tem is subject to changes that could affect the accuracy
and performance of all GPS equipment.
Warning
When using the StreetPilot in a vehicle, it is
your responsibility to place and secure the unit so that it
will not cause personal injury or property damage in the
event of an accident, collision, or sudden turn or stop. Do
not use this product in a way that violates the law. Do not

Warning
Safe driving requires keeping your
eyes on the road. IT IS UNSAFE FOR THE
DRIVER OF A VEHICLE TO OPERATE THE
STREETPILOT CONTROLS WHILE DRI-
VING. If it is necessary to do so, pull over and
stop at the side of the road to operate the
StreetPilot. Failure to pay full attention to
operating your vehicle and to road conditions
could result in death or serious injury to you
and others.
Warning
GARMIN strives to provide the most economical, accurate, and up-to-date electronic maps available. However, roadways are contin-
ually being modified, so the data may not reflect the latest changes in your area. Generally, roadway data should be positionally accurate to
approximately 50 feet in major metropolitan areas, and approximately 175 feet in other areas, though some local variability can be expected.
Point of interest information (businesses, attractions, etc.) is extensive but not complete, and good position accuracy is not always available
from our data providers. GARMIN does not make any warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of the data included in
this product. The user is solely responsible for safe driving and the prudent use of this product.

Battery/MetroGuide Cartridge Installation
The StreetPilot operates on six (6) AA batteries which
are installed from the left end of the unit, when viewed
from the front. Alkaline, rechargeable NiCad, or lithium
batteries may be used. For extended operation, use the ciga-
rette lighter adapter to conserve batteries.
iiTo install batteries and a MetroGuide cartridge:
1. Flip up the metal ring at the left end of the unit, and turn the ring ¼ turn counterclockwise.
2. Install the batteries (see picture at right). When replacing the StreetPilot batteries, observe the
polarity markings molded in the rubber base of the unit and in the plastic inside the battery com-
partment door.
3. If you are using an optional MetroGuide cartridge with regional Street, Address, and Point of
Interest data, plug the cartridge into the slot next to the battery compartment, with the label fac-
ing toward the front of the StreetPilot unit (see picture at right).
4. Close the battery compartment door.
5. Lock the door in the closed position by rotating the metal ring ¼ turn clockwise, and return the
metal ring to its original position flush with the end of the unit.
Battery life varies due to a variety of factors, including temperature and backlighting
usage. You may find that lithium batteries provide longer life in colder conditions. An internal
10-year lithium battery will retain your data while you’re changing AA batteries.
Caution
Make sure the connec-
tor end of the MetroGuide is
inserted into the cartridge slot,
NOT the extractor handle end.
Improper installation can result
in internal damage to your
StreetPilot unit.
Note:
The on-screen battery
level indicator may be calibrat-
ed for alkaline or NiCad batter-
ies, but will not be accurate
when using lithium batteries.

Adjusting Screen Brightness and Contrast
The StreetPilot screen lighting may be set to a variety of levels for different lighting
conditions and personal preferences. When driving toward the sun, it may be helpful to
increase the screen brightness for more comfortable viewing. You will want to decrease
the brightness when driving at night or switch to ‘Night Mode’.
iiTo adjust the screen brightness:
1. Press the Lkey for a moment. A window appears on the screen with a Brightness control and
a Contrast control (see picture at left).
2. Press the ^or Vareas of the Kkeypad to adjust the screen brighter or dimmer as desired.
Contrast allows you to adjust the screen for optimum viewing in all lighting condi-
tions. Moving the control to the left causes the screen to appear more faint, while mov-
ing the control to the right causes all areas of the screen (including pixels that are
intended to be off) to appear darker. When operating the StreetPilot at extreme temper-
atures, you may find that minor adjustments are needed to obtain the best screen clarity.
iiTo adjust the screen contrast:
1. Press the Lkey for a moment.
2. Press the <or >areas of the Kkeypad to adjust
the screen contrast lighter or darker as desired.
Adjusting the contrast also causes slight changes to
the screen colors.

