Selecting a Usage Mode
Automobile
Pedestrian
Motorcyle
Scooter
Your Navigator IV offers several usage 
modes for different modes of transportation. 
Routing and navigation are calculated 
differently based on your usage mode. 
For example, one-way streets are treated 
differently in walking mode than they are in 
driving mode.
When you place your Navigator IV in a 
mount that does not correspond to its current 
usage mode, the Navigator IV will ask you 
whether you want to change usage modes.
Changing your Usage Mode
1.  Touch the usage mode icon.
2.  Select a mode, and touch  OK.
3.   Touch Yes, and follow the on-screen 
instructions to configure your settings.
Using Shortcuts
Selection shortcuts are available for 
scrolling, zooming on the map, selecting 
Go!, and other options on your Navigator IV.
When a + and - appear on the screen above 
or next to a button, touch 
 or  on your 
motorcycle mount to select that option.
