Minimum Pocket PC requirements for Garmin Que

About the Manuals

Garmin Que™ is designed to use Garmin GPS technology as an
application with a Pocket PC to provide you with navigational
guidance. Garmin Que comes with three instructions.

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
CD.

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.

Application Guide

This Application Guide describes, in detail, how to use the
Garmin Que™ application for navigation. Part of the installation
CD, this document is in portable document file (pdf) form,
it can be printed from as PC as a paper copy which may be
of benefit when you take your device outside to navigate.
(Available only on the Installation CD.)

Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled Pocket PC 2002 or
Windows Mobile for the Pocket PC 2003 original and Second
Edition operating system, 16 MB program memory.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Garmin Que has been tested and
found to operate in a satisfactory manner when installed in
Pocket PC’s 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 Pocket PCs of different manufacturers. You may find the
speaker volume of your Pocket PC 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 25 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 Pocket
PC. Consult your Pocket PC retailer for information concerning
these devices.

Editor’s Note:

The above manuals and guides were created using the Garmin
Que operating software installed on a Pocket PC equipped
with popular features and operating with Microsoft
platform. If your make and model Pocket PC meets the
minimum requirements stated below, it should operate in a
manner similar to that described in these manuals and guides,
but may not include some features discussed in the applications
guide. Many Pocket PC features described in this guide are not
essential to operation of Garmin Que and are used primarily as
convenient alternate methods of operation.

It is also important that you understand the operation of your
Pocket PC prior to using Garmin Que. The operation of the
Garmin Que application requires understanding of standard
procedures used for the Pocket PC that are not discussed in
detail in the Garmin Que Application Guide. If you purchased
your Pocket PC at the same time as the Garmin GPS receiver
and are not yet familiar with its operation, it is strongly
recommended that you learn how to operate the Pocket PC first

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

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.

GPS APPLICATIONS

Starting Up the Garmin Que

If you followed the Setup instructions provided with the
product, then both the Garmin GPS receiver has been activated
and the Garmin Que application software has been successfully
installed in the Pocket PC. To start operation, turn on your
device and tap Start to display the Start Menu, then tap
Programs to display the
Programs List with the
Garmin Que icon. Tap
the Garmin Que icon to
display an introduction
page and then the Map
Page and you’re on your
way to navigating.

Helpful Hint: To
shorten the process of
restoring the Garmin Que
application to visible
status, open Settings and
the Menus application on
the Personal page. From
the Menus page place a
check next to Garmin Que to place it on the Start List.

It is important to remember that the GPS receiver will
continue to operate when the application is not in use. This can
contribute to depletion of reserve battery power. To prevent
accidental battery drain, it is recommended the you turn the
GPS receiver off when the Garmin Que application is not in
use.

The methods for closing the Que application are to tap
“Exit” from the Map Page
Main Menu, or from any
application, tap Start,
then Settings, and finally
Memory and tab to a list
of Running Programs. Tap
“Garmin Que” and then the
Stop button.

Tap to open the Application

A message window at the top of this page keeps you informed
of the status of the GPS receiver. When the GPS receiver is
not in communication the Map Page will display a “No GPS
Connected” message.

While the GPS receiver is first turned on, the Map Page will
then display a “Waiting for GPS” message until the application
connects with the receiver. Once connected an “Acquiring
Satellites” message appears until GPS Location is achieved.

To return to the Map Page from any other Que feature page or
option, tap OK.

Initializing the GPS Receiver

The GPS receiver must
be initialized (given an
opportunity to determine
its location) before you
can begin using it for
navigation. Before it can
receive signals from GPS
satellites overhead, you
must turn the receiver
on and position it parallel with the horizon for best satellite
reception. In order to receive satellite signals, you must be
outdoors and have a clear view of the sky. Satellite signals
cannot pass through solid materials (except glass) or dense
overhead tree cover. When the receiver initializes for the
first time it may take as long as 15 minutes. This time can be
shortened by using the GPS Info Page to select the general area
in which you are currently located (see page 21). Anytime you
have traveled more than 600 miles with the GPS receiver turned
off, the receiver must again find its location by re-initializing.

