To learn more about the capabilities of the Travel Companion, refer to this guide as well as the Additional
Product Information on the Getting Started CD. To begin navigation, proceed to the next step.
Navigation Setup
If you do not want to navigate now, continue learning about the Travel Companion and refer back to this
section when you do want to use navigation.
You can use the navigation features of the Travel Companion right out of the box. The easiest way to
open the GPS application is from the HP Quick Launch screen. When launching the GPS application
for the first time, follow the on-screen instructions to configure and set up personal preferences.
The Travel Companion includes a built-in GPS receiver. To navigate to a destination, the GPS
application must determine your current position, for which it uses the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Available for free and without subscription, GPS uses satellites to transmit signals to GPS receivers.
GPS signals work in all weather, anywhere in the world.
To establish a GPS signal, use the GPS receiver outdoors with a clear view of the sky. The GPS
application can take up to five minutes to find your current position during its first use. If it takes longer
than five minutes, make sure that you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees nearby. In
subsequent uses, the GPS application will find your position much faster. Once the GPS application
locates your current position, the application shows your position on the map.
If you want to immediately start navigating:
1. Press the power button to power on the Travel Companion. If this is the first time powering on the
Travel Companion, you must either press the Reset button or connect to power for the unit to power
on.
2. Start the GPS application by tapping Navigation from the HP Quick Launch screen.
3. Place the Travel Companion in a location with a clear view of the sky.
4. Install the car kit.
5. Insert the Travel Companion and plug it in using the travel power adapter.

Troubleshooting Help for Synchronization Issues
Following is a list of symptoms that may indicate synchronization issues are occurring:
No ActiveSync chimes sound (or a gray icon displays), and there is no activity in the ActiveSync
●
window on your personal computer.
ActiveSync chimes sound, and the ActiveSync icon on your personal computer changes to a
●
swirling green icon. The “retrieving settings” message appears on your personal computer, but the
ActiveSync connection drops prior to establishing the partnership.
ActiveSync is searching for a connection but none occurs. (The green icon on your personal
●
computer continues to spin.)
Synchronization has been established between your HP iPAQ and personal computer but
●
connection is dropped. (The green icon on your personal computer stops spinning and grays out.)
Firewall or other network protection software message box is displayed for ActiveSync to access
●
the network or Internet.
If you experience difficulty while synchronizing your HP iPAQ and personal computer, try the following
solutions to troubleshoot any synchronization issues:
Confirm that you are running ActiveSync on your personal computer with a supported operating
●
system (OS).
To get more information about the supported OS versions, visit:
●
www.microsoft.com/
windowsmobile.
The latest version of ActiveSync is at:
●
If you are running ActiveSync 4.1 or later and personal firewall software on your personal computer,
●
www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads.
please add ActiveSync to the firewall program’s exception list.
(Firewall software, such as Sygate Personal Firewall, TrendMicro PC-cillin Internet Security, Norton
Personal Firewall, McAfee Personal Firewall, or Zone Alarm Security Suite may block
synchronization.) Refer to the documentation that came with your firewall program to determine
how to add ActiveSync 4.1 or later to the program’s exception list. To further troubleshoot a firewall
application and enable ActiveSync 4.1 or later, visit:
www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/
activesync.
During the ActiveSync installation, if you inadvertently left the Microsoft Exchange Server option

●
established.
On your personal computer, click Start > All Programs > Microsoft ActiveSync.
●
Click Tools > Options > Sync Options tab.
●
Uncheck the boxes for the sync items listed under the Server group.
●
Place a checkmark in the boxes under the Desktop group for those items to synchronize.
●
Disconnect your HP iPAQ from your personal computer and wait for the ActiveSync message
●
confirming that your device is no longer connected. Reconnect your HP iPAQ to your personal
computer. Wait for about two minutes to see if your HP iPAQ connects to your personal computer.

