This type of GPS receiver may be integrated already in your PDA.

Please refer to your PDA manual.

You may have purchased MN7 Windows Mobile (PDA) as part of a

package which includes the required components.

Otherwise, such a receiver can be purchased in specialist stores.

► Connect your GPS receiver if it has to be connected to the PDA

with a cable and possibly to a power source.

► If the GPS receiver is not integrated in the PDA, switch it on and

position it as far forward as possible under the windscreen, flat

against the dashboard.

Configuring GPS

When you start MN7 Windows Mobile (PDA) for the first time, the GPS

CONFIGURATION window will open. You can carry out the GPS

configuration manually or use a wizard.

This configuration will apply for each subsequent start of MN7

Windows Mobile (PDA). If you want to use a different GPS receiver,

you will have to repeat the configuration process.

Tap on Options

> GPS Status > Settings to go to the GPS configuration

screen.

GPS Wizard

► Tap on GPS Wizard and follow the instructions on the screen.

As soon as the connection has been configured correctly, the M

AIN

MENU main window will open.

Configure Manually

If the GPS receiver configuration failed, you will have to configure your

GPS receiver manually:

1. Tap on Configure Manually

.

2. Enter the required details. You will find the data in the GPS receiver

manual.

3. Tap on OK

MENU main window will open.

User’s manual MN7 Windows Mobile (PDA)

Before you begin - 15 -

Note: GPS reception can be impaired by heated windscreens or by

metallised windscreens. If necessary, use an external antenna. You can

obtain an external antenna in specialist stores.

2.10 Installing the hardware in a vehicle

We recommend the usage of a special cradle for your PDA in order to

ensure safe operation of the navigation system in a vehicle. This

ensures that the display can be easily read and that the driving

instructions from the system can be well understood.

You can purchase a special cradle for your mobile phone in specialist

stores.

2.11 Power supply for the PDA and GPS receiver

It is recommended to connect the PDA and GPS receiver to an external

power supply source, especially for longer trips.

Charging cables for connection to the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket

are available for almost all devices in specialist stores. These cables

are often also available online from the PDA manufacturer or GPS

receiver manufacturer.

If you want to power several devices from your vehicle's cigarette lighter

socket you will need a multiple adapter, which is available in specialist

stores.

2.12 Navigation with GPS

GPS is based on a total of at least 24 satellites orbiting the Earth and

continuously transmitting signals of their position and time. The GPS

receiver receives this data and calculates its own geographical position

on the basis of the information transmitted by the various satellites.

Data from at least three satellites is required for positioning with an

acceptable degree of accuracy. With data from four or more satellites it

is possible in addition to determine the position's altitude above sea

level. Positioning is accurate to within three metres.

Once the navigation device has determined your position, this position

can be used as a starting point for calculating a route.

The map data on your navigation device includes the geographical

coordinates of all digitally recorded points of interest, streets and

places. This enables the device to calculate a route between a starting

point and a destination.

Calculation of the current position and its representation on the map

takes place once every second. In other words, your current position is

always shown on the map.

User’s manual MN7 Windows Mobile (PDA)

- 16 - Before you begin

2.13 Important safety information

In your own interest, read the following notices and safety information

carefully before starting up your navigation system.

Operating the navigation software - 19 -

Traffic Information

You can draw traffic information either from the Traffic Live service or

from radio stations (TMC). Using this information the navigation system

can change your route dynamically, for example in order to avoid a

traffic jam.

If you draw traffic information from the Traffic Live service, your PDA

will not require a radio receiver or a TMC receiver.

The Traffic Live service evaluates not only the information which is

made available to it by radio stations but also floating car data from the

numerous users of the service. As the result, traffic jams can be

detected and avoided more quickly and more reliably.

If your PDA has an integrated radio receiver or TMC receiver, or if you

have connected an external TMC receiver, the navigation system can

draw traffic information from radio stations via TMC.

Traffic Live

The Traffic Live service is not included in the full version of MN7

Windows Mobile (PDA) but must be booked separately. For details

refer to "Activating the Traffic Live service" on page 11.

It is available fre

e

of charge during the test period of 30 days.

Note: The Traffic Live service is useful above all when TMC traffic

messages are being transmitted in the country in which you are

travelling and there are many vehicles using the service. This may not

be the case everywhere.

The Traffic Live symbol appears when you are drawing traffic

information from the Traffic Live service. It can indicate the following

traffic information reception states:

Connecting (in red): The last attempt to call up traffic information from

the NAVIGON Live server failed. This can be the case, for example,

when travelling through a tunnel.

Traffic Live Ready (in light grey): Traffic information was called up

successfully. The active information is up to date.

TMC

If your device has an integrated radio receiver or TMC receiver, or if you

have connected an external TMC receiver, the navigation system can

draw traffic information from radio stations via TMC.

Note: This function is only available if TMC traffic messages are being

transmitted in the country in which you are travelling. This is not the

case in all countries.

User’s manual MN7 Windows Mobile (PDA)

- 20 - Operating the navigation software

The TMC symbol appears when you are drawing traffic information from

radio stations. It can indicate the following TMC reception states:

No symbol

: There is no TMC receiver connected, or the connected or

built-in TMC receiver is not operational.

Tuning (in red): The TMC receiver is operational but cannot find a

transmitter that is sending TCM signals. There are no active traffic

messages.

Tuning: The TMC receiver is operational but cannot find a station that

is transmitting TMC signals. Traffic messages are active however. This

A software keyboard appears on the screen when text entries are

necessary.

All entries can be made on the software keyboard using your fingertips.

Only capital letters can be entered.

When entering town or street names you need not enter any special

characters or umlauts. The navigation system fills in these characters

for you automatically. For example, if you are looking for the town of

"Bärnau", then simply type in the word "BARNAU". Special characters

may be helpful however when naming saved destinations and routes.
