Hold the Power button until the main interface appears. Perform the first startup in an open outdoor area, then wait for reception of at least 4 satellite signals before programming a route.

What types of memory cards are compatible with the Curtis GPD430?

Why is my GPS not picking up satellites?

Precaution and Notice

The PND is used only as a navigation aid. It is not for precise measurement of direction, distance, location or topography. The user must follow all traffic signs and local regulations along the roads.
GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass). When you are in a tunnel or building, GPS position is not available.
At least 4 GPS satellite signals are needed to determine the current location. Signal reception can be affected by situations, such as bad weather or dense overhead obstacles (e.g. tall buildings).
Other wireless devices in the vehicle might interfere with the reception of satellite signals and cause the unstable signal reception.
