GETTING STARTED: A Tutorial  
Introduction  
The tutorial below guides you through the steps for finding a restaurant in your area and then creating a  
route to it. If you have never used a StreetPilot or a GPS navigation unit before, try this simple task. You’ll  
see that using your StreetPilot is fast and easy.  
Where to find it  
To learn how to attach your vehicle  
adapter to your StreetPilot, see page 64.  
Step 1: If you have not already done so, attach the vehicle adaptor to your StreetPilot  
and plug it in to your vehicles cigarette lighter. Turn on the StreetPilot so that it can find  
satellites. When your StreetPilot has established a satellite fix, your screen should display a  
“Ready to Navigate” message, as shown below:  
•Learn how to create and customize  
routes, beginning on page 28.  
•Learn more about GPS navigation  
beginning on page 56.  
Note: Make certain your StreetPilots view  
is unobstructed as it looks for satellites.  
For example, it cannot establish a satellite  
fix if your vehicle is parked in a garage.  
To nd a city, address, intersection,  
park, or other point of interest, see Find-  
ing Places, beginning on page 19.  
To learn how to use the keypad on  
your StreetPilot as well as the remote  
control unit, see page 4.

Manual Conventions  
Introduction  
• This manual refers to the StreetPilot as a “StreetPilot,” “unit,” or “GPS receiver.” It makes no distinction  
between these terms. “StreetPilot” refers to both the 2620 and 2660 models unless specifically stated.  
• This manual uses the term “Map page” when referring to pages that have maps. In all other instances, the  
terms “page,” “screen,” and “window” are used interchangeably.  
USING THE STREETPILOT IN SIMULATOR MODE  
• This manual uses the words “button” and “key” interchangeably.  
• This manual uses the term “press” when you need to activate the keys on the StreetPilot or on the remote  
control.  
• Although you can either touch the screen to activate commands or use the remote control, most instruc-  
tions in this manual assume that you are using the touchscreen.  
• This manual uses “touch” and “select” interchangeably. When asked to touch or select an icon or tab,  
simply tap the icon or tab with your finger. Or, press in on the thumb stick that is located on your remote  
control. Practice using the remote control unit to improve your accuracy when activating commands. See  
page 4 to learn how to use it.  
Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the routing  
features of the StreetPilot by practicing creating  
routes in simulator mode.  
Simulator mode only works when the GPS naviga-  
tion is turned off. To do this, press the MENU key  
on the StreetPilot. When the Menu page appears,  
select the ‘Use Indoors’ icon. GPS will be turned  
off. Now, when you create a route, the unit asks if  
you want to simulate driving the route. Select Yes,  
and the StreetPilot gives driving instructions for the  
entire route.  
OPERATE YOUR STREETPILOT IN “SAFE MODE” WHILE DRIVING  
Your StreetPilot is equipped with a ‘Safe Mode’  
feature to improve driver safety. By default, this fea-  
ture is enabled, but it can be turned off to allow a  
passenger to operate the unit. When your vehicle is  
moving, Safe Mode disables certain StreetPilot func-  
tions which require significant operator attention  
and may become a distraction to use while driving.  
NOTE: If you have previously registered a Garmin product purchase, we invite you to re-  
register using our online system. Many services provided by our new product registration  
system are now being automated and re-registering your purchase ensures you the best  
possible support from Garmin.

Caring for your StreetPilot  
Introduction  
Cleaning the Case and Remote Control  
The StreetPilot 2620/2660 case and remote are constructed of high quality materials and do not require  
user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the units outer casing (except for the touchscreen) using a  
cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents  
that may damage plastic components.  
Maintenance  
Cleaning the Touchscreen  
The StreetPilot 2620/2660 touchscreen is intended primarily for finger operation. Although a PDA  
stylus may also be used to operate touchscreen, never attempt this while operating a vehicle. Never use a  
hard or sharp object to operate the touchscreen or damage may result. The touchscreen should be cleaned  
using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner can be used if needed. If  
these are used, apply the liquid to the cloth and then gently wipe the touchscreen with the moistened cloth.  
Storage  
Do not store the StreetPilot 2620/2660 where prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may occur  
(such as in the trunk of a car) as permanent damage may result.  
Storing alkaline batteries in the remote control for extended periods is not recommended. In order to  
reduce the chance for battery leakage in the battery compartment, remove the batteries when storing the  
remote control for more than six months.  
Caring for the Pre-Programmed Hard Drive  
Your StreetPilot 2620/2660 comes with an internal pre-programmed hard drive. As with any hard drive,  
excessive shock and vibration may cause permanent damage. To minimize the risk of damage to your hard  
drive, avoid dropping your unit or operating it in high shock/vibration environments.

Learning how to use the Map Page  
Reference  
The Map page is your StreetPilots main operating page. This page is the first image you see after the  
startup screens, and its what you view as you navigate to a destination. Many features make up the Map  
page. Whether you’re navigating a route or simply driving with your StreetPilot turned on, you will see  
a map that displays your current location as well as surrounding street detail. Additionally, depending  
on your current driving mode, tabs that appear on the Map page will provide such information as your  
current speed, your driving direction, and names of upcoming streets. You can look beyond your current  
position by “panning,” or moving around the Map page. You can also zoom into locations to view greater  
street detail or you can zoom out to see whats ahead on your route.  
Using the Map Page  
USING YOUR STREETPILOT INDOORS  
Your StreetPilot unit cannot  
acquire satellites from inside a  
)
building. Thus, you may want to  
consider setting your unit to ‘Use  
Indoor’ status. To do this, press  
the MENU key on your  
unit. You will see a Menu  
page that includes a

Using the Map Page Features  
Reference  
The Map page comes with many useful features that can help you as you view cities or places, and as  
you navigate routes. If you are a new StreetPilot owner, practice using these features while your vehicle is  
stationary.  
Using the Remote or the  
Touchscreen  
Map Tools Bar  
The StreetPilot comes with a “map tools” bar, which is a series of icons on the left-hand side of the Map

An alternative to using the touchscreen for zooming in  
and out of an area on the Map page is to use the IN and

control. An alternative to “panning,” or touching the map  
with your finger and moving the map, is to use the thumb  
stick on your remote control.  
The white arrow at the top of the map tools bar allows you to toggle between activating and hiding the  
map tools bar. The zoom icons feature a “+” magnifying glass that allows you to zoom in to an area on your  
Map page, and a “-” magnifying glass that lets you zoom out of an area. The panning hand allows you to  
move around the Map page by touching the screen (touchscreen) with your finger; this action is called “pan-  
ning.” Panning allows you to “move” the viewing area on the Map page in order to view areas beyond the

tion for a specific location or object if any is available. The black triangle, or “vehicle icon,” shows  
your current physical location on the Map page. While in panning mode, the data tabs on the right  
of the screen are hidden.  
Reference  
‘North Up’ versus ‘Track Up’  
In addition to zooming in to or out of the Map page, you can also define a particular area to  
enlarge on the Map page by drawing a “box” on the touchscreen, then lifting your finger from the  
screen. Before you can do this, make certain the boxed magnifying glass icon is showing at the  
bottom of the map tools bar, as shown in the diagram below. If the map tools bar displays a hand,  
simply touch the hand and the boxed magnifying glass icon will appear.  
The presence of the  
arrow shown at

Map Scale  
Using the Map Scale  
A map scale appears on the lower left of the Map page.  
It shows you the current zoom level showing on the Map  
page (such as 500 miles, .8 miles, or 200 feet) as well as  
what map your StreetPilot is using to create the current  
image. Your StreetPilot includes a “base map” and a “detail  
map.” The base map provides only general information such

of 800 feet, your StreetPilot will display information from  
its base map. The map scale will switch from “base map” to  
“detail map” as you continue to zoom in to Denver.  
If you continue to zoom in to Denver or any city,  
“overzoom” will appear on the map scale. Displaying at  
detail map of Denver at 800-foot zoom  
around 500 - 300 feet, “overzoom” indicates that the cur-  
rent scale exceeds the optimum resolution of available map  
detail. Some detail, such as roads, are drawn using widely-  
spaced points and the actual layout of these details may  
differ from the map presentation.

Information Icon “i”  
Reference  
As was discussed earlier in this section, you can pan across the Map page by using the touchscreen  
with your finger or by using your remote control. As you pan, the map pointer appears. It serves as a target  
marker for the map. If you change the scale, the map is redrawn with the pointer at the center. When the  
pointer is placed on a map object, the name of that object is highlighted and an “i” (Information) icon  
appears in the upper right corner.  
Information Icon  
When the “i” icon appears, touch it and informa-  
tion about the object or location to which your are  
pointing will appear.  
The Map page shows the panning arrow (circled)  
which is highlighting a point of interest.  
When multiple Points of Interest appear at one point  
(shown above) a selection list will display (shown  
below).  
In the example above, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis has been  
highlighted. Touch the “i” icon, and the information page at right  
appears. The page displays information about the Gateway Arch as  
well as feature options.

StreetPilot will create a route to the Arch. (See Creating your own Routes, page 28,  
for more information on creating routes)  
Reference  
Using the Mini Keyboard  
Waypoints  
As was discussed on the previous page, an “i” icon appears as the Map pointer hovers over an existing  
map object such as a business, park, lake, church, or other point of interest. When the Map pointer points  
to an area where no map data exists, a flag icon appears in the upper right side of the Map page:  
When the map pointer is not placed on an object, a flag  
icon appears in the upper right-hand corner. Touch the icon  
to create a new waypoint. You can also create a route to it.  
The mini keyboard shown above appears when  
you wish to change the name of the waypoint as  
discussed in this section. Touch the letters to spell  
out a name. To use numbers, touch the 0-9 tab and  
numbers will appear. The Space, <, >, and Delete keys  
use standard word processing functions. When you  
have entered all text, touch OK.  
If you decide that this is an area you want to remember (perhaps it is a particular location on a lake or  
in a National Park), you can mark this area by creating a waypoint for it. Touch the flag icon and a New  
Map Waypoint will appear, as shown below. The coordinates for the marked area are displayed. A random  
number also appears. If you wish to name it something else, touch the current name (011) and a mini  
keyboard page will appear, allowing you to type in a new name. You can also touch the icon to the left of  
the name to change the icon.  
The mini keyboard is used in a variety of places  
with your StreetPilot. Its appearance may alter,  
depending on your purpose for using it. On some  
mini keyboards, letters or numbers that are not  
needed will not appear on your keyboard.  
Touch the blue dot icon to reveal a scrol-  
lable list of colorful icons to use to mark  
your waypoint.

