Introduction
Your StreetPilot is equipped with a ‘Safe Mode’
feature to improve driver safety. By default, this fea-
ture is enabled, but it can be turned off to allow a
passenger to operate the unit. When your vehicle is
moving, Safe Mode disables certain StreetPilot func-
tions which require significant operator attention
and may become a distraction to use while driving.
OPERATE YOUR STREETPILOT IN “SAFE MODE” WHILE DRIVING
PRACTICE USING THE STREETPILOT
WHILE IN SIMULATOR MODE
Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the routing
features of the StreetPilot by practicing creating
routes in simulator mode.
Simulator mode only works when the GPS naviga-
tion is turned off. To do this, press the MENU key
on the StreetPilot. A Menu page will appear. Select
the ‘Use Indoors’ icon. GPS will be turned off. Now,
when you create a route, the unit will ask if you
want to simulate driving the route. Select Yes, and
the StreetPilot will give driving instructions for the
entire route.

Manual Conventions
• This manual refers to the StreetPilot as a “StreetPilot,” “unit,” or “GPS receiver.” It makes no
distinction between these terms. “StreetPilot” refers to both the 2610 and 2650 models unless
specifically stated.
• This manual uses the term “Map page” when referring to pages that have maps. In all other instances,
the terms “page,” “screen,” and “window” are used interchangeably.
• This manual uses the words “button” and “key” interchangeably.
• This manual uses the term “press” when you need to activate the keys on the StreetPilot or on the
remote control.
• Although you can either touch the screen to activate commands or use the remote control, most
instructions in this manual assume that you are using the touchscreen.
• This manual uses “touch” and “select” interchangeably. When asked to touch or select an icon or tab,
simply tap the icon or tab with your finger. Or, press in on the thumb stick that is located on your
remote control. Practice using the remote control unit to improve your accuracy when activating
commands. See page 4 to learn how to use it.
