Welcome

Welcome to MEDION-Navigator, the navigation software for your Pocket PC.

MEDION-Navigator will give you voice directions as well as providing map and arrow displays

to guide you to your destination so that you can relax, safe in the knowledge that you will arrive at the right place. It can also be used as an electronic street map outside the car.

Beside the functions already known from the previous version of the MEDION-Navigator like manual block of road sections, import of adresses from the Contacts folder in your Pocket PC, route planning with vias etc., with the new version you can now search for special destinations in the vicinity of your car or to enter a postal code for the destination town instead of its name. The system is ready for use in any vehicle within a few seconds, the enclosed car holder is quick and easy to install. When fitting it in your vehicle, make sure the car holder is attached firmly and that it is outside the reach of airbags.

New program functions

Local search

When planning your route you can search for special destinations in the vicinity of your current position.

Entering postal codes

When searching for a location, you can enter both the name or the postal code of the town.

Selection of countries

Before entering the destination place, you may select the destination country. After this only the places of the selected country will be displayed.

Error tolerant input of places

The system also finds incompletely entered place names, e.g. "Bradford" will be found when only "ford" is entered.

Indication of miles or kilometres

You can choose whether you want the distances to be shown in kilometres/metres or in miles/yards.

Selection of maps

The program finds all maps on all kind of data media (including memory extension cards) and displays them in a list. The desired map can then be easily selected from the list.

1.3 Information about safety

1.3.1 Safety information concerning navigation

›

Drivers use MEDION-Navigator at their own risk.

›

To protect yourself and others from accidents please do not operate the navigation system while driving.

›

If you have not understood the voice directions or if you are not sure what to do at the next crossroads, you can quickly check by referring to the map or arrow display.

›

However, you should only look at the display when it is safe for you to do so!

›

The road layout and traffic signs take precedence over the directions given by the navigation system.

›

Only follow the MEDION-Navigator instructions if the traffic situation and regulations permit! MEDION-Navigator will guide you to your destination even if you have to deviate from the planned route.

›

It is best to plan your route before you set off. If you want to enter a new route when you are already travelling, simply pull off at the next car park or services.

1.3.2 Safety information about the GPS receiver

›

Do not paint over the GPS receiver. This might interfere with the reception of satellite

signals.

›

Do not use any harsh solvents for cleaning the GPS receiver. A damp cloth is sufficient!

›

Do not immerse the GPS receiver in water. Although the unit is spray-water protected,

irreparable damage might be caused if it is immersed in water.

›

Do not remove the plug by pulling the cable!

›

Do not bend the cable and make sure that it cannot be damaged by any sharp objects.

›

Do not install the cable immediately next to safety-critical equipment and supply lines.

›

After installation, test all the safety-critical equipment in the vehicle.

1.3.3 Safety information for installation in the vehicle

›

2.2 Installing the GPS receiver page 15

2.3 Installing the program files page 17

2.1 Installing the car holder with Pocket PC

Firmly click the bracket for the Pocket PC into the swan-neck attachment with the suction cup.

›

Attach the swan-neck attachment to the windscreen using the suction cup: first make sure the windscreen and the suction are clean.

›

Place the Pocket PC firmly in the bracket and press both jaws of the bracket together so that the Pocket PC is held firmly in place.

›

Connect the adapter to the bottom of the Pocket PC.

2.2 Installing the GPS receiver

2.2.1 Installation

The GPS receiver is designed to be installed inside the vehicle.

Important - please note!

GPS reception may be subject to interference if the windscreen is a heated windscreen, if a windscreen aerial is fitted or if the windscreen is metallised.

›

Place the GPS receiver as far forwards as possible under the windscreen. Lay it flat on the instrument panel and fix it in position on the instrument panel with Velcro tape. To do this fix one side of the Velcro tape to the instrument panel and the other side to the GPS receiver.

›

Insert the GPS connector cable in the socket that connects the receiver to the Pocket PC and the power supply.

›

Push the power supply plug into the cigarette lighter socket.

Important - please note!

Take the plug for the power supply to the GPS receiver out of the cigarette lighter socket at the end of the journey or if you are leaving the car parked for a longer period. Failure to do so might result in a flat battery.

2.2.2 Initialising the GPS receiver

Please switch on the Pocket PC at the main switch.

When starting up the GPS receiver for the very first time, leave it connected to the power supply for 1 to 2 hours after initialisation to make sure that the battery is fully charged. This will ensure that the GPS receiver is ready for operation within just a few seconds the next time you want to use it.

