Global Positioning System
The
G
lobal
P
osition
S
ystem (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides location and timing
information around the globe.
GPS is operated and controlled under the sole responsibility of the Government of the United States
of America, who are responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and
accuracy or in environmental conditions, may affect the operation of your Navig8r. We cannot
accept any liability for the availability or accuracy of GPS.
Precautions
For your safety and the safety of other road users, do not operate the controls of this Navig8r while
driving. Use care when operating the Navig8r. This product is intended to be used only as an aid to
navigate. It is not intended for the precise measurement of direction, distance, or location
topography.
The Calculated routes are for reference only. It is the user’s responsibility to follow all local traffic
regulations and traffic signs when driving. Local conditions and regulations may change at short
notice and may not be included in the software/mapping data of this product.
When leaving your vehicle, do not leave the Navig8r on the dashboard of the car. It should be
removed and placed in a secure place along with the windscreen mount and power cable. Do not
leave the Navig8r in direct sunlight or in an enclosed vehicle when not in use. Overheating of the
battery may cause damage or cause the Navig8r to malfunction. Extreme overheating may cause
the battery to leak.
GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials with the exception of glass. When travelling
through tunnels or inside buildings, such as parking stations, GPS positioning is not available. The
time taken for the Navig8r to re-acquire satellite signals when emerging from tunnels or buildings
may vary and will depend on atmospheric conditions and the environment.
A minimum of four GPS satellite signals is required to determine the Navig8rs current location. Signal
reception can be affected by atmospheric conditions such as; bad weather, thick clouds, solar
activity and dense overhead objects such as trees, tall buildings and large road signs. Wireless
devices can also interfere with satellite reception.
The use of devices with a GPS antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, hospitals and other locations
that contain sensitive equipment. The Navig8r should not be used in these environments.
