A green circle on the world map (figure 8.1,
above) indicates the GPS has locked onto this
satellite. A white or red circle indicates the
CoPilot doesn’t have a lock on this satellite. The
size of the circle indicates the strength of the
signal : the larger the circle, the stronger the
signal.
When the GPS locks on a sufficient number of
satellites, it locks your current location and
displays it (in latitude and longitude) in the lower
right corner.
When the GPS locks onto four or more satellites,
it can also calculate your elevation. Your
elevation is displayed on the world map below
your current location.
Note : If you tap the “turn off GPS” button to
disable the GPS receiver, the CoPilot will be
unable to calculate your current location.
The GPS receiver built into the X5 CoPilot is
among the most sensitive in the industry, and
under normal circumstances should have no
problem obtaining a position lock. Even so, the
most common cause of signal lock issues is
external radio interference or signal blockage.
Some common causes for GPS interference are:
o Radio broadcast towers or signal repeaters
o Tall buildings or canyon walls
o Tunnels, large bridges, overpasses, parking garages
o High frequency power lines
o Large iron-ore deposits beneath your location

Inactive Buttons on the Main Menu
On the bottom bar of the main menu are three
buttons labeled Stop, Resume, and Re-Route. If a
button’s function is not available, the button is
deactivated and displayed in gray (See Figure 8.0,
right). For example, if you pause an active route,
the STOP and RE-ROUTE buttons are deactivated,
and the RESUME button becomes active.
Throughout the system you’ll find this trend to be
true –inactive buttons are grayed and appear in
color when they are active and enabled.
Primary Buttons on the Main Menu
There are four primary buttons –those in the
center of the screen –of the main menu. The
“Current Location” button takes you to the main
navigation (map) screen. The remaining three
enable you to define the destination, points of
interest, and common destinations –we’ll
provide more on these other three buttons later
in this document.
