Getting Started

This section contains key steps to get you started with the Navigation mobile application.

1. Download a Map (Optional)

The maps used in this application can be saved to your device or accessed online with an internet connection. If you save the maps on your device, you can get directions even when you are offline. Follow these steps to download map data files:

1.Connect to a WiFi network on your device.
2.Open the Navigation application and tap the Menu icon then tap Map Data.
3.From the All Maps tab, select the appropriate group, and then find the map data you need in the list. Ensure that you have sufficient storage space on your device to be able to download the map data. The file size is shown underneath the name of the map data.
4.Tap the Download icon next to the map data you want to download. The download process might take a while, depending on your connection speed.
 

On devices with SD card support, you can choose to download your map data from an SD card. Contact Verizon Connect support if you want to use this feature.

2. Configure Your Preferred Settings

When you start driving, and you have the Motion Lock feature enabled in your account, you automatically enter Motion Lock mode, which prevents you from interacting with your mobile device screen.

If you are on the Guidance screen or on the Safety mode screen at the time, you will remain on this screen. If you are viewing the list of directions at the time, you will go to the Guidance screen or the Safety mode screen, depending on which screen you were on before viewing directions. If you are on any other screen, you will automatically switch to the Map screen in FollowMe mode.
