Navigation Computer
The navigation computer is installed in the DIN radio slot in the fascia. A spring loaded catch on each side of the
navigation computer secures it in position. Slide tools, installed in slots at the bottom front corners of the navigation
computer, are required to unlock the catches during removal.
The navigation computer contains all the hardware and software required for control of the navigation, radio and CD
systems, including the GPS receiver and a solid state piezo gyro for the navigation system. The piezo gyro measures
the motion of the vehicle around its vertical axis.
The controls for the navigation computer are all located on the front panel of the unit. The centre section of the front
panel hinges to allow access to the CD player and, for security purposes, can be removed from the unit. The controls
perform the following functions:
lOn/Off (ON) button, for switching the unit on and off.
lTone button, for activating the tone menu to adjust bass, treble, balance, fade and loudness functions.

87-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Inputs and Outputs
In addition to the vehicle sensor and the antenna inputs, the navigation computer also receives the following:
lA permanent battery feed from the passenger compartment fusebox, to power the navigation function.
lAn ignition switched battery feed from the passenger compartment fusebox, to power the navigation, radio and
CD functions when the ignition switch is in positions I and II.
lAn illumination power feed for switch illumination and LCD backlighting when the exterior lights are on.
Navigation computer outputs consist of those for the ICE system speakers and to the auxiliary CD autochanger, where
fitted.
Security Code
The navigation computer is programmed with a five digit security code selected from numbers 1 to 7. If the battery or
the navigation computer are disconnected, the code is requested on the LCD the first time the navigation computer
is switched on after reconnection; this also occurs if a different removable panel is fitted.
The code is entered using the appropriate multifunction buttons. The navigation computer automatically starts to
operate when the fifth digit of the correct code is entered. If an incorrect code is entered, CODE is displayed on the
LCD to prompt another entry attempt. If an incorrect code is entered three times in succession, WAIT is displayed on
the LCD and the unit is disabled for approximately 60 minutes. If the navigation computer is switched off, the
remaining disabled time will resume when the power is restored.
Automatic Volume Control (AVC)
The AVC feature automatically increases and decreases the audio volume with increases and decreases of vehicle
road speed. The AVC feature, also known as the GAL setting, uses the vehicle speed signal from the ABS ECU and
can be turned off or adjusted to start at a different vehicle speed. The GAL setting is accessed through the User Menu
and can be set to between 0 and +15, where 0 is off and +1 to +15 progressively increase the vehicle speed at which
AVC starts to operate.

number of satellites being received, the date, time (Greenwich Mean Time) and the type of positional fix currently
possible.
lCALIBRATION– Allows vehicle specific calibration data to be entered, e.g. tyre size. Also allows current
calibration to be deleted prior to re-calibrating.
NOTE: Only known calibration data should be entered. The navigation computer cannot make route
calculations if incorrect data is entered.
lSENSORS– Allows wheel speed, reverse gear and gyro sensor inputs to be checked.
lVERSION– Displays navigation computer hardware and software details.
lSPEECH TEST– Performs a test of the navigation computer audio output.

87-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Calibration Routine
1Park the vehicle outside in an area clear of high buildings, trees etc.
NOTE: The more open the surrounding area is, the faster the system will acquire sufficient GPS satellite signals to
begin calibration. To minimise the calibration time, the vehicle should not be moved again until the calibration
ride.
2Turn the ignition switch to position II. If the navigation computer does not come on, press the navigation
computer ON button.
3If necessary, use the navigation computer multifunction buttons to enter the security code.
4Turn the ignition switch to position 0 and remove the ignition key.
5Press the navigation computer ON button.
6Call up the SENSORS screen on the LCD:
lIf the navigation CD-ROM has not been installed before, press and hold multifunction button 1 then press
multifunction button 10.
lIf the navigation CD-ROM has been installed before, use the garage menu as detailed above.
7Turn the LH rotary control to minimum volume.
8Wait for 30 minutes. If necessary, the vehicle can be left unattended and locked.
NOTE: Land Rover recommend a minimum of 30 minutes be allowed to elapse in order to ensure that only a short
distance need be driven to achieve calibration.
9After the 30 minutes have elapsed, ensure the navigation computer LCD shows a GPS almanac figure of 27 or
higher.
10Start the vehicle engine and allow to idle.
11Install the navigation CD-ROM.
12Wait until the navigation computer LCD prompts for a language to be selected. Turn the RH rotary control to
scroll through the options, highlight the required language and press the RH rotary control to select.
13The navigation computer LCD will prompt for a voice to be selected. Turn the RH rotary control to scroll through
the options, highlight the required voice and press the RH rotary control to select.
14Wait until the navigation computer LCD advises "language has been loaded OK". Press the RH rotary control to
confirm the language and voice selections.
15The navigation computer LCD will default to the CALIBRATION RIDE screen and should show the
CALIBRATION RIDE CAN START message. The GPS data and the road speed counter will also be shown.
16Drive the vehicle over a road route approximating that shown below (it is not necessary to copy the route
exactly). Calibration is complete when the navigation computer LCD switches to show DESTINATION & POI
and the satellite graphic. If all the pre calibration ride conditions were complied with, calibration is typically
achieved within 3 miles (5 km) and usually occurs when the vehicle returns to the start point. However,
calibration may be achieved earlier in the journey and, if it is, there is no need to complete the remainder of the
calibration route.
17After calibration is achieved, return to the dealership, park the vehicle and stop the engine.
18Turn the ignition switch to position I.
19Use the system settings menu to set the navigation computer to local time and the required units of measure:
aPress the Nav button.
bTurn the RH rotary control to scroll through the displayed menu, highlight TIME and press the RH rotary
control to select. Press the + or – multifunction button to adjust the time in 30 minute steps. Select the 24
hour clock and confirm by pressing the OK multifunction button.
cIf metric units of measure are required, go to step e) (the navigation computer defaults to metric units of
measure).
dIf Imperial units of measure are required, turn the RH rotary control to scroll through the displayed menu,
highlight MEASURING UNIT and press the RH rotary control to select. Turn the RH rotary control to
highlight IMPERIAL and press the RH rotary control to select.
ePress the Nav button to return to the destination menu.
20Calibration is complete. The navigation system is ready for use.
NOTE: The accuracy of the system will automatically be fine tuned when a further journey is made, but this is not
required as part of the calibration procedure.
NOTE: In European countries, the territory will have to be set the first time the navigation system is used, and the
first time a destination in another country is selected. The first time the navigation system is used or a destination
in another country is selected, a map is displayed with the default/current territory highlighted. To change the
territory: Press the RH rotary control to display the territory list; turn the RH rotary control to scroll through the
list and highlight the required territory; press the RH rotary control to confirm the selection.
