INTRODUCTION

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.

not essential to

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

Use QueTurns to:

PDA Low-Power Mode

When your PDA is linked with the remote GPS receiver and
connected to external power, the PDA remains on. However,
when your PDA is using its battery, it enters a low-power
mode and the display turns off after the time set for auto-off
expires. When you are actively navigating a route, you can

• View the turns you will take while navigating the route.

• View the Turn Preview for an individual turn.

To open the QueTurns Application:

• Use the Left or Right Arrow keys to cycle through the
Que applications until you reach QueTurns

• Use the Applications Launcher and tap the QueTurns
icon.

still hear voice prompts and see Turn Preview pages display
before each turn in the route. If your PDA includes an LED,
it flashes occasionally, while in low-power mode, to indicate
communication with the GPS receiver.

Pressing the Power button when in low-power mode turns the
PDA on. Pressing the Power button when the display is on turns
the PDA off.

If the connection between the GPS and PDA is lost, both units
auto-power off at the end of their pre-set time out periods.

If you are actively navigating a route, a list of turns that you
will take while navigating that route is displayed.

When the “Connect to GPS” preference is enabled and your
PDA is turned on, it attempts to connect to the GPS receiver.

Each turn entry provides a direction arrow showing the
direction to turn and the distance to that turn, plus written
instructions. The time to the next turn is displayed at the top
right of each turn entry and the time of day which you will
reach that turn is displayed at the lower right of each turn entry.

Tapping a turn on the list displays a ‘Turn Preview’ page for
that turn.

To disable the connection, use the drop-down menu for any
Que application and select “Disconnect from GPS.” To cause
the PDA to re-connect with the GPS receiver, you must once
again enable the “Connect to GPS” preference, using the Que
applications drop-down menus. If the connection has been
disabled for more than fifteen minutes, you must also turn the
GPS receiver back on.

MAP DATA INSTALLATION

Using Map Install to Download Map Data

Map Install allows you to download detailed mapping data
to the Palm OS handheld or a Secure Digital Card. When
detailed maps are installed, Que applications, like QueFind, can
provide a broader range of information about the geographic
area in which you are navigating. If you do not install detailed
mapping data, you will only have access to the information
contained in your Que Application’s basemap.

To download maps:

1. You must have first installed the Detailed Map Data
Disks on your PC. Refer to the

Que for Palm OS

Setup Guide.

2. From your PC Desktop click the Map Install icon to
open the Map Install application.

3. Read the information on the ‘Welcome’ window. It
will help to determine your next step. For certain
maps (like those provided with your new unit) you
must use an Unlock Code to open the map data.
You may have already entered the Unlock Code
during the setup process and you can move to the
next InstallWizard page.

If not, use the sheet of paper packaged with

your GPS unit that contains the code. Click the
appropriate Unlock Code button to open the dialog
box and follow instructions on each page that
follows.

4. When finished with the UnlockWizard a “Select
Device” window appears. Select the desired device
for receiving downloaded map data (Que with your
Palm OS device “username” attached) and the map
data storage location from the drop down list, then
press ‘Next’ to move to the map selection window.

5. In the map selection window, select a map region
to download to your

unit. Use the map selection

tool to click on the map areas that you want.

6. Click Next to move to the ‘Finish’ window.
A “Sending to iQue” window displays and
automatically closes when the map data has been
sent.

The next time you perform a HotSync® operation, the map data
will be moved to the Mobile Device Storage or Secure Digital
Card.

Using MapSource® to Download Map Data

If you own or intend to purchase additional Garmin MapSource
products (other than those provided with your Palm OS
handheld), you may need an unlock code to install some
of these additional MapSource products. Follow unlock
instructions provided in the Garmin Que for Palm OS Setup
Guide.

The MapSource operating software (version 5.4 and above)
can be used to download maps to the PDA internal storage or a
Secure Digital Card. When using the “Save To Device” feature
on MapSource download maps, select the ‘Que’ option to
display the ‘Save To Que’ dialog window. In the ‘Que Settings’
portion of this window, select a Location of either ‘Internal
Storage’ or ‘Secure Digital (SD) Card’ and then click Send.

Note: The next time you perform a HotSync® operation the
map data from either type of download is transferred to the
Palm OS handheld.

When downloading maps, be certain to check the amount of
free space available on the card to be certain there is sufficient
space for the new maps. Open the Card Info application to view
the available space information.

order of 2-3 meters (7-10 feet). This accuracy is comparable to
DGPS (as explained below), but without the need for a separate
beacon receiver. Since all SBAS systems use the same receiver

located. Enabling WAAS in regions that are not supported by
ground stations, which correct position data, typically, does not
improve accuracy even when receiving signals from an SBAS
satellite. In fact it can degrade the accuracy to less than that
provided by GPS satellites alone. For this reason, your Garmin
GPS receiver, when in the “WAAS Enabled” mode, uses the
method that achieves the best accuracy. To enable/disable
WAAS, refer to the General Settings tab of the System Setup
Page of Garmin Que. For more information, go to http://gps.faa.
