1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Navman M-Nav 650. We hope you enjoy your new GPS messaging and
navigation system.
Whether your fleet operates in your own city, across a country or a continent, the M-Nav will direct your
fleet operators to their destination without the need for map books or second hand directions. With
destinations provided from the OnlineAVL client by the Fleet Manager you can rest assured that your
fleet operators are taking the fastest route to the correct destination all the time, every time.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is available free of charge, at any time, and is usually accurate to
within 5 m (15 ft). Your M-Nav map provides street-level detail for door-to-door navigation, including
Points of Interest (POIs) such as accommodation, petrol stations, railway stations and airports.

1.1 GPS and GPS Signals
The GPS is a network of satellites that transmit accurate time and position information worldwide. GPS
receivers receive signals from these satellites and use the information to determine an exact location.
Satellites orbit the earth at around 12,000 miles. While a GPS receiver can detect signals from up to
12 satellites at any time, only three signals are needed to provide a position or “GPS fix” (latitude and
longitude) for vehicle navigation systems.
The GPS receiver, such as the Navman Halo or Qube, receives GPS signals. To receive GPS signals,
ensure that the the receiver is outdoors, or in a vehicle outdoors, and the GPS antenna has an
unobstructed view of the sky.
For more information about GPS and your M-Nav, see Section 5.
