Garmin Travel Guide
Much like a paper travel guide, the Garmin 
Travel Guide provides detailed information 
about places, such as restaurants and hotels. 
To purchase an accessory, go to http://buy
.garmin.com, or contact your Garmin dealer. 
To use the Travel Guide, insert the memory 
card into your Navigator IV. Touch Where 
To? > extras. Touch the name of your 
Travel Guide to view it. 
Battery Information 
Your Navigator IV contains a 
user-replaceable, lithium-ion battery. To 
maximize the lifetime of the battery, do not 
leave your Navigator IV in direct sunlight, 
and avoid prolonged exposure to excessive 
heat.  The 
 battery icon in the corner of 
the Menu page indicates the status of 
the Navigator IV battery. To increase 
the accuracy of the battery gauge, fully 
discharge the battery and fully charge it. Do 
not unplug the Navigator IV until it is totally 
charged.
Replacing the Battery in the 
Navigator IV
If you need to replace the battery in the 
Navigator IV, contact your local BMW 
Motorrad dealer. Contact your local waste 
disposal department for information about 
properly disposing of the battery.
Charging Your Navigator IV
•  Use the motorcycle mount.
•  Use the optional automotive power cable.
•  Use the optional USB cable.
•  Use an optional AC adapter cable. 
•  Use an optional battery charger.
• When the Navigator IV is being charged 
with the power supply or USB cable, it 
cannot be used.
 NoTe: The battery does not charge in the 
motorcycle mount while the Navigator IV 
is turned off.
 NoTe: The automotive power cable must 
be used to charge the Navigator IV when 
the unit is in the car mount.
Maximizing the Battery Life
•  Turn down the backlight (Tools > 
Settings > Display > Brightness).
•  Disable Bluetooth; see page 19.
•  Do not leave your Navigator IV in direct 
sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to 
excessive heat.

Changing the Fuse in the 
Automotive Power Adapter 
(Optional)
	NoTiCe: When replacing the fuse, do not 
lose any of the small pieces, and ensure 
they are put back in the proper place. 
If your unit does not charge in your vehicle, 
you may need to replace the fuse located at 
the tip of the automotive adapter.
1. Unscrew the black, round end piece, and 
remove it. 
2.  Remove the fuse (glass 
and silver cylinder), and 
replace with a 3A fast-
blow fuse. 
3.  Ensure that the silver 
tip is placed in the black 
end piece. Screw on the 
black end piece. 
About GPS Satellite Signals
Your Navigator IV must acquire GPS 
(Global Positioning System) satellite 
signals to navigate. If you are indoors, 
near tall buildings or trees, or in a parking 
garage, your Navigator IV cannot acquire 
satellites. Go outside to an area free from tall 
obstructions to use your Navigator IV. 
When your Navigator IV has acquired 
satellite signals, the signal strength bars on 
the Menu page are green 
. When it 
loses satellite signals, the bars turn red or 
clear 
. 
For more information about GPS, go to 
www.garmin.com/aboutGPS.
Removing the Navigator IV 
and Mounts
To remove the Navigator IV from the cradle 
on both the automobile and motorcycle 
mounts, press the button on the side of the 
cradle, and tilt the Navigator IV forward.
To remove the cradle from the automobile 
mount, turn the cradle to the right or the left. 
Apply pressure until the socket on the cradle 
releases the ball on the mount. 
Caring for Your Navigator IV 
Your Navigator IV contains sensitive 
electronic components that can be 
permanently damaged if exposed to 
excessive shock or vibration exceeding that 
of normal motorcycle or automobile use. 
To minimize the risk of damage to your 
Navigator IV, avoid dropping your unit and 
operating it in extreme high-shock and high-
vibration environments.End

