) 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 Screen Clean the screen using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. You may use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner if needed. To use these cleaners, apply the liquid to the cloth and wipe the screen. Storage Do not store the Trail Guide where prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may occur (such as in the trunk of a car), as permanent damage may result. Avoid Theft To avoid theft, take your Trail Guide with you or remove it from view when you leave your vehicle. Using the Trail Guide Responsibly The Trail Guide is equipped with a Safe Mode feature to improve driver safety. When your vehicle is moving, Safe Mode disables all functions that require signicant operator attention and could become a distraction when driving. Read the safety information on pages iii–iv to learn how to install and use your Trail Guide safely and responsibly. Battery Temperature Warning Your Trail Guide contains an internal lithium-ion battery, which can store more energy than standard batteries. All batteries slowly lose the amount of energy they can hold over time. To maximize battery life, limit the unit’s prolonged exposure to excessive heat and direct sunlight. If Your Trail Guide Locks Up… On rare occasions, your Trail Guide may freeze or lock up. In this case, reset it by pressing the Power key and the In key at the same time. The unit turns off. The unit will operate normally when you turn it on again.50 Trail Guide
