Introduction
Cautions and Warnings
CAUTION: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United
States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes
that could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the StreetPilot is a
precision NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore,
become unsafe.
WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the StreetPilot
to place and secure the GPS unit so that it will not interfere with the vehicle operating controls and
safety devices, obstruct the driver’s view of driving conditions, or cause damage or personal injury in
the event of an accident. Do not mount the StreetPilot over airbag panels or in the field of airbag
deployment. Airbags expand with a rapid force that can propel objects in their path towards the vehicle
driver or passengers causing possible injury. Refer to airbag safety precautions contained in the vehicle
owner’s manual. Do not mount the StreetPilot in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to
impact it in an accident or collision. The mounting hardware provided by GARMIN is not warranted
against collision damage or the consequences thereof.
WARNING: When used in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to
operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and
not become distracted by the StreetPilot to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate
the controls of the StreetPilot while you are driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle equipped with a
StreetPilot to pay full attention to operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the vehicle is in
motion could result in an accident or collision with property damage and personal injury.
NOTE: The StreetPilot Bean Bag Dash Mount
Accessory is designed to stabilize the unit during normal
operation of a vehicle. It will not, however, secure the unit
to the vehicle dash in the event of emergency braking or
sharp turns. If you desire the added safety of a secure
mount, use the StreetPilot Dash Mount Bracket and
permanent adhesive supplied with the bracket.

Battery/Map Card
Installation
Battery/Map Data Cartridge Installation
The StreetPilot operates on six (6) AA batteries, which are installed in the left end of the unit, as
viewed from the front. Alkaline, rechargeable NiCad, or Lithium batteries may be used. For extended
operation, use the cigarette lighter adapter to conserve batteries. The on-screen battery level indicator
may be calibrated for alkaline or NiCad batteries, but will not be totally accurate when using Lithium
batteries.
To install batteries and a map data card:
1. Lift up the metal D-ring at the end of the unit rotating ¼ turn anticlockwise to open the
compartment door.
2. Install the batteries (picture at right). It is very important to install ALL batteries with the proper
polarity, positive (+) and negative (-) orientation, as indicated by the markings molded into the
rubber base of the unit and inside the battery compartment door. Do not mix new batteries with
used batteries. Do not mix Alkaline with Lithium or NiCad rechargeable batteries.
3. If you are using an optional Map Data Card with detailed map data or if you plan to
transfer map data from a MapSource®CD-ROM, plug a blank card into the slot next to
the battery compartment, with the label facing toward the front of the StreetPilot (picture at right).
4. Close the battery compartment door and lock in place by turning the D-ring ¼ turn clockwise,
then return the ring to the flush position.
Battery life may vary due to a variety of factors, including ambient temperature and use of
backlighting. You may find that Lithium batteries provide longer life in colder conditions. Data is
retained in memory by an internal Lithium battery when the AA batteries are removed.
Refer to Appendix A for detailed information about MapSource
TM
CD-ROM’s and Data Cards.
Warning
Improper battery installation may cause
personal injury or property damage and/or
battery leakage.

Dash Mounting and
External Power Connection
Your StreetPilot is designed to be portable, allowing you to easily transport the unit from vehicle
to vehicle or take it with you once you reach your destination. A Dash Mount Kit consisting of a
mounting bracket, mounting base, required hardware and adhesive pads is included in the StreetPilot
package. This provides a semi-permanent method of installing the unit at the best viewing location for
the driver or passenger(s). The dash mount bracket may be either permanently or temporarily
mounted using the included adhesive materials. Follow instructions for installing the mounting
bracket on the StreetPilot as explained in the instruction sheet provided with the Dash Mount Kit
which also includes specific instructions for installation of all kit components. General instructions 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 connector by aligning the notches and pushing
the plug into the connector until fully seated (picture at right). Use care when routing the adapter
cable being certain 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 temporary
or permanent adhesive.
Slide the StreetPilot and
mounting bracket into the
base until it snaps into
place.
Slide the locking lever to the right to lock
the unit, preventing it from sliding off
the base.
To remove the unit from the base, slide the
lever to the left, depress

