GPS (Global Positioning System)
GPS is a satellite-backed system for determining your position. With the help
of 24 satellites revolving around the earth, it is possible to determine your
position on earth with the accuracy of a few meters. The satellite signals are
received by the antenna of the built- in GPS receiver, which must have a “line of
sight” to at least 4 of these.
Note:

By limited line of sight (e.g. in tunnels, between houses, in woods or also in
vehicles with metal-coated windows) it is not possible to determine the
position. The satellite reception however automatically picks up again as
soon as the obstacle has been passed and the line of sight is reestablished
again.

Please note that your appliance is preset to not shut down automatically
after a few minutes without activity. You can Change this preset in the
Settings mode.

If the GPS receiver has not been active for some hours, it must orientate
itself again. This process may take a while.
Starting Navigation
1. Press the Sleep/Wake up button for about 4-5 seconds to wake up your
navigation system.
2. The navigation software will start after clicking on the navigation control
button.
Note: The GPS-receiver will require some minutes for initialization when
deployed for the first time. Even when GPs signal reception is indicated, the
navigation could be imprecise. In all future instances it will take about 30-150
seconds until a correct GPS- signal is available, sufficient “sight” of the satellite
is a prerequisite.
Installing Microsoft ActiveSync
In order to transfer your data between your PC and your navigation system you
need the Microsoft ActiveSync program.
Attention:
You should create a hard disk backup, in order to be able to have
access to the original files in the case of possible problems following the
installation.
Attention: You should not connect the navigation system to your computer
yet.
