Important safety information
In your own interest, read the following notices and safety information carefully before starting up your navigation system.
2.4.1 Safety information on navigation
Use of MEDION-Navigator is executed at your own risk. Caution: To protect yourself and others from accidents please do not operate the navigation system while driving! Caution: You must not look at the display except when it is absolutely safe to do so! Caution: The road layout and the traffic signs are absolutely prior to the instructions of the navigation system. Caution: You must not follow the instructions of MEDIONNavigator except when the circumstances and the road traffic regulations allow doing so. MEDION-Navigator will guide you to your destination even when you have left your planned itinerary. Note: We recommend effecting route planning before beginning the journey. If you are on the road and you want to establish a new itinerary, please drive to the next parking site! Note: If you have not understood the instructions or if you are not sure about what to do next you may quickly refer to the map or arrow view of your navigation system.

Safety information on handling the PNA
Caution: As it is neither splash proof nor waterproof, do not expose your navigation device to water! For example, protect it from rain, snow or hail when you are on your way by bike or on foot. Caution: Disconnect the navigation device from the power supply when you are leaving the car parked for a long period of time. Failure to do so might result in a dead battery since the internal GPS receiver constantly consumes electricity. Note: Do not use any harsh solvents for cleaning the PNA. A damp, lint-free cloth is sufficient! Note: Do not unplug by pulling the cable. This might damage the cable!
Safety information on the installation in the vehicle
Caution: Do not fix the holder within the deployment zone of airbags. Caution: When you install the holder, please check that it may not constitute any safety risk, even in case of an accident.

Glossary
A COM port is a connector to a communications interface, usually the serial port. The ports are numbered by a number behind "COM". A communications interface is designed to connect hardware like a mouse or a GPS receiver. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the mean solar time at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Greenwich near London, England, which by convention is at 0 degrees geographic longitude. Theoretically, noon Greenwich Mean Time is the moment when the Sun crosses the Greenwich meridian (and reaches its highest point in the sky in Greenwich). Up to 1972, GMT was the global time standard. Because of the Earth's uneven speed in its elliptic orbit, GMT has been replaced by UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) which is an ultra stable time standard based on atomic clocks. The GPS (Global Positioning System) is based on 24 satellites which are in orbit round the earth. They are permanently emitting the time and their current position. The GPS receiver receives this information and calculates the longitude and the latitude of its own current position. The signals of at least three satellites are needed to determine the longitude and the latitude. With the signals of at least four satellites the elevation may be calculated, too. The determination has an accuracy of about 3 yards.

COM-port

The Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP) indicates the quality of position determination. Theoretically any value from 0 to 50 is possible. The smaller the value is, the more accurate is the position determination (value 0 = no deviation from the actual position). Values up to 8 are convenient for street navigation. Point of Interest (POI). See Special destination.

POI RDS

Radio Data Signal (RDS) is a service offered by broadcasting stations. TMC information is broadcasted via RDS. Special destinations, also called POI (Points of Interest), are covered by the map and may be displayed on it. Harbours, airports, restaurants, hotels, petrol stations, public buildings, and others belong to the special destinations. You may determine special destinations as itinerary points for navigation purposes. Traffic Message Channel (TMC) supplies your navigation system with the latest traffic information. A TMC module which is available as accessory receives the signals which are broadcasted by radio stations.

Welcome

Welcome to MEDION-Navigator, the navigation software for your Pocket PC. MEDION-Navigator will give you voice directions as well as providing map and arrow displays to guide you to your destination so that you can relax, safe in the knowledge that you will arrive at the right place. It can also be used as an electronic street map outside the car. Beside the functions already known from the previous version of the MEDION-Navigator like manual block of road sections, import of adresses from the Contacts folder in your Pocket PC, route planning with vias etc., with the new version you can now search for special destinations in the vicinity of your car or to enter a postal code for the destination town instead of its name. The system is ready for use in any vehicle within a few seconds, the enclosed car holder is quick and easy to install. When fitting it in your vehicle, make sure the car holder is attached firmly and that it is outside the reach of airbags.

Topics covered in this chapter: 3.1 General information 3.2 Map transfer page 64 page 64

3.1 General information

Maps are transferred using the MapExport Tool, which generates the map data for use in MS Windows Pocket PC 2002/2003. The map transfer is a two-step operation: 1. Storing the generated map on the PCs hard disk (map export) 2. Transferring the map from the hard disk to the Pocket PC or to a memory expansion unit via a map reading device (map transfer). These two steps may be carried out directly one after the other, but this is not essential. Since every map that is generated is stored on your PCs hard disk, you can transfer the map to the Pocket PC at a later stage if you wish. This might be sensible if you are generating several map sections first and want to save them on the hard disk before transferring them to the Pocket PC. Two progress bars indicate the progress of the map export. Depending on the data volume and your PCs performance it may take several hours to generate a map. The subsequent transfer to the Pocket PC or to a Pocket PC memory expansion unit via a map reading device takes up to 2 hours. If you want to transfer the supplied and already exported map of GB+Ireland with major road network of Europe to your PDA, you can do this by transferring it directly to the PDA from the relevant map CD-ROM, i.e. without first storing the map section on the hard drive of your Desktop PC.

