Terminology used Throughout this Manual
• This manual refers to the Quest as a “Quest,” “unit,” or “GPS receiver.” It makes no distinction between
these terms.
• This manual uses the term “Map page” when referring to pages that shows maps.
• This manual uses the term “press” when you need to activate the keys on the Quest. For example, the
phrase “Press OK” means “Press the OK key located on your Quest.”
• This manual uses the term “select” when you need to choose an icon, button, or tab. When asked to
select something, use the rocker pad to move the cursor to the desired position. To activate what you
select, press the OK key located on your Quest. For example, the phrase “Select Navigate to activate the
route” means that you must use the rocker pad so that the cursor on your Quest highlights the Navigate
button. Then, press the OK key to activate the navigation.
Using the Quest Responsibly
Your Quest is equipped with a “Safe Mode” feature to improve
driver safety. By default, this feature is enabled, but it can be turned off
to allow a passenger to operate the unit. When your vehicle is moving,
Safe Mode disables certain Quest functions which require significant
operator attention and may become a distraction to use while driving.
Read the Warnings and Cautions listed in the Safety and Regula-
tory section (Appendix F) to learn how to install and use your Quest
safely and responsibly.
Battery Temperature Warning
Your Quest contains an internal Lithium Ion battery
which allows you to store more energy than standard
batteries. All batteries slowly lose the amount of energy
they can hold over time. To maximize battery life, limit
your Quest’s prolonged exposure to excessive heat and
direct sunlight.
Avoid Theft
To avoid theft, take your Quest with you or remove it
from view when you leave your vehicle.
If Your Quest Locks Up . . .
On rare occasions, your Quest may freeze or lock up. In
this case, reset the Quest by pressing the unit’s Power
key and the IN key at the same time. This will turn off
your Quest. The unit will operate normally when you
turn it on again.

Learning how to use the Map Page
The Map page is one of your Quest’s main operating pages. This is the first page to appear after the
startup pages, and it provides street detail as you navigate to a destination. Many features make up the Map
page. Whether you’re navigating a route or simply driving with your Quest turned on, you can see a map
that displays your current location as well as surrounding street detail. Additionally, depending on your
current driving mode, data fields provide information such as your current speed, your driving direc-
tion, and names of upcoming streets. You can look beyond your current position by “panning,” or moving
around the Map page. You can also zoom into locations to view greater street detail or you can zoom out to
see what’s ahead on your route.
This section shows the many types of Map page views as well as how to use the features on the Map
page. Practice using these features before navigating an actual route so that you can quickly understand
what you are seeing on the Map page and therefore limit time looking away from the road while driving.
Viewing the Map Page for the First Time
When you turn on your Quest for the first time, you see a map image and a navigator text bar at the top
of the page. The text indicates that the Quest is attempting to locate satellites. Once your Quest locates the
satellites, it establishes a “fix” on your location. It is then ready to navigate and you are ready to begin.
Using the Map Page
USING YOUR QUEST INDOORS
Your Quest unit cannot acquire
satellites from inside a building.
Thus, you may want to consider
setting your unit to ‘Use Indoors’
status. To do this, press the MENU
key on your unit. A Menu window
appears that includes a variety of
options. Select the ‘Use Indoors’
option.
)
When you turn on your Quest, it searches for
satellites.
Once the satellites have been acquired, your
Quest is ready to navigate.

Map Page Features
The Map page comes with many useful features and functions that help you as you view cities or
places, and as you navigate routes. Practice using these features while your vehicle is stationary.
Panning (or moving around) the Map Page
Panning allows you to “move” the viewing area on the Map page in order to view areas beyond the
displayed area. The white arrow, or “map pointer,” serves as a target marker as you pan across the Map
page (use the rocker pad to move the map pointer). The map pointer hovers over existing map objects such
as businesses, parks, lakes, schools, or other points of interest. The map pointer can also hover over areas
where no map data exists.
The black triangle, or “position icon,” shows your current physical location on the Map page. It may
be hidden from view at times if you are panning beyond your current location. However, you can see how
far the map pointer is from your current location by viewing the “distance bar.” This black bar appears at
the bottom of the Map page only when you are panning. As shown below, the distance bar gives the coordi-
nates at the map pointer’s location. It also displays your distance and direction from the map pointer.
Note: The position icon shows your current physical location whether you are in a vehicle or are walking.
Map Page Features
While ‘panning,’ the map pointer serves as the
target marker. If it stops on a known location, infor-
mation about the location will appear on the Map
page, as shown above. Press the Quest’s OK key,
and an information page on this location appears,
as shown below.

