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 signifi cant operator attention
and may become a distraction to use while driving.
OPERATE YOUR STREETPILOT IN “ SAFE MODE” WHILE DRIVING
USING THE STREETPILOT 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. When the Menu page appears,
select the ‘Use Indoors’ icon. GPS will be turned
off. Now, when you create a route, the unit asks if
you want to simulate driving the route. Select Yes,
and the StreetPilot gives 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 2620 and 2660 models unless specifi cally 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 instruc-
tions 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 fi nger. 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.
