Getting Started

Congratulations on purchasing the Dell GPS Navigation System (Navigation System). The Navigation System is a full featured software application that uses the latest in satellite technology and detailed street maps from NAVTEQ to guide you through the most complex streets.

The Navigation System is designed for the Dell™ Axim™ Pocket PC, but will run on all Pocket PCs with the appropriate specifications. The complete map of the United States and Canada is on the two CDs. You use the Map Loader software on your desktop or laptop computer to transfer selected map information to your Pocket PC, either by city or by region. A different map can be loaded to your Pocket PC at any time using the Map Loader software.

Since the map of the United States and Canada is very large, it does not fit on the Dell™ Axim™ Pocket PC. You can transfer map data by city or region, but not both at the same time. To transfer the portion of the map you want to your Pocket PC, use the companion map loading software on your desktop (or laptop). The time needed to download a map varies based on system capabilities and the size of the map.

When you travel to a different area of the country, the map loader lets you easily change the maps on your Pocket PC as needed. Smaller maps load more quickly, and you can use multiple memory cards to keep a selection of maps available.

NOTE: Because of the relatively small memory of Pocket PCs compared to

desktops, you will receive a warning if you try to load too much map data as a single map. Maps of 100 Mb and smaller are easily managed by the Navigation System.

What’s in the Box?

The Navigation System box includes the following items:

• CD ROM 1, containing the desktop Map Loader and Pocket PC application, this map data

• CD ROM 2, containing the Eastern U.S. and Canada map data

The Navigation System comes with a convenient dashboard mount. The mount comes with a PDA holder attached to a suction cup.

Owner’s Manual 19

Page 22

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

To install the mount:

Remove the PDA Flex-Arm, Attachment Bracket and PDA Pouch from the box. You will need to straighten and re-shape to fit your vehicle’s windshield and dashboard configuration before use.

Align the slot on the back of the Attachment Bracket and slide onto the end of the Flex-Arm.

PDA Pouch can now be fastened by first passing the vertical attaching straps through the back of the Attachment Bracket, then repeat by passing the horizontal straps through the bracket. Place your PDA into the jacket and adjust the straps accordingly to create a pocket on the front-side to properly conform to your PDA.

Use a glass cleaner to thoroughly clean the inside of the windshield where the suction cup will be mounted.

Peel the protective paper off the rubber suction cup and decide how you want to shape the mount so it attaches to the windshield and a portion rests on the dashboard for support.

Pull the lever on the mount back (away from the suction cup), then place the rubber cup against the glass and move the lever towards the glass to secure it in place. To release arm, simply move lever back and pull the protruding rubber tab on the suction cup.

20 Owner’s Manual

Page 23

Re-shape the arm so that a portion of it is resting on the dashboard for support.

Using the Car Charger

General precautions

• For most vehicles, the engine must be running to get power to the cigarette lighter.

• Do not expose the car charger to excessive heat, moisture, or gasoline.

• Do not disassemble the unit or attempt to replace internal parts.

• Do not allow children to operate or play with the cord.

• Unplug the charger after use.

• The vehicle’s power source must be within 10 to 30 V DC to function properly. A built-in fuse with a rating of 1.5A offers protection to the device being charged. Do not replace fuse with anything other than a

1.5A fuse.

To install the dashboard mount:

Start the vehicle’s engine before inserting the 12V DC Car Charger into the cigarette lighter socket. A small LED will light to indicate that power is active.

To charge the PDA only: Insert the power plug into your PDA for charging.

To charge the GPS only: Insert the power plug into your GPS receiver for charging.

To charge both the PDA and GPS: Insert the GPS Charger Cable with the Y-connector supplied into your PDA. Then insert the opposite end into your GPS receiver.

The 12V DC charger can now be inserted into the Y-connector for charging of both devices.

Owner’s Manual 21

Page 24

Troubleshooting power

Unplug the charger, wait 15 seconds, then reinsert into the power outlet. If this does not correct the problem please check the following:

• That the 12V DC Car Charger adapter is inserted all the way into the cigarette lighter socket.

• That there is power to the lighter (check fuse in the vehicle’s main fuse box).

• That the fuse in the 12V DC Car Charger adapter is also not blown.

Using the GPS Device

The Navigation System uses a Bluetooth® GPS Receiver (the Receiver) to get signals from satellites orbiting the earth. Using these signals, the Receiver identifies your position within 30 feet.

Bluetooth® is a short-range wireless technology that allows devices to pass information between them without wires.

GPS stands for Global Positioning System. Twenty four satellites orbit the earth, spaced so that at any given time and position on earth at least four satellites are visible. Using a process called triangulation, the Receiver calculates your position on the earth from the data received from the satellites. The satellites do not receive data back from the Receiver.

The Receiver gets satellite signals only when there is a clear view of the sky. Trees and tall buildings can block the view, and signals are rarely received within a building.

