1_Introduction  
Thank you for choosing the ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 to accompany you and help you during your travels.  
The ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 is ergonomically designed to be as intuitive as possible. This manual nevertheless  
contains precise instructions, together with tips and advice, for each of the many functions that the device offers.  
They are intended to help you to get the best out of your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 device.  
This PND (Personal Navigation Device) is fitted with a touch screen for better ergonomics.  
The package you have purchased contains:  
• 1 ViaMichelin Navigation X-970  
• 2 Car mounting systems for windshield or dashboard use  
• 1 Cigarette lighter cable  
• 1 USB cable  
• 1 Power adapter  
• 1 SD card with USA and Canada already loaded  
• 1 ViaMichelin Navigation DVD-ROM  
• 1 Installation diagram  
• QuickStart manual  
Before installing the ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 mobile device in your car, we recommend that you familiarize  
yourself with how the system operates.  
When you first operate your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970, please connect it to the cigarette lighter socket or to  
your (switched on) PC using the USB cable or the power adapter supplied with your unit for about four hours. You  
may notice that the indicator light in the top left-hand corner of your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 changes color  
according to the battery power level:  
• Indicator Light is Red: the ViaMichelin PND is charging or run down.  
• Indicator Light is Green: the ViaMichelin PND is charged.  
The ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 has a battery life of approximately 3 hours. This battery life depends on how the  
device is used. For example the sound volume and screen brightness as well as using the “hands-free” function on  
your PND may considerably reduce this battery life.  
You will find other helpful information and updates to this manual on the dedicated Navigation website:

2.2 Installing the hardware in a vehicle  
• To benefit from better mounting if necessary, unscrew the suction pad slightly from the support.  
• Install the mounting system on the windsheild by applying pressure to the suction pad and then turning the screw  
clockwise.

• Mount your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 by sliding it onto the mounting system as shown on the installation  
diagram provided.  
• Turn on your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 and plan your journey.  
FOR YOUR SAFETY:

interfere with driving the vehicle.  
- Make sure you position the cigarette lighter cable in a place where it will not obstruct visibility or  
interfere with driving the vehicle.  
- Make sure you plan your destination when the vehicle is stationary. We strongly recommend that  
you not operate the device while driving.  
2.3 Installing the software pre-recorded on the SD card  
ViaMichelin Navigation is a “Plug & Drive” solution: simply install the SD memory card provided on the left side of your  
PND. The card must be fully inserted face up in the direction of the blue arrow as shown in the illustration below:  
To remove the SD card from the device, press on the side of the SD card and release. The SD card will then be  
ejected from the device.  
Then follow the installation instructions displayed on your screen:  
• Select the language for the menus  
• Configure keyboard  
• Select the voice guidance language  
When choosing the voice guidance language, you may select a traditional pre-recorded voice (6 languages  
available: American English, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish) or voice synthesis  
(American English),which will guide you with instructions concerning road names, directions, road signs  
• Voice guidance settings

To select the setting you want, click on the arrows to the left or right of the different choices then click  
on the arrow at the bottom of the screen to move to the next setting or go back to the previous setting  
to modify it. After installing the software on your PND you can change the selected settings from the different  
menus in the “Settings” menu.  
Once the SD card programs are installed you reach the legal disclaimer screen. After clicking the “I Accept” button  
you reach the Main Menu. The following chapters explain how to use it:  
Your ViaMichelin X-970 Navigation is now ready to guide you!  
Comments:  
• If you switch on your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 without first inserting an SD card, a demonstra tion  
mode will run automatically after 90 seconds. To stop the demonstration, simply insert the supplied SD card  
into the slot provided. You will then be able to start using your product.  
• Make sure that your SD card is not locked: safety in the “lock” position, this may impair the operation of  
the ViaMichelin Navigation software. (In this position, the contents of your SD card are protected but the  
software will not be able to save settings required for the software to run properly).  
• Use only the SD card supplied with your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970. Do not use it in other devices (digital  
cameras, PDA, MP3, etc.).  
• Do not change its content without using the ViaMichelin C“ ontent Ma na ger” program.  
You can then install the PC application “Content Manager” which will allow you not only to use the advanced  
functions provided by ViaMichelin Navigation X-970, such as the new “My ViaMichelin” to transfer your personal  
data to your mobile device directly from the ViaMichelin web site: http://www.ViaMichelin.com to export points  
of interest (POI) and to manage the map sets, but also to restore the initial content of your SD card if necessary (see  
Chapter 13 – Content Manager).