Appendix
Cleaning the Casing
The Navigator IV is constructed of high-
quality materials and does not require user 
maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the 
outer casing (not the touchscreen) using 
a cloth dampened with a mild detergent 
solution, and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical 
cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic 
components.
Cleaning the Touchscreen
Clean the touchscreen with a soft, clean, 
lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, 
or eyeglass cleaner, if needed. Apply the 
liquid to the cloth, and then gently wipe the 
touchscreen.
Protecting Your Navigator IV
• When not in use, store your Navigator 
IV in the carrying case included in the 
packaging.
•  Do not store the Navigator IV where 
prolonged exposure to extreme 
temperatures can occur, because it can 
cause permanent damage.  • 
Though a PDA stylus can be used to 
operate the touchscreen, never attempt 
this while operating a vehicle. Never 
use a hard or sharp object to operate the 
touchscreen, or damage may result. 
Avoiding Theft
• To avoid theft, remove the unit and mount 
from sight when not in use. Remove the 
residue on the windshield left by the 
suction cup. 
•  Do not keep your unit in the glove 
compartment. 
•  Register your product at 
http://my.garmin.com. 
•  Use the Garmin Lock feature. See page 
37.

IV product is in compliance with the

Troubleshooting
Problem/QuestionSolution/Answer
My Navigator IV never 
gets satellite signals. Take your Navigator IV out of parking garages and away from tall buildings and trees. Remain stationary for several minutes. 
My Navigator IV does 
not charge in my 
vehicle. Check the fuse in the automotive power cable. 
Ensure the vehicle is turned on and is supplying power to the power outlet. 
Your Navigator IV can only charge between 32°F and 113°F (0°C and 45°C). If the Navigator IV is placed in direct sunlight or in a 
hot environment, it cannot charge. 
Use the automotive cable to charge the unit. The USB connector on the automotive mount cannot be used to charge the Navigator 
IV.
How do I clear all my 
user data? Hold your finger on the lower-right corner of the Navigator IV screen while it is turning on. Keep your finger pressed until the 
message appears. Touch Yes to clear all user data.
The Navigator IV is 
locked up/frozen. If the Navigator IV screen stops functioning, turn off the Navigator IV, and then turn on the Navigator IV. If this does not help, press 
the Power button and hold it for 8 seconds. Turn on the Navigator IV again. The Navigator IV should operate normally.
The touchscreen is 
not responding to my 
touches properly. Turn off the Navigator IV. Hold your finger on the screen and then press and hold the Power button. Hold until the calibration screen 
appears.
Follow on-screen instructions.
I cannot hear audio 
through the internal 
speaker.  From the Main  menu, touch Volume, verify that Mute is not select and the volume is not set at 0%.
The audio you are trying to listen to may not play through the device you are using. See the audio options matrix on page 36.
My battery gauge does 
not seem accurate. Allow the unit to fully discharge, and then fully charge it (without interrupting the charge cycle).
My phone will not 
connect to the 
Navigator IV. Touch Tools > Settings > Bluetooth. Verify that the Bluetooth field is set to Enabled.
Ensure your phone is turned on and is less than 33 feet (about 10 meters) away from your Navigator IV. 
Go to www.garmin.com/bluetooth for more help.

Problem/QuestionSolution/Answer
How do I know my 
Navigator IV is in USB 
mass storage mode? When your Navigator IV is in USB mass storage mode, a picture of a Navigator IV connected to a computer is shown. Also, you 
should see two new removable disk drives listed in My Computer. 
My computer never 
senses that the 
Navigator IV is 
connected. 1. 
Unplug the USB cable from your computer. 
2.  Turn the Navigator IV off. 
3.    Plug the USB cable into your computer and your Navigator IV. The Navigator IV automatically turns on and goes into USB mass 
storage mode. 
I cannot see any new 
removable drives in my 
list of drives. If you have several network drives mapped on your computer, Windows may have trouble assigning drive letters to your Navigator 
IV drives. See the operating system Help file to learn how to map/assign drive letters. 
I cannot get traffic 
information.  Verify that you are in a coverage area. You must be in a coverage area to get the traffic information for that area. 
Verify that the FM TMC Traffic receiver is connected to the power connector on the cradle and also connected to a power outlet in 
your vehicle. 
How can I find 
restaurants near the 
hotel I will be staying at 
in the future? 1. 
Touch Where To? > Near > Different City (and enter your vacation destination).
2.  Find the hotel and touch Go!.
3.  Touch Menu > Where To? > Near > My Destination.
4.  Search for a restaurant. Restaurants nearest to your hotel are listed first.
I want to go to a city 
without knowing a 
street address. Instead of searching for an address, touch Where To? > Cities to navigate to the center of a city.