Saving your Favorite Places in “My Locations”
As stated previously, you can use the map pointer to hover over areas around and beyond your
current location. You might hover over a favorite restaurant or friend’s house, or perhaps a good fish-
ing spot you found at the lake or a special camping place in a National Park. If these are areas you
want to remember, you can save them to a special folder in your Quest called “My Locations.”
For example, assume that you recently discovered a terrific camping
area at Milford Lake and you want to add it to “My Locations.” Make
sure that the map pointer is positioned at this location and then press the
unit’s OK key. An information page about this location appears. Select
Save and press OK. The new page displays location coordinates and
other information. It also allows you the opportunity to change the name
of the location and add comments. You can also categorize this location
in the Category field and you can change the icon that’s associated with
the saved location.
You can find this saved location again by using the FIND key. See Finding “My Locations,”
page 21.
Note: You can also save your current physical location to “My Locations.” See page 23.

Add this spot to “My
Locations” by press-
ing the unit’s OK key.

Assign a special category to
your spot so that you can find
it more easily during a future
search.
The onscreen keyboard such as the one shown
above appears when you wish to change the
name of a location, add comments, or enter
addresses. Use the rocker pad to select a letter
or number and then press OK. To create spaces,
select the blank space between the Y and Z. Use
the ‘Clear’ (‘Back’) box to delete letters/numbers.
The < and > keys are backspace and forward-
space keys. The up arrow changes the capital
letters to lower case and the numbers to symbols.
Use the ‘return’ key to create a new line. When
you have entered all text, select ‘Done.’
The onscreen keyboard is used in a variety of
places throughout the Quest. Its appearance may
alter, depending on your purpose for using it, but
the functionality remains the same.

Zooming in and out on the Map Page
Use the IN and OUT keys on your Quest to view greater detail in a specific area or to gain a broader
view of the surrounding area. A map scale appears on the lower left of the Map page. It displays the current
zoom level showing on the Map page (such as 500 miles, 200 meters, or 200 feet) as well as what map data
your Quest is using to create the current image. Your Quest includes a “base” map and a “MapSource” map.
The base map provides only general information such as city names and highway exits. The MapSource
map (which can be from City Select or another mapping software you transferred to your Quest) includes
specific details such as businesses, parks, and other points of interest. Thus, if you are viewing Denver at a
map scale of 200 miles, your Quest will display information from its base map. The map scale will switch
from the base map to the more detailed MapSource map as you continue to zoom in to Denver. When the
Map page is displaying detailed mapping information, “MapSource” appears under the zoom level (3 miles,
120 meters, etc.). When it is reading from the base map, the area under the zoom level is blank.
If you continue to zoom in to Denver or any city, “overzoom” appears on the map scale. Displaying at
around 500 - 300 feet, “overzoom” indicates that the current scale exceeds the optimum resolution of avail-
able map detail.

Viewing the Map Orientation
The orientation of roads can appear on your Map page in one of two ways. North Up shows your Map
page with North always at the top, as if you were reading a paper map. Thus, as you are driving, the posi-
tion icon on your Map page moves to the left as you go West, right as you go East, and so forth. With Track
Up, your Map page automatically rotates so that your direction of travel always appears at the top of the
Map page. As you head South, then, the Map page shifts so that South appears at the top of the Map page. If
you are using Track up, a white Nindicator displays in the top left corner of the Map page. It always points
to the North.
Your Quest is set to display the Map page in Track Up mode until the zoom level reaches 200 miles. To
change the map orientation settings, see page 33.
Data Fields
The Map page contains customizable informational boxes called data fields that appear along the right-
hand column of the page. Information in these fields differ depending on whether you are merely traveling
with the Quest turned on (driving mode) or you are navigating a route (routing mode). Data fields also
appear on the Trip Information page (page 12) and the Compass page (page 23).
To change the data fields that appear on the Map page, press the MENU key while you are on the Map
page. Select Edit Fields from the Menu window that appears. Use the rocker pad to select the data field you
wish to change. Press OK, and choose from a variety of field options that appear. Press OK again to set the
new field option. When you are finished changing the data fields, press PAGE to exit the Edit Fields mode.
For a complete list and description of data field options, see Appendix B.

Viewing the Map Page While Driving
While driving, one of two types of Map pages appears: a Map page in driving mode, which appears
when you have the Quest turned on but you are not navigating a route; and a Map page in routing mode,
which appears when you have created a route and are currently navigating it.
In driving mode, the Map page shows map details, the map scale, and your current location.
Customizable data fields are pre-set to show your speed, current direction of travel, elevation at your cur-
rent position, and the current time.
In routing mode, the Map page displays map details and your current location, and it marks your route
to a destination with a magenta-colored route line. It tells you what direction to go as well as the direction
in which you are traveling. Customizable data fields are pre-set to display information such as your speed,
distance to the next turn, time remaining before reaching the next turn, and arrival time.

