is  fixed  on  the  screen  and  the  map
moves.
● The  current  position  is  automatically  set
as  the  vehicle  receives  signals  from  the
GPS  (Global  Positioning  System).  If  the
current  position  is  not  correct,  it  is  auto-
matically  corrected  after  the  vehicle
receives signals from the GPS.
● After 12-volt battery disconnection, or on
a  new  vehicle,  the  current  position  may
not  be  correct.  As  soon  as  the  system
receives  signals  from  the  GPS,  the  cor-
rect current position is displayed.

and  released,  that  point  moves  to  the

remains  centered  at  the  selected  loca-
tion  until  another  function  is  activated.
The  current  position  mark  will  continue
to  move  along  your  actual  route  and
may move off the screen. When   is
touched,  the  current  position  mark
returns  to  the  center  of  the  screen  and
the map moves as the vehicle proceeds
along the designated route.
 When the scroll feature is used, the cur-
rent  position  mark  may  disappear  from
the screen. Touch   on the screen to
