Chapter 1. Introduction

Greeting

Welcome and thank you for choosing our mobile navigation system. While the instructions included with the device outline the basic operation of your navigation device and additional applications (MP3 Player, Picture Viewer etc.), this manual will cover the following topics: Software installation and start-up Operating the navigation software (quickstart and in-depth description) Technical support for smooth operation
In addition to this version of the manual, you will find a brief introduction on the CD/DVD, enabling you to start up your navigation system in just a few steps. Also, your navigation systems help function contains information about important operating steps and functions. Your navigation device software is constantly undergoing development and can be kept current using updates that are either free or have an associated charge. The information contained in this manual refers exclusively to the scope of functions at the time your navigation system was delivered. In the event the software and/or hardware was subsequently changed and/or updated, the information printed here may vary from actual operating steps. In this case, please consult the support section of the Medion website (www.medion.de/downloads) for the current version of this manual, which will document any changes in operation. Please note that the manufacturer can accept no responsibility for loss or damage as a result of information or potentially incorrect information contained in this manual.

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.

Setup Assistant
Depending on the version and features of your navigation system, it is possible that some of the folders and files mentioned above are not contained on this CD/DVD or that the CD/DVD contains extra data. For more information about the data saved on the CD/DVD included, see the readme file on the CD/DVD. At the time of delivery various components, including the operating system and the navigation 2
software, have already been pre-installed on your navigation device and/or the memory card included: That means that you can use your navigation system straightaway, without having to install anything else. We do, however, recommend that you install additional applications like GoPal Assistant or Ado be Acrobat Reader to be able to take advantage of the corresponding functions. In addition, it may be necessary, due to a malfunction, for you to reinstall various software components for your navigation system after the fact. This procedure is described in Chapter 2, Manual installation and start-up and Chapter 3, Installation and start-up using the GoPal Assistant.

System requirements

Your mobile navigation system can be connected to a conventional Windows personal computer to install (after the fact) application data such as the navigation software, additional map material etc. Your PC must meet the following system requirements for smooth communication. Supported operating systems Windows 2000 from SP4, Windows XP & Vista

Hardware specifications of the current computer generation, minimum 128 RAM, min. one available USB 1.1 port Necessary additional software: Microsoft ActiveSync (only Windows 2000/XP) for operation as mobile device with your PC, GoPal Assistant for automatic data transfer between navigation device and PC (as needed)
If you are working with the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system, you do not need the ActiveSync communication software. The system files required for the data transfer are already integrated into your VistaTM operating system. Please connect your device to your PC using the USB cable supplied: Once your navigation device has been detected as a new device, the required drivers will be installed automatically. After it has been installed successfully, your new device is shown under Removable Devices on the Windows Explorer screen. If you have saved additional data to your navigation device, ensure that there is sufficient capacity available when transferring the data. If there is not enough space, remove unneeded files. If your PC meets these requirements, you can connect your navigation device to an available USB port on your PC using the USB cable supplied to exchange data. For more information see Chapter 2, Manual installation and start-up and Chapter 3, Installation and start-up using the GoPal Assistant.
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.

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 manufactu4

You must remove (some of) the old files before you can install the new map and/or POI files onto your navigation device. For information on how to do this, consult the operating instructions for your navigation device. Note that it is only possible to transfer files to the memory card and/or to the internal memory of your navigation device (see next section) if there is enough free disk space available. You may have to delete unnecessary data to free up disk space.
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 manual-
ly 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.
