If you are making a trip, in particular a long trip, you will find the Trip Computer very useful.
It indicates your current speed and many helpful statistics about your trip. The following are useful
suggestions to aid in maximizing the use of the Trip Computer:
! Be certain to reset the Trip Computer before beginning the trip. Instruction on resetting
will follow.
.! If you make frequent stops, leave the StreetPilot powered on and receiving satellites. This
will allow the unit to accurately measure elapsed time during the trip. However, some
vehicles disconnect power to the cigarette lighter when the ignition is turned off. In order
to continure receiving satellites, use batteries and the cigarette lighter adapter for your
trip. The unit will then ask, with a screen prompt, if it can use the batteries when vehicle
power is not available.
