Garmin 1200 User Guide

Getting Started

1.  Go outdoors to an open area, 

away from tall buildings and trees.

2.  Turn on your nüvi. 

Acquiring satellite signals can take a 

few minutes. The 

 bars indicate 

satellite strength. When at least one 

of the bars is green, your nüvi has 

acquired satellite signals.

Your nüvi offers several usage 

modes for navigation methods. 

Routing is calculated differently 

based on your usage mode. For 

example, in Pedestrian usage mode 

with cityXplorer

™

 maps loaded, your 

nüvi calculates a route that uses a 

combination of public transit options, 

such as riding a bus or subway, and 

walking. cityXplorer maps are not 

included with your nüvi. See  

 to purchase 

cityXplorer maps.
