I - Compatibility and minimum requirements
a) Minimum requirements - Operating system Pocket PC 2003, Pocket PC 2003 SE, Windows Mobile 2005 or Symbian V60 OS 8.X; - SD/MMC, Mini-SD or Micro-SD Expansion Slot; - 15 MB free memory (Pocket PCs); 6 MB free memory (Symbian V60 phones). b) PC* minimum requirements - Operating system Windows 98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP or superior; - DVD-ROM drive (4x or superior); - Microsoft ActiveSync (3.71 or superior), that comes with your Pocket PC or card reader for Symbian V60 phones; * These requirements are only to the NDrive Mobile version (on DVD-ROM). The other versions don't require a PC to work, although it is prudent to make a backup of the NDrive memory card to a personal computer or to another memory card.

II - First Steps

a) GPS - To retrieve a position you must have, at least, 3 satellites with good reception (they appear with a red bar in the GPS window). With 4 or more satellites you will have a more precise position and an altitude measure; - The first time you turn on the GPS, or without using it for a few hours, the first reception will take longer (about 5 minutes to obtain signal in some cases); - To speed up the signal reception you must be in a wide open place and with some visible sky above you. Walking will increase the time to retrieve the first position; - Clouds, trees, buildings and fog will decrease considerable the quality and intensity of the GPS signal. The errors will be higher and the system will be slower. If your device has a built-in GPS ignore steps b) and c). b) Pairing the GPS bluetooth with a Pocket PC If you have a GPS Bluetooth or if you've acquired the NDrive BTGPS version, first you have to pair the GPS with your Pocket PC: - Turn on the GPS Bluetooth - At the inferior right corner of you Pocket PC click on the Bluetooth icon (if this icon is not there go to "Start/Settings/Connections/Bluetooth" - Click on "Mode" and activate "Turn on Bluetooth"; then click on "Devices" and on "New" - Click on the GPS found during the search and introduce the pairing code when asked for (consult the manual of your GPS to verify this code). Please note that, usually, this code is "0000" or "1234". - If you are questioned about a serial port, activate that option. - If you have Windows Mobile 5.0, after pairing, go to "COM Ports" and choose "New Outgoing Port" (except Port 0); Select the GPS and click in "Next"; remove the check box in "Secure Connection"
and click finish. Note: Given the large diversity of Pocket PCs, GPS and Bluetooth drivers of different manufacturers, in case you don't get a pairing, search the manual of the PDA manufacturer about the Bluetooth. Make a soft reset on your Pocket PC and verify the manual of you GPS. c) Pairing the GPS bluetooth with a Symbian V60 OS8.X Phone - Turn on your Bluetooth GPS - Start NDrive When starting NDrive for the first time the system will try to locate a Bluetooth GPS and a window will appear, asking for the pairing code. The NDrive GPS pairing code is "0000". This is the only pairing configuration you will have to do. Automatically, the NDrive will pair with the GPS in about 40 seconds. If you still have any problem with the pairing process, remove the phone battery, turn off the GPS, turn on both devices again and run NDrive. d) NDrive software installation

Installation by ActiveSync This installation option only works in Pocket PCs. To install via ActiveSync youll need to have this program already installed in your computer. Otherwise, you can get it free at the Microsoft site. When the ActiveSync is installed the PDA has to be synchronized with the computer, you just have to connect both with the USB cable. After synchronizing the PDA, insert the DVD NDrive in your computer. It will show three options: Install NDrive, Install Maps and Install NDrive to Pocket PC or Symbian on the computer. Choose the first option. Then, it shows another menu with three options: Upgrade the NDrive through the ActiveSync, Reinstall the NDrive through the ActiveSync and Install NDrive to Pocket PC on your computer. Choose the second option, since you are installing the software for the first time. Afterwards, click on Start and the software will be recorded in your PDA memory card. With the software installed, you now have to choose the DVD second option Install Map. After selecting this option, you will see the maps of all Europe, and choose the one you have licence to. To know which your licence is, please consult the cover of the instructions manual, where the serial number is placed. Above this number is a small description (e.g.: Map: PT), that indicates your license. With the software and the map installed, you may now register the NDrive (you may consult the process information at point e).
Installation by Memory Card This installation option is available both for Pocket PC and Symbian equipments compatible with the NDrive. To install through the memory card is easier, although it has an important requirement: youll need a memory card reader. In this case, these are the steps to install. Insert the NDrive DVD in your DVD computer drive. Three options will be shown: Install NDrive, Install Maps and Help. Choose the first option and another menu will appear with three options: Upgrade the NDrive through the ActiveSync, Reinstall the NDrive through the ActiveSync and Install NDrive to Pocket PC/Symbian on your computer. The right option is the third one, since you are installing the software for the first time and will transfer data through a memory card reader.
Now click on Open and select where you want to save the folders that will be created (2577, NDrive, System). We advise that you choose desktop. When the folders are extracted, you only need to copy the three folders that were created and paste them inside the memory card. After installing the software and the map you may register the NDrive (NDrive (you may consult the process information at point e).

