Getting Started
Acquiring Satellites
1. Go outdoors to an open area,
away from tall buildings and trees.
2. Turn on your nüvi.
Acquiring satellite signals can take a
few minutes. The bars indicate
satellite strength. When at least one
of the bars is green, your nüvi has
acquired satellite signals.
Selecting a Usage Mode
Automobile
Pedestrian

Your nüvi offers several usage
modes for navigation methods.

with cityXplorer
™
maps loaded, your
nüvi calculates a route that uses a
combination of public transit options,
such as riding a bus or subway, and
walking. cityXplorer maps are not
included with your nüvi. See
www.garmin.com to purchase
cityXplorer maps.

usage mode icon on the upper-
left corner.

OK.

Yes, and follow the
on-screen instructions to
congure your settings.

as you navigate, use Off Road
