Getting Started

Powering Up

Note: GPS navigation will work right out of the box even if you do not have internet access.
Connecting to Wi-Fi
When you first turn on your tablet, you’ll be asked to select a Wi-Fi network to connect to the internet. A Wi-Fi connection is required to browse the web, download apps, and use internet- enabled features such as weather and traffic. Choose your wireless access point or hotspot from the list and type in your password. You can come back to this step later if you are in a place without internet access.

Registration
In the next step, you’ll be prompted to register your tablet with Rand McNally. Your registration ensures that you have access to the latest information and updates, as well as Customer Support.
