Cabin Fixed installation
Regatta
The plotter can be mounted on any surface using the mounting bracket
provided with the unit (see figure). Use the 4 flat-head screws (6mm) to
fix the bracket to the desired mounting surface. Since the bracket does
not allow any left or right rotation, make sure that the unit is properly
installed for the best view angle.
We recommend the installation of a 1A fuse between the power source
and the plotter to protect the instrument against overvoltage and/or
overcurrent.
Plus Car installation
Elite
To allow an easy installation on your car,
the GEONAV is supplied with an addi-
tional bracket equipped with a suction
cup. When the unit is installed, make
sure that your car front window has
enough space to allow good road vis-
ibility.
The installation procedure is the follow-
ing:
1. Locate a flat surface on the window
that allows you to position the
bracket base on the dashboard as
well as the internal GPS to have the
best sky visibility (the GPS has to
track satellites and therefore to see
the sky).
2. Clean the entire front window area
suitable for installing the unit. Use
a good window cleaner and paper
towels and dry the area completely.
3. Verify that the GEONAV does not in-
terfere with levers, airbags and other
car facilities.
4. Pull the suction cup lever back.
5. Place the suction cup firmly on the
clean, flat glass surface and push the
lever forward to make it adhere to
the glass.
6. Make sure that the unit is firmly se-
cured and correctly positioned and
that will not come off the window.

Plus This step is very important to ensure safe operation while driving.
Elite
Test the connection between the unit and the window several times
after installation and during use when you start up the car and on
other occasions.
7. Place the mounting bracket on top of the dashboard and position the
plotter so as to ensure the best visibility of the screen and for the
internal GPS antenna.
8. Plug the power cord into the lighter adapter.
NOTE: Some cars disable the power supply, for example when they are switched on. In this case,
the GEONAV will go out as well.
Cabin Panel mounting
Regatta
Locate the area where the GEONAV is to be installed, then make the
holes in the panel using the appropriate drilling template supplied.
Apply the neoprene adhesive gasket to the rear of the plotter to reduce
moisture penetration and vibrations.
Position and fix the unit to the panel by 4 screws 4 mm in diameter and
maximum 5 mm in length, plus panel thickness.
Do not tighten the screws too firmly, in order not to damage the screw
seats.
