Glossary of Terms
Common terms used in this manual and on the M-Nav 900/950 include:
GPS
The Global Positioning system (GPS) is a network of satellites that orbit the Earth
at about 12,000 miles (19,300 kms) and transmit accurate time and position
information worldwide. The GPS receiver in your M-Nav 900/950 picks up signals
from any satellites in view and uses the information to determine your location,
accurate to within 15 ft (5 m). Usually, only three signals are needed to provide
a latitude and longitude position (GPS fix) for vehicle navigation systems.
POI
Point of Interest (POI) is a useful resource along or nearby the route, such as a
fuel location or a post office. You can add a POI to your route as a via point.
Via Point
A specific location that you want to visit along the route. A via point can be any
location that you specify, such as a customer site or a POI.
Destination
The next via point along your route.
Final Destination
The final via point along your route. It is always marked with a chequered flag.
Trip
The complete list of via points that you specify; including the start location, the

Route
When you have defined all the via points in your trip, the M-Nav 900/950 will
