Conventions in this manual
The operation of your navigation system is directly based on the user guide in application software for a PC. That means that entries in the software can be visually displayed on the screen and executed from there. The operation itself is different: While functions on your PC are performed by clicking the mouse, you can operate your navigation device either by using the stylus supplied or by direct manual entry on the touch-sensitive screen of your navigation device. So, the following applies for the following descriptions: For entries that you perform with the mouse on your PC, we use the term "click" For entries using the stylus or a finger on the touchscreen of your navigation device, we use the term "type/tap".
At various points in this manual we refer to entries within a software application or to a path on your PC/memory card. In the following descriptions, these references are indicated as follows: Entries taken from the software (like buttons, menu items or labels for check boxes) are in bold. Specific functions and programs of your navigation system (e. g. MP3 Player etc.) or PC (e. g. Windows Explorer etc.) are italicised. Information about directories and paths (on the external SD card or on the flash memory of your navigation device) are italicised.
The information in this manual documents the operation of the navigation software, explains the graphic display on the screen of your navigation device and lists the available selection options for individual functions. So, the following applies for the following descriptions: Descriptions pertaining to executing a function are listed numerically, thus defining the order of the individual steps. Descriptions referring to various elements in a software window or similar, are also listed numerically, but in colour. Descriptions listing various equivalent options (as in this case), are indicated with bullet points.

Tips and warnings

At various places in this manual we give you practical tips or refer to circumstances which could disrupt the smooth running of your navigation system. These sections are indicated as follows in the following descriptions.
This symbol draws your attention to functions and features that speed up your work flow and facilitate the operation of your navigation system.
This symbol indicates functions and features that are essential to the operation of your navigation system. Please obey all information to avoid malfunctions through operating error or incorrect entries.

Important information

The following contains important information regarding the operation of your navigation system. This information is repeated in the form of comments and tips at appropriate places in this manual. For safety reasons, entries may not be made by the driver whilst driving: Please make the necessary entries before beginning the journey. If you need to change your entries during the journey, stop your vehicle at a suitable point (parking spot etc.). Vehicle windscreens made of Thermoglas or metalised windscreens considerably limit the GPS reception. There is usually a special opening in this metallic coating, behind which the navigation device can be placed. If that is not the case, a commercially-available GPS antenna must be mounted outside the passenger cabin (e. g. on the roof of the vehicle). The instructions for the navigation system are recommendations only: Always pay attention to road traffic regulations. Please note that your navigation device must receive a valid GPS signal in order to calculate the route from the current position. Please note that your navigation device must be set to the local time zone to be able to calculate the correct time of arrival for future route calculations. You can also follow your current position on the map without entering a destination. If available, the name of the street you are currently on will be displayed Note that temporary local changes and/or restrictions to road traffic regulations (e. g. permitted maximum speed) cannot be accounted for in the route planning: Always obey signage and/or local traffic routing. Please note that the map material is current as of the time of delivery. However, the manufacturer cannot guarantee the information to be completely binding or that it corresponds to the road layout and/or signage.

Chapter 2 Manual installation and start-up
The Windows CE operating system has already been installed on your navigation device. In addition, software components such as the navigation software or map material for various countries (depending on the version) may already be pre-installed on the device or on the memory card supplied. If that is not the case, you must first install the navigation software as well as the map material necessary for route planning before operating your navigation system. If you are updating or would like to install subsequently purchased navigation software or additional maps or POI files to your navigation device, you must remove individual or all data installed on your device before installing the newly purchased software. The following data can be manually installed by the user: GoPal Navigator navigation software Map material in the form of PSF files Point of interest data (POI data) in the form of PSF data
Even though it is possible to install files manually, we recommend that you use the Go Pal Assistant supplied with the software to transfer and update software components on your navigation system. The next chapter describes the installation and data exchange using the GoPal Assistant. The manual transfer of software components from CD/DVD to your mobile navigation device takes place in Windows Explorer on your PC. Select one of the two following methods to exchange data between your navigation system and your PC: If you have installed the Microsoft ActiveSync software from a CD/DVD, you can connect your navigation device directly to the USB port of your PC using the USB cable supplied in order to synchronise the desired data. In this case, you have direct access to the internal flash memory of your navigation device. If your PC has a card reading device, you can insert the external memory card supplied directly and manually move the data in the file explorer. In this case, you do not have direct access to the internal flash memory of your navigation device.

Transferring data to the internal memory of the navigation device
Your mobile navigation device has an internal, permanent memory that is located in the My Flash Disk folder. You can use this memory to transfer and then install the navigation software, map material and/or voice recognition files to your navigation device. However, you must have previously installed the software Microsoft ActiveSync supplied on the CD/DVD onto your PC either manu-

You can call up an alternative view to the map display in the Quick menu. In compass display, your current position is shown in relation to the four cardinal points, North being labelled in colour for better orientation. In addition, your current position is stated with longitude and latitude in degrees, arc minutes and arc seconds. The compass orientation as well as the longitude and latitude display is continuously updated to enable precise orientation. As a rule, however, the accuracy of the measurement and the display depend on the quality of the GPS reception signal: For this reason, the GPS reception quality is also indicated as a value in the HDOP field. In addition, the symbol. number of satellites currently receiving the signal is displayed next to the The information bar in the lower portion of the window shows all of the other information about the current route (such as speed, distance, calculated travel time etc.).
Your navigation system uses the signals from several satellites to determine the position. There may be overlap between the section areas of these satellite signals which reduces measuring accuracy. The HDOP value indicated in the compass describes the measuring accuracy within the horizontal 2D map: For values in the range to 6, a high to satisfactory measuring accuracy is guaranteed, for values over 6 deviation is increasingly common.
If a speed limit has been entered for the current route section, it is displayed in the left corner using the symbol: A spoken warning only occurs if the option Speed limit in the menu Settings > Program settings has been set and the speed has been exceeded by this value.

Arrow view

You can call up an alternative view to the map display in the Quick menu. In the arrow view, you are guided by a guidance system based on arrows, independent of a map.

When there is an upcoming manuvre, the orientation of the arrow indicates in what direction you will be led during the manoeuvre. Depending on the manuvre, side streets may also be displayed, but the main route is always clearly marked. The distance to the next manuvre is shown using the segment chain beside the arrow: The closer the manuvre comes, the more segments in the chain are filled. This allows you to readily estimate the actual distance from the manuvre based on your speed. The street on which you are currently located is shown on the upper edge of the screen, as is the route that you must travel on this street to the next manoeuvre. If manoeuvre is imminent, the display is switched: Now the distance to the manuvre is shown as well as the street/direction in which you will be guided after the manoeuvre. The information bar in the lower portion of the window shows all of the other information about the current route (such as speed, distance, calculated travel time etc.).

Trip info

With Trip info, you can call up an alternative view to the map display via the Quick menu. The following information is displayed in this view: Maximum speed Average speed Route travelled Travel time This information refers to all of the routes travelled since the last time the Trip info was reset (see below).