Map Pages in Driving and Routing Mode  
While driving, you will see one of two types of Map pages: a Map page in “driving” mode, which  
appears when you have the StreetPilot turned on but you are not navigating a route, and a Map page in  
“routing” mode, which appears when you have created a route and are currently navigating to it.  
Viewing the Map Page  
In driving mode, the Map page shows map details, the map scale, and your current location. Customiz-  
able data tabs are pre-set to show your speed, current direction of travel, address of your current position,  
and the name of the next road ahead.  
Your current speed  
Map Orientation  
Current driving direction  
Your Current Position  
Map page in driving mode  
Street address at your current location

The next road ahead  
In routing mode, the Map page displays more information. It graphically shows you map details and  
your current location, and it marks your route to a destination with a magenta-colored route line. It tells  
you what direction to go as well as the direction in which you are traveling. Customizable data tabs are  
pre-set to display information such as your speed, the distance you have traveled, distance to the next  
turn, time remaining before reaching the next turn, and more.  
Map page in routing mode  
Although the information varies slightly between a  
Map page in driving mode and one in routing mode,  
you can use the features discussed in this section for  
both Map page types. Note that the Next Turn page  
and Current Route pages only appear when you are in  
routing mode.

Both types of Map pages display a vehicle icon which indicates your present position and direction of  
movement as a triangular icon in the center of the map. Depending upon your map scale setting, you can  
see a variety of geographic detail such as lakes, rivers, highways, and towns.  
Reference  
If you would like to see more detail at your current driving position, or if you would like to see a  
broader view of the area, you can change the Map scale to zoom in to or out of your current position as  
the Map page continues to follow the vehicle icon. Simply touch the map scale and the map tools bar will  
appear. Use the zoom icons (+ or - magnifying glasses) to select your new detail level. To return to the pre-  
vious page, simply touch the white arrow at the top of the map tools bar. Note that you can use this feature  
whether you are in driving or in routing mode.  
Viewing the Map Page  
For maximum map display, hide some or all of the data  
tabs. Simply touch the tab to make it disappear.  
Touch the map scale to activate the map tools  
bar and hide the data tabs.  
Use the zoom icons to view a new level of detail. Touch  
the arrow to return to the Map page in routing mode.  
In the example above, your current driving position always appears on the Map page. Another  
StreetPilot feature allows you to “look ahead” on the Map page so that you can view areas beyond your  
current position, but without interrupting the function of the Map page. Simply touch any area on the Map  
page EXCEPT for the map scale. As in the example above, the map tools bar will appear. The differences are  
that the map pointer will also appear on the Map page, and the Map page itself will stay stationary until you  
move (pan) the Map page. The vehicle icon will continue to move along your route, but you will be able to  
move beyond your current position as you pan.  
As shown above, the Map page viewing area is  
greater with the data tabs hidden. Touch the tab  
placeholders to show the tabs again.  
See page 42 for more information on hiding/  
showing data tabs.

Next Turn Page  
Touch anywhere on the Map page (except the map  
scale) to activate the map tools bar and map pointer,  
and hide the data tabs.  
Touch the arrow to return to the previous Map page.  
Use this feature whether you are simply driving with your StreetPilot turned on (driving Map page) or  
navigating a route (routing Map page). To return to the Map page with the original navigation so that you  
can see the vehicle icon, touch the arrow in the top left corner.  
Your StreetPilot safely navigates you through roundabouts,  
interstate traffic, and all other types of road navigation.  
Next Turn Page  
The NEXT TURN page announces the same instructions  
for an upcoming turn 3 times:  
As you are driving during an active route, the Map page continues to display in routing mode until  
your StreetPilot alerts you that you are near a turn. When this happens, a Next Turn page appears. It pro-  
vides a graphic visual and gives text instructions, as shown below:  
· Immediately after you make a turn, the Next Turn  
page announces the next upcoming turn, as well as  
the distance to that turn. Thus, if the next turn is not  
for 20 miles, you do not need to worry about naviga-  
tion instructions for quite a while.  
· As you are close to approaching the upcoming turn,  
the Next Turn page appears again. This message is  
announced in order to alert you to change lanes if  
necessary and start looking for signs in anticipation  
of the upcoming turn.  
Route Line  
An upcoming turn is placed here. This screen dis-  
appears after a few seconds. If you need to see it  
again, simply press SPEAK and it will reappear.  
Shows how many miles until you reach the  
upcoming turn.  
· Just before the upcoming turn, the Next Turn page  
appears one last time for that particular turn. You  
should be in view of the turn.  
Shows the approximate time left until you reach  
the upcoming turn.

An added bonus to the Next Turn feature is that the StreetPilot “voice” announces upcoming turns.  
Thus, if you cannot safely view the Next Turn page, you can hear the directions.  
Reference  
The Next Turn page above disappears after a few seconds and then the page which you were previ-  
ously viewing will reappear. If you wish to clear the Next Turn page and return to the previous page, press  
PAGE (you can also press QUIT on the remote). If you wish to see the Next Turn page again, simply press  
SPEAK and it will reappear. You will also be able to hear the announcement.  
Current Route Page  
When you are not navigating a route, the Next Turn page is no longer available.  
Current Route Page  
Still another bonus while navigating a route is the Current Route page, which provides step-by-step  
route instructions, all on one page. Simply press PAGE from your StreetPilot (or from the remote control)  
and the Current Route page appears:  
The Current Route page keeps a log of your entire  
route. It keeps the directions even when you have  
completed the turn.  
Scroll bar  
The bottom number gives the approximate time that you should  
reach the next turn.  
When you are not navigating a route, the Current  
Route page is no longer available.  
The top number shows how much time (in minutes or in hours) until  
the next turn.  
The text column explains the upcoming driving instructions.  
The numbered column shows how many miles until the next turn.  
Direction of turn  
The Current Route page keeps a log of your entire route. Thus, you can look beyond the next turn and  
even get an estimated idea of what time you will reach an upcoming turn provided you don’t make stops  
along the way.  
You can scroll through the entire list by moving the scroll bar up or down. Highlight and touch any of  
the turns on the list to view the Next Turn page for that turn.

Trip Information Page  
Reference  
While navigating a route, you can access yet another page, the Trip Information page. If you are making  
a long trip, you may find the Trip Information page to be very useful. It indicates your current speed and  
many helpful statistics about your trip.  
Trip Information Page  
Be certain to reset the Trip Computer before beginning a trip (see next page). If you make frequent  
stops, leave the StreetPilot powered on in order to receive satellites. This allows the unit to accurately  
measure elapsed time during the trip. Note, however, that this might be impossible since some vehicles  
disconnect power to the cigarette lighter when the ignition is turned off.  
The following trip information is displayed on the Trip Information page:  
Time of Day  
Compass Ribbon  
Speed This is the current vehicle speed, displayed in miles or kilometers per hour.  
Odometer A running total of distance traveled, based upon the distance between second-by-second loca-  
tion readings, since the Trip Computer was last reset.  
Mileage Log Allows you to use up to four different mileage odometers for recording trip distances. You  
can also rename each mileage log (see next page).  
Driving Avg Your average speed of travel during the time the vehicle has been in motion since the Trip  
Computer was last reset.  
Overall Avg Your average speed of travel (including time stopped) during the time the StreetPilot has  
been tracking your location since, the Trip Computer was last reset.  
Max Speed The maximum speed recorded since the Trip Computer was last reset. Max Speed can also be  
reset individually without resetting other Trip Computer information.

Driving with Dead Reckoning (2660 Only)  
The StreetPilot 2660 comes with dead reckoning capabilities, which means that you continue to get  
navigation guidance even if you lose GPS reception, such as when you are travelling in dense urban envi-  
ronments with tall buildings and tunnels.  
Reference  
Driving with Dead Reckoning  
To achieve dead reckoning, the 2660 utilizes an internal angular rate sensor, an external speed sensor  
input, and an external reverse light sensor input. A special dead reckoning cable is connected to your  
vehicles speedometer and backup lights (it must be professionally installed by an authorized Garmin  
installer). Thus, when you lose GPS reception, your StreetPilot can acknowledge your turns as well as your  
distance travelled while you are driving. In this way, it can continue to accurately give navigation guidance  
until your GPS reception returns. Driving with dead reckoning capabilities is so seamless, you will not  
even know that you do not have GPS reception.  
You can simply unplug the dead reckoning cable from the vehicle adapter if you want to use the  
StreetPilot 2660 in another vehicle. It will navigate the same way as the StreetPilot 2620.  
The only way you can tell that your StreetPilot is using  
Dead Reckoning is to view the GPS Information page.  
See page 56 for more information on GPS.