Dashboard Mounting and External Power
Your StreetPilot is designed with portability in mind--allowing you to easily trans-
port the unit from one vehicle to another or take it with you once you reach your desti-
nation. A dash mount is included in the StreetPilot package, providing a semi-perma-
nent method of installing the unit at the best viewing location for the driver or passen-
ger(s) . The dash mount bracket may either be permanently or temporarily mounted
using included adhesive materials. An installation instruction sheet is included with
the dash mount, which you should refer to for specific instructions. General instruc-
tions are included here for your convenience.
To install the cigarette lighter adapter, locate the connector on the rear of the
StreetPilot unit (behind the rubber weather cap). The connector is “keyed” with a notch
located between two pins. Mate the plug on the cigarette lighter adapter to this connec-
tor by aligning the notches and pushing the plug into the connector until fully seated
(see picture at right). Take care when routing the adapter cable that it does not interfere
with vehicle operation in any way.
Carefully choose the placement
of the base on the dash and
install using either the tempo-
rary or permanent adhesive.
Slide the StreetPilot and mount-
ing bracket into the base until
you hear it snap into place.
Slide the locking lever to the
right to lock the unit and pre-
vent it from sliding off the base.
To remove the unit from the base,
slide the lever to the left, depress
the release tab, slide the unit to the
right, and lift out of the base.

Finding Your Location the First Time
The first time you use your new StreetPilot to navigate, take it outside or properly
mount it on the dashboard of a vehicle in an open area that has a clear view of the sky.
Either way, make sure the antenna is pointing up. The StreetPilot also has the option of
using a Simulator Mode which does not require reception of GPS satellite signals (see
below).
Your StreetPilot should be able to calculate your position within about five (5) min-
utes of being turned on with a clear view of the sky. If this is not the case, refer to
Appendix B, “GPS Satellite Reception” on page 66.
Simulator Mode
You can start the Simulator Mode if you are indoors where the StreetPilot is unable to
receive GPS satellites. It’s helpful to do this for planning a trip or finding cities or
MetroGuide addresses, intersections, or businesses.
iiTo start the Simulator Mode:
1. Press the Okey twice. The StreetPilot displays the System Setup menu. The General file
tab should be displayed, and the cursor should be on the Simulator field. If not, use the K
keypad to select the Simulator field (see top left picture).
2. Press Eand use the Kkeypad to select On (see bottom left picture).

Map Zooming and Panning
Once the StreetPilot calculates your location, you may find it enjoyable just to view
the Map Page and watch your movement along roads and streets. There will be plenty
of time later to learn about the ‘Find’ and ‘Route’ functions, but let’s keep it simple for
now.
If you’re not already looking at the Map Page, press the Pkey until the map is
shown on the screen. If the StreetPilot is still trying to determine your position, there is
a flashing question mark (?) in the center of the map (see top left picture). Otherwise,
the StreetPilot is ready to follow you as you drive.
Now, take a little bit of time to experiment with the Ziand okeys. Notice that
the further you zoom in, the more map features are shown on the map, to the point that
every street in memory is displayed. On the other hand, if you zoom out to some of the
larger ranges, it’s possible to look at the better part of a continent on the screen at one
time (see bottom left picture). In addition, you can use the rocker keypad to pan from
your current location to other places on the map.
iiTo change the map scale:
Press Zi to see a smaller area with more detail.
Press Zo to see a larger area with less detail.
iiTo pan the map:
1. Press the Kkeypad anywhere and an arrow appears. Use the Kkeypad to move the arrow
around the map, even to areas not currently shown on the map.
2. When you are done panning, press Q. The panning arrow disappears.

Making Keypad Entries
Changing between pages and zooming the map in and out are fun for a while, but
sooner or later you’ll be ready for new challenges, and you will have the occasion to
enter some information using the keypad.
There are street addresses, points of interest, and city names to find; Personal
Waypoints and Routes to give meaningful names to; menu options to select. Most of
these operations can be accomplished using the Rocker Keypad (K) and the Ekey.
The “Current Time” and “Arrival Time” readouts on your StreetPilot unit may need to
be adjusted for your local time zone. Let’s use this for an example of a keypad entry.
iiSelecting from a list to set the time zone:
1. Press Otwice to select the System Setup Page.
2. If the cursor is not on one of the file tabs toward the top of the page, use the ^area of the K
keypad to highlight a file tab.
3. Use the <or >area of the Kkeypad to select the Time file tab.
4. Use the Varea of the Kkeypad to highlight to the Time Zone field (see top left picture).
5. Press Eto begin editing the time zone.