GPS General Information
Satellite signal reception for your GPS-enabled HP iPAQ generally requires that you go outdoors to start
the GPS navigation software. Place the HP iPAQ where there is a clear view of the sky or on the
dashboard of a vehicle that does not have thermal glass windshields or windows.
NOTE Interference might take place close to tall buildings or large trees, and under very cloudy
or overcast skies, all of which can block the satellite signal from reaching the HP iPAQ. Try to
avoid these obstructions before using GPS.
WARNING! When using hardware and software navigation aids, in a vehicle or elsewhere, it
is your sole responsibility to place, secure, and use these aids in a manner that will not cause
accidents, personal injury, property damage or obstruct your view. You are solely responsible for
observing safe driving practices. Do not operate this product while driving. Park the vehicle first.
If you are going to use GPS navigation in your vehicle for an extended period of time, charge your HP
iPAQ using the Auto adapter.
For information on GPS accessories, visit
www.hp.com/go/ipaqnavigation.
ENWW GPS General Information 3
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Verifying Compatibility
All HP iPAQ Global Positioning System (GPS) enabled devices come with HP iPAQ compatible GPS
navigation software solutions.
If you are interested in purchasing additional GPS navigation software to use on your HP iPAQ, check
with the GPS software supplier (before you purchase, download, or install any GPS navigation software)
to determine that the application is compatible with your specific HP iPAQ model.
Once you have verified compatibility, purchase and install a map onto the HP iPAQ or memory card to
be able to start using the GPS navigation technology.
NOTE HP recommends that you download all GPS maps to a memory card that is compatible
with your specific HP iPAQ model, or to the iPAQ File Store folder. This prevents you from losing
your map data due to a possible power loss or a need to perform a clean reset on your HP iPAQ.
Since your HP iPAQ model uses Windows Mobile 5.0, you can store maps in main memory that
is not erased if the battery loses power.
You can purchase memory cards at
www.hp.com/accessories/ipaq.

Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Configuring My GPS Software to Connect to My HP iPAQ's
GPS Receiver
All GPS software applications need to know which communications port to use to access GPS data.
Your HP iPAQ already has the GPS port specified for the GPS software applications that came with the
device. However, if you install additional GPS applications onto your HP iPAQ, you may need to specify
the GPS port in your GPS application's configuration settings.
If your GPS software does not automatically discover the GPS receiver on your HP iPAQ, set your GPS
application's configuration settings to COM7 and a baud rate of 57600. If you need help, refer to the
documentation that came with your GPS software application.
ENWW Configuring My GPS Software to Connect to My HP iPAQ's GPS Receiver 5
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Managing GPS Automatically
Your GPS-enabled HP iPAQ uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, so the operating system automatically
manages access to the HP iPAQ GPS receiver to allow multiple programs to simultaneously access
GPS data.
If your GPS-enabled HP iPAQ does not automatically discover the GPS receiver on your device, set
your GPS application's configuration settings to COM7 and a baud rate of 57600. If you need help, refer
to the documentation that came with your GPS software application.

The GPS receiver on your GPS-enabled HP iPAQ is set to COM7 and a baud rate of 57600.
ENWW Identifying the COM Port for My GPS Receiver 7
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Identifying Your HP iPAQ's Embedded Receiver
The GPS receiver in your HP iPAQ is the SiRFstarIII from SiRF and is software upgradeable. The
SiRFstarIII is a high sensitivity GPS receiver with rapid time-to-first fix technology that provides superior
location performance, so under normal use there is no need for an external antenna.
However, an optional external antenna is available if you want to use your HP iPAQ in locations that do
not provide ideal GPS reception.
8 Chapter 2 GPS ENWW
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Using an External Antenna with your GPS Receiver
Under normal use, there is no need for an external GPS antenna. However, if you want to use your HP
iPAQ in locations less favorable for GPS reception, such as inside of a car away from the windshield,
you can use an optional 3V active external antenna. Plug this antenna into the gold MMCX connector
on the left side of your HP iPAQ.
ENWW Using an External Antenna with your GPS Receiver 9
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Losing The GPS Signal While in My Car
GPS performance on the HP iPAQ may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and
windshields, which can block the HP iPAQ from receiving a GPS signal from satellites.
To improve GPS signal strength, place the HP iPAQ where there is a clear view of the sky or on the
dashboard of a vehicle that does not have thermal glass windshields. A direct line of sight is required
between the HP iPAQ and the GPS satellites to access information from the satellites.
10 Chapter 2 GPS ENWW
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Losing the GPS Signal Frequently
To improve the satellite signal to the GPS-enabled HP iPAQ, go outdoors to start the GPS navigation
software. Place the HP iPAQ where there is a clear view of the sky or on the dashboard of a vehicle
that does not have thermal glass windshields or windows.
NOTE Interference may exist close to tall buildings, large trees, and under very cloudy or
overcast skies, all of which can block the satellite signal from reaching the HP iPAQ. Try to avoid
