Important Message

IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING THE USE OF MAPKING BY VEHICLE DRIVER

TO ENSURE SAFETY DRIVING, WE STRONGLY ADVISE THAT A DRIVER SHOULD NOT

OPERATE MAPKING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SIMULTANEOULSY. A DRIVER

SHOULD NEVER FOCUS HIS OR HER ATTENTION ON THE MAPKING DISPLAY WHILE

DRIVING.

In case MapKing needs to be used inside a vehicle, we suggest that it should be operated by a

passenger other than the driver or the driver should stop the vehicle at a convenient spot

before starting to use MapKing.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING ROUTE PLANNING

The route planning function of MapKing is ONLY meant to be and should ONLY be used as a

crude reference. IT SHOULD NEVER BE USED TO DETERMINE ACTUAL DRIVING

DIRECTIONS. The route planning function of MapKing is subject to the following limitations:

 Whilst we have taken great care and endeavors in developing the product, we CANNOT

guarantee that the road network data and routing calculations of MapKing are free of

any omission or defect.

 The road network and traffic conditions in the real world are ever changing; MapKing

being a pre-packaged product cannot reflect all these changes on a constant basis.

 Road network parameters specifically required for route planning, like one-way traffic

indicator or turn restrictions at street crossing, are difficult or almost impossible to obtain

for China or some other Asian countries. The lack of these data would significantly affect

the performance of route planning.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING GPS TRACKING

The GPS tracking function of MapKing works on GPS satellite signals broadcasted for civilian

use. It is subject to inherent signal deviations and environmental interferences caused by

surroundings and bad weather. We cannot guarantee nor specify a precise level of accuracy for

the GPS positioning data displayed by MapKing. It should also be noted that the Unites States

Department of Defence, who builds and operates the GPS system, is free to turn off or

down-grade the civilian signals of GPS during rare occasions like regional military conflict.

Although MapKing should work with most GPS receivers on NMEA0183 signal output format

regardless of their brand name or model; we cannot guarantee that MapKing integrates

flawlessly with ALL GPS receivers available in the market.
