Page 11 Page How Your Navigation System Works GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites that circle the earth and, in doing so, are constantly transmitting their position and their time.
The GPS receiver receives this data and calculates its own geographical position from the various position and time information broadcast by the different satellites. Page Important Safety Information Important safety information It is in your own interest to read the following safety information and warnings carefully before you start up your navigation system.
Attention: Do not operate the navigation system whilst you are driving — HOLD Use the bottom key to switch the touch sensitivity of the touchscreen on and off.

Refer to chapter "Specifying destination country" on page 32 for information on specifying a different destination country. Page Points Of Interest 4. It concerns addresses or points on the map that are categorized according to specific criteria. Included as points of interest are airports and harbours, restaurants, hotels, petrol stations, public facilities, doctors, hospitals, shopping centres and others.
It includes the nearest points of interest sorted according to distance in the specified category. If the list is long, you can move within it using the 6.

The POI menu opens. The map opens in Preview mode. You can start navigating here.

You can save up to destinations in the F Refer to chapter "Saving destinations" You can set up this speech command when you save the destination, but also at any other point. Refer to chapter "Setting up a speech command" on page 41 for how to set up a speech command.
Alongside towns and streets you can also quickly select points of interest. In the M The options list opens.

The dialogue closes again. If you would like to define the destination as a home address, then tap on the highlighted in black. In the F which you wish to change. As with most GPS devices, you can enter a location by specific address, point of interest, recent destination, user-defined home, and so forth. The N can calculate routes in one of four ways--fast, optimum, short, or scenic--and gives you the option to allow or avoid highways and toll roads.
There are also pedestrian, bicycle, and motorcycle route options, and our favorite, slow car mode. Other standard navigation features include automatic route recalculation, multi-stop trips, simulated demos, speed alerts, and of course, text- and voice-guided turn-by-turn directions. There are slick transitions between maps and we'll mention the aesthetically pleasing icons again, as they add much value to the navigation experience.
You can view maps in 2D or 3D mode, and with day or night colors. The map screen shows you plenty of data, such as the name of the street you're on, distance to next turn, estimated time of arrival, remaining distance, a compass, signal strength, and more. Of course, if you feel the screen is too cluttered, you can always choose to hide some of these elements via the Settings menu. Another benefit of the Navigon software is its excellent points of interest POI database.
For example, McDonald's is identified by the familiar golden arches and Shell gas stations are noted with a shell. Clearly, the N doesn't offer branded POI for all businesses, but we're impressed and appreciative of this feature--nice touch. We found the database to be fairly up to date, though not perfect.
The Pocket Loox N's media player is pretty basic, but gets the essential job done. You can create playlists on the fly, and there's also a shuffle and a repeat mode. There's no equalizer, but you can adjust treble and bass through the Audio option under the Settings menu. You can play music while navigating, but it was our experience that the N didn't interrupt the song when giving a voice prompt.
Instead, both were played at the same time, which didn't do any good. The video player offers a full-screen mode and repeat function and works with WMV files.
However, there is an included conversion app to convert other video formats. Finally, Fujitsu Siemens throws in a few extra utilities. You get a world clock, a calculator, and two games, one of which, much to our delight, was Pacman , although it's called Smart Pixie on this device.
We found the unit to be real sluggish at times. I consider myself a pretty patient person, but there are times when I was ready to walk away from this device. For example, it took over a minute for the Navigator app to launch. The Voice Command option on the main menu then allows you to say your destination and it will take you to the specified favourite. While this works well indoors, it requires a considerably raised voice in the car — the microphone is hidden away nicely on the back corner of the device making it difficult for it to pick up your commands.
You can re-arrange the points easily enough if you make a mistake in your order. As with selecting a standard destination you have the option of selecting from favourites and POIs as well as adding an address.
A slight downside to the Navigon software is that you cannot view the route without having a GPS signal so if you are planning indoors before you set off you will need to either stand outside with the LOOX or attach the windscreen mount.
You can set the LOOX to use the screen in either portrait or landscape but this must be changed before loading up Navigon. My opinion is that the layout is better suited to portrait orientation, particularly when you have the extras showing on the screen such as current speed and altitude, distance remaining, next turns etc. The mapping is nice and clear using an orange and grey colour scheme but you must manually change between day and night modes.
Whilst looking at the map you can drag it around, zoom in and out and select a POI or new road. You then have the option of adding it to the route, navigating directly to it, saving it as a favourite or searching nearby.
Route calculation is relatively speedy and once done you can review the list of turns and remove certain roads if you want to avoid any known problems. You can also simulate the route in almost real-time with no way to speed it up. Once navigating, the instructions are very clear and well timed however the internal speaker is no where near adequate; I recommend either an FM Transmitter or some lead or other to connect it to your car stereo.
The built in MP3 player has a separate volume to the navigation voice so you can have that loud enough to hear and still adjust the voice level accordingly.
At seemingly random times you get told to watch your speed, even with no speed cameras around. I can only presume that the mapping has data for the road speeds on certain roads and warns you if you exceed it. Approaching turns you get a diagram of the junction in the bottom left corner as well as a count-down display for that turn.