Finding Places  
Reference  
Use the FIND feature on your StreetPilot unit (or remote) to take the guess work out of locating a city  
street, restaurant, or hotel. You can even use FIND to see what rest areas are approaching as you near an  
exit on the Interstate.  
Finding Places  
scroll bar  
Finding a City  
Select the Cities icon from the Find menu. A list of cities will appear, as well as each citys direction and  
distance from your current position as indicated by the Near Here tab. Use the scroll bar on the right side of  
the page to view the entire list of cities. The Near Here tab lists cities that are closest to your current physi-  
cal location or, if you have panned to an area away from your current location, to your map pointer.  
You can find cities in many ways. Touch the down arrow (ź) on the Near Here tab and you will see a  
variety of options. (Note that these options appear depending upon whether you are currently navigating a  
route or panning your Map page).  
Access this menu by selecting FIND on your  
StreetPilot unit or remote. Use the scroll bar to see  
the third line of options, which are not shown above.  
By Name: Use By Name if you want to spell out the name of the city you seek; use the mini keyboard  
that appears when you select By Name. Note that when you use By Name, all city names that are loaded  
in your mapping software will be searched. For example, if you are searching for Greensboro, N.C., your  
search (using By Name) will return a list of all Greensboros in the U.S.  
‘Near Here’ tab  
Near Other: Use Near Other to find a city that is not in your immediate location. For example, of you are  
physically in Kansas and you want to find a city in Colorado, select Near Other and a map of the U.S. will  
appear. Touch an area in Colorado that is close to the city you wish to identity, and then touch the check  
mark that appears in the upper right-hand corner of your Map page. A new list of cities in Colorado  
will appear. (Note that when the list of cities appears, the tab will change from Near Other to Near Map  
Pointer. This is because the StreetPilot is searching for cities that are located near the current position of  
your map pointer, not your current physical location.)  
In this example, nearest cities are listed in order  
according to their respective mileage from your pres-  
ent position.  
If your search returns a large list of cities, you can narrow the search by touching the Filter tab. For  
example, if you are looking for Fort Collins, Colorado, type “Fort” on the Filter page and touch OK. The  
19

list will include names like Fort Morgan and Fort Collins, Colorado, but it will also include names like  
Glen Comfort. The more letters you enter in the Filter page, the fewer the amount of names that will be  
returned.  
Reference  
Advanced feature: As a alternative to panning and then touching an area in Colorado when using By  
Other, you can enter the coordinates of a specific area if you know them. Press the MENU key and then  
select the Enter As Text icon. Then, enter your coordinates.  
Finding Places  
Near Map Pointer: Use Near Map Pointer to find cities that are near the area to which you have placed  
the map pointer while panning.  
Near [Destination]: Use Near [Destination] if you are currently navigating a route and you want to view  
a list of cities that are near your destination. For example, if you are currently navigating a route from  
Denver to Salt Lake City (Near Salt Lake City), your StreetPilot will return a list of all cities near Salt Lake  
City.  
Once you find the city you seek, touch the name and an information page will appear. Touch the green  
flag on the lower left-hand side of the page if you want to mark the city as a waypoint, or Show Map if you  
want to see the city on the Map page (see page 10 for an example), or Go To if you want your StreetPilot to  
navigate to this city.

Finding an Address or Intersection  
Reference  
Touch the Addresses or Intersections icon from the Find menu. In both cases, a page appears that allows  
you to enter pertinent street information  
To enter the number or street name, touch the black text field that appears to the right of the Number  
and Street fields. A mini keyboard will appear; touch the pertinent numbers/letters to complete the street  
names.  
Finding Places  
Touch the text  
fields to enter  
data. Then,  
select Find to  
reveal a Select  
Address list.  
The StreetPilot initially limits its searches to addresses or intersections within the state/province in  
which you are currently physically located, or where the map pointer is located if you have panned to an  
area away from your current location. Thus, to narrow your search, particularly if you are trying to locate a  
street or intersection in another city or state/province, touch the Limit to box and select one of the Limit To  
options: No Limit, Enter a City, Enter a State/Province, or Enter a Postal Code. Try to narrow your search as  
much as possible to return fewer results. Entering the city name or zip code will significantly narrow your  
list.  
To narrow the  
list, press MENU  
while on the  
Find Address  
page and then  
select the Refine  
Street icon.  
When you enter street names, do not enter directional words such as “West” or types of streets such as  
“Avenue” or “Parkway.” For example, if you are looking for “E. 205 Elm Ave,” enter “205” in the Number  
field and “Elm” in the Street field. Then press Find. A list of possible matches will appear on a Select Address  
page. Touch the address you are seeking, and it will appear on an Address page.  
Touch the green flag on the lower left-hand side of the Address page if you want to mark the location as  
a waypoint, or Show Map if you want to see the address/intersection on the Map page (see page 10 for an  
example), or Go To if you want your StreetPilot to navigate to the address/intersection.  
Note: If your search returns a large list of possible matches, narrow the list by adding directional words  
and types of streets (“West,” “Ave”) via the Refine Street feature. From the Find Address page, press the  
StreetPilots MENU key. A Menu page will appear. Select the Refine Street icon. Add the additional informa-  
tion. Select OK, and all information will appear on the Find Address (or Find Intersection) page. Select Find,  
and the address or intersection you are seeking will appear on an information page.

Finding Interesting Places to Eat, Sleep, Shop, and Visit  
Reference  
A fun feature of your StreetPilot is being able to locate interesting and exciting places all over the U.S.  
without having to ask for directions to get there. If you are new to a town and you need to find a bank or  
car wash, touch the Services icon from the Find menu. If you are driving through town on vacation and you  
want to stop and eat, touch the Food & Drink icon. If you are planning a camping trip in North Carolina  
and want to find campgrounds that are nearest to the Outer Banks, touch the Lodging icon.  
Finding Places  
You can use the following icons (options) when you want to search for businesses, parks, and other  
points of interest: Food & Drink, Lodging, Services, Entertainment, Attractions, Shopping, Transportation,  
and Emergency & Government. All of these options are subgroups of the All Points of Interest option, which  
returns the largest list of places. Your StreetPilot searches for places the same way for all options listed  
above.  
Assume, for example, that you are currently navigating a route from Kansas City to St. Louis. As you are  
driving along the Interstate, you decide that you want to look for a place to eat along the route. To do this,  
press the units FIND key, and then select the Food & Drink icon from the Find menu. A list of places to eat  
that are along your entire route from Kansas City to St. Louis (and within a 1/2 mile corridor width of any  
point on your route) will appear under the Near Current Route tab. The list displays places that are located  
ahead of or a short distance behind you. This is useful information if you are in a part of the country where  
eating places are sparse; you can see how many miles away the nearest restaurant is on your route. You  
may have to backtrack if you discover that you just passed the nearest restaurant for many miles. Or, you  
can view the list to see if your favorite restaurant happens to be located on or near your route, and how far  
away it is. To reduce the number of results, use the Filter tab to type in the entire name or part of the name  
of the restaurant.  
While navigating a route, select Food & Drink from  
the Find menu to view a list of eating places near your  
current position. The Near Current Route tab will display  
places that are located along your entire route.  
To adjust how  
far off-route your  
StreetPilot will  
search, press the  
unit’s MENU key  
and select Search  
Within.  
If your search does not reveal very many restaurants because you are in a sparsely-populated area,  
consider widening the search area (corridor width) along your route. From the list of places that appeared  
under the Near Current Route tab, press the units MENU key. From the Menu page that appears, select the  
Search Within icon. You can then elect to expand your search for restaurants that are up to 1, 2, 5, or 15  
miles along your current route. A new list will appear.

In addition to the Near Current Route tab, here are additional tab options for finding places:  
Reference  
Near Here: Whereas Near Current Route lists places along your entire route, Near Here finds places that  
are near your current physical location.  
Finding Places  
Near [Destination]: Use Near [Destination] to find places that are located at the end of your route. Thus,  
if you are travelling to Phoenix, the Near Phoenix tab will return places that are only within the vicinity of  
Phoenix.  
Near Map Pointer: Use Near Map Pointer to find places that are near the area to which you have placed  
the map pointer while panning.  
By Name: Use By Name to spell out the name of the place you seek; use the mini keyboard that appears  
when you select By Name. Note that when you use By Name, all places that are loaded in your mapping  
software will be searched. For example, if you are searching for McDonald’s, your search will return a list  
of all McDonald’s in the U.S.  
Once you locate the exit of your choice, select it to  
display an information page for that item.  
Near Other: Use Near Other to find a place that is not in your immediate location. See the discussion on  
using Near Other in the Finding a City topic in this section of the manual.  
When you find the name of the restaurant or other place you seek (no matter which search method you  
used), touch the name of the restaurant and its address and telephone number will appear. Touch the green  
flag in the lower left-hand side of the screen if you want to mark the eatery as a waypoint, or Show Map if  
you want to see it on the Map page (see page 10 for an example), or Go To if you want your StreetPilot to  
navigate to the restaurant.  
This particular exit indicates that many services exist.  
Touch the icon to view information about a service.  
Finding an Exit  
Select Exits from the Find menu to locate exits on highways, freeways, and interstates throughout the  
U.S. This is useful information if you are travelling and need to stop at an exit with a service station or  
when you need to find the nearest rest area. When you initially select Exits, your StreetPilot lists all exits on  
the highway or interstate that are closest to your current location. If you are driving on Interstate 40 near  
Albuquerque, for example, your StreetPilot will list all upcoming exits on I-40. Use the scroll bar on the  
Change the highway or interstate by selecting the  
‘On I-35’ tab and selecting Change Highway.