2.4 Activating the GPS  
• After connecting your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 and installing the software on the SD card, go to the Main  
Menu, and click Settings / Navigation / GPS. This will take you directly to the page presenting GPS reception:  
When using your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 for the first time, we recommend you to do so in an open space in  
order to ensure the best possible satellite reception. Activating the GPS system for the first time can take several

Comment:  
The ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 is fitted with an SiRF Star III type GPS, the latest generation of GPS, which  
works even in poor reception conditions.  
After selecting a destination and before the navigation instructions show your route, the GPS must have three  
pieces of information to calculate the route: the position, direction of travel and speed. You may consult the GPS  
screen on your mobile device to follow the GPS signal acquisition.  
The time the GPS takes to acquire this information varies depending on how much time has elapsed since the  
device was last used:  
• your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 has not been switched on for more than 24 hours (“cold start”): in this  
case the time needed to acquire satellite signals may be quite long (10-15 minutes), and the message “Satellite  
detection. This may take several minutes” is displayed on the navigation screen.  
• your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 has not been switched on for more than 4 hours (“warm start”): GPS reception  
may take several minutes (5 minutes) and the message “Satellite signal acquisition in progress” is displayed on  
the navigation screen.  
• you switch on your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 after switching it off a few minutes ago (“hot start”): satellite  
reception is almost immediate and navigation can continue.  
GPS acquisition time also varies depending on the surroundings:  
• athermic windscreens:  
if your vehicle is equipped with an athermic windscreen, GPS reception may be  
slower.  
• car park/tunnel/building: satellite signals do not travel through walls, so you will not receive a GPS signal if your  
device is in a building, car park, tunnel, etc.  
• urban “canyoning”:  
reception will be slower in urban areas if buildings are high, streets narrow or there  
are a lot of trees. Go to an open space to improve reception.  
• weather conditions:  
in poor weather (heavy snow, etc.), GPS reception may take slightly longer.  
When using ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 for the first time, we advise you to do so in an open space in order to  
ensure the best possible satellite reception. Activating the GPS system for the first time can take several minutes,  
depending on the surroundings and the quality of the GPS signals.

• When the system displays the message “Are you sure you want to delete this POI?”, click “No” if you do not want  
to delete the selected POI category and go back to the “Map Option” screen, or “Yes” to confirm deletion of the  
selected POI category.  
• Click on the direction arrows to view all the available POI categories presented or on “Back” to return to the

• POI Warner  
emits an audible warning when passing near a POI.  
• My ViaMichelin warning  
• Warning Signal  
emits an audible warning when passing near a saved address.  
use to set the sounds for the various warners.  
6.5.1 Speed warning  
• Click “Speed warn”i.ng  
• Click the left or right direction arrows to select the setting you want, depending on the type of road selected, or  
click the speed to select the desired speed from the list.  
• Click on “Activate ”/”Desactivate ” at the bottom right of the screen to switch this function on and off.  
The default speeds in the “Speed warning ” table are:  
Highways  
Expressways  
Roads  
130 km/h  
110 km/h  
90 km/h  
50 km/h  
80 Mph  
70 Mph  
55 Mph  
30 Mph  
Towns  
The range of speed limit settings for the type of road is between 30 kph and 180 kph or between 25 mph and 110mph.  
This function takes account of the type of road given in the map database without adding more detail about the  
surroundings or special features of a section.  
For example:  
A highway may be limited to 55 mph on some sections instead of 70 mph by default. When the map database  
identifies an “expressway” it will not indicate the section limited to 55 mph. A “road”, on the other hand, may have  
the same speed limit as an expressway in some places. The Speed Warner will then indicate excess speed although  
the traffic regulations authorize this speed.  
“Speed warning ” should therefore be used for information, but as with all navigation information supplied by your  
ViaMichelin Navigation X-970, this information is subject to traffic regulations.  
6.5.2 POI Warner  
• Click “POI Warner”.  
• Tick the boxes by the POI categories for which you want to trigger an audible signal when they are nearby:  
• Click “More details” if you want to break your selection down into subcategories of POIs.  
• Click “Deselect All” to switch off warners on all POI categories.  
Activating a “POI Warner” for a POI category leads to POIs of this category being displayed.

