Honeywell Bendix/King AV8OR Ace User’s Guide 3. AUTOMOTIVE MODE OPERATION WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION GoDrive is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your destination with a connected GPS receiver. GoDrive does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you. It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate GoDrive before you start your journey.
PAGE 260
Honeywell Bendix/King AV8OR Ace User’s Guide at naviextrras.com. See the Subscriptions and Updates section on page 6-23 for more information. GLOSSARY 2D/3D GPS reception The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and need at least four signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals.
