Before You Start
※Precautions and Notices
※For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while
driving.
※Use this product prudently. The product is intended to be used only as
a navigation aid. It is not for precise measurement of direction,
distance, location or topography.
※The calculated route is for reference only. It is the user’s responsibility

and cause the reception of the signal to be unstable. For better signal
reception, it is recommended that you use a car antenna (option).
※A car holder is needed when using the device in a car. It is
recommended that you place the device in an appropriate place, so as