Reference  
You can narrow the number of exits by touching the down arrow (ź) on the All Exits tab to view only a  
list of Exits with Services, Rest Areas, or Other Exits such as weigh stations and Welcome centers. If you want  
to see what exits are available on upcoming highways or intersections, touch the down arrow (ź) on the  
On [Current Interstate/Hwy] tab and touch Change Highway. You can then spell out the name of the interstate  
or highway you seek on the mini keyboard.  
Finding Places  
Touch the name of the exit you wish to view and a list of places that are located at this exit will appear.  
Touch the green flag on the lower left-hand side of the page if you want to mark the location as a waypoint,

Waypoints that you have created and stored in the StreetPilot can be found by touching the Waypoints  
icon from the Find menu. (See page 11 for more information on creating waypoints.) Here are the possible  
tab options that might appear:  
Near Here: Use Near Here to find waypoints that are near your current physical location.  
Near [Destination]: Use Near [Destination] to find waypoints that are located at the end of your route  
if you are in “routing” mode. Thus, if you are travelling to Phoenix, the Near Phoenix tab will return  
waypoints you have created that are within the vicinity of Phoenix.  
Near Map Pointer: Use Near Map Pointer to find waypoints that are near the area to which you have  
placed the map pointer while panning.  
By Name: Use By Name if you want to spell out the name of the waypoint you seek; use the mini key-  
board that appears when you select By Name. Note that when you use By Name, all waypoints you have  
created will be searched.  
Near Other: Use Near Other to find a waypoint that is not in your immediate location. See the discussion  
on using Near Other in the Finding a City topic in this section of the manual.

Finding Places  
USING THE “SHOW MAP” FEATURE  
Advanced Find Features  
Main Map Feature: As was discussed above, you can view a selected location (an eatery, a hotel,  
waypoint, or city, for example) on the Map page when you select Show Map. The Map page will include  
additional information such as current coordinates, current location name, and miles from your current  
position (see the examples in the right-hand column on this page). If you would like to see the location on  
a cleaner Map page, press the units MENU key and then select the Locate on Main Map icon. All extraneous  
information will disappear.  
The type of view shown above appears when you select  
Show Map for any feature/location you find. On the left  
side of the top bar, the name of the found feature (“US  
Post Office”) is displayed. It is 8.9 miles and 30º from  
your current physical location. The right side of the top  
bar displays the Post Office’s coordinates.  
Measuring Distance to a Place: When you select Show Map to view a place, city, and street you have  
found on the Map page, you can also perform a straight-line measurement of that place to see the distance  
from it to your current position or any other location. To view this measuring tool, press the units MENU  
key and then select the Measure Distance icon. A new Map page will appear, showing the place, city, or  
street, with a line pointing back to your current physical location. See Measuring Distances Between Two  
Places, page 36, for more information.  
To view a cleaner display, press the unit MENU key and  
select the Locate on Main Map icon. A view much like  
the one shown below will appear.  
Once you select a location through the Find feature,  
select Show Map to display this new location on the  
Map page. To activate the “measuring tool,” press the  
MENU key and then select the Measure Distance icon.  
You can then take straight-line measurements from the  
new location to your current location or other places  
you select. See page 36 for more information on using  
the measuring tool.

Planning a Trip  
Reference  
As you have discovered while reading this section, you can search for places by using a variety of “find”  
methods. If you are planning a trip and would like to find lodging, restaurants, and interesting places ahead  
of time, consider using the “chain find” method below. (Note: Follow these instructions while you are in a  
stationary position and are not in “routing” mode.)  
Finding Places  
1. Find the city which you plan to visit. See ‘Finding a City’ in this section of this manual for more instructions if necessary. Touch  
the name of the city so that the information about it will appear. In our example, Fraser, CO is chosen.  
2. While still on the information page for Fraser, press your StreetPilot’s FIND  
key and select the Lodging icon to look for a place to stay in Fraser. Your  
StreetPilot will return the names of places to lodge. Touch the name of your  
desired lodging place to view the information page about it and so that the  
lodge will be saved in your Recent Finds list. In our example, Angelmark Bed  
Fraser, CO information page  
Lodging in Fraser  
and Breakfast is the lodging place.  
3. From the information page for Angelmark Bed and Breakfast, press the FIND  
key and select the Food & Drink icon. A list of all eating establishments near  
Angelmark Bed and Breakfast will display. Touch the name of your desired  
eating place to view the information page about it and so that the restaurant  
will be saved in your Recent Finds list.  
You can also find entertainment, services, and a host of other places  
near your chosen lodging area in the city of your choice. When you are  
ready to take your trip, simply find these places in your Recent Finds  
list, discussed on the next page.

Finding “Recently-Found” Places  
Reference  
Your StreetPilot keeps track of the places you find and stores the 30 most recent finds in its memory.  
Thus, if you want to create a route to a place you have recently found, touch Recent Finds from the Find  
menu. Or, press down and hold the FIND key on your StreetPilot or remote control.  
Finding “Recently-Found” Places  
Your 30 most recent finds will appear. The most recently-reviewed item will be at the top of each list.  
If you cannot find your sought-after place quickly, touch the All tab and narrow your search by selecting  
Points of Interest, Addresses & Intersections, or Other. If necessary, scroll down the new list to find your place.  
Note that the StreetPilot only stores places that you actually view. Lets say, for example, that you do  
a search for restaurants and five names appear. If you view information on two of them, then these two  
restaurants will be stored in your Recent Finds list.  
Deleting “Recently-Found” Places  
Recent finds above display the places we found  
in the Planning a Trip tutorial on the previous  
page.  
If you wish to delete a place from the Recent Finds list, simply  
touch the places name and an information page for that place will  
appear. Then, touch Delete, as shown at right.  
Note: Deleting information from the Recent  
Finds list merely removes the city name, address,  
restaurant, or waypoint from this list. It does not  
delete the actual city from your detail map nor  
does it remove waypoints you created.  
Alternatively, while you are on the Recent Finds list page, press  
MENU from your StreetPilot or remote to reveal a new Menu  
page, shown below. From this menu, you can delete the current  
highlighted recent find, or you can delete the entire list that  
includes this recent find. You can also completely delete all recent finds.

Creating your own Routes  
Use the ROUTE feature on your StreetPilot unit to create vacation routes, routes to a job interview or  
garage sale, or anywhere! Once you create and save the route, you can retrieve it when you need it and you  
won’t have to stop to ask for directions or consult a map.  
Reference  
Creating Routes  
NOTE: Creating and/or changing routes while driving is dangerous and is not encouraged.  
Consider creating and running routes in “simulated mode.” Set your StreetPilot to indoor  
use by pressing MENU on the unit and selecting the ‘Use Indoors’ icon. This will turn off  
GPS capability and allow you to run your routes in simulated mode. To further ensure safety,  
consider creating and saving routes before you travel. See Saving a Route in this section  
of the manual.

Creating Routes  
Creating your First Route  
Creating routes are fast and easy once you become familiar with and understand the various steps and  
options.  
To start a new Route:  
1. From the ‘Route Menu,’ select ‘New.’ A ‘Start Point’ window appears.  
2. From the ‘Start Point’ window, select one of the three options: Current Location, Use Map, or Find.  
3. Once you select an option, the ‘Start Point’ window disappears and an ‘End Point’ window appears.  
Note that the same options mentioned in Step 2 appear here. Select the appropriate option.  
From the Route Menu, select New. A Start Point window  
shown above will appear. Pick your start point and the  
End Point window (inset) will appear.  
4. The ‘End Point’ window disappears and a ‘Route Preference’ window appears. Select one of the three  
options: Faster Time, Shorter Distance, or Off Road.  
5. A thumbnail route map appears in the lower left-hand corner of the  
Map page as the unit calculates the route, as shown on the diagram at  
right. A voice prompt sounds and a magenta route line appears. The  
unit is now ready to navigate the new route.  
Thumbnail route map  
Current Location, Use Map, and Find  
Your StreetPilot attempts to help you find your starting and ending  
points for creating routes as quickly and as easily as possible. Thus, it allows you three options for building  
your route:  
Once you select a Start Point and End Point, pick your  
Route Preference, as shown above.  
Current Location — Choose this option if you want the route to begin (or end) at your current physical  
location (you are at work, home, at an out-of-town conference, for example).  
29  
Use Map — Choose this option if you want to find your location by panning on the Map page. When the  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Map page appears, move around it until you find your destination point. Then, tap the check mark thats  
located at the top right-hand corner of the Map page.  
Reference  
Find — Choose this option if you want to find a known place such as a restaurant, hotel, waypoint, or  
an address. Use the Find option in the same way that it is discussed in the last section, Finding Places by  
Using the FIND Menu.  
Creating Routes  
Route Preference Window  
Once you mark your start and end points for a route, you can decide how you want the route to be  
calculated: by using the fastest time, by taking the shortest distance, or by travelling off route.  
Faster Time — Choose this option if you want your StreetPilot to use time as the criteria for calculating  
your route. This means that the driving time will be shorter but the distance might be longer.  
Shorter Distance — Choose this option if you want your StreetPilot to use distance as the criteria for  
calculating your route. This means that the distance might be shorter but you may have to drive longer.  
The appearance of the Route menu depends on if you  
are currently navigating a route (top) or if you have  
recently completed a route (bottom).  
Off Road — Choose this option to view a direct-line route to your destination. This option does not  
provide a turn-by-turn route. It merely displays a straight line from your end point to your start point; the  
voice guidance tells you the direction and distance to your destination. Use this option if you are travelling  
where obscure roads (or no roads) might be.  
As soon as your route is created, your StreetPilot begins to navigate the route. If at any  
time you wish to STOP a route, select Stop Route from the Route menu. To RESUME the  
route, select Resume Route.  
Setting a HOME Waypoint  
Your StreetPilot includes a special feature that allows you to set a HOME waypoint that can be your  
home, office, or any other place to which you return most often. Once set, you can opt to go “HOME.” For  
example, if you are driving in a new city or down an unknown street and you want to easily find your way  
home, simply press your StreetPilots FIND key two times. A window asking you to verify that you want to

Reference  
To set a HOME Waypoint:  
1. Press down and hold the MENU key from your StreetPilot or remote control. A ‘Route Menu’ page  
appears. (As an alternative, simply press your StreetPilot’s FIND key two times. Then, go to Step 3 below.)  
Creating Routes  
2. From the ‘Route Menu’ page, select ‘Set HOME Waypoint.’ A ‘Set HOME Waypoint’ page appears.  
3. Select one of the three options: Current Location, Use Map, and Find (these options are discussed on  
page 29).  
4. Once you select an option, find your location using this option. Touch ‘OK’ when you have found your  
location. A ‘New Waypoint’ page appears.  
5. From the ‘New Waypoint’ page, touch ‘OK.’ Your Home waypoint is set.  
Get to the Route Menu page shown above by  
pressing and holding down the MENU key from  
your StreetPilot. A Set Home Waypoint window will  
appear, as shown below.  
At your request, your StreetPilot will create a route for you to go to your HOME  
location while you are on the road. Simply press your StreetPilots FIND key two  
times. A window asking you to verify that you want to route home will appear.  
Select Yes, and your StreetPilot will then redirect you to your HOME location.  
Changing your HOME Waypoint  
If you travel frequently, you may want to change your HOME waypoint to the hotel at the confer-  
ence you are attending or to the relatives house at which you are vacationing. Then, as you explore the  
surrounding area, you can use the Route HOME feature to return you to your lodging place. To change  
your HOME waypoint, you must first delete the existing HOME waypoint. Do this by pressing FIND from  
your StreetPilot, and then selecting the Waypoints icon. Find and select your HOME waypoint. When the  
Waypoint Review page appears, touch Delete. Select Yes to confirm that you really want to delete your HOME  
waypoint. Create a new HOME waypoint by following instructions above.  
Once you find your location, the New Waypoint page  
shown below will appear. It includes the coordinates  
of your chosen HOME location. Touch OK to accept  
the location.

