so I remember how to use the GPS in the bloody work car.

Quick Guide to use the Navigation and Radio ALWAYS PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IF ENTERING OR CHANGING INFORMATION INTO THE SYSTEM. When the ignition to the vehicle is activated “turning the car on” the navigation screen may automatically appear, if not, you will need to press the “on” button located on the dashboard (red button). It will take a few seconds to register the GPS and start the program Select “Navigation” on the touch screen Select “Find” on the touch screen Select either “Find Address” or “Favourites” (GPNSW Sydney office) is entered in favourite for your return home now select the row that you need to change, ie Australia won’t need to be touched, however if you are traveling outside of NSW then you will need to select this row and update. Do the same for the city, street and number Once you are happy that the destination is correct then select “Set as Destination” If you get out of the navi program either by choice or by accident ie changing the band