If for any reason, you have difficulty initializing your receiver,
refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page 38. The solution
could be as simple as moving slightly to avoid buildings or

objects that are blocking or deflecting satellite signals.

Viewing the Map Page

The Map Page is the base
for accessing all of the
Que navigation features.

GPS APPLICATIONS >

Using the Map Page

application. From this page you can observe a triangular arrow
that indicates your current location and direction of travel. As
you move, this “Position Arrow” moves with you, turning when
you turn and stopping when you

To use the Map Page:

1. Tap Start to open the Main Menu and then tap Programs.

2. Select Garmin Que to display the Map Page.

When first accessing the Map Page it will take a few moments
for the GPS receiver to locate satellites overhead before it
determines your location. While this takes place, an “Acquiring
Satellites” message will display at the top of the page.

When your location has been determined, a “3D GPS Location”
message replaces the original message. After you begin
moving, it changes to display the next street ahead and you
can also determine your direction of travel, speed and current
location by observing the data fields below the message.

The Map Page also displays detailed geographic information
such as highways and roads, lakes and rivers, cities, waypoints
and residential streets, depending on the detail of map data
being used. Detailed maps can be loaded from map data CD’s
using MapSource as explained on page 35 of this guide.

There are two map orientation options: North Up and Track
Up. North Up orients the map like a paper map, while Track
Up orients the map in the direction of travel and can be set to
display only below a desired map scale. As you travel to the
edge of the display, the map moves (redraws) to constantly
show your current location.

When the “Pan Map with Stylus” mode is selected, dragging
the stylus across the screen causes the map to pan with the
movement of the stylus. This allows you view portions of the
map surrounding your current location helping you to locate
nearby cities, lakes or other geographical features. When this
feature is not active, the “Zoom Scale” feature is in place which
allows you to drag the stylus across a desired portion of the
map, creating a rectangular box to zoom in on details.

Tapping the Details icon on the tool bar displays the Details
Page with either an address description or latitude and longitude
coordinates for your current location or a map point defined by
the Map Pointer.

Tapping the stylus on the map places the Map Pointer on any
selected location on the map. If that location is supported by
detailed mapping data, a description (name or address) will
display (briefly). Any location on the map, marked by the
Pointer, can be saved as a waypoint by tapping the Waypoint
Marker Flag or the Information Page icon in the map tool bar.
(More on waypoints on page 19.) To remove the Map Pointer,
tap the Position Arrow icon on the tool bar or on the map and
re-center the Position Arrow. When the Arrow is centered on
the page, the icon is highlighted.

The map color can be set to automatically compensate for the
difference in day
readability of the map. Switching from day to night mode reduces
the amount of night glare produced by the screen when mounted
on a vehicle dash. See Map Setup preferences on page

When you zoom in from 500 feet on down and the Position
Arrow isn’t matched to a road on the map, an Accuracy Circle
appears around the Position Arrow. The circle represents the
area in which you are located. The diameter of the circle will
vary in size depending on the number and geometry of overhead
satellites. When zoomed in with the Track Log recording, you
may also see many small track lines criss crossing in and out of
the circle as the GPS receiver adjusts its location.

reference stations must also be in place near the region you are
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.

What is WAAS?

The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is an FAA
funded service to improve the overall integrity of the GPS
signal for users in North America. WAAS is just one service
provider that adheres to the MOPS (Minimum Operational
Performance Standard) for global Satellite Based Augmentation
Systems (SBAS). Eventually there will be several services
of worldwide geostationary communication satellites that
broadcast integrity information and differential correction data
as transmitted by ground reference stations.

At this time WAAS is still in the developmental stage with a
goal of providing reliable signals with an accuracy of 7 meters
(21-22 feet) both horizontally and vertically 95% of the time.
Current tests have shown the actual accuracy to be on the
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
frequency, any SBAS system should be capable of providing
your GPS unit with increased accuracy at any location in the
