1.1 Important information

For safety reasons, the driver must not make entries whilst driving. The instructions issued by the navigation system are recommendations. The road traffic regulations must be observed in all cases.

Thermally insulated glass or windscreens with metallic coating reduce the GPS reception a lot. Usually this type of coating is omitted at a special place behind which the navigation unit can be fitted. If that is not the case, a commercially available GPS aerial has to be fitted outside, e.g. on the roof of the vehicle.

1.2 Alternative installation of navigation software from a memory card

The software for your navigation system can also be directly installed from an appropriately prepared memory card. Preinstalled software may have to be de-installed first (see device manual).

On first-time set-up you will be requested to install the navigation software. Please proceed as follows:

a.Carefully remove the memory card from the packaging. Please take care not to touch contacts or allow them to become soiled.

b.Insert the memory card in the SD/MMC slot until it clicks into place.

c.Click OK to install the application.

Once all data has been copied to your navigation system, the main window will be displayed in which you can now perform the navigation settings.

Note

Please take note that a valid GPS signal must be received and the time zone needs to be set after the installation of the software, so that the correct arrival time can be calculated in future route calculations.

1.3 Further map material

Your navigation system is already supplied ex works with a digitalised map of your country in its internal memory. Further digitalised maps may be added to those in the internal memory. Depending on the version, further digitalised maps will be featured on your CD/DVD. These maps may be immediately transferred to a memory card whereby the use of an external card reader is recommended (see device manual).

Depending on the extent of the map material, memory cards with 256 MB,512 MB,1,024 MB or larger are required.

Note

Please note that some of the devices do not include memory cards in the delivery. In these units the installation and map files have already been loaded. The installation will run automatically.

Additional memory cards (MMC or SD cards) are stocked by specialist stores.

1.4 Transferring map material to a memory card

Transferring further map material to a memory card is best performed via your PC explorer. Please proceed as follows:

a.Insert the CD/DVD with the required map material.

b.Open your workplace and select your CD/DVD drive.

c.Copy the file with the .psf extension from the directory of the region you require from the CD/DVD to the directory MapRegions on your memory card.

You can transfer several files of map material to your memory card, depending on the size of the latter. Please hereby ensure that there is sufficient storage space on your memory card.

1.5 Transferring installation files and map material to the internal

memory

Your device features an internal, non-volatile memory Contained in the \My Flash Disk folder. Via ActiveSync® you can use the Search option to display this and further folders. Manipulations to folders and files can be performed as in an explorer.

The necessary folders must be created to make installation files and map material available to the device.

Create the INSTALL folder (\My Flash Disk\INSTALL) for the installation files. Store map material in the MapRegions (\My Flash Disk\MapRegions) folder. On naming folders please observe the writing forms specified above.

Should additional data be stored on your navigation device, please note that sufficient capacity must be available on transferring data. If this is not the case, remove files that are not required.

Note

The navigation system must be linked to the computer via ActiveSync® (see device manual) for data transfer.

1.6 Data transfer (GoPal Assistant)

You can use the GoPal Assistant to transfer navigation software installation files and map data. To do

this, install GoPal Assistant on your PC using the CD/DVD.