Saving a Route  
Reference  
Your StreetPilot always remembers the last route you created. Thus, you can save the route either during  
the navigation or after the route is complete. In either case, simply press and hold the MENU/ROUTE key  
on your StreetPilot or remote control to access the Route menu. The name of your current/completed route  
will appear at the top of the Route menu. Select the Save icon and a Route Saved page will appear. If necessary,  
change the name of the route to something more meaningful to you by touching the routes current name.  
Enter your new name by using the mini keyboard that will appear. Touch OK to save the route.  
Creating Routes  
Your StreetPilot can hold up to 50 saved routes. Thus, if you have saved routes prior to taking a trip, you  
only need to retrieve the appropriate route and activate it as you prepare to leave. To select a route from a list  
of saved routes, select Route List from the Route menu. A list of your saved routes will appear. Touch the name  
of your desired route. A new page will appear which gives you the opportunity to rename, delete, or activate  
the route. You can also advance to the next route or move back to your previous route on the route list.  
View your list of saved routes by selecting Route List  
from the Route Menu. Touch a route to highlight  
its information, as shown above. You can then  
rename, delete, or activate the route, as shown in  
the example below.  
Deleting or Renaming a Saved Route  
You can delete a single route or all of the saved routes that exist in your StreetPilot. You can also rename a  
saved route. To do this, select Route List from the Route Menu. A Route List page will appear.  
To delete or rename a single route, highlight the intended route from the Route List page. Information  
about that route will appear. Select Rename to personalize the route name (if necessary) by using the mini  
keyboard. Select Delete to remove the route from your Route List. Select Next to view information on the next  
route in your Route List. Select Activate to navigate this route.

Modifying a Route  
Creating Routes  
After you have practiced creating and saving simple routes, then you are ready to learn how to modify  
them to suit more specific needs.  
Recalculating a Route  
If you decide to temporarily part from your current route, you can select Recalculate from the  
Route menu to calculate a new route from your current location to your destination. The StreetPilot  
will recalculate and update your route.  
Select a distance from which to detour from your  
current route.  
Adding a Detour  
While you are navigating a route, you might come to a roadblock or other obstruction that will create a  
need for you to take a detour from your current route. If this happens, simply select the Detour icon from  
the Route menu. A Detour Distance window will appear. You can alter your route for either 1/2, 1, 2, 5,  
or 15 miles. If you are in New York City, for example, and you see that the next few blocks are unusually  
congested with traffic, you might want to opt for a 1/2-mile detour.  
Once you select a distance, your StreetPilot will calculate a new route and provide you with new  
instructions. Note that, on some routes, the route you are currently taking might be the only reasonable  
option. In this case, you will not be able to take a detour. Also, your StreetPilot makes every possible  
attempt to get you back on the original route at your requested distance; however, the distance may be  
longer if no other roads exist that can get you back to the original route.  
To cancel a detour, select Detour from the Route menu.  
Your StreetPilot remembers detours you set each time this route is calculated until you stop the current  
navigation or until you turn off the unit.

Adding Via Points  
Reference  
Via points are extra stops you’d like to make on your way to a final destination. You can add up to  
250 via points. When you have entered all of them, your StreetPilot can arrange them in the most efficient  
order (called auto arrange) so that you can visit each point without a lot of extra driving.  
Creating Routes  
Before you can add via points to a particular route, you must first activate that route. Remember, you  
don’t have to be in your vehicle to activate a route; you can activate it in your home or at the office. Also,  
you can add via points to a route that you have previously saved (which you can retrieve and activate from  
the Route List), or one that you have just created.  
Once the route is activated, follow the instructions below.  
To add a Via Point to the Active Route:  
1. Press and hold the unit or remote MENU key for two seconds to view the Active Route’ menu. Select  
You can add a via point in order to add an extra stop  
to your route. Select the Add/Edit Vias icon from the  
Active Route menu shown above. An Edit Vias page  
will appear (below) that lists your final destination.  
Add/Edit Vias.’ An ‘Edit Vias’ page appears. Note that your current destination appears on this page.  
2. Select Add Via Point.’ An Add Via Point’ page appears with two options for finding your location: ‘Use  
Map’ or ‘Find.’  
3. Select an option from the Add Via Point’ page. For more help on using these options, see Finding  
Places Using the FIND Menu in the previous section of this manual. When you have entered the  
desired location, an information page about this location appears.  
4. Select Add As Via’ on the information page. The new via point is added to the ‘Edit Vias’ page.  
5. Select ‘Done’ on the ‘Edit Vias’ page. Your original route is automatically recalculated to include the  
newly added via point. (Note: If you touch the X in the top right corner of the ‘Edit Vias’ page, your  
StreetPilot will remove the newly-created via point and continue to use the original route.)  
6. To add more via points, select Add Another’ from the ‘Edit Vias’ page and repeat steps 3-5 above.

Arranging Via Points  
Reference  
If you add more than one via point, you may want to arrange  
the order of the stops (or points) on the route to minimize route  
length. In the example at right, numerous stops have been added to  
a trip to the Kansas Speedway. The order is random because all via  
points have just been added. Note that the highlighted via point,  
Olathe J, is fourth on the list.  
Creating Routes  
If you have a definite order for the places you would like to  
visit, you can arrange the order by highlighting a via point and  
moving it up or down by using the up/down arrows on the Edit  
Vias page. Thus, if you wish to make Olathe J second on your  
route, move it accordingly, as shown at right. Note that you can  
also change the final destination (Kansas Speedway) by manually  
moving a via point into the final position that displays the blue  
checkered flag.  
Once you find the location that you would like to add  
(by using Use Map or Find), select the location, and  
information about it will appear. Select Add As Via, and  
the location will appear as a via point, shown below.  
To create a route through all via points that is optimized for  
distance, simply select Auto Arrange from the Edit Vias page (as  
shown at right). .A window appears that asks if you also want your  
destination point to be reordered. Answer Yes, and the unit arranges  
all of your stops, including the destination point. Answer No, and the unit arranges all of your stops  
EXCEPT the destination point.  
Deleting Via Points  
When you opt to have the StreetPilot auto arrange your  
via points, a window will appear that will ask you if  
you want your destination point to be reordered. If you  
answer yes, your destination point will be reordered, but  
only if doing so creates the shortest route.  
If you decide that you no longer want to visit one of your via points,  
simply touch that point to reveal information about the selected via  
point. Select Remove and then select Yes to verify, and the via point will be  
removed from your route.

Customizing your StreetPilot 2620/2660  
If you’ve experimented with creating routes and finding places using your StreetPilot, you may feel  
you’re ready to customize it to suit your navigational needs. Take a moment to look at the options in this  
section and decide which features you’d like to customize.  
Reference  
Adjusting Backlight/Contrast  
Adjusting the Backlight and Contrast  
The StreetPilot touchscreen display and keys are illuminated for operation at night or in bright  
sunlight. Backlight intensity and screen contrast are adjustable. When operating the StreetPilot at extreme  
temperatures, you may find that minor adjustments are needed to obtain the clearest screen.  
To adjust screen backlighting and contrast:  
1. Press the remote or unit MENU key. Select ‘Display’ from the ‘Menu’ page.  
2. Adjust the backlight and the contrast to the desired level by experimenting with various bright and  
contrast combinations. To have the unit automatically adjust the brightness, place a check in the  
Automatic Brightness’ box. For optimum Automatic Brightness results, set the brightness to a middle  
level. If Automatic Brightness is checked, the lower the brightness slide level is set, the sooner the unit  
reaches a minimum brightness level. The unit automatically adjusts the level depending on ambient light  
conditions. (Note: If Auto Brightness is checked and you move the ‘brightness’ slider bar to its highest  
setting, the brightness for the unit will not be able to automatically adjust itself.)  
Adjust your StreetPilot’s backlight and contrast by  
pressing the Display icon on the Menu page, shown  
above. Access the Menu page by pressing the MENU  
key on your StreetPilot.

Color Mode — Select between Day, Night, or Automatic for best viewing conditions. Day shows a mostly  
yellow background. Night shows a black background for less intensity in a dark environment, which  
provides easier viewing while driving at night. Automatic allows your StreetPilot to automatically switch  
between the two (depending on the time of day as well as the StreetPilots calculation of sunrise and  
sunset).

