Portable GPS devices provide route guidance and turn-by-turn directions, so you don't have to fumble with a map and directions while driving. To streamline the installation process, many devices include mounting equipment that can be installed in almost any vehicle. Once the mount is set up, plug the power supply into your vehicle's 12-volt power source to start receiving accurate positioning and navigation information from a satellite.
Instructions
1. Clean the mounting area of the windshield that will hold the GPS mount.
2. Press the suction cup against the glass until the air in the cup is released. Flip the lever at the base of the mount to secure the GPS mount to the glass.
3. Attach the cradle to the suction cup base. Align the GPS unit with the markings on the cradle and snap the device into place. Tilt the top of the GPS back to secure it to the cradle.
4. Plug the power cord into the port on the device and insert it into the 12-volt power source in your vehicle. Splice the power wire to the 12-volt source. The portable GPS is now operational in your vehicle and will automatically acquire the signal from the satellites.
