The initial setup is crucial when first using your nüvi - it allows the
device to find and sync with satellites. The startup screen will allow
you to skip through this section but doing so could cause your nüvi to
have difficulty working the way it should. Without completing this
important step, your nüvi may default back to the location of Kansas
City each time it is turned off and on again, not saving your settings.
It also may not be able to pick up the satellite properly.