Quick-Start
Finding Your Location Finding Your Location
The first time you use your StreetPilot to navigate, take it outside or properly mount it on the
dashboard of a vehicle in an open area with a clear view of the sky. Make certain 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. Refer to page 8.
When stationary, your Street Pilot should be able to calculate your position within five (5)
minutes after being turned on with a clear view of the sky.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of 24 satellites that circle the Earth twice a day
in a very precise orbit and transmit information to Earth. The StreetPilot must continuously receive
signals from at least three of these satellites to calculate your location and track your movement. At
times, additional satellites may be needed to determine your location.
Your GPS receiver can only receive signals from satellites which are above the horizon, so it
needs to know what satellites to look for at any given time. In order to determine which satellites are
above the horizon, your GPS needs to either be told its general location (“initialized”) or given the
opportunity to find itself. Once you initialize the unit to a location, it will typically compute a position
within a few minutes.
Initialization is only necessary under the following conditions:
!The first time you use your StreetPilot (new from the factory).
!After the StreetPilot has been moved more than 500 miles (with the power off) since the
last time you used it.
!If the StreetPilot’s memory has been cleared and all internally stored data has been lost.
Once the StreetPilot has calculated your location, you will have anywhere from three to 12
satellites in view. The receiver will then continuously select the best satellites in view to update your location.

Quick-Start
7
If the StreetPilot is unable to calculate your location after a few minutes:
1. A ‘Poor Satellite Reception’ box appears on the screen (top right picture).
2. If you are indoors, or would otherwise like to simulate GPS location and motion, use the
ROCKER keypad to highlight Start Simulator and press the ENTER key. The Simulator Mode
starts, and the StreetPilot returns to the page it was showing beforehand.
If the StreetPilot is brand new, or if the StreetPilot unit has been moved hundreds of miles since
the last time it tracked a GPS location, use the ROCKER keypad to highlight Set New
Location and press the ENTER key.
If neither of the above applies, and you would like the StreetPilot to continue looking for GPS
satellites, use the ROCKER keypad to highlight Continue Acquiring and press the ENTER key.
The StreetPilot will return to the page is was showing beforehand.
3. If you chose Set New Location, a new box appears asking what method you would like to use
for aiding the StreetPilot in determining your location.
4. If you know the general area of the continent where you are located, you can speed up the
calculation of your location by pointing to that area on a map. Use the ROCKER keypad to
highlight Use Map (top right picture) and press the ENTER key.
Otherwise, use the ROCKER keypad to select AutoLocate and press the ENTER key. The
StreetPilot will determine where you are located. This process is fully automatic and under
normal circumstances will calculate your position in 3-5 minutes when the unit has a good view
of the sky and is stationary.
Using the Map to Set Location
5. If you chose Use Map, a continental map is displayed with an arrow pointer on it (lower right
picture). Use the ROCKER keypad to move the arrow pointer to your approximate location and
press the ENTER key. Remember, you do not need to be exact. The StreetPilot only needs an idea
where you are within a few hundred miles.
Choosing ‘Use Map’

Quick-Start
You can start the Simulator Mode if you are indoors where the StreetPilot is unable to receive
signals from GPS satellites. It is useful to do this when planning a trip or finding cities, and (if using
MetroGuide Map Data) addresses, intersections, or businesses.
To start the Simulator Mode:
1. Press the OPTION key 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
ROCKER keypad to select the ‘Simulator’ field (see left picture).
2. Press the ENTER key and use the ROCKER keypad to select On (see left picture).
3. Press the ENTER key again to start the Simulator Mode.
4. Press the PAGE key or QUIT key to return to the page the StreetPilot was previously displaying.

Map Zooming and Panning
Small Area - More Detail
Large Area - Less Detail
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 time later to learn about the ‘Find’ and
‘Route’ functions.
If you are not already looking at the Map Page, press the PAGE key until the map is shown on
the screen (top left picture). If the StreetPilot is still trying to determine your position, there will be a
flashing question mark (?) in the center of the map . Otherwise, the StreetPilot is ready to follow as you
drive.
Now, take time to experiment with the Zoom IN and OUT keys. Notice that the further you
zoom in, the more map features that are shown, to the point where every street in the memory is
displayed. If you zoom out to some of the larger views of the map, it is possible to view most of a
continent at one time (bottom left picture). In addition, you can use the rocker keypad to pan from your
current location to other places on the map.
To change the map scale:
Press the IN key to see a smaller area with more detail.
Press the OUT key to see a larger area with less detail.
To pan the map:
1. Press the ROCKER keypad anywhere and an arrow appears. Use the ROCKER keypad to move
the arrow around the map, even to areas not currently shown on the map.
2. When you are finished panning, press the QUIT key. The panning arrow disappears.
