1 Warnings and safety information
The NVX225 Navigator is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your
selected destination. It will determine your exact location with the help of an attached
GPS device. The position information obtained from the GPS receiver will not be
transmitted anywhere, so others will not be able to track you.
If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate The NVX225
Navigator before beginning your journey. The driver’s attention should be on the
road. Plan your route before departure and pull over if you need to change route
parameters. The NVX225 Navigator has a built-in (optional) Safety Mode that will
prevent you from using the screen functions if your car is in motion. Unless a
passenger will be the only one to operate The NVX225 Navigator, we strongly
encourage you to turn on the Safety Mode.
It is also important that you look at the display only if it is absolutely safe to do so.
You should always observe traffic signs and road geometry before you obey any
instruction from The NVX225 Navigator. If you need to deviate from the
recommended direction, The NVX225 Navigator will suggest a modified route
according to the new situation.
Never place the NVX225 where it can obstruct the view of the driver, is within the
deployment zone of airbags, or where it can cause injuries in case of an accident.

2 General information
To Enter a Destination address Skip to Page 76 of this Owners
manual for detailed instruction
The NVX225 Navigator is a navigation system optimized for in-car use. It provides
door-to-door navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route
parameters. The NVX225 Navigator is capable of planning routes throughout the
whole map region installed on the memory card. Unlike some other products, The
NVX225 Navigator does not require that you change maps or switch to a poorly
detailed general map to navigate between map segments or countries. You always
have complete freedom to go wherever you wish. Just insert the memory card and
go.
A stylus to use The NVX225 Navigator is located on the Lower Right Rear of the unit.
All screen buttons and controls are designed so that you can operate them with your
fingertips, or Stylus.
When using The NVX225 Navigator, you do not need to ‘double tap’ or ‘tap & hold’
the touch screen as these functions cannot be used reliably in a moving vehicle. A
single tap triggers most of the screen controls. The only exceptions are ‘drag & drop’
for moving the map, or scaling it in Map mode (4.5.6).
Most of the screens have a Return ( ) button in the top left corner. This
arrow returns to the previous screen or directly to one of the map screens.
Settings screens also have a Help ( ) button in the top right corner. This will
show a detailed description of the current settings screen.

3 Operating The NVX225 Navigator (Controls)

fingertips, or Stylus. Wherever possible, pushbuttons and lists are provided to make
accessing functions or changing settings as easy as possible.

3.2 Screen buttons and controls
The primary input channel of The NVX225 Navigator is the touch screen. If you read
on, you will realize that most parts of the screen are not only used to display
information but also to initiate functions by tapping. Below you will find a list of the
most frequently used controls in the program.
3.2.1 Direct selectors
Some of the settings can be chosen from a short list of possible values. If the values
can be described graphically, all values are available on the screen, with the
currently selected one in a different color.
Tap one of the icons to change the value.
3.2.2 List selectors
When the values in the list need to be named, only the current value is shown
(sometimes together with a short description) in a horizontal stripe with arrows at
both ends.
The arrows are buttons. Tap to move left in the list or tap to move right. You
need not confirm your selection. As soon as you leave the screen, the selected value
becomes effective.
3.2.3 Sliders
When a feature has several different unnamed (numeric) values, The NVX225
Navigator will show sliders that look like analogue potentiometers to set the desired
value.

16
If the value limits are not displayed at the ends of the slider, the leftmost position
means the minimum value, while the rightmost position represents the maximum
value.
This control can be operated in two ways. Either drag the handle to move the slider
to its new position, or tap the slider where you want the handle to appear (the thumb
jumps there immediately). As with the list selectors, there is no need to confirm your
selection. As soon as you leave the screen, the selected value becomes effective.
3.2.4 Switches
When a function can only have two values (mainly Enabled and Disabled), a switch is
used. Unlike with list selectors, the horizontal line contains the name of the function
and not the actual status. There is a lamp on the left to show whether the function is
active or not.
When the lamp is dark ( ), the function is not selected. When it is lit ( ), the
function is enabled. The whole strip works as a button. Tap anywhere to toggle
between the enabled and disabled status.
3.2.5 Special switches
Some switches behave differently. Instead of being dark when not selected, the light
turns red and the lamp becomes crossed out ( ) to emphasize the prohibition of
use. Furthermore the switches used for the road types (to be included or avoided
when planning a route) in the Route Parameters screen (5.4.4) cannot be changed
for some vehicle types. When such a vehicle is selected, not only the lamp but also
the whole line becomes inactive and dark.

17
Use these buttons the same way as you would other switches. Tap them anywhere
to toggle between the enabled and disabled states.
3.2.6 Switches in the Quick menu
The switches of the Quick menu (4.7.2) behave as normal switches but they look
different in order to fit in with the other menu buttons.
Tap the button to toggle between the enabled and disabled states.
3.2.7 Virtual keyboards
The NVX225 Navigator is designed in a way that you only need to enter letters or
numbers when it is inevitable. In these cases a full screen keyboard pops up that can
easily be operated with your fingertips. You can choose between a separate ABC
and numeric keypad, or a set of QWERTY-type keyboards that contain both letters
and numbers. The NVX225 Navigator will remember your last choice and offer it the
next time you need to enter data.
The alphabetic keyboards in The NVX225 Navigator do not contain special
characters, because you do not need to enter accents when searching for a
destination. Type only the base letters (the letter most similar to the accented one)
and The NVX225 Navigator will search for all their combinations in the database (e.g.
for the street ‘Néfrue’ you only need to type ‘Nefrue’, and the rest is done by the
program).
When you type in POI or track log names, The NVX225 Navigator will automatically
turn all initials into capitals to create names that look pleasant.
3.2.7.1 ABC-type keyboards
These keyboards contain only letters (Latin, Hebraic, Greek or Cyrillic). If you wish to
enter numbers, you need to tap the Keys ( ) button to switch to the numeric
keyboard.
Use Backspace ( ) to delete the last letter you have entered if you have made a
mistake, tap Space ( ) to enter more words, and hit Done ( ) to finish entering
the text.

18
This type of keyboard has large, finger-friendly buttons.
If you are used to computer keyboards, you may consider trying one of the
QWERTY-type keypads.
3.2.7.2 QWERTY-type keyboards
QWERTY-type keyboards have both letters and numbers on them. Their layout is the
same as of the standard QWERTY and AZERTY (French) keyboards. To switch to
your desired QWERTY-type keyboard, press the Keys button repeatedly until the
appropriate keyboard appears.
Due to the high number of buttons to be displayed in one line, in portrait and square
modes these keyboards have narrow buttons. Still, with some practice they can be
easily fingertip operated.
The special keys described in the previous section are also available here.
3.2.7.3 The numeric keyboard
The numeric keyboard only contains numbers, on huge buttons. The special keys
you find on the other keyboards (except Space) are available here as well.

19
Although QWERTY-type keyboards also contain number keys, when entering a
house number, the program offers the more convenient numeric keypad.

20
4 Discovering the program through the screens
The best way to discover The NVX225 Navigator is to explore each screen in detail,
and to find out how to move from one to another. Read this chapter for a guided tour.
The NVX225 Navigator starts by displaying the Main menu. This is the root of the
screen hierarchy, but you only need to return here in a few cases. Many of the
screens are also accessible from each other to reduce the number of actions needed
to initiate a function or change a setting.
4.1 Main menu
The Main menu is the first screen of The NVX225 Navigator. Most parts of the
program are directly accessible from here by using the buttons described below.
