may need special attention, 

you MUST follow these instructions to start the software.

 If you 

do not, the system may not start properly. 

 

If you bought an entire system from us, including GPS and XM weather unit, we have already 

configured the Bluetooth devices and you should proceed to the next section: 

Starting 

AnywhereXP

 

If you just purchased the Raven XP and are going to configure it with your existing Bluetooth 

GPS and/or XM unit, you will need instructions on linking these devices to your Raven XP. 

These instructions can be found on our website at 

www.anywheremap.com/documentation

. Click 

on Anywhere XP or Anywhere WX XP and the look for the document titled 

Configuring your

this section and continue.

strength bars on it) that progresses from INIT to REQST to GOOD, which reflects the satellite 

signal quality.
