then touch the info bar and touch the green arrow button to open the Start navigation page. Press Set

Repeat the operation to insert the destination point (B) and in the Start navigation page, touch the GO

2.2.2 Searching by LAT LON
You can insert the departure, the destination and the waypoints by searching them by LAT LON
coordinates.
2.3. Saving Contacts, Marks and Waypoints
You can save in your Geosat 4x4 up to 1000 contacts, among marks, waypoints and addresses. You
can access the contact list by clicking on the contacts button in the 4x4 Functions menu. The Contacts
database has two default folders: marks and waypoints.
Marks
are locations you want to mark; they can be saved quickly by picking them on the map.
While you are driving you can save a mark on your current position by pressing and holding the second
key of the keyboard (Drive me Home / Mark). The virtual keyboard will open: you can type the Mark
name or you can skip it, a standard name with a progressive number will be assigned to the Mark, and
it will be saved in the Mark folder. You can then modify the saved marks.
Waypoints
can be inserted by touching the Contacts button in the 4x4 Menu, then clicking Add
Contact. Choose how to search the waypoint for example by LAT LON. When you import waypoints
from your PC, they will be saved in this folder.
Addresses
can also be saved as contacts (for on road navigation ); search the address as described in
the par 1.3 then in the start navigation page select “Add to contacts”.
You will have to edit it and to create a folder for this address (e.g. friends, work, off road clubs, speed
cameras etc.)
