6.2.2 GPS• Click “GPS”.This brings you to the screen that tells you the GPS reception status; on this screen:The green “V” means that GPS is activated.“NO Fix / FIX: 2D/FIX: 3D” indicates better signal reception, and therefore more accurate positioning.“SAT”: indicates the number of satellites used to calculate your position.The vertical bars show the satellites detected:• grey the device is receiving satellite signals but cannot use them to establish your position.• green the device is using the satellite signals to calculate your position.• The numbers under the vertical bars give the number of the American satellite.Coordinates: longitude and latitude calculated by the system.Direction arrow: shows the direction of travel between 2 position calculations by the GPS.• Click on “Back” to return to the previous screen.Comment:The ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 is fitted with an SiRF Star III type GPS, the latest generation of GPS, which works even in poor reception conditions.After selecting a destination and before the navigation instructions show your route, the GPS must have three pieces of information to calculate the route: the position, direction of travel and speed. You may consult the GPS screen on your mobile device to follow the GPS signal acquisition.The time the GPS takes to acquire this information varies depending on how much time has elapsed since the device was last used:• your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 has not been switched on for more than 24 hours (“cold start”): in this case the time needed to acquire satellite signals may be quite long (10-15 minutes), and the message “Satellite detection. This may take several minutes” is displayed on the navigation screen.• your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 has not been switched on for more than 4 hours (“warm start”): GPS reception may take several minutes (5 minutes) and the message “Satellite signal acquisition in progress” is displayed on the navigation screen.• you switch on your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 after switching it off a few minutes ago (“hot start”): satellite reception is almost immediate and navigation can continue.GPS acquisition time also varies depending on the surroundings:• athermic windscreens: if your vehicle is equipped with an athermic windscreen, GPS reception may be slower.• car park/tunnel/building: satellite signals do not travel through walls, so you will not receive a GPS signal if your device is in a building, car park, tunnel, etc.• urban “canyoning”: reception will be slower in urban areas if buildings are high, streets narrow or there are a lot of trees. Go to an open space to improve reception.• weather conditions: in poor weather (heavy snow, etc.), GPS reception may take slightly longer.When using ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 for the first time, we advise you to do so in an open space in order to ensure the best possible satellite reception. Activating the GPS system for the first time can take several minutes, depending on the surroundings and the quality of the GPS signals.6.2.3 Sound• Click “Sound”.• Click the left or right arrows to select the setting you want: “Sound” and “Sound Setting”.37

But, it is possible to select only certain subcategories – e.g. Dentist / Doctor / Pharmacy / Hospital-Clinic – to limit the number of POIs subsequently displayed on the screen.• Tick the POI category boxes that you want to see displayed on the map (given the right zoom level).• Click “Deselect all” to display none of the POI categories.Comment:In navigation, displaying a very large number of POIs may call on the device’s resources and reduce the fluidity of the dynamic display. You are therefore recommended to display the POIs you need for the route calculated.6.4.3 Delete POIsUse this option to delete some POI categories from the SD card. The system also deletes the POIs in the deleted categories and will no longer display them.• Click “Delete POIs”.• Click the POI category you want to delete.• When the system displays the message “Are you sure you want to delete this POI?”, click “No” if you do not want to delete the selected POI category and go back to the “Map Option” screen, or “Yes” to confirm deletion of the selected POI category.• Click on the direction arrows to view all the available POI categories presented or on “Back” to return to the previous screen.You may subsequently restore the POIs deleted from a PC using the “Content Manager” program.6.4.4 Display My ViaMichelinThis option allows you to select the categories of saved addresses that will be displayed on the map.• Click “My ViaMichelin”.40
You can now choose to display your POIs from the options:• My Favorites / My personal folders• Addresses• Hotels• Restaurants• Tourism• My POIs• Click “More details” to access the subcategories.• Click “Deselect all” to display no POI category.6.5 Alerts• Click “Alert”.You can change the following options:• Speed Alert use this option to set the speed beyond which the warning signal will sound, depending on the 4 road categories programmed in the system.• POI Warner emits an audible warning when passing near a POI.• My ViaMichelin warning emits an audible warning when passing near a saved address.• Radar off use to turn off the warning when passing near a fixed speed camera POI• Warning Sound use to set the sounds for the various warners.6.5.1 Speed Alert• Click “Speed alert”.• Click the left or right direction arrows to select the setting you want, depending on the type of road selected, or click the speed to select the desired speed from the list.• Click on “On”/”Off” at the bottom right of the screen to switch this function on and off.The default speeds in the “Speed alert” table are:Highways 130 km/h 80 MphExpressways 110 km/h 70 MphRoads 90 km/h 55 MphTowns 50 km/h 30 MphThe range of speed limit settings for the type of road is between 30 kph and 180 kph or between 25 mph and 110mph.This function takes account of the type of road given in the map database without adding more detail about the surroundings or special features of a section.For example:A highway may be limited to 55 mph on some sections instead of 70 mph by default. When the map database identifies an “expressway” it will not indicate the section limited to 55 mph. A “road”, on the other hand, may have the same speed limit as an expressway in some places. The Speed Warner will then indicate excess speed although the traffic regulations authorize this speed.“Speed alerts” should therefore be used for information, but as with all navigation information supplied by your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970, this information is subject to traffic regulations.6.5.2 POI Warner• Click “POI Warner”.• Tick the boxes by the POI categories for which you want to trigger an audible signal when they are nearby:• Click “More details” if you want to break your selection down into subcategories of POIs.• Click “Deselect All” to switch off warners on all POI categories.Activating a “POI Warner” for a POI category leads to POIs of this category being displayed.41