3.2 Map transfer

3.2.1 Exporting customised maps to the hard disk of the PC
Select the desired map section using the MapExport Tool.

Fig. 4: Window C O R R I D O R
Entering the radius around the route points
A circular section with a specified radius is exported for every route point. This ensures that any navigation can also be carried out at a later stage away from the route and in the starting or destination area.
Use the two arrow keys to the right of the Radius column to enter the desired radius for
each particular route point. You can choose any distance between 3 km and 50 km max. The default value is 10 km (see Fig.4, item B).
Entering the corridor width
A route may be recalculated within the corridor if the driver has left the route.
Enter the corridor width around the route in the Corridor width input field. This width
must not be less than 2 km. The default value is a corridor width of 10 km (see Fig.4, item E).
Selecting the route options

If you do not select an option, the standard route calculated is the Quick route and
motorways, ferries and toll roads are included in the route calculation.
Click on the Show corridor button (see Fig.4, item F) to calculate the route based on
your inputs so far and to display the results on the map. Route calculation is optional. If no route calculation is carried out before exporting, the program automatically calculates the route as soon as you start the exporting process by clicking on the Create map button.
The route is highlighted in blue, with the radius and corridor width (hatched in grey) being displayed on the map Fig.4, item N). The flags shown on the map mark the route points (Fig.4, item O). At the same time the distance and time to the next route point is shown in the Duration column of the route points list beside each route point (see Fig.4, item A). The total length (distance) and total duration of the route are shown underneath the last route point to the right of the Total field (see Fig.4, item C).
The Information field contains information about the memory requirement (Max. data
volume) for the selected route (see Fig.4, item G). If the calculated memory requirement is greater than 490 MB, a message window appears, prompting you to reduce the size of the map by deleting route points or by decreasing the corridor width.

Final route check

Establish a connection via ActiveSync between your Desktop PC and your Pocket PC. Open the map section as described in Opening a standard map, page 80. Click on the button Transfer to PocketPC (Abb.6, item C),
Open the Pocket PC directory by
clicking on the Plus symbol. add the map data.
Select the directory where you want to Click on OK to start the map transfer.
The M A P I S B E I N G C R E A T E D dialog box appears. The progress bar allows you to check on the status of the transfer. As soon as the map transfer has been completed, a message appears to tell you that the map has been copied successfully.

Appendix

D O I F ?
Here are some possible solutions to the problems most frequently reported to our customer support service in relation to the MEDION-Navigator software.
If the symbol No GPS is still displayed even though the system has been correctly installed and the GPS receiver has been correctly connected, this may be due to one of the following reasons:
Check that the LED on the connector inserted in the cigarette lighter socket is lit. If not, please check the fuse in the connector.
The initialisation of the COM port was not successful:
Touch Settings in the M A I N Reactivate COM1. Touch Save changes.
Select GPS configuration from the drop-down menu in the S E T T I N G S window.
The GPS receiver is connected to a different port not COM 1:
Touch Settings in the M A I N
Select GPS configuration from the drop-down menu in the S E T T I N G S window. Enable COM1 COM6 ports one after the other while keeping an eye on the GPS symbols

symbol does not change to
When you first use the MEDION-Navigator it can take up to 20 minutes before the GPS receiver has found all satellites and has been initialised. See also: 2.2.2 Initialising the GPS receiver, page 15. GPS reception may be subject to interference if the windscreen is a heated windscreen or if the windscreen is metallised. Using a GPS receiver inside the car can therefore impair the function of the navigation system considerably and is not recommended. You should use a GPS receiver that can be fitted on the outside of the vehicle.
symbol frequently changes to
To be able to determine the position correctly, the receiver needs to receive direct signals from the GPS satellites, without any delay. In other words, the GPS receiver needs a clear view of the satellites. Metallic materials, such as the car roof, screen out these signals, high-rise buildings on both sides reduce the receivers coverage and glass surfaces may reflect the satellite signals, which could reduce the receivers performance. Dense foliage, e.g. an avenue of trees, may also reduce the quality of reception on account of the water in the leaves.
