Supplying power to the navigation device
The navigation device is supplied with power via the cradle as soon as
the vehicle ignition or radio is switched on. At the same time the
device's battery is charged so that it can also be used outside the
vehicle, e.g. for pedestrian navigation.
Note: It takes approx. 3 hours to charge the device when the battery is
flat. A fully charged battery enables up to 3 hours of use depending on
the device configuration.
Traffic information (TMC)
The navigation device has an integrated TMC receiver. As soon as it is
mounted, the device can receive traffic message updates. If required, it
can change your route dynamically, e.g. in order to avoid a traffic jam.
2.4.3 Memory card
A memory card is not required to operate the navigation system
because all the data needed for navigation are stored in the internal
memory of the device.
Note: If you purchase additional navigation maps, they must be saved
in the internal memory of the navigation device. Navigation data on the
memory card are not used. The slot for memory cards is intended only
for media which you can play back with the media player or the picture
viewer.
When you connect the navigation system to your computer using a USB
cable, the internal memory is detected as the 'NAVIGON' drive. The slot
for the memory card is detected as the 'NAVIGON SD' drive.
Data backups, software updates and navigation map updates can be
carried out quickly and conveniently with the Fresh software, which you
can download free of charge from the website www.garmin.com/pid.
Caution! Do not remove the memory card from the device while the
data saved on it are in the process of being used, e.g. for playing back
music or viewing pictures. Data may be lost as the result.
Note: A change of memory card is detected only when the device has
been switched on. If the memory card is not detected, insert it again
when the device is on and running.
