Please do not proceed until you have completed the initial setup as described in
the Quick Start guide.
Ensure that your Nav-Cam 2007 is located where you can clearly hear the
navigation instructions, using an appropriate cradle or fixing method.
In-Vehicle Installation
NOTE: Do not place your Nav-Cam 2007 where it may strike the driver or
passengers if the vehicle turns sharply or stops abruptly. Your Nav-Cam
2007 should be installed securely so it will not move and cause a
distraction. Cables and hardware should not interfere with driving and use
of normal vehicle controls. Try to locate the Nav-Cam 2007 as close to
your normal line of sight as possible without obscuring your normal view
of the road.
Fitting the Device mount
• Your Nav-Cam 2007 pack includes a windshield mount. The mount has a
suction cup that will stick to the windshield.
Caution The mount has been extensively tested for effective installation and
use. However, please use caution when installing or removing the mount. The
company will not be responsible for damage to your car under any
circumstances.
Note: the GPS system was developed for the US military and is operated
by the US Government, which has made the signals available for civilian
use. The company will not be held responsible for the quality of service of
the GPS system.

Troubleshooting
Q) When I start my route Nav-Cam tells me it is unable to locate me on the road
network.
A) This means that your current GPS location is not on the road network. When
you start to drive, your route will automatically be calculated when you join the
road network.
Q) I get the message ‘Cannot calculate route – Start or End point not on
navigable road’.
A) You have chosen a Start/End that is not negotiable by motor vehicle (such
as a pedestrian area). Enter another street name, or use the browse map option
to select a nearby road that is navigable.
Q) The Nav-Cam 2007 software freezes.
A) Follow the instructions in the Quick Start User Guide on how to soft reset
your device.
Q) Map shows no GPS
A). Check GPS status and ensure that the Nav-Cam 2007 has a clear view of
the sky. (Note: It may take a few minutes for your GPS to locate itself on first
use.)
