Answer 1

hi!

yer dont all ways rely on it and plug it into your computer so you can put personal maps on it and update them  when roads change or new ones appear.

remember to not leave it in your car when your not there as they can be stolen easily and clean of the sucker marks it leaves on the windscrean as ppl then no you have one.

tell it where your home is so you can just hit the home button where ever you are and it will take you home.

you can usually say if you want to use toll roads or not

hope this helps

Answer 2

Easy, just read the instruction manual.   ;-)

Answer 3

I agree with poster 1.  Did you get an instructional manual with it?  Also, a gps device might not give you the best route to reach your destination or it might direct you to a closed road, so your still need to use your own judgement.  If you didn't receive a manual , go to Navman website and download it free.

Answer 4

good tip would be sell it and buy a decent unit like sony, or tom tom or garmin

Answer 5

If you are going to a brand new place, don't rely 100% on it.  Have a map handy with you as well - in the boot, but just in case.

Also, if it tells you to go down a one-way street, or a road that seems to narrow for your vehicle, IGNORE it.  You still need to read the road signs!
