Introduction
Congratulations on buying the Cobra Portable Navigator and Fixed Speed Camera location system. Engineered by Snooper
This PND (Portable Navigation Device) utilises the very latest Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) technology to provide you with
accurate street level navigation via clear and precise voice prompts as well as alerting you to potentially hazardous stretches of road,
accident black spots and fixed speed safety cameras.
The most accurate digital mapping available is provided by whilst the geographical coordinates of all ‘fixed’speed monitoring
systems and many officially designated accident‘hotspots’have been stored on a database provided by AURA™. The AURA™
Database is the most comprehensive available, providing cover, not only in the UK and Ireland, but throughout Europe too. This
database is constantly monitored and updated by the AURA™ data collection team, ensuring that you are alerted to every potentially
hazardous stretch of road and all fixed speed safety cameras.
This PND comes with an SD Card that contains the navigation software. The SD Card is pre-installed in the SD slot on the left
hand side of the unit. When necessary, upgrades to this mapping data will be made available for you. Mapping updates may be
chargeable, please visit www.snooperneo.co.uk for further details.
As the AURA™ camera database changes daily, regular updates to your device are required. Snooper connects quickly and easily
to your PC so that you can download the database in a matter of minutes (internet connection required). Please note: In order for
the software to be installed successfully, there are certain minimum hardware and software requirements needed; see the section
‘System Requirements & Downloading’later in this manual.
Once the database has been downloaded your Snooper compares your position using its built-in GPS antenna, with the position of
every known‘fixed’ speed monitoring system and accident‘hotspot’alerting you both audibly and visually with voice alerts and full
colour graphics on the units LCD screen ensuring your highest concentration at all times.
Please note that AURA™ updates are subject to a subscription charge. Please refer to the subscription and download section
of this manual for further details or visit www.snooperneo.co.uk.
Drive Safely with Snooper!
Snoopers camera location technology has been designed and manufactured to help enhance road safety and is in no way a licence
to speed nor has it been designed as a substitute for concentration. Driving within the speed limit, whilst carefully observing current
road conditions is essential.

1. Starting Up
First make sure your vehicle is parked in as open a space as possible, clear of tall trees and
buildings so that the built in GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky above. Next switch ON the
unit by pressing and holding the standby power switch on the top of the unit for 2 seconds.
The following warning will be displayed.
Please do not operate the controls of Snooper whilst driving. Doing so could
endanger yourself, your passengers and other road users. Snooper has been
designed to provide safe and efficient routing but is not a substitute for driving with
due care and attention. The driver is responsible for paying full attention to road
signs, road conditions and the operation of the vehicle at all times.
Please read the warning‘and select the relevant vehicle type (where applicable).
Press “I Agree” to continue.
Whilst Snooper software is loading, a start-up display will be shown for just a few seconds and
then the screen will show a section of a map. Note: the factory default location is‘Toft Road’.
Snooper needs to acquire a minimum of four satellites in order to work. Once this has been
achieved Snooper will ascertain your position and this will be indicated by a green arrow icon on the on-screen map and the GPS
signal strength will be shown in the bottom right hand corner of the display. Snooper is now ready to navigate.
As the GPS engine and antenna have never been used before, the first ‘Cold’ start can take anywhere from 15 – 30 minutes to
establish a satellite connection. Once initialised, subsequent start ups will take less time and eventually should take only a matter
of minutes.

are banned, or in some cases charged, if they enter the LEZ when their emissions are over a set level.
Vehicle emissions are classified by Euro Standards (1-6) for the vehicles that they affect. In many cases another factor is whether or
not the vehicle has a particulate filter or catalytic converter. Before you travel into a LEZ, you need to find out the emissions standard
of your vehicle.
All LEZs affect heavy duty goods vehicles (usually over 3.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)), and most buses and coaches (usually
defined as over 5 tonnes GVW). Some LEZs also affect vans, cars and motorcycles.
Most LEZs operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with some of the Italian LEZs currently the only exceptions to this rule. To
enter your environmental setting press on the arrow once in the Environmental setting page press the arrow again to return to
the vehicles setting page.
