About GPS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of satellites that
a GPS receiver uses to calculate geographical positions. To determine
a position, data from at least three satellites is required. To determine
elevation, the data from four or more satellites is required. Accuracy of
the positioning varies from 10 feet to several hundred feet, depending
on vehicle placement and the surrounding environment.
Geographical terrain (such as mountains), man-made structures (such as
highway overpasses, bridges, and tall buildings), as well as weather
can interfere with the GPS signal. For best GPS reception, position the
device and mount with a clear line of sight to the sky. Some vehicles
may have a limited view of the sky due to metal sun shields or a
metallized windshield coating.
Map data includes the geographical coordinates for address locations and
points of interest (POIs). With GPS reception, your device calculates a route
to your selected location.

Enter the first few characters in a name and a short list displays
names that start with the typed characters. Continue entering characters
until the searched-for name displays in the list. Tap the name to select it.
Cities

State or County Routes
If you’re entering a State or County Route, it’s usually best to first either enter
the State or County initials, (for example, State Road 535 would be entered
as “SR”) but you may also need to try other options, such as “State Road” or
“CA” for California, for example.
Nearby vs Along Route
You can modify the search to include all areas near your current location by
selecting Nearby, or in areas along your current route by selecting Along
Route. Tap the Change button to alternate between these searches.
Truck Loads
After setting a destination, you must confirm if the truck is loaded or not. Tap
a button to indicate:
Empty: The truck is not loaded
