General Information
With the Audiovox Multimedia System you have purchased a high-performance
instrument which has been designed to assist drivers in daily traffic. With automatic
route planning and directional guidance you can concentrate on what is important
in today's increasingly heavier traffic – especially in large metropolitan areas.
Complicated and time-consuming planning with conventional road and city maps is
no longer required. You simply enter the destination before beginning your journey,
activate “Guidance” and the system does everything else for you.
The navigation system provides you with driving information in the form of acoustic
and visual signals. The system is easy to operate with a few control elements and a
clearly structured menu.
System enhancements make it possible to turn the system into a comprehensive
information and entertainment system.
Comments
After transport of the car by a tow truck, car train or in a car ferry the
navigation system may need a few minutes outdoors for exact repositioning.
After the car battery has been disconnected, the system may need up to 15 minutes
for exact repositioning. The car has to be situated outdoors and the system has to be
switched on to receive the GPS satellites.
The system is fully operational even without valid GPS data, but the accuracy of
positioning may decrease.
As soon as sufficient GPS data is received the color of the satellite icon in the
GPS window changes from red to green.
On highways the distance indications of the Audiovox Navigation System for exits
are different from those on the highway signs. The highway signs refer to the
distance to the beginning of the exit, whereas the Navigation System refers to
the end of the exit. This is the point where you must turn.
