About the Manuals

Garmin Que™ is designed to use Garmin GPS technology as applications with a PDA to provide you with navigational guidance. Garmin Que is provided with three instructional guides.

Setup Guide

The Setup Guide gives you software installation instructions, and other important details. Before reading the other manuals, read the Setup Guide which is included with the Installation Disk.

Quick Start Guide

The Quick Start Guide tells you how to get started navigating with a convenient reference for basic features. You can carry this with you as a quick reminder of how features operate and how to access them. The Quick Start Guide is printed on the reverse side of the Setup Guide.

Application Guide

This Application Guide describes, in detail, how to use the Garmin Que™ application for navigation. Included on the setup Disk, this document is in portable document file (pdf) form, it can be printed from a PC as a paper copy which may be of benefit when you take your device outside to navigate. (Available only on the setup Disk and the Garmin website:
www.garmin.com
Editor’s Note:
The above manuals and guides were created using the Garmin Que operating software installed on a PDA equipped with popular features and operating with the various versions of Palm OS® v 5. If your make and model PDA meets the requirements stated on the product packaging, it should operate in a manner similar to that described in these guides, but may not include some features discussed in the applications guide. Many PDA features described in this guide are operation of Garmin Que and are used primarily as convenient alternate methods of operation.

About Garmin Que Setup

Once installed on your PDA and in communication with the remote GPS receiver, QueSetup can be accessed from the PDA applications launcher. The QueSetup page provides you with the Que Software version, the remote GPS receiver i.d and version numbers, and Uninstall and Reinstall buttons. Uninstall removes the Que applications completely, while Reinstall prepares for the PDA for upgrades or
reinstallation without removing existing voice files or the
waypoints list.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Garmin Que has been tested and found to operate in a satisfactory manner when installed in Palm OS powered PDAs and Mobile Phones that meet the minimum operational requirements stated on the product package and on page i of this guide. However, Garmin has no responsibility for the quality or the reliability of performance of those products.
A significant issue is the variance in maximum speaker volume for PDAs of different manufacturers. You may find the speaker volume of your PDA to be compromised by road noise and its location in your vehicle when receiving turn-by-turn voice direction prompts while navigating with Garmin Que. It is therefore recommended that you activate the “Attention Tone” feature to prepare you to listen in advance for each voice prompt. Instructions for activating the “Attention Tone” are found on Page 17 of this Guide. Other remedies may be third party devices that can amplify the speaker volume when connected to the auxiliary speaker port of your PDA. Consult your PDA retailer for information concerning these devices.
Touch-screen responsiveness for some Garmin Que operating features may vary from PDA to PDA.
It is also important that you understand the operation of your PDA prior to using Garmin Que. The operation of the Garmin Que application requires understanding of standard procedures used for the PDA that are not discussed in detail in the Garmin Que Application Guide. If you purchased your PDA at the same time as the Garmin GPS receiver and are not yet familiar with its operation, it is recommended that you learn how to operate the PDA first.

Warnings and Precautions

CAUTION: Use Garmin Que™ at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of this Application Guide—and thoroughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from Garmin Que™ to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
CAUTION: It is the user’s responsibility to use this product prudently. This product is intended to be used only as a navigational aid and must not be used for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location or topography. This product should not be used as an aid to determine ground proximity for aircraft navigation.
CAUTION: The electronic chart is an aid to navigation and is designed to facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not replace them. Only official government charts and notices to mariners contain all information needed for safe navigation – and, as always, the user is responsible for their prudent use.
MAP DATA INFORMATION:
One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify as required in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree. This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and accurate digital data is either not available or prohibitively expensive.
WARNING: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although Garmin Que™ is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This Notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our web site at http://www.garmin.com/prop65.
II Que for Palm OS - Applications Guide
INTRODUCTION >
Important! Because Garmin Que can be used with a PDA for vehicular navigation, important safety considerations must be observed. Please read and observe the instructions on this page.
WARNING:
For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of a vehicle equipped with a PDA with Garmin Que
™ installed, to place and secure the device so that it will not interfere with the vehicle operating controls and safety devices, obstruct the driver’s view of driving conditions, or cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident.
Do not mount the PDA over airbag panels or in the field of airbag deployment. Airbags expand with a rapid force that can propel objects in their path towards the vehicle driver or passengers causing possible injury. Refer to airbag safety precautions contained in the vehicle owner’s manual.
Do not mount the PDA in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to impact it in a collision. The mounting hardware provided by Garmin is not warranted against collision damage or the consequences thereof.
WARNING: When used in
vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the PDA to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the PDA while you are driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle equipped with a PDA with Garmin Que installed to pay full attention to operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the vehicle is in motion could result in an accident with property damage and personal injury.
Do Not Mount Where Driver’s Field of Vision is Blocked
Do Not Mount in Front of Airbag Panels
Do Not Place Unsecured on the Vehicle Dash
Do Not Mount in Front of an Airbag Field of Deployment