Line, Point, City, and Area tabs  
Customizing the Map Page  
Line tab — Controls how the track log, railroads, and street labels are displayed on the Map page. By  
default, railroad names are not displayed.  
Point tab — Controls how waypoints, exits, and POIs (points of interest) are displayed on the Map page.  
City tab — Controls how cities of various sizes are displayed on the Map page.  
Area tab — Controls how rivers, lakes, parks, and other areas such as airports, shopping malls, and hospi-  
tals are displayed on the Map page.  
Each of the tabs above contain two common settings: Text Size and Max Zoom:  
The Map Setup page shown above shows the Line  
tab settings. You can change one or all of the settings.  
To restore them to their original settings, press your  
StreetPilot’s MENU key. A Menu page will appear, as  
shown below.  
Text Size — Specifies how large or small the names of items on your Map page will display. For  
example, you may want names of lakes to appear in medium letters and names of large cities to be in  
tall letters. You may want the names of parks to appear in short letters or not appear at all. If you do  
not want the name of an item to appear on the Map page, select Off in the Text Size field.  
Max Zoom — Specifies the maximum map scale at which a map item displays. If AUTO is selected,  
the maximum map scale is determined by the Detail setting to prevent your Map page from becoming  
too cluttered. If OFF is selected, the item will not be shown.  
To restore the Line tab settings, select the Reset  
Settings icon below. To restore all Map Setup settings,  
select Reset All Settings.  
Some map data is only visible at certain zoom scale ranges. For example, you may set Street Label (from  
the Line tab) to a Max Zoom of 200 miles, but the street names would not show above a 0.8 mile zoom  
scale. Setting the Max Zoom to Auto generally gives the best display performance.  
Resetting Map Setup Default Settings  
You may reset (restore) map settings for each individual setup tab or for all tabs. First, make certain you  
are on the Map Setup page. If you want to reset one tab setting, make certain that tab is highlighted on the  
Map Setup page. Then, press the MENU key from your StreetPilot or remote. A Menu page appears. From

Hiding/Showing Data Tabs  
As you have discovered while using your StreetPilot, the data tabs on the Map page display offer a  
variety of useful information. You can also customize what type of information appears in each data tab  
and you can change the color of the data fields. You can even hide the data tabs if you do not want them to  
appear while you are driving. Before you customize the tabs, recall that your StreetPilot uses two different  
sets of display tabs, depending on your navigation mode. When you are simply driving down the road with  
your StreetPilot turned on but you are not navigating a route (driving mode), you will see Mapping tabs.

able:  
• Quickest Calculation: This calculation returns the fastest results, but it might not find the best route.  
• Quick Calculation: This takes a bit more time to calculate than the ‘Quickest Calculation’ method,  
but generates a better quality route.  
• Better Route: This generates an even better quality route, but uses a longer calculation time than the  
‘Quick Calculation’ method.  
• Best Route: This generates the most optimal route, but takes the longest time to calculate.  
Using the ‘Calculate Routes for’ option allows you to  
take full advantage of the routing information con-  
tained in the StreetPilot’s mapping software for plan-  
ning the most efficient route for your type of vehicle.  
Calculate Routes for Lets you take full advantage of the routing information built into the StreetPilots  
mapping software. Some roads have vehicle-based restrictions. For example, a street or gate may be  
accessible by emergency vehicles only, or a residential street may not allow commercial trucking traffic. By  
specifying which vehicle type you are driving, you optimize the route for your vehicle type. Likewise, the  
StreetPilot may give you access to roads or turns that wouldn’t be available to normal traffic.

Customizing Route Settings  
Custom Road Preferences button  
The Custom Road Preferences button appears on the Routing tab and allows you create a customized  
preference for route calculation. For example, if you plan to take a trip that includes scenic routes, move  
the Medium Road Category preference bar towards Prefer and the Major Road Category towards Avoid. Your  
unit attempts to create routes that primarily use medium roads over larger roads. If you do not change  
any of the Road Category settings (Major, Medium, Minor), the overall Custom Road Preferences setting is  
equivalent to the Shorter Time setting on the Route Preference window (see page 47).  
The example above indicates that you have no prefer-  
ence in terms of which type of roads your StreetPilot  
uses when calculating a route. If you desire one type of  
road, move the slider bar towards Prefer.  
As you continue to drive with your StreetPilot, it remembers and stores your driving habits. Thus, if you  
want your unit to automatically optimize the custom route preferences based on your driving habits; simply  
select the Auto Set button. For example, if you tend to drive slower than expected on minor roads, then the  
Auto Set option should move the Minor Road Category preference bar towards Avoid to cause the unit to  
avoid these roads even more than normal.  
When you customize the Custom Road Preferences  
page or use Auto Set, these settings appear as a  
Custom option on the Route Preference window.  
Select the Reset button if you want the original settings to display.  
Note: When you customize this page or use Auto Set, these settings appear as a Custom option on the  
Route Preference window (see page 47). If you choose to select the Custom option, the Custom Road Prefer-  
ences page will reappear, giving you an opportunity to further customize the settings.  
The Custom option icon will appear on the Route  
Preference window--even if you no longer want to use  
it as an option--until you delete the icon. The next time  
the Route Preference window appears, press the unit’s  
MENU key and select the Hide Custom icon.

Time tab  
Reference  
Time Format Allows you to choose either a 12- or 24-hour time format. When you select the 12-hour  
time format, the clock reads like a standard clock with 12-hour AM and PM cycles. The 24-hour option sets  
the clock to display a 24-hour cycle (military time).  
Customizing the Overall Setup  
Time Zone Can be set to one of the U.S. time zones, or you can choose from a list of cities all over the  
world. If your time zone is not on the list, select Other. If you select Other, a UTC Offset field appears in the  
Time Zone field. Touch UTC Offset and then manually enter the difference between UTC and the local time  
zone by using the mini keyboard that will appear. If you are not certain what the offset is between UTC and  
the local time zone, experiment. Simply enter incremental offset values until the correct local time appears.  
Keep in mind that as you move West of the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) the offset is negative (-), and as  
you move East of the Prime Meridian the offset is positive (+). In other words, it is earlier in the day when  
you move West and later in the day when you move East.  
Many time zones are pre-programmed into your  
StreetPilot, which makes displaying the local time  
simple.  
Daylight Savings Can be turned On, Off, or set to Automatic.  
Time, Date, Sunrise, Sunset Determined by the satellite information being received; these settings  
cannot be changed.  
Safety tab  
Your StreetPilot is equipped with a Safe Mode  
feature to improve driver safety. By default, this feature  
is enabled, but can be turned off to allow a passenger  
to operate the unit. When your vehicle is moving, Safe  
Mode disables all StreetPilot functions that require  
significant operator attention and could become a distrac-  
tion while driving such as map panning, all FIND key  
functions (except Recent List), all MENU key functions,  
and creating new routes.  
If the desired time zone is not pre-programmed, select  
Other and enter the offset from UTC to the local time.

Track Log tab  
Reference  
The StreetPilot automatically records a history of your locations in the Track Log, creating an electronic  
“bread crumb” trail of the path you have traveled. Once the log is full, new track points replace the oldest  
track points. The beginning of the track contains the earliest point while the end contains the most recent  
ones. The display of the track log on the map can be turned on and off from the Map Setup page (the  
default is Off). This is primarily for users who are driving off road.

StreetPilot 2660 Only  
Your StreetPilot 2660 is set up to transfer data via a USB connection. If you need to use a serial port  
connection, change the settings below as necessary:  
USB Format  
If you are using the Garmin USB cable to transfer data, keep USB Format set to Garmin.  
Change it to None only if you plan to use a serial cable instead of USB.  
Serial Format If you are using the Garmin USB cable to transfer data, keep Serial Format set to None.  
If you plan to use a serial cable, choose from one of the available settings below:  
• Garmin: The proprietary format used to exchange waypoint, route, track log data with a PC via serial  
connection. Use this format for software updates and to save mapping software to the StreetPilots  
pre-programmed hard drive.  
You can change the USB and serial format settings  
from the Interface tab. Do not change any of the other  
settings unless you are an authorized Garmin installer  
for the StreetPilot 2660.  
• NMEA: Supports the input/output of standard NMEA 0183 version 3.01 data.  
• Text Out: Supports a standardized, fixed-column ASCII output with data for position, track, speed,  
etc.  
• None: Provides no interfacing capabilities.  
Note: Only the USB or the serial cable can be used at one time; you cannot use both at once. Thus, either  
USB Format or Serial Format must be set to None.

Understanding the GPS Information Page  
Reference  
What is GPS?  
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of  
24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military  
applications, but the government made the system available for civilian use in the 1980s. GPS works in  
any weather condition, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup  
charges to use GPS.  
GPS Info Page  
GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to  
Earth. The GPS receiver that is located in your StreetPilot takes this information and uses triangulation to  
calculate your exact location. Essentially, the GPS receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a  
satellite with the time it was received. The time difference tells the GPS receiver how far away the satellite  
is. Now, with distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine your position  
and display it on the StreetPilots Map page.  
A hollow bar (such as satellite numbers 6, 15, and 17)  
indicates the StreetPilot has found the satellite(s) and  
is collecting data. Note how the StreetPilot has not yet  
found satellites 9, 10, 16, 22, and 23.  
A GPS receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least three satellites to calculate a 2D position (lati-  
tude and longitude) and track movement. With four or more satellites in view, the receiver can determine  
your 3D position (latitude, longitude and altitude). Once your position has been determined, the GPS unit  
can calculate other information, such as speed, bearing, track, trip distance, distance to destination, sunrise  
and sunset, time, and more.  
The GPS Information Page  
The GPS Information page provides a visual reference of GPS receiver functions, including current  
satellite coverage, receiver status, and position accuracy. To access this page, press the StreetPilot MENU  
key; a Menu page will appear. From the Menu page, select the Info icon, and an Info page will appear. Touch  
the GPS Info icon and the GPS Information page will appear.  
Solid green bars indicate the StreetPilot has collected  
the necessary information and that satellites 18 and 21  
are ready for use.  
GPS satellites are positioned throughout the sky. As soon as you turn on your StreetPilot, it attempts to  
acquire satellite reception. From the sky view area on the GPS Information page, you can see which satel-  
lites are currently in your area; each satellite has its own number (from 1-31).