9_The ViaMichelin POIs  
ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 includes an exclusive collection of thousands of points of interest taken from the  
Michelin Green Guide – and a selection of practical addresses (food stores, accommodation, auto service,etc.). An  
exclusive feature of the POIs (Points Of Interest) extracted from the Michelin Green guide and of the practical POIs,  
is that they include a full description and can be selected using a multikey search process.This means that your  
ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 offers you all the comprehensiveness of a standard guidebook, an essential addition  
to your navigation system.  
9.1 How To Look Up a POI Description  
Your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 system offers you several thousand POIs, each with a “Description”. Depending  
on the information available, this description can cover one or more pages. The information provided is then  
grouped into criteria groups based on the category that the POI belongs to:  
• The first page contains the name of the POI, its category, its address, telephone number and in some cases  
Internet addresses (web site and e-mail) or simply its description. If a phone is connected to your device, simply  
click on the number to call the selected POI automatically.

10_Notes and Tips  
This paragraph contains additional information and tips to help you get the best out of your ViaMichelin Navigation  
X-970 system:  
• As you enter letters in a search screen, the choice is restricted automatically. Only existing letters or figures are  
displayed and enabled. As soon as the criterion you want appears in the top bar, you can click it to selecitt.  
• To delete a letter, click the left arrow at the bottom right of the screen.  
• To find a town quickly, you can enter a few letters of the town’s name. For example, when you enterP“HIL” the  
search engine displays “Philadelphia”, “SAN FRA” displays “San Francisco”.  
• To find a street quickly, you can enter a few letters of the street name you want; for example, if you enteMr “ADI” the  
search engine displays “Madison Avenue”, while “AVE” will bring up “Avenue of the Americas”.  
• When preparing a route, some functions are available when you click a place icon. For example:  
– Move up lets you switch a place to the previous stage of the route. This means the arrival point can become the  
departure point or a stage can be moved to the previous position or become the departure point in the journey to  
be (re)calculated in a single click.  
– Move down lets you switch a place to the next stage of the route. This lets you change the departure point  
to the arrival point or move a stage to the next position or change it to the arrival point in the journey to be  
(re)calculated in a single click.  
• The calculated route is displayed on the map as a green line highlighting the roads taken.  
• When your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 is connected and is not used for a certain time, the software will  
automatically start up free navigation. Click the “Back” button to return to the initial screen.  
• If you start the search without entering the POI by clicking D“ isplay All”, the system will list all the POIs it knows.  
• When searching for a POI or a saved address, the system presents the POIs in descending order of distance – in a  
straight line - from the specified place.  
• Click in the space on the top bar to zoom several levels in or out on the map.  
• Click the cursor in the top bar and move it to the zoom level you want.  
• Click in the screen and move the map in the direction you want to display the area you are interested in.  
• If the coordinates show a point a long way from a road, the message T“he place selected must be less than 15  
miles from a road” appears. Click “OK” to return to the previous screen and choose an arrival point or departure  
point nearer a road.  
• If several saved addresses or POIs are very close together, you will need to zoom in to separate them.  
• The history only contains the last 15 destinations used. It is automatically updated: each new destination replaces  
the oldest. You can therefore not delete the history as it updates progressively with new routes.  
• When the location marker is centered on a saved address, theD“elete” button is automatically displayed at the  
bottom left of the screen. If you click on this button, the system displays the messagAer“e you sure you want to  
delete this address?”. Click “Yes” to delete the saved address.  
• In navigation, displaying a very large number of POIs may call on the device’s resources and reduce the smoothness  
of the dynamic display. You are therefore recommended to display only the POIs you need for the route calculated.  
52  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
• The total calculated distance and time for the journey are given at the beginning of the driving directions.  
• By clicking the up and down arrows, you can scroll through the driving directions. The map display is then  
automatically centered on the change of direction given in the driving directions.  
• If the GPS position is outside the limits of the map installed in the system, the GPS cross may appear in the middle of  
a blank screen. By zooming out, you can then locate the GPS position in relation to the maps installed in the system.  
• When “Center on GPS position” is selected, the L“ocation Marker Option” function is no longer enabled. You need  
to move the location marker to be able to access the function again.  
• The position established by the GPS can be affected by several factors:  
• the reception quality of the American satellites signals;  
• the surroundings (buildings, tunnel, high-voltage cables, etc.);  
• battery power levels in the ViaMichelin Navigation X-970;  
• the accuracy of the GPS position calculation (± 15 m);etc.  
• To prolong battery life, we advise you to leave your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 system connected to a power  
source or to recharge it after use. Similarly, a volume and screen brightness reduction favors longer battery life.  
• The “Shortest” routes take the roads in the database that are closest to the straight line between the departure point  
and the arrival point.  
• The “Quickest” routes take the roads that give you a shorter driving time than the S“hortest” route. In Navigation  
mode, the software only uses this type of calculation. Moreover, during short journeys, the software uses the table of  
average speed settings for the 6 types of roads programmed in the map database when calculating theQ“uickest”  
route. Therefore, you can favor some types of road by reducing the average speeds of others or by increasing the speed  
of the type to favor. However, for longer journeys (> 62 mi approximately), the program calculates the route based  
on the primary network (highways and similar roads); the secondary network is only used to get from the departure  
point to the primary road and from the primary network to the arrival point.  
• In Free Navigation, only 2D display is available.  
• When there are several stages in a route, you can click G“o to Next Stage” to tell the system to recalculate anew  
route between the GPS position and the next stage. This means you can plan a route to pass near taown, without  
leaving the main roads.  
• In free navigation the navigation map can be displayed facing north; the position arrow will follow the movements  
of the road relative to a fixed direction, or relative to the navigation axis to maintain the direction taken facing the  
top of the screen. To change this setting during navigation, at the bottom of the screen clickN“avigation Actions”,  
then “Display”. You can then choose between O“rient Northwards” or “Orient in the vehicle’s direction”.  
• If the PC does not detect your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970, connect your USB cable to another USB port and  
check whether other PDA devices such as a Pocket PC PDA or peripherals such as a printer or a scanner that could  
interfere with communication between the ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 and your PC are connected to the USB  
ports. In this case, please disconnect them while installing your software.

