A navigation system includes an operator interface module ("OIM") which includes the user input devices, such as a keypad, and output devices, such as a display and audio speaker. The navigation system further includes a computer module which includes a CPU, mass storage (such as a hard drive), accelerometers and GPS receiver. In a method according to the present invention, the OIM displays a "select user" screen during navigation system power-up. The select user screen displays a plurality of user icons, each associated with a particular set of user definable settings. Upon selection of the particular user icon, the navigation system is configured according to the user definable navigation system settings. The user defined setting sets include, for example, the language, route preference type, default map scales and orientation, units, color settings, volume, alert tones, address book entries, and any other user definable settings that the particular user has previously set to personalize the system-user interface.
