Step 2: Configure the 

nüvi

To turn on your nüvi, slide the

key to the left. Follow the on-screen 

instructions. 

Step 3: Acquire Satellites

Go outdoors to an open area, out of 

garages, and away from tall buildings. 

Stop your vehicle, and turn on the nüvi. 

Acquiring satellite signals may take a 

few minutes.

strength. When one bar is green, the nüvi 

has acquired satellite signals. Now you 

can select a destination and navigate to 

it. For more information about GPS, see
