Setup the NAV 350 on a vehicle

The NAV 350 comes with a car mount kit and a car charger with which you can set up the device on a vehicle. Choose a position for the car mount kit on the windshield using the suction cup, or on the dashboard using the self-adhesive power disc connector.

Some countries prohibit the mounting of any electronic device in any location on the vehicle dashboard. Be sure to check your local laws for acceptable mounting areas before installing the car mount bracket.

Some newer vehicle models may have a heat reflective shield embedded in the windshield. This may in some cases obstruct the GPS signal reception. If you encounter this problem in your vehicle, you need to purchase an external GPS antenna.