Signal strength bars  
A signal strength bar appears for each satellite in view; the satellites number appears beneath each bar.  
The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages:  
• No signal strength bar: The GPS receiver in your StreetPilot is looking for the satellite(s) indicated.  
The corresponding number(s) on the sky view is not highlighted.  
• Hollow signal strength bar: The GPS receiver has found the satellite and is collecting data. The cor-  
responding number(s) on the sky view is highlighted in pink.  
Acquiring Sats’ means the receiver is collecting data  
from available satellites but has not collected enough  
data to calculate a position fix.  
• Solid green signal strength bar: The GPS receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite(s) is  
ready for use. The corresponding number(s) on the sky view is highlighted in green.  
Each satellite has a 30-second data transmission that must be collected (hollow signal strength bar, as  
described above) before that satellite can be used for navigation (solid green signal strength bar). Once a fix  
has been calculated, the StreetPilot then updates your position, ground track, and ground speed by select-  
ing and using the best satellites in view.  
Sky View and Signal Strength Bars  
The sky view and signal strength bars give you an indication of which satellites are currently visible,  
which satellites are being used to calculate a position fix, and the signal quality. The sky view provides  
a “birds eye” view of each satellite position relative to your units last known position. The outer circle  
represents the horizon in all directions (with cardinal heading references). The inner circle represents an  
elevation of 45° above the horizon. Any satellite depicted near the center is directly overhead. You can use  
the sky view to help determine whether any satellites are being blocked and whether you have a current

position fix (indicated by 2D Navigation or 3D Navigation in the Satellite Status field). You can also set the sky  
view to a Track Up instead of North Up (default setting) orientation; this will cause the top of the sky view to  
align to your current track heading.  
Reference  
GPS Info Page  
Satellite Status  
As soon as the GPS receiver in your StreetPilot has collected the necessary data to calculate a fix, the  
status field indicates a 2D or 3D status (for 2D, you may need to enter your elevation). Satellite Status is  
indicated at the top left corner of the page. The status is shown as one of the following conditions:  
Searching Sky – The GPS receiver is looking for any available satellites in view.  
AutoLocate – The GPS receiver is initializing and collecting new almanac data. This process can take up to  
five minutes, depending on the satellites currently in view.  
Acquiring Sats – The GPS receiver is collecting data from available satellites but has not collected enough  
data to calculate a position fix.  
You can temporarily lose satellite reception if no satel-  
lite information is received for a few minutes, or if the  
number of satellites received to determine a position fix  
is insufficient.  
2D Navigation – At least three satellites with good geometry have been locked onto; a two-dimensional  
position fix (latitude and longitude) is being calculated. (Reads 2D Diff Nav if WAAS-enabled)  
3D Navigation – At least four satellites with good geometry have been locked onto; your position is now  
being calculated in latitude, longitude, and elevation. (Reads 3D Diff Nav if WAAS-enabled)  
Lost Reception – The GPS receiver has temporarily lost satellite reception.  
Poor GPS Coverage – The GPS receiver isn’t tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fix due to bad satel-  
lite geometry or due to a shaded antenna (such as driving between buildings)  
Not Usable – The StreetPilot is unusable, possibly due to incorrect initialization or abnormal satellite condi-  
tions. Turn the unit off and back on to reset and re-initialize the receiver if necessary.  
The sun and moon icons on the satellite sky view are  
for reference (note that the icons are a bluish color if  
the sun/moon is below the horizon). You can see the  
sunrise and sunset times for your current location and  
date on the Time Setup page under System Setup.  
GPS is Off – The StreetPilot is being used indoors and cannot be used for navigation.  
Dead Reckoning (2660 only) – The StreetPilot 2660 isn’t tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fix  
due to bad satellite geometry or a shaded antenna (such as driving between buildings), and is using Dead  
Reckoning.

‘Poor Satellite Reception’ Menu  
Reference  
If no satellites are received for several minutes (or if too few satellites are received to determine a posi-  
tion fix), a Poor Satellite Reception message appears. You can: turn off the GPS for using the unit indoors for  
practice; update your approximate location (quicker); or have the unit automatically search for the satellites  
(takes longer). Updating your approximate location ensures that the StreetPilot is searching for the correct  
satellites and is useful if you have traveled over 500 miles with the unit turned off. If the unit has been  
stored for a few months and the displayed date is incorrect, the StreetPilot does not know the current posi-  
tions of the GPS satellites. Additionally, the Poor Satellite Reception message may appear when you first use  
your StreetPilot. The prompt may also appear during normal use if the antenna is shaded or when the unit  
is used indoors.  
GPS Info Page  
Accuracy  
The GPS Information page indicates the accuracy of the position fix. See Appendix F for the StreetPilots  
performance specifications which include accuracy.  
The ‘Poor Satellite Reception’ menu gives you several  
options when an insufficient number of satellites is  
received to determine a position fix.  
GPS Information Page Options  
To display the GPS Information page options, press MENU (with the GPS Information page displayed).  
The following options are available: Track Up/North Up, New Elevation, New Location, and Enable WAAS.  
Track Up/North Up Changes the sky view display from a North Up orientation to Track Up, which aligns  
the Map page to the current direction of travel (ground track). You can also touch the sky view on the GPS  
Information page to toggle between Track Up and North Up.  
New Location Forces the StreetPilot to search for any available satellite to determine its position. This

option can be used only if you don’t have a GPS fix. It is useful if you’ve relocated a long distance (greater  
than 500 miles) from where the StreetPilot was last used. In such instances, without initialization, the  
StreetPilot may be looking for the wrong group of satellites.

To select a new location:  
Reference  
1. Select ‘New Location.’ A window appears with two options (Automatic’ and ‘Use Map’).  
2. Select either Automatic’ or ‘Use Map.’ Selecting Automatic’ puts the unit in Autolocate mode and begins  
searching the sky for satellites. For ‘Use Map,’ a ‘New Location’ map page appears.  
GPS Info Page  
3. If ‘Use Map’ is selected, pan and zoom the map pointer on the map to find your approximate location.  
Then touch the checkmark in the upper right-hand side of the page.  
New Elevation Allows you to designate your approximate elevation when the StreetPilot is acquiring  
satellites or navigating within a two-dimensional position. By default, 2D navigation attempts to use the last  
known elevation. If the elevation shown is off by several hundred feet (or more), manually entering your  
approximate elevation enables the receiver to more accurately determine a position fix. Once the unit has a  
3D position, you cannot enter an elevation.  
Enable WAAS Allows you to improve position accuracy by using Wide Area Augmentation System  
A ‘D’ on various signal strength bars above indicate  
which GPS satellites are being differentially corrected  
via WAAS satellites. Note that if the signal strength bar  
is too short, the ‘D’ will appear above the bar, as with

(WAAS) capability. WAAS is a system of satellites and ground stations that provide GPS signal corrections,  
giving you even better position accuracy. WAAS corrects for GPS signal errors caused by ionospheric dis-  
turbances, timing, and satellite orbit errors, and it provides vital integrity information regarding the health  
of each GPS satellite.  
View the GPS Information page to see which GPS satellites are receiving position corrections from the  
WAAS satellites. A “D” will appear on the signal strength bar for GPS satellites that have been “Differentially  
corrected” via the WAAS satellites.  
Note: Because WAAS information is broadcast from fixed satellites over the equator, it is possible for  
obstructions commonly found in vehicles to block the view of these satellites. When this occurs, WAAS  
reception may be unavailable even though normal GPS reception remains unaffected and fully operational.  
To improve WAAS reception under all conditions, consider using an external GPS antenna such as a  
Garmin GA 27C. Mount it in an unobstructed location.  
GPS satellites can be differentially corrected via WAAS  
satellites even before your StreetPilot communicates  
with the GPS satellites, as is the case with Satellite 5,  
above.

Vehicle Installation  
Appendix  
The StreetPilot 2620/2660 is portable, allowing you to easily carry the unit from vehicle to vehicle  
or take it with you once you reach your destination. A permanent dash mount (consisting of a mounting  
base and adhesive pads) is included with the StreetPilot. Also included is a non-skid friction mount which is  
designed for convenient temporary mounting for your StreetPilot. When mounting your StreetPilot, keep in  
mind the following safety warnings:  
Appendix A: Vehicle Installation  
WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole respon-  
sibility of the owner/operator to place and secure  
the StreetPilot so that is does not interfere with  
the vehicle operating controls and safety devices,  
obstruct the driver’s view of driving conditions, or  
cause damage or personal injury in the event of an  
accident. Do not place the mounting bracket over  
airbag panels or in the field of airbag deployment.  
Airbags expand with a rapid fire force that can  
propel objects in their paths toward the driver or  
passengers, causing possible injury. Refer to airbag  
safety precautions contained in the vehicle’s owner’s  
manual. Do not place the mounting bracket where  
the driver or passengers are likely to impact it in an  
accident or collision. The mounting hardware pro-  
vided by Garmin is not warranted against collision  
damage or the consequences thereof.

DR Cable Wiring - For Dealer Installation Only (StreetPilot 2660 only)  
Appendix  
The StreetPilot 2660 includes Dead Reckoning (DR) cable connections that must be installed by a  
Garmin-authorized licensed installer. The DR connection consists of a 2-wire harness that connects to the  
VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) and Reverse Light Switch on the bare wire end, and connects to the StreetPilots  
vehicle adapter on the 2-prong molded connector end.  
Appendix B: DR Cable Wiring  
(2660 Only)  
The Orange DR 1 cable wire attaches to the VSS. The unit software option Odometer Wave Type must be set  
to either Square Wave or Sine Wave. This can be determined either by contacting the vehicle manufacturer or  
by using an oscilloscope. Square Wave is the most common type. Do not connect the DR Cable into the  
vehicle speed sensor signal from the ABS control.  
The Green DR 2 cable wire attaches to the Reverse Light Switch. The unit software option Reverse Light  
Polarity must be set to either High or Low. Contact the vehicle manufacturer for polarity or check with a  
voltmeter. Set to High (most common) if a positive, high voltage is detected when the reverse lights are  
illuminated. Set to Low if no or a low voltage is detected when the reverse lights are illuminated.