15_What to do if…  
In this table, we suggest a few answers to frequently asked questions:  
How can I perform a “partial” or  
“soft reset”?  
A partial - or soft reset - restarts your ViaMichelin Navigation X-  
970 if the application crashes.  
To perform a soft reset, press the “Reset” point on the back of your  
ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 (with an opened out paperclip, for  
example).  
The soft reset closes the application and restarts the ViaMichelin  
Navigation software.  
Comment:  
Only procedures running at the time of the reset may be lost (e.g.  
the current route).  
How do I perform a “full” or  
“hard reset”?  
A full - or hard reset - restores your ViaMichelin Navigation  
X-970 to its initial conditions.  
After this operation, you will need to reinstall the software.  
To perform a hard reset:  
- connect your device to the cigarette-lighter cable, the USB cable  
or a power cord.  
- remove the SD card from the PND.  
- perform a reset by pressing the “Reset” at the back of the device  
then, just after doing so, press the ON/OFF button and keep it  
pressed, without the card.  
- after a few seconds a message and a countdown appear on the  
screen. Keep the ON/OFF button pressed down until the end of  
the countdown.  
- put the SD card back into the PND and reinstall the ViaMichelin  
Navigation program.  
The device does not switch on  
when I press the “ON/OFF”  
button:  
Connect your device to the cigarette lighter cable or power  
adapter for at least 4 hours to fully recharge your PND. If the  
charge indicator diode does not switch on after several hours of  
recharging and the diode does not switch to green, please contact  
your reseller to have your device checked.  
During navigation, the voice  
In the Main Menu, go to Options > General > Language and  
messages are in another language:  
select the Voice Guidance language you want.  
How do I update my POIs?  
Use POI Manager to download and add your POI files from the  
ViaMichelin web site:  
http://www.ViaMichelin.com  
What is the difference between  
the Shortest and the Quickest  
route?  
When preparing a route, it is possible to specify that the system  
should calculate the journey on the basis of the criterion “Quickest  
route” or “Shortest route”.  
The “Shortest route” criterion selects the most direct road  
journey between the points of departure and arrival.  
The “Quickest route” calculates the shortest route on roads  
which have the highest average speeds.

How do you go about installing the  
DVD-ROM on the PC if you get a  
CRC error message when you start  
the DVD-ROM?  
If an error message appears when you try to install the software on  
your PC, we suggest you perform the following operations:  
- empty the Windows temporary files folder: TEMP  
- empty the temporary Internet files folder.  
- empty the desktop recycle bin.  
- check that you have sufficient disk space on your hard drive for  
the installation (4 GB).  
- create a temporary folder on your PC’s hard disk: for example:  
VMX970TEMP  
- copy the DVD-ROM into that folder.  
- while installing, disable the anti-virus software on the PC.  
- click on the “Setup” program to start the installation procedure.  
- follow the instructions on the screen.  
Once the software is successfully installed, delete the temporary  
folder and its contents from your PC’s hard disk.  
The device does not recharge when  
it is connected in the car:  
Check that the cigarette-lighter socket and the mini USB socket are  
properly connected and that the cable diode light is on.