The GPS symbol shown in the upper right-hand corner of the title bar indicates the state of initialisation. An exclamation mark after a red symbol (symbol No GPS ) here

indicates that the system has not found a receiver; a red symbol with a number (symbol No signal ) indicates that a receiver has been found but that the signal is not strong enough for navigation; a green symbol with a number (symbol GPS

the receiver is ready for operation and that you can start your journey. The number shown beside the two symbols No Signal and GPS indicates the number of received satellites and consequently the quality of the GPS signal. For further information please refer to

Displaying the GPS status, page 20

) indicates that

The GPS receiver must be initialised before the navigation system is used for the first time. This process is run automatically as soon as you have connected the GPS receiver and the power supply is established. If the GPS receiver has been connected to COM 1, the GPS

symbol in the top right-hand corner will change from No GPS within 5 seconds.

As soon as the GPS symbol has changed from No Signal has been completed and you can start your journey. Please note that the GPS receiver may require up to 20 minutes to determine your position when it is first initialised. The power supply should not be interrupted during this process, as this would also interrupt the reception of satellite data. You would then have to start again from the beginning the next time you switch the unit on. We recommend that you wait at least 15 minutes when you use the GPS

receiver for the first time, even if the symbol for a GPS signal being present displayed.

This initialisation process only gas to be carried out once when you first use the system. After this is will take no more than 30 seconds before a GPS signal is present.

If the GPS receiver has not been used for a longer period (about one week) it may require re-initialisation. However, it will take 2 minutes max. to initialise the receiver.

1.4 Displaying the GPS window

The GPS window can be opened from any window:

› Touch the GPS symbol in the upper right-hand corners of the title bar.

The following information is displayed about the current GPS status:

A. Greenwich Mean Time: London time without

summer time

B. Current Position: Degrees of longitude east and

degrees of latitude north

C. Number of satellites received

D. H-DOP (Horizontal Dilution of Precision): This

indicates the quality of position determination. Theoretically any value from 0 to 50 is possible, with the following being applicable: the smaller the value, the more accurate the position determination (value 0 = no deviation from the actual position). In practice any value < 0.8 is not possible using a GPS receiver; the value of 0.8 is considered to be very accurate, while values up to 8 are acceptable.

E. Quality Index: This indicates whether the GPS receiver is providing a signal that is

suitable for navigation. It can only accept values of 0 or 1. A Quality Index value of 1 indicates that an adequate signal is present, while a value of 0 indicates that the signal is not suitable for navigation. The value is also reflected in the GPS symbol display: If the

value equals zero, the symbol No signal one, the green symbol GPS

is shown.

(red symbol) appears, if the value equals

F. Closes the GPS window.

The Quality Index and H-DOP may be useful indicators for troubleshooting if problems should arise with your GPS receiver and you want to use our customer support service. We therefore recommend that you write down these values as well as all the other information displayed in the GPS window before contacting customer support.

Please note:

If no GPS receiver is connected or if the power supply is interrupted (symbol

), this

window merely shows the information that no GPS receiver has been found.

3.1 General information about GPS

The Global Positioning System, or GPS for short, is a satellite-based system used to determine the geographical position of a GPS receiver on the earth’s surface.

The system is based on 24 satellites that circle the earth along defined paths. They send out signals that are received by the GPS receiver, allowing the receiver to calculate its position in terms of geographical longitude and latitude.

The receiver needs at least 3 satellites for an initial fix on the position. However, while travelling, the GPS receiver can determine the position even if there are fewer than 3 satellites within range for a few seconds, provided that it has already calculated a position before that.

To be able to determine the position correctly, the receiver needs to receive direct signals from the GPS satellites, without any delay. In other words, the GPS receiver needs a “clear view” of the satellites. Metallic materials, such as the car roof, screen out these signals, high-rise buildings on both sides reduce the receiver’s coverage and glass surfaces may reflect the satellite signals, which could reduce the receiver’s performance. Dense foliage, e.g. an avenue of trees, may also reduce the quality of reception on account of the water in the leaves.

Map material is also required to allow the GPS signals to be used for navigation. This map material must be available in a digitised, vectorised form so that the route can be calculated with the aid of mathematical functions. This involves the map data being reconciled with the incoming signal so that the route to a defined destination point can be calculated.

3.2 Entering a destination

›

Touch Navigation in the M AIN MENU.

›

The E NTER DESTINATION window opens.

There are four available options for inputting the destination:



You can select a destination from the database for place names.



You can select special destinations in the vicinity of the car.



You can select saved destinations.



You can select a destination from the MS Outlook Contacts list.

Once you have planned your route in the route planning mode, you can also define one of the points on the route as the destination point if the GPS receiver is connected. This can be done either with or without the route having been calculated in advance.

For detailed instructions please refer to:

6.10 Special features when using the route planner with a GPS receiver, page 51

3.2.1 Selecting a destination from the database of place names

6.10 Special features when using the route planner with a GPS

receiver

6.10.1 Using route points and route lists for navigation

In conjunction with a GPS receiver you can use all route points directly as destination points for the navigation process, without first having to display the route on the map. Since all the entered route points are saved in a list that remains stored if you have exited the program and then restart it, you can plan a route at home if you wish, and then use it for navigation.

