No "setup" is really necessary. What, specifically, are you trying to do?

And how about posting a picture of that new truck? What color and package did you get?

Before this goes any further . . .

Is your nav DVD in the unit?

Is the unit turned on?

Did you press the NAV button?

i dont have a picture yet. the color is a silvery blue.the nav came included. i cant seem to program my home address.i live in vancouver canada so i set the zone to 8. every time i try to put in a local address it lists the addresses from the states' when i try to search by telephone number it wont accept all the digits.anybody here living in vancouver?

Sounds like you're doing the right things.

Maybe the DVD doesn't contain info for your neighborhood? Entirely possible if you live in a new part of town or a neighborhood that's secluded/private.

How about trying to input the address of a prominent, older building in town? That'll at least give you some indication of whether or not the unit is functioning at all.

i will try that.when you search by phone number do enter the area code first and do you use dashes?

Area code then number, yes. No dashes, no spaces.

Although I don't have nav...this may also help. Look up your Lat/Long using Google Maps, Terraserver, Topozone, or whatever you are comfortable with online. Input that Lat/Long as "home". Hope that helps!

Good idea (I had the same one when I first got the truck) but no such luck. Can't do coordinates with the nav. You can look up every Starbucks in North America but waypoints ain't gonna happen.