Installation by Nokia PC Suite
This last option is only available to compatible Symbian equipments. To do so, you need the Nokia PC Suite program, which you can get freely through the Nokia site. To begin installing, take the following steps: insert the NDrive DVD in your DVD computer drive. Three options will be shown: Install NDrive, Install Maps and Help. Choose the first option and another menu will appear with three options: Upgrade the NDrive through the ActiveSync, Reinstall the NDrive through the ActiveSync and Install NDrive to Pocket PC/Symbian on your computer. The right option is the third one, since you are installing the software for the first time and will transfer data through a memory card reader. Now click on Open and select where you want to save the folders that will be created (2577, NDrive, System). We advise that you choose desktop. When the folders are extracted, start the Nokia PC Suite program, use the option Transfer files and choose the memory card as destination folder. After installing the software and the map you may register the NDrive (NDrive (you may consult the process information at point e).
e) NDrive registration When the installation process is finished, you will see a screen with the name of the map you acquired, for instance Iberia:
The map that is installed in your memory card
Then, click on the name and a new screen will appear where you have to choose the register way: Web or SMS. With PDA, the register via SMS only works for those with a telephone function.

Web registration

SMS registration
If you choose the SMS option, it will ask for the serial number.
Insert de serial number wich is on guides book cover
After inserting the serial number, youll have to wait about five minutes until the register process is concluded. If every thing is correct, a message will appear, confirming the process conclusion.
If you choose the Web option, after introducing the serial number, the "Authorization Code" (code generated by the equipment) will be given to you.
Serial Number Auth. Number
Click on OK and the activation code will be requested. You can get this code on www.ndriveweb.com.

In Pocket PC, to go to the main window of the application from the map you just have to click on the icon with a "house". In Symbian V60 phones use the left button. To go back to the map just click on the "map" button that is at the inferior, right corner of the main window. If you click on the "tutorial" button, at the inferior left corner of the main window, you'll see a presentation with the basic functions of the NDrive.
IV - The Ndrive in detail
a) Map window Whenever you start the NDrive, it is the map window that comes first. At the same time, the Bluetooth function of the Pocket PC starts (with a view to obtain the satellite signal of a bluetooth GPS).
Besides the map drawing, at the screen centre, you also have a series of buttons (in Pocket PC): (superior left corner) Allows enlarging the map; (inferior left corner) Allows reducing the map); (superior right corner) Allows controlling the reception of the satellite signal, with four colours: - Satelite with Red Colour - No GPS receptor was found. Make sure you have the pairing of your Bluetooth GPS receptor correctly established or that the GPS receptor is on. If it is not detected after this, please contact us by e-mail: info@ndriveweb.com; - Satelite with Blue Colour - The GPS receptor was detected but the signal is not enough to place the current position on the map. Place the GPS receptor out of doors, near the vehicle dashboard. Some vehicles own reflecting glasses that difficult the signal passage. Place the GPS receptor out of those glasses range. If this is the first time you're trying the connexion, it may take some time before you get the signal; - Satelite with Yellow Colour - The position has already been placed in the map, but there are only three satellites, which does not allow getting the altitude; - Satelite with Green Colour - The position has already been placed in the map and there are more than three satellites sending the signal; If you click here you may get all the information related to the current position and satellite signal: direction (compass), latitude, longitude, altitude, velocity, satellite signal and number of satellites found. (inferior right corner) Allows to execute an action over the active/selected map point, some of those actions may be of navigation to that point, add to favourites or define the point as home. (inferior right corner) Allows to go to the NDrive main window, where all the functions of the application are presented.

b) Symbian V60 Shortcut keys There are some keys with functions attached so that it is easier to carry out some action without going to the main menu all the time: Joystick - Allows to move the cursor to any of the four sides or to enlarge the map if you click at the centre. Left Button - Opens the application's main menu; Right Button - Reduces the map size; 1 - Navigates to the place previously selected as home; 2 - Navigates to a certain address; 3 - Navigates to a place previously searched; 4 - Navigates to the place previously selected as favorite; 5 - Finds the points of interest closer to the maps current's position (in navigation mode shows the next manoeuvre); 6 - Shows the GPS state; 7 - Identifies the way closest to the cursor (on navigation mode ends the navigation); 8 - Commutes between the background light options (on/off); 9 - Commutes between the vocal instructions options (on/off);
* - Opens the options menu; # - Reduces the map twice; 0 - Exits the application.
c) Find When you click "Find" from the main menu, all the search possibilities are presented, which are:

