User Guide - Navitel Navigator

Get started
Navitel Navigator is an offline multifunctional navigation application used for efficient route search and planning.
This document is the user manual that aims at helping the novice users of the program to learn how to use its
primary functions, as well as to familiarize themselves with all the special features of the program.
Please take notice that this manual also contains information on online services of the program. If there is no
Internet connection on your device, the appearance of the program and its function set can be slightly different
than that described in the document.
To ease the use of the manual we have organized this document in a way that you can read it from the top
downward to learn all the program tricks, as well as use it as a quick reference guide where you may always find a
fine and precise description of a function you are interested in, or follow a simple and friendly instruction on how
to perform a particular operation in the application.
We thank you for using our application and sincerely hope you enjoy it!
Best wishes,
NAVITEL Team

Recommendations
If Navitel Navigator is installed on a built-in or portable navigation device, we strongly recommend you to study
the user guide of the device before starting the program.
Instruction for installing the program on a tablet/smartphone/phone is available at http://navitel.cz/en/support/
instructions/nn-install.
You can find the instruction on program registration at http://navitel.cz/en/support/instructions/nn-registration/.
The instruction on purchasing the program and maps you can see at http://navitel.cz/en/support/instructions/

Safety Requirements
Adjust the program settings and plan the route before starting the vehicle.
Changing program settings or editing the route must be done only after fully stopping the vehicle in a proper
place.
We recommend not to get distracted from driving by looking at the screen of your navigation device, but to
follow voice promts. Remember to set up the voice promts settings beforehand.
You must observe driving regulations, including speed limits and lanes, and maneuver only where allowed and
safe.
Remember! Road safety is of prior importance!
