Follow all product instructions and all instructions in your vehicle owners manual regarding accessories or modifications. Consult your countrys and/or states laws regarding operation of a vehicle with any accessories or modifications.

To prepare to exit a road, always follow distance information on road signs. The use of information regarding safety or speed camera locations may be subject to local laws in the country of use. You are responsible for checking that you can legally use the information in your country or in the country where the information will be used.

Reference

What is GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is available at any time, free of charge, and is accurate to within 5m (15ft). GPS navigation is made possible by a network of satellites that orbit the Earth at around 20,200km (12,552mi). Each satellite transmits a range of signals which are utilised by GPS receivers, such as your Mio, to determine an exact location. Although a GPS receiver can detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any time, only four signals are required to provide a position or GPS fix (latitude and longitude), for vehicle navigation systems.
How does my Mio receive GPS signals?
Your Mio receives GPS signals via the internal GPS antenna. To guarantee the optimum GPS signal strength, ensure your Mio is outdoors, or in a vehicle outdoors, and has an unobstructed view of the sky. GPS reception is not usually affected by weather, however, very heavy rain or snow may have a negative effect on your reception.

Caring for your Mio

Taking good care of your Mio will ensure trouble-free operation and reduce the risk of damage to your Mio: Keep your Mio away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures. Avoid exposing your Mio to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. Do not place anything on top of your Mio or drop objects on your Mio. Do not drop your Mio or subject it to severe shock. Do not subject your Mio to sudden and severe temperature changes. This could cause moisture condensation inside the unit, which could damage your Mio. In the event of moisture condensation, allow your Mio to dry out completely before use. The screen surface can easily be scratched. Avoid touching it with sharp objects. Non-adhesive generic screen protectors designed specifically for use on portable devices with LCD panels may be used to help protect the screen from minor scratches. Never clean your Mio when it is turned on. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen and the exterior of your Mio. Do not use paper towels to clean the screen.
