You have a new GPS you just brought home from the store. The good news: it requires no set-up. The bad news: you still have to figure out how to make it work; how to read the screens; which of the options you want to use and in which circumstances; what all the lingo means … and more. It is true that out of the box you will probably be able to put the batteries into your GPS (as soon as you figure out where the batteries go and how to open it up), turn it on and watch the screens as the GPS acquires signals from satellites and finds your position. But there is a lot more to using your GPS than that. There are the physical things, like figuring out how to mount it in your vehicle if you intend to use it while driving—and how to mount it so it is still portable if you intend to use it out of your vehicle, too, like for running, biking, hiking or anything else. But you also have to learn how to work with all of the options in your new GPS. Believe me, there is a lot to learn about how to use your GPS navigator. You can read and study the manual to try to figure out how to make everything work. You can also check out ShowUhow.com to see if there is a Video Instruction Guide (VIG) for your GPS device. A VIG will break down your installation and initial use and setup of your GPS into short steps that are easy to follow. There is no better way to learn how to use any new device than watching a VIG, which walks you through every step in the correct order. If you don’t see the VIG you are looking for, send a request to ShowUhow.com so they know what you are looking for.