Find Home

Find a city or street
Find a recent localization Find a POI

Find a Favourite

Find a Nearby POI
- Home - Shows the residence location on the map. To define the residence location, see point f) - Address - Allows an address search and its location on the map. The search is done in three consecutive steps: search of city, street and door number (if it exists at the selected address). The search is done through the virtual NDrive keyboard. This keyboard works as in the mobile phones: click twice on the ABC key to write a "B" or three times on the DEF key to write an "F". When you are doing the street search, avoid using terms such as "Street", "Avenue" or any other designation that is too common in an address. Use, instead, less common terms (such as: when searching the Yellow Road Street, do the search using only "Yellow"). - Recent location- Allows the quick search of the last 18 searched places (Addresses and POIs). - Favourite - Shows the location, on the map, of points that were placed as favourites before. These may be divided in different categories, that can be set by the user (personal, work)After selecting the category, choose the favourite that you wish to see on the map. - POI - Allows the search of a Point of Interest (POI) and its location on the map. The search is done in three consecutive steps: city search, POI category search (Tourism, Sports, Culture, Health) and POI. In Pocket PC the search is done trough the NDrive virtual Keyboard. This keyboard works as in the mobile phones: click twice on the ABC key to write a "B" or three time s on the DEF key to write an "F". When you are doing the POI search, avoid using terms such as "Monument", "Pharmacy" or any other designation that is too common. Use, instead, less common terms (such as: when searching the Pedroso Monastery, do the search using only "Pedroso").

- Nearby POI - Allows seeing the POIs that are closer to the map current position. The current position of the map is indicated by the GPS signal, or, in lack of GPS signal, by the central point on which the current map is. First select the POIs category (Tourism, Sports, Culture, Health) that you want to locate. Then the 18 places of this category that are nearby are shown. Click in one of those places to see it on the map.
d) Navigation The navigation with the NDrive is always made according to a starting point. That starting point is given by the satellite signal. When there's no satellite signal, the starting point is given by the map's central point. Note: If you don't have a GPS signal and want to demonstrate a route from A to B, do the search of a POI or an address (Starting Place). Return to the main menu and navigate now to the point you wish to be your destiny. Likewise, with no GPS signal, navigation is replaced by a route demonstration. - Navigation window

e) Dynamic Points of Interest (Duty Chemists, Events and Weather) The Dynamic Points of Interest are dived in three categories: Weather, Events and Chemists (Duty Chemists). This type of point of interest allows getting information in real time. It can visualize the weather predictions for that same day and for the five days ahead. It can seek information about the events of a certain city, for instance, by choosing Porto, you will see all the events that are or will be happening on that day. The last Dynamic Point of Interest (Duty Chemists), allows you to seek information about Duty Chemists on permanent service or in backing in a certain region. The Dynamic Points of Interest are on the same screen as the other points of interest, but the back colour is grey, as you can see on the next page.

V - Tricks and tips

Backup and upgrades Do a backup of the NDrive to your computer or to a memory card. In this way, if a problem with the application reading occurs, delete the application and copy all the files that you had save to the root of the memory card. The NDrive becomes totally operational again. You may also explore the NDrive site (www.ndriveweb.com) to know if there's a more recent version of the application. To compare with the version you have installed, verify the inferior corner during the initial message. Note: Before deleting the former version of the NDrive, save the files "favourites" and "NDRI" at the directory "NDrive" and then place them back in the new version. Use the NDrive Today to quick navigation

Open the NDrive

GPS Information
Navigate to Home Navigate to Favourite Navigate to Recent Localization
The NDrive today is installed with the NDrive. This application that is on the today screen of your Pocket PC allows quick navigation to home, favourites, to the last place searched (history) or allows visualization of the Gps reception status. To remove this application, go to Start->Settings->Today->Items and remove the NDrive today.
Navigate with the NDrive minimized If you have a Pocket PC Phone Edition, you may navigate with the NDrive minimized. Click on the ring off button during navigation and the NDrive is minimized, keeping the navigation instructions.
Auto run Whenever you introduce the memory card with the NDrive, the application starts automatically. To withdraw that possibility, delete the file "Autorun" from the directory "2577". Note: it is advisable to have a backup of this file in case you choose to activate that function again. Next instruction Click in any heading area of the navigation window when you are navigating to hear again the next instruction. Improve your GPS reception The GPS receiver must have, whenever it is possible, the best visual-field with the sky. In the car, it must be set on the dashboard, as ahead as possible, to avoid signal blockage (athermic glasses may also condition the signal reception). On the other hand, the buildings, the trees' leafage or the fog worsen the reception signal, which results that in some days and places the signal may be stronger than in other. If get bad signal, you must use an external antenna.