Both types of Map pages display a position icon which indicates your present position and direction of
movement as a triangular icon in the center of the map. Depending upon your map scale setting, you can
see a variety of geographic details such as lakes, rivers, highways, and towns.
If you would like to see more detail at your current driving position, or if you would like to see a
broader view of the area, you can change the map scale to zoom in to or out on your current position as the
Map page continues to follow the position icon. Simply press the IN or OUT key.
You can also “look ahead” on the Map page so that you can view
areas beyond your current position, but without interrupting the
function of the Map page. Simply use the rocker pad to “pan” across
the Map page. As in the example at right, the map pointer and dis-
tance bar appear. The Map page itself stays stationary until you move
(pan) the Map page. The position icon continues to move along your
route. To return to the non-panning page, press the PAGE key.
Next Turn Page
During an active route, the Map page continues to display in routing mode until your Quest alerts you
that you are near a turn. When this happens, a Next Turn page appears. It provides a graphic visual and
gives text instructions, as shown below:
Next Turn Page
The NEXT TURN page announces the same instructions
for an upcoming turn 3 times:
· Immediately after you make a turn, the Next Turn
page announces the next upcoming turn, as well as
the distance to that turn. Thus, if the next turn is not
for 20 miles, you do not need to worry about naviga-
tion instructions for quite a while.
· As you are close to approaching the upcoming turn,
the Next Turn page appears again. This message is
announced in order to alert you to change lanes if
necessary and start looking for signs in anticipation
of the upcoming turn.
· Just before the upcoming turn, the Next Turn page
appears one last time for that particular turn. You
should be in view of the turn.
You can ‘look ahead’ of
your route by panning.
An upcoming turn is placed here. This page disappears after
a few seconds. If you need to see it again, simply press the
SPEAK key and it reappears.
Shows how many miles until you reach the upcoming turn.
Shows the approximate time left until you reach the upcoming
turn.

An added bonus to the Next Turn feature is that the Quest “voice” announces upcoming turns. Thus, if
you cannot safely view the Next Turn page, you can hear the directions if you are using the vehicle adapter
that includes the external speaker.
The Next Turn page disappears after a few seconds and then the page which you were previously view-
ing reappears. If you wish to clear the Next Turn page and return to the previous page, press the PAGE
key. If you wish to see the Next Turn page again, simply press the SPEAK key and it reappears. You also
can hear the announcement.
The Next Turn page is only available in routing mode.
Current Route Page
Still another bonus while navigating a route is the Current Route page, which provides step-by-step
route instructions, all on one page. Simply press PAGE from your Quest and the Current Route page
appears:
The Current Route page displays directions for your entire route. Thus, you can look beyond the next
turn and even get an estimated idea of what time you will reach an upcoming turn provided you don’t
make stops along the way.
You can move through the entire list of turns by using the rocker pad. Select any of the turns on the list
to view the Next Turn page for that turn.
Current Route Page
The Current Route page displays directions for your
entire route. It keeps the directions even when you
have completed the turn.
The Current Route page is only available in routing
mode.
Direction of turn.
The text column explains the upcoming driving instructions.
The numbered column shows how many miles until the next turn.
The last box always shows the final destination.
Use the rocker pad to move through the list of turns.

Trip Information Page
While navigating a route, you can access yet another page, the Trip Information page. If you are making
a long trip, the Trip Information page can be very useful. It indicates your current speed and provides many
helpful statistics about your trip. (Note that you can also access the Trip Information page in driving mode.)
Be certain to reset the trip information (data) before beginning a trip (see next page). If you make
frequent stops, leave the Quest powered on in order to receive satellites. This allows the unit to accurately
measure elapsed time during the trip.
The following pre-set information is displayed on the Trip Information page:
Power (Battery) –Indicates battery power status.
Speed –The current vehicle speed, displayed in miles or kilometers per hour.
Heading –The vehicle’s current direction of travel.
Trip Data Reset –Allows you to reset all trip data (except maximum speed).
Trip Odometer –A running total of distance traveled based on the distance between second-by-second
location readings.
Max Speed Reset –Allows you to reset the maximum speed.
Speed-Overall Average –Your average speed of travel (including time stopped) while the Quest has been
tracking your location.
Speed-Moving Average –Your average speed of travel while the vehicle has been in motion.
Speed-Maximum –The maximum speed recorded.
Trip Time-Total –The total length of time that the Quest has been tracking your location since the Trip
Computer was last reset. This is always equal to Moving Time plus Stopped Time.
Trip Time-Moving –The length of time that the vehicle has been in motion.
Trip Time-Stopped –The length of time that the vehicle has been stopped (or stationary) during the time
the Quest has been tracking your location.
Access the Trip Information page anytime by pressing
the PAGE key.

Both symbols in the batteries above indicate
that the Quest is connected to external power.
The battery displaying a lightning symbol
indicates that the Quest is charging. The battery
displaying a plug indicates that the Quest is
fully charged.
