Installing iGO is really simple. All you need to do is plug the SD card into your PDA and the setup procedure will start automatically*. It will perform all the necessary actions for you. You need only do this once for each PDA you intend to use iGO with, then iGO will start and quit automatically as you insert or remove the SD card.
* Some PDA models prevent the installation from running
automatically. In this case follow the instructions in 'How to start the setup manually'

Ready to navigate
Now that the installation is complete and iGO is running, you are ready to start using it. Without a GPS it can be used as a digital map (e.g. to search for addresses or for POI, to browse the map or use it as an off-line reference for navigation), but with the addition of a GPS device (that is able to communicate with your PDA) it can be turned into the ultimate navigation system.
The program offers several custom settings for your comfort described in detail in the User Manual located in the Manual folder of the SD Card. However the factory settings let you start using iGO with its full functionality and comfort.
The first steps if you have no GPS:
Tap the MAP button on the main screen to start using the program as a map, searching for Points of Interest, or looking for addresses.
The screen is set to give you the maximum map size possible. You can move the map in each direction by simply dragging it. You can also drag and stretch the scale at the bottom to set the zoom level. Use the
PDA cursor buttons to turn and scale the map. Tap any map location to have the name of the street displayed together with the house number and the list of the nearest POI. You can mark this point with a pin or save it as POI. In addition various other options are available in the different menus accessible from the corners of the screen.
Note: You can find a comprehensive description of the Map screen and its controls in the iGO User Manual.

The first steps if you have a GPS:
Make sure your GPS has already been recognised by the handheld computer (e.g. a Bluetooth GPS device needs to be searched for, connected and paired using the built-in Bluetooth manager application of the PDA). Now you are ready to set up the connection to iGO.
_______When iGO is first started, a black satellite _______dish with a red exclamation mark is _______displayed at the bottom left corner. This
shows that there is no GPS connection.
Tap this icon to bring up the GPS Data screen where you have two options:
_Automatic GPS detection
_Manual GPS configuration
Automatic GPS detection
The easy way to connect your GPS is launching Detect in the bottom right corner.
The program will check each available communication port with all possible port speeds
and communication protocols to automatically detect your GPS. This may take one or two minutes. The successful connection is confirmed by iGO, the communication between your GPS and your PDA is indicated by a blinking green light on the left.
Page 8
Unless you are inside a building or under heavy foliage, shortly after that the satellite positions and reception strength bars should appear in the upper section of the screen, and when the GPS device finds its position, the exact location coordinates together with date, time, accuracy, elevation and speed information become available in the lower part of the screen.
Your GPS is now set up and next time you run iGO, it will automatically connect to it using the same settings. Now you can return to the main screen by tapping the arrow in the top left corner. The satellite
dish in the bottom left corner is now white (if you have a GPS fix) or red (if you are inside a building), and the exclamation mark has disappeared.
Manual GPS configuration
If you know where and how the GPS is connected, you may select Config. instead of Detect.
In the next screen you need to set the communication protocol (NMEA or SIRF), the communication port (e.g. COM1, COM4) and the communication speed in Bauds (4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 or 57600).

Tap OK to return to the GPS Data screen having the GPS receiver connected with your settings, or tap the arrow in the top left corner to cancel the operation leaving the factory settings untouched.
If you have selected OK and your settings were correct the result will be the same as with the Detect function. The green light on the left will start blinking immediately, and after a short wait satellite positions, signal strength bars, actual coordinates, date, time, accuracy, elevation and speed will be displayed.
Now you can return to the main screen by tapping the arrow in the top left corner. The satellite dish in the bottom left corner is now white (if you have a GPS fix) or red (if you are inside a building), and the exclamation mark has disappeared.

Out on the road
The first steps of the GPS aided navigation are also very easy.
If you have no exact destination to reach or you just want to try iGO cruising around for a while, tapping COCKPIT in the main screen will take you to the driving screen where the automatically rotated 3D map will instantly put you on the virtual road.
As you start driving you will see how the blue arrow (yellow at night) keeps showing your exact location
10.
and heading on the map. At the lower part of the screen some important travel data is also shown (e.g. the street you are driving on and your current speed).
If you already have a destination to reach, choose FIND & GO instead of COCKPIT and enter the Find section of iGO.
Here you can choose your destination from the built-in data of the map (city names, exact addresses, Points of Interest) so far, but later also from the previous search results, your own POI database, and your favourite destinations (originally called Home and Work).
Page 11
As soon as you pick any location in Find, iGO will switch to the Cockpit screen and navigation begins. Just listen to the voice and follow the instructions.
Now you are using iGO for navigation, its main function. This was the aim of this short manual. To explore the full functionality and extra features of iGO we strongly encourage you to read the full iGO User Manual available in the Manual folder of the iGO SD card.
