Mounting Instructions

The mount secures the unit to

glass or other smooth sur-

faces.

To attach the mount:

1. Press the suction cup against a

clean surface.

2. Push the locking lever to-

ward the base of the mount.

3. To remove it, disengage the

locking lever and pull on

the suction release tab.

4. To dismount XOG, push the release tab at top of unit up slightly.

Then, lift the unit forward and out of the bracket.

CAUTION

Do not leave the unit unattended on an automobile dashboard.

When the GPS is not in use, protect it from theft and heat by

storing it in an unobtrusive location away from direct sunlight.

In warm seasons the temperature can become hot enough to pre-

vent the GPS unit from operating. When the GPS is not in use

for an extended period of time we recommend bringing it indoors

and storing it at room temperature.

WARNING

When mounting a GPS unit in an automobile you must avoid

any installation that obscures instruments and controls or re-

stricts the driver's view through the windows. Avoid placing

the GPS where it could be propelled by an airbag. Some areas

may restrict mounting any electronic device in any location on

an automobile dash or windshield. Check local laws before us-

ing these mounts. Check the suction mount for adhesion each

time you use the unit and reinstall it. This is a portable mount-

ing device and the normal heating and cooling cycle of a car's

interior can loosen the seal. A loose seal could allow the unit to

fall or come loose during vehicle operations.

Determine Your Position Before Traveling

XOG must lock-on to multiple GPS satellites to determine your current

position and navigate. This requires a clear view of the sky, unob-

structed by structures or heavy foliage.

When you begin a trip, make sure XOG can "see" the sky and wait for it

to determine a position before you start driving or walking. A question

mark flashes over the current position arrow to indicate the unit has

not calculated its position.

XOG usually has good satellite reception through automobile windows.

Some windshields have heat reflective properties or defrosters that

block GPS signal reception. Consult your vehicle manufacturer to de-

termine if your car has this special glass installed. If so, you may need

to mount the unit near another window.

Map Page

The unit’s map page displays where you are as well as your surround-

ings.

A black arrow icon indicates your position on the map page. The map

displays the route with a magenta line, with colored dots at each turn.

Use the Map Orientation button to toggle between three different

map views:

North Up always shows the map with North at the top of the screen.

Track Up rotates the map so that the direction you are traveling is al-

ways at the top of the screen. In Track Up, the button rotates to show

which way is North. 3D View displays the map from a position above

and slightly behind the black arrow icon.

Overlay Data boxes provide information about your route. Overlay

data appears in semi-transparent boxes on the map screen. The trans-

parency level of overlay data boxes can be controlled from the Interface

Options screen on Menu 2 in the Options feature.

Use the Auto Zoom button to toggle automatic zoom on and off. As

the map screen moves to track your position, Auto Zoom will enlarge

the map based on your speed and the distance to the next turn. For

manual zoom control, turn off Auto Zoom and launch the Map Display

Toolbar.