Assuming that you calculated a route with several vias the night before and now want to use that route for navigation, you should proceed as follows:

› Touch Route planning in the M AIN MENU.

A list opens up showing the route points that you have used to calculate your route (see illustration).

›

AP TRANSFER

Topics covered in this chapter:

3.1 General information page 64

3.2 Map transfer page 64

3.1 General information

Maps are transferred using the MapExport Tool, which generates the map data for use in

Windows Pocket PC 2002/2003.

The map transfer is a two-step operation:

1. Storing the generated map on the PC’s hard disk (map export)

2. Transferring the map from the hard disk to the Pocket PC or to a memory expansion unit via a map reading device (map transfer).

These two steps may be carried out directly one after the other, but this is not essential. Since every map that is generated is stored on your PC’s hard disk, you can transfer the map to the Pocket PC at a later stage if you wish. This might be sensible if you are generating several map sections first and want to save them on the hard disk before transferring them to the Pocket PC.

Two progress bars indicate the progress of the map export. Depending on the data volume and your PC’s performance it may take several hours to generate a map. The subsequent transfer to the Pocket PC or to a Pocket PC memory expansion unit via a map reading device takes up to 2 hours.

If you want to transfer the supplied and already exported map of GB+Ireland with major road network of Europe to your PDA, you can do this by transferring it directly to the PDA from the relevant map CD-ROM, i.e. without first storing the map section on the hard drive of your Desktop PC.

Appendix

HAT DO I DO IF…?

Here are some possible solutions to the problems most frequently reported to our customer support service in relation to the MEDION-Navigator software.

If the symbol No GPS is still displayed even though the system has been correctly installed and the GPS receiver has been correctly connected, this may be due to one of the following reasons:

A. Check that the LED on the connector inserted in the cigarette lighter socket is lit. If not,

please check the fuse in the connector.

The initialisation of the COM port was not successful:

›

Touch Settings in the MAIN MENU.

›

Select GPS configuration from the drop-down menu in the SETTINGS window.

›

Reactivate COM1.

›

Touch Save changes.

B. The GPS receiver is connected to a different port – not COM 1:

›

Touch Settings in the MAIN MENU.

›

Select GPS configuration from the drop-down menu in the SETTINGS window.

›

Enable COM1 – COM6 ports one after the other while keeping an eye on the GPS symbols shown in the top right-hand corner: if this changes from

have selected the correct COM port.

to or you

› Touch Save changes.

The symbol does not change to .

A. When you first use the MEDION-Navigator it can take up to 20 minutes before the GPS

receiver has found all satellites and has been initialised.

See also: 2.2.2 Initialising the GPS receiver, page 15

B. GPS reception may be subject to interference if the windscreen is a heated windscreen or

if the windscreen is metallised. Using a GPS receiver inside the car can therefore impair the function of the navigation system considerably and is not recommended. You should use a GPS receiver that can be fitted on the outside of the vehicle.

The symbol frequently changes to .

The list of destinations is not accepting addresses from Outlook/Contacts

A. Please note that only the addresses contained in the map data stock can be incorporated.

If an address cannot be uniquely allocated, e.g. if the map contains several locations with the same place name, these will be listed together with the postal code and district. Highlight the appropriate location and touch OK. If an address cannot be allocated at all, e.g. because no town was specified or because the town was not found on the map, a message appears to indicate that the address was not found. If this happens the address will not appear in the Contacts list.

B. Please note that the following information



First name and surname



Town and postal code



Street and house number

must have been entered in the correct fields of your Outlook/Contacts directory. The MEDION-Navigator tries to allocate the entries in the above-mentioned fields to locations on the map. For instance, if you have also entered the details of the town and the postal code in the Street field in Outlook/Contacts, MEDION-Navigator will not be able to find this entry in the map. Consequently it cannot allocated the address to a destination.

When I export the map the MapExport Tool no longer responds to inputs

The MapExport Tool has to carry out a large number of complicated algorithms to export the map to the Pocket PC. The MapExport Tool is intensely busy with the algorithms and is not accepting any inputs because of the PC’s performance. Wait until MapExport has exported the map section, the routes or the entire map.

Please note that exporting an entire map can take several hours, depending on the computing power of the PC.

The installation on the Pocket PC was unsuccessful, even though a link was established with ActiveSync®

Install the MEDION-Navigator on the Pocket PC as follows:

›

In the ACTIVESYNC® window click on the Extras/Software menu.

›

Enable the check box for “MEDION-Navigator”.

›

Click on OK.

If the installation is still not carried out, please reinstall the ActiveSync

program.

MEDION-Navigator is very slow during route planning and navigation and is very sluggish on entries

›

Please exit MEDION-Navigator.

›

Then check how much program memory is available on your Pocket PC (see user’s guide for your Pocket PC). To function properly, the MEDION-Navigator requires at least 10 MB free program memory on your Pocket PC.

›

If necessary, carry out a soft reset on the Pocket PC.
