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-
Manual installation and start-up ally or using the Setup Assistant on the CD/DVD. In addition, your navigation device must be connected to the PC using the USB cable supplied. The following description assumes that Microsoft ActiveSync has already been installed. Proceed as follows to copy the installation files for you navigation software to the internal memory of your navigation device: 1. 2. Connect the navigation system to your PC using the USB cable. Once the navigation device is detected, your PC displays the New partnership dialog box: To synchronise existing data between your navigation device and your PC, select Yes. To register the navigation device as a Guest on your PC, select No (recommended). Then click on the Continue button. Select Mobile device in your Windows Explorer and go to the My Flash Disk directory. Right click on the directory and select New folder from the context menu: Name the newly created folder INSTALL and finish the entry by pressing the enter key. Change to the Installation directory in your CD/DVD drive and copy all files and folders in this directory. Go to the directory Mobile Device > My Flash Disk > INSTALL and put the copied contents there.

Select Mobile device in your Windows Explorer and go to the My Flash Disk directory. Right click on the directory and select New folder from the context menu: Name the newly created folder MapRegions and finish the entry by pressing the enter key. Now put all of the copied files into this folder.
If you have added POI files or the voice command feature to your navigation software with an update requiring a fee, you must transfer the appropriate data to the internal memory of your navigation device: The respective function is only available following automatic installation of the data. Proceed as follows to copy POI and/or voice recognition files to the internal memory of your navigation device: 1. 2. 3. To transfer POI files, go to the POI directory of your CD/DVD drive and copy the desired PSF files (e. g. hotel.de.psf). Go to the directory Mobile Device > My Flash Disk > MapRegions and put the copied files there. To transfer voice command files, go to the TSD directory of your CD/DVD drive and copy your country-specific folder: The IrelandGreatBritainTSD folder, for example, contains the voice recognition files for English-speaking countries. Naturally, you can also copy the voice command files/folder for other countries as needed and install them onto your navigation device.

Compass display

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 number of satellites currently receiving the signal is displayed next to the symbol. 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.

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 GoPal 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.

Initial operation

Depending on the version of your navigation system, the software necessary for operation may not have been pre-installed on your navigation device and can instead be found on the memory card supplied: an appropriate comment indicating this can be found in the readme file as well as on the packaging of your navigation device. In this case, you must install the software to operate your navigation system. Proceed as follows to install: 1. Carefully remove the memory card from its packaging. Take care that the contacts are not touched or contaminated: Otherwise data transfer may no longer be possible.
