I. Warning

The manufacturer and the distribution chain disclaim

any liability deriving from an improper use of the

device in a way that may cause accidents or damages

to things or persons.

Using this navigator implies that the user accepts

and follows all these warnings and all the

instructions contained on this manual. The driver is

held responsible for using Geosat in the correct way

(passenger or non passenger mode).

The User should ignore the indications suggested by

Geosat in situations that appear to be in contrast

with the Highway Code. The Manufacturer and the

distribution chain disclaim any liability deriving from

an improper use of the device in a way that may

violate the Highway Code.

The Tele Atlas cartographic data loaded in the

navigator may present some discrepancies from the

reality. This is due to the continuous changes in the

street network. Some areas have a better coverage

than others.

I.I Important notes

Important:

• Do not place the navigator in positions that may

obstruct the driver’s view

• Do not place the navigator in positions that may

interfere with the correct functioning of the security/

safety equipment of the vehicle (e.g. airbags).

• Make sure that the navigator is correctly attached

to the bracket before driving.

• Do not rely exclusively on vocal instructions.

Depending on a variety of factors, (speed, weather,

GPS reception etc) these instructions may not be

correct or timely. Always take the information

provided as indicative, and always respect the

6 - AvMap

Highway Code. Satellite navigators should be

considered merely as aids. The driver is held

responsible for safe driving and the choice of the

best route to take.

• Do not consult the navigator whilst driving if this

represents a danger for you and other people.

• Do not program the navigator while driving

•The precision of the GPS signal, in the best possible

conditions is guaranteed with a deviation of 15

meters

N.B.: The information contained in this manual is

updated to August 2007. Any subsequent changes in

the system, in the functions, in the tools bar or maps

introduced after this date will not be present in this

manual.