NOTE: For best reception, place the Receiver on the front or rear dashboard of

the vehicle. For navigation, there must be an active Bluetooth® connection, the GPS position must be fixed (receiving signals from several satellites), and the battery must be charged or connected to a power supply.

Exploring the GPS Receiver

The Receiver has the following features:

• Power Switch - Turns the Receiver on (-) or off (0).

• Power Jack - Connects a DC car power charger (included with the Receiver) or an AC power charger to recharge the internal battery.

• Bluetooth® Status LED (blue) - Blinking slowly indicates there is no Bluetooth® connection. Blinking quickly indicates there is communication with another Bluetooth® device.

• GPS Status LED (green) - Blinking indicates that the GPS position is fixed. Steady indicates that the GPS position is not fixed (information is being received from fewer than three satellites).

Owner’s Manual 23

Page 26

• Battery Status LED (red/yellow) - Red indicates that the battery power is extremely low and that the device should be recharged immediately. Yellow indicates that the battery is being charged. The LED is off when the battery is partially or fully charged.

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

The Receiver must be charged prior to use. Initial charging takes up to three hours. Future charging will depend on how depleted the battery is when the Receiver is plugged in.

NOTE: The first time you use the Receiver it can take from five to fifteen

minutes to receive satellite signals. Thereafter it should take approximately 90 seconds to begin receiving signals.

Partnering the Receiver with the Pocket PC

A partnership must be established between the Receiver and the Pocket PC to allow communication between the devices. Most of the time the partnering will happen automatically when you start the Navigation System.

24 Owner’s Manual

Page 27

Partnering the GPS Receiver with your Pocket PC requires:

• The Navigation System must be successfully installed

• The Receiver must be charged or plugged in

• The Pocket PC must be turned on

• The Receiver must be turned on

• The Pocket PC and the Receiver must be within 15 to 30 feet of each other

Sometimes you may need to manually partner the Receiver with the Pocket PC. The process of partnering differs between different versions of the Pocket PC operating system.

Partnering with Windows Mobile 2003 Operating System

You use the Bluetooth Manager that comes on your Pocket PC to manually partner the Pocket PC with the Receiver.

Checking the GPS Connection Status

The GPS Status screen provides you with details about the data being received from the satellites.The Receiver needs at least three satellite connections to provide navigation.

Owner’s Manual 29

Page 32

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

• UTC Time shows Universal date and time (Greenwich Mean Time).

• Location shows your current position and speed using latitude, longitude, and altitude. Satellite indicates how many satellites you are receiving signals from and how many satellites are potentially available based on the orbit of the satellites.

• Local Time shows the time at your current location.

• NMEA shows incoming satellite data, which is shown graphically below.

• The graphic to the left shows the position of all reporting satellites relative to your current position.

• The bar graph to the right shows the strength of the satellite signals. Each bar represents a single satellite. White bars indicate signals are being received, but no position fix (minimum of three satellites) has been made. Green bars indicate strong signals. Red bars indicate weak or bad signals.

To check the GPS connection status:

• Do one of the following:

• Tap the satellite icon in the menu bar.

•Tap the

Signal Reception

Once the Receiver and the Pocket PC are partnered, you receive satellite signals. Based on satellite position and your geographic location, you may experience the following:

• Satellite signals are received more quickly at specific times of the day. For example, at 10:00 a.m., you might receive signals in under a minute because more satellites are visible in the sky. At 3:00 p.m., you may not receive signals because only two satellites are visible in the sky

• Buildings can block satellite signals. Setting up the GPS receiver in a vertical window blocks at least 50% of the sky. Trees also can block satellite signals.

NOTE: A window with a Southern view, rather than Northern view, should be

used to receive signals.

The Receiver performs at its best when the battery is fully charged. If you are having trouble receiving signals, try plugging in the Receiver.

The color of the vehicle arrow on the map indicates the connection strength between your Receiver and the satellites:

• Green indicates that 4 or more satellites are available. This is the strongest level of GPS connection, sometimes referred to as a 3D fix.

• Yellow indicates that 3 satellites are available. This is a weaker level of GPS connection, sometimes referred to as a 2D fix.

• Red indicates that less than 3 satellites are available. The system will seek additional satellites before providing navigation.

Selecting a Point of Interest

There are several ways to select a Point of Interest (POIs) as a destination. You can select one from the map, or you can select one from the menus.

Because many types of POIs are available in the Navigation System, they are grouped into categories. When you select a high level category, the subcategories are listed. When you have selected a sub-category (or All to see

Owner’s Manual 65

POIs from all of the sub-categories), you can then select among the closest, where you can pick alphabetically or by distance. Or you can select within a specific city.

NOTE: The high level category Lodging does not have sub-categories. The high

level category Restaurant has so many sub-categories (Food Types) that they do not fit on a single screen. You use the Food Type screen to select a food type from the list of available sub-categories.
