1 INTRODUCTION
CompeGPS dedicates all its experience and effort to enable you get the best out
of your outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, trail running, geocaching…
TwoNav offers directional assistance, both on-road and off-road activities, this
assistance is invaluable in order to increase the safety of your itineraries. Despite
this, under certain circumstances, you may be distracted by misuse of the
application, in this case it may become a hazard either for you or the
environment. Please, use TwoNav application with responsibility.
Even TwoNav offers you the possibility to use this application in any type of
vehicle but it is very important to take into consideration a series of
recommendations and regulations to properly use the application:
Fit TwoNav application correctly: TwoNav should be fitted in a place
where it will not obstruct your visibility. Moreover, it must be secured to
ensure it cannot fall off easily and hinder driving.
Do not handle TwoNav while driving: Plan all details regarding your
itinerary before starting the navigation. Any change must be done with the
vehicle stopped in a safe place (not on the road or kerbs).
Guided by sound indications: TwoNav application will warn you with
sound infications of upcoming manoeuvres and when to carry them out. A
glance at the visual information displayed by TwoNav may be useful in
order to know which path you should take, but you must resort to this
visual information only if you can do it safely (vehicle stopped). When
driving, you should always keep your eyes on the road.
Front-seat passenger can easily help you: The driver is always facing
the road, so if you have a front-seat passenger, CompeGPS strongly
recommends this person to be in charge of handling the TwoNav
application. The front-seat passenger will be able to make any clarification
or changes in the navigation.
Getting it wrong is not a problem: If any indication provided by TwoNav
cannot be followed, the application will automatically re-calculate a new
itinerary adapted to the new situation. This makes sure that you will
always reach your final destination.
Maps always contain errors: Remember that it is impossible to have
100% updated information for all your maps. So, new streets, changes in
street directions or road restrictions may invalidate partially the calculation
of your itinerary. It is very important to be aware of these changes and to
get adapted to the new situation.

Traffic regulations have always preference: In order to fully comply the
traffic regulations of each country.

2.4 Application status
From ‘Main menu > Status’ you can check the status of general functions of
TwoNav application.
Triplog (recording of itinerary): ‘Triplog’ is the command allowing you to
manage the recording of your itinerary, your itinerary will be recorded
when ‘Triplog’ is started.
Reception and position of satellites: Check the number of satellites
available as well as their distribution orbiting over the vault and their
coverage.
By default, when TwoNav is launched, it will try to connect to available
satellites so that you can start working with GPS function. If GPS is
disconnected, TwoNav will not receive any position signal and many
application functions will stop working.
Possible states for GPS function:
Disconnected
Connected (without position)
Connecting
Connected (with position)
Error (not found)
Connected (with position) and
recording track
S

somewhere without GPS coverage (for example: inside a building), GPS
status will turn into ‘Connected (without position)’.
Battery level: Check the current battery level for TwoNav application.
Screen brightness level: Set the general brightness level for the screen.
Audio level: Set the general audio and the volume of each audible
element individually.
2.5 Recharging
Your GPS device may operate around a maximum of:
TwoNav Aventura: 20 consecutive hours with no need of recharging.
Device’s screen uses an important amount of energy resources, so it is
recommended to turn it off while not using it. By doing this simple action, the
battery life will be longer. Moreover, remember that the screen of the device will
be turned off after inactivity.
Battery life can be increased by reducing the level of screen backlight or by
turning the screen off when not in use (configuring the automatic shutdown
screen function or by activating the standby mode with a long press on ‘Hold’ key
and selecting ‘Block’).
Configure more options at ‘Main menu > Settings > Autonomy’
Additionally, you can also recharge the li-ion battery of the GPS device using
several power sources:
Computer: When connecting the device to a computer, besides allowing
you to manage the data present in the memory, the battery is also
charged.
Wall charger: Charge the battery using a wall power point.
Car charger: Allows you to charge the battery during ‘On-Road’
navigations.
AA battery: Replaces the li-ion battery for 3 AA piles, increasing the
power of your device in case of emergency.