Using Diacritical Marks  
Appendix  
The European version of the StreetPilot 2620/2660 supports diacritical marks commonly used in  
many European languages. Diacritical marks are added to letters to indicate a special phonetic value that  
distinguishes it from an otherwise identical letter. The following letter/diacritic combinations, and special  
characters, are supported in your StreetPilot:  
Appendix C: Using Diacritical  
Marks  
À
É
Á
Ê
Â
Ë

Ç
Ï
È
Ð
Ù
Ñ
Ú
Ò
Û
Ó
Ü
Ô
Ý
Õ
Ÿ

Þ
Ø
ß
Ligatures are not displayed, but are instead converted to separate characters. For example, “Æ” or “æ”  
appears on the StreetPilot as “AE.” Similarly, Œ” or “œ” appears on the StreetPilot as “OE.” The “ß” charac-  
ter is displayed as “SS” on the StreetPilot.  
When finding cities, enter each character using the base  
letter (or whatever corresponding letter with diacritical  
marks appears), then proceed to the next character.  
Letters with diacritical marks are sorted together with those without diacritics. For example, the “Ç” is  
sorted in the StreetPilots alphabet as a “C,” and the “Д is sorted as a “D.” This means that sorted lists may  
contain a mix of diacritic marks for a given letter. Also note that the “Þ” character appears at the end of the  
alphabet on the StreetPilot.  
When searching for a city or point of interest (POI) that includes these special characters in its name,  
your search proceeds as if the base letter and the same letter with diacritical marks are identical. In other  
words, when searching for a city/POI that includes E, È, É, Ê or Ë in the name, simply enter “E” or which-  
ever diacritic version appears and proceed to the next character in the name. As you continue to enter  
additional characters, the appropriate character appears when the correct city/POI name is selected. You  
can observe this by using the FIND key to select the following cities:  
As you continue to enter each character, previously  
entered characters may change to appear with or  
without diacritical marks. Once the desired name is  
displayed, select OK, and then select the desired name.  
An information page will appear.

3. Select the A’ as the second character.  
4. Select the ‘S’ as the third character. As you enter letters, notice how the A’ character in the preceding  
step changes from A’ to an ‘A’ with diacritical marks.  
5. Continue entering the next three characters ‘T,’ ‘E,’ and ‘R’ in the same manner.  
6. Select ‘Å’ as the seventh character. Notice that the diacritic letter appears first, not A,’ because  
‘VÄSTERÅS’ is the only matching entry remaining in the city database.  
7. Try this same exercise with København, Denmark; Logroño, Spain; or Genève, Switzerland.  
For other special characters, try searching for the following cities: Bragança, Portugal (appears as  
shown here); or Meißen, Germany (appears as “MEISSEN” in your StreetPilot).  
Other special characters appear on the European ver-  
sion of your StreetPilot 2620/2660.  
If you wish to save a city/POI as a waypoint, the StreetPilot assigns a waypoint name to this loca-  
tion. Keep in mind that, although diacritical marks appear when using the FIND key, they are not  
supported in most other StreetPilot functions. Therefore, Västerås, Sweden appears as “VASTERAS”  
when saved as a waypoint.

Adding Mapping Software to your StreetPilot  
Appendix  
You can purchase additional MapSource mapping software from Garmin such as City Navigator Europe  
or MetroGuide Canada. Information from these maps will appear on the StreetPilots Map page just like the  
current detail maps that are pre-installed in your unit. Follow the instructions that came with your new  
mapping software to ensure proper installation of the maps to your computer and StreetPilot. In order to  
transfer maps to the pre-programmed hard drive in your unit, use the Garmin USB cable that came with  
your StreetPilot. Open the USB kit and use the enclosed CD-ROM to install the USB drivers onto your  
computer. These drivers must be installed before you connect the USB cable to your computer.  
Appendix D: Adding Maps to  
your StreetPilot  
Controlling Map Views on the Map Page  
You can view a list of your maps, which includes the pre-installed map as well as ones you have added,  
on the Detail Maps Info page. To access this page, press the StreetPilot MENU key two times; an Info page  
will appear. Touch the Map Info icon and the Detail Maps Info page will appear:  
Access the Info page pressing the unit’s MENU key  
two times. Select the Map Info icon to access the Detail  
Maps Info page.  
In the example above, North American City Navigator v5 is the mapping software that came pre-  
installed in the StreetPilot while City Navigator Europe v5 is the newly-added mapping software. A  
box appears to the immediate left of each map name (directly under Enabled). When the Enabled box is  
checked, your StreetPilot will draw the map data from these maps to your StreetPilot. To disable a map,  
uncheck the box by touching the map name. If the maps loaded in your StreetPilot do not overlap, you  
should not need to disable maps. If you load two maps that cover the same area, however, you may want  
to disable one of the maps so that you can view detail from the other one.

Changing Map Families when Finding Places  
If you have loaded additional map families into your StreetPilot (such as City Select Europe or  
MetroGuide Canada), you can specify which map family the StreetPilot uses while searching for cities and/  
or places. Recall that you search for cities and places by pressing the units FIND key and then selecting the  
appropriate Find icon (Lodging, Services, Cities, etc.). The StreetPilot returns a list of results from one map  
family. For example, if you are searching for a restaurant in Paris, the StreetPilot will search from the City  
Select Europe map family and not the North American City Navigator map family. In this case, you do not  
need to change the map family because the map families do not share overlapping information. Thus, the  
StreetPilot knows which map family to use for this particular search.  
If your StreetPilot contains map families that might have overlapping information, you may need to  
specify a different map family. If you are searching for a restaurant in Ontario, for example, your StreetPilot  
might search from the North American City Navigator map family when you really want it to search from  
the MetroGuide Canada map family. Change the map family by pressing the units MENU key. From the

Menu page, touch the Select Map icon. A list of your installed maps that contains searchable cities or places  
will appear on a Select Map page. Touch the map family you want the StreetPilot to use for the search, and  
it will return a list of cities or places only from this map family.  
Reference  
Adding Maps to your  
StreetPilot  
Purchasing Additional MapSource Maps  
You can purchase additional MapSource mapping software from Garmin and download the maps to  
your pre-programmed hard drive. Your pre-installed detail maps are protected from overwriting so you  
don’t have to worry about accidentally deleting them.  
Your pre-programmed hard drive contains approximately 512 MB of available space for your additional  
maps. This amount may be reduced as data updates occur.  
In order to enable additional maps, you will need your Unit ID # (see page 55) and serial # (see page i).  
If information for a particular search is indeed available  
in another map family, a Select Map icon will appear on  
the Menu page. If this icon does not appear, then search  
information is not available in the other map family (or  
families).

Product Safety and Regulatory Information  
Appendix  
FCC Compliance  
The StreetPilot 2620/2660 complies with Part 15 of the FCC interference limits for Class B digital  
devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. These limits are designed to provide more reasonable protection  
against harmful interference in a residential installation, and are more stringent than “outdoor” require-  
ments.  
Appendix G: Safety and  
Regulatory Information  
Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful  
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may  
cause undesired operation.  
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in  
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there  
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause  
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment  
off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.  
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is con-  
nected.  
• Consult your Garmin dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
The StreetPilot 2620/2660 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made  
by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could result in permanent  
damage to the equipment, and void your warranty and your authority to operated this device under Part 15  
regulations.

Warnings and Cautions  
Appendix  
CAUTION: Use the StreetPilot 2620/2660 at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation,  
carefully review and understand all aspects of this owners manual. Thoroughly practice operation using the  
simulator mode prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the StreetPilot  
2620/2660 to all available navigation sources, including the information from other street signs, visual  
sightings, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.  
Warnings and Cautions  
,
CAUTION: IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT PRUDENTLY. THIS  
PRODUCT IS INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY AS A NAVIGATIONAL AID AND MUST NOT BE USED  
FOR ANY PURPOSE REQUIRING PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF DIRECTION, DISTANCE, LOCATION  
OR TOPOGRAPHY.  
MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most  
complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of  
governmental and private data sources which we identify as required in product literature and copyright  
messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to  
some degree. This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and accurate digital data is  
either not available or prohibitively expensive. Because the map data may not be perfect, consider verifying  
the units map with your actual surroundings to confirm that you are arriving at the exact destination.  
WARNING: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States government, which  
is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect  
the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin StreetPilot 2620/2660 is a preci-  
sion navigation system any navigation system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become  
unsafe.

WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the StreetPilot  
2620/2660 to secure the unit so that it will not interfere with the vehicles operating controls, obstruct  
the drivers view of driving conditions, or cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident. Do  
not mount the StreetPilot 2620/2660 over air bag panels or in the field of air bag deployment. Air bags  
expand with a rapid force that can propel objects in their path toward the driver or passengers causing  
possible injury. Refer to air bag safety precautions contained your vehicles owners manual. Do not mount  
the StreetPilot 2620/2660 in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to impact it in an accident  
or collision. The mounting hardware provided by Garmin is not warranted against collision damage or the  
consequences thereof.  
Appendix  
Warnings and Cautions  
WARNING: For use in vehicles, it the sole responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to operate the

distracted by the StreetPilot 2620/2660 to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate  
the controls of the StreetPilot 2620/2660 while you are driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle equipped  
with a StreetPilot 2620/2660 to pay full attention to operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the  
vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or collision with property damage and personal injury.
