1 Warnings and safety information
XROAD is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected
destination. It will determine your exact location with the help of the built-in GPS
device. The position information obtained from the GPS receiver will not be
transmitted anywhere, so others will not be able to track you by the help of this
program.
If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate XROAD before
beginning your journey. The driver’s attention should always be on the road. Plan
your route before departure and pull over if you need to change route parameters.
XROAD has a built-in (optional) Safety Mode that will prevent you from using the
screen functions if your car is in motion. Unless a passenger will be the only one to
operate XROAD, we strongly encourage you to turn on the Safety Mode.
It is also important that you look at the display only if it is absolutely safe to do so.
You should always observe traffic signs and road geometry before you obey any
instruction from XROAD. If you need to deviate from the recommended direction,
XROAD will suggest a modified route according to the new situation.
Never place the PNA where it can obstruct the view of the driver, is within the
deployment zone of airbags, or where it can cause injuries in case of an accident.
For further information, please consult the End User License Agreement: Page 95.

2 General information
XROAD is a navigation system optimized for in-car use. It provides door-to-door
navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route parameters.
XROAD is capable of planning routes throughout the whole installed map set. Unlike
some other products, XROAD does not require that you change maps or switch to a
poorly detailed general map to navigate between map segments or countries. You
always have complete freedom to go wherever you wish. Just select your destination
and go.
You do not need a stylus to use XROAD. All screen buttons and controls are
designed so that you can operate them with your fingertips.
You can access all functions of the program by using hardware and screen buttons.
With the help of these buttons you can travel through all the screens of the program.
Most of the screens (especially menu functions and settings) can be accessed from
several other screens, minimizing the number of actions needed to reach the desired
function.
When using XROAD, you do not need to ‘double tap’ or ‘tap & hold’ the touch screen
as these functions cannot be used reliably in a moving vehicle. A single tap triggers
most of the screen controls. The only exceptions are ‘drag & drop’ for moving the
map, or scaling it in Map mode (Page 32).
Most of the screens have a Return button in the top left corner. This arrow
returns to the previous screen or directly to one of the map screens.
Settings screens also have a Help button in the top right corner. This will show
a detailed description of the current settings screen.
