1 Warnings and Safety information
The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS
receiver. Zenec navigation does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.
It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of
the vehicle, we recommend that you operate Zenec navigation before you start your journey.
Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change the route.
You must obey the traffic signs and follow the road geometry. If you deviate from the
recommended route, Zenec navigation changes the instructions accordingly.
6

2 Getting started
Zenec navigation is optimised for in-car use. You can use it easily by tapping the screen
buttons and the map with your fingertips.
When using the navigation software for the first time, an initial setup process starts
automatically. Do as follows:
1. Select the written language of the application interface. Later you can change it in
Regional settings (page 102).
2. Read the road safety warning message and tap to continue.
3. Zenec navigation reminds you that you have 30 days to download the latest maps from
zenec.naviextras.com. Tap to continue.
After the initial setup, the Navigation menu appears and you can start using Zenec navigation.

2.1 Navigation menu
You can reach all parts of Zenec navigation from the Navigation menu.
This screen is the first screen to appear whenever you start the navigation without a planned
route or if you have arrived at your destination last time you used the navigation.
You have the following options:
•Tap to select your destination by entering an address or selecting
a place of interest, a location on the map or one of your Favourite destinations. You
can also look up your recent destinations from the Smart History or enter a coordinate.
•Tap to display the route parameters and the route in its full length
on the map. You can also perform route-related actions such as editing or cancelling
your route, setting a start point for the route, picking route alternatives, avoiding parts
of the route, simulating navigation or adding the destination to your Favourites.
•Tap to customise the way the navigation software works, to
simulate demo routes or to run some additional applications.
•Tap to start navigating on the map. The button itself is a miniature
live map that shows your current position, the recommended route and the surrounding
map area. Tap the button to enlarge the map to the full screen.

2.2 Buttons and other controls on the screen
When you are using Zenec navigation, you usually tap buttons on the touch screen.
You only need to confirm selections or changes if the application needs to restart, it needs to
perform a major reconfiguration, or you are about to lose some of your data or settings.
Otherwise, Zenec navigation saves your selections and applies the new settings without
confirmation as soon as you use the controls.
