- Automatic start of navigation: after the destination is set, on the screen "Route Plan" ("Route plan") click "Go" ("Go"), and the A-Navi system will automatically start navigating. The procedure is described below:
- 0-1. If a GPS signal is found, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, you must wait to receive GPS signals.
- 0-2. Set your current position as the starting point, and using the best route, start navigation.
- Automatic Rerouting: If you accidentally miss a recommended turn, the A-Navi system will start recalculating a new route after about 100 meters. In this case, you will never get lost.
