1.1 Important safety information
Note In your own interest, read the following notices and safety
information carefully before starting up your navigation system.
1.1.1 Safety information on navigation
The use of NCK may only be effected at your own risk.
Attention: To protect yourself and others from accidents please
do not operate the navigation system while driving!
Attention: You must not look at the display except when it is
absolutely safe to do so!
Attention: The road layout and the traffic signs are absolutely
prior to the instructions of the navigation system.
Attention: You must not follow the instructions of NCK except
when the circumstances and the road traffic regulations allow
doing so. NCK will guide you to your destination even when y ou
have left your planned itinerary..
Note: We recommend to effect route planning before beginning
the journey. If you are on the road and you want to establish a
new itinerary, please drive to the next parking site!
Note: If you have not understood the instructions or if you are
not sure about what to do next you may quickly refer to the map
or arrow view of your navigation system.

1.1.2 Safety information on the GPS receiver
Attention: As it is not waterproof, don’t expose your GPS
receiver to water!
Attention: Do not install the cable next to security relevant
equipment and supply lines.
Attention: Please check the security relevant equipment when
you have installed the navigation system.
Attention: The GPS receiver should be disconnected from the
power supply while your car is parking. As it spends energy
permanently you might risk discharging the car battery.
Attention: The installation of the GPS receiver must not interfere
with the sure operation of your car.
Note: Do not varnish the GPS receiver. Doing so might impede
the reception of GPS signals.
Note: Do not use any harsh solvents for cleaning the GPS
receiver. A damp cloth is sufficient! You might damage the case
of the GPS receiver.
Note: Do not unplug by pulling the cable. This might damage the
cable!
Note: Do not fold the cable. Check that the cable may not be
damaged by any sharp object.
1.1.3 Safety information on the installation in the vehicle

2.1 Operating Mode of your Navigon Configuration Kit
NCK The NAVIGON Configuration Kit (NCK) is a professional
navigation solution tailor-made for industrial customers.
Alongside the pure navigation function, the NCK also offers extra
functions relevant to B2B customers. The system, for example,
can be used offroad as a navigation aid. Undigitalised routes can
be saved as routes (tracks) and driven. In addition, data from the
customer directory can be directly transferred to the NCK; in
doing so, addresses are directly converted into coordinates and
established as destinations.
Linking the NCK to existing systems for tour planning, contract
planning or goods management is possible by means of the
settings in the INI files. This individualised navigation solution
also enables you to tap into complete networks, connections as
well as warehouse and customer locations.
Mobility is the decisive factor for even more comfortable
navigation systems. Nowadays, systems must not be built-in into
the vehicle. The user must be able to carry them with him. The
navigation software being installed on a laptop, a PDA or on
another Windows CE client e.g. Skeye.Pad, its use is no more
restricted to one single vehicle. Its service may be requested in
different situations.
By returning the current GPS position, it is possible to check at
any time where the vehicle is located. Alongside this, the status
of the navigation can be called up at any time, hence the current
distance and duration to destination can be simply conveyed.
This way you can plan your tours efficiently.
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) ensures you detour traffic jams –
enabling your company fleet to be en route with the shortest
possible standing times. As a free-of-charge service, TMC reports
on current jams and guides the driver to a jam-free alternative
route in order to save valuable time. It is possible to use this
service in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, F rance, Belgium,
the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Denmark. In this way you
can adapt the navigation software to your own route
requirements at any time. The portrayal of company-specific
destinations (user-defined POIs) in the map round off the
NAVIGON Configuration Kit.
.INI Commands With NCK you may easily realise the connection to third-party
systems (like route planning, order processing or resource
planning) for transmitting coordinates or address information by
entering .INI parameters.
For detailed information on the .INI commands, please refer to
Special NCK functions" page 97.

destination. It is the perfect tool for increasing the efficiency of

the GPS
Maps The supplied maps also include geographical coordinates for the
Traffic information
with TMC
Based on satellites the Global Positioning System (GPS)
determines your current geographical position. The GPS has
originally been developed as a weapon guidance system for the
American forces.
The GPS is based on 24 satellites which are in orbit round the
earth. They are permanently emitting the time and their current
position. The GPS receiver receives this information and
calculates the longitude and the latitude of its own act ual
position.
The signals of at least three satellites are needed to determine
the longitude and the latitude. With the signals of at least four
satellites the elevation may be calculated, too. The determination
has an accuracy of about 3 yards.
points of interest, roads and towns. The navigation system can
therefore calculate a path from a starting point to a destination.
If your navigation system receives the signals from at least 3
satellites it can determine your position and show it on the map.
This position can serve as a starting point for a route calculation.
As a position definition and illustration takes place once per
second you can follow your current position on the map at any
time.
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) provides the navigation
system with the latest traffic information. A TMC module which is
available as accessory receives these signals broadcasted by
radio stations.
Operating mode of
the TMC
The traffic situation on highways, motorways, and other routes is
checked by jam sensors or by the police and other persons. The
collected traffic data is transmitted to traffic guidance centres
where they are evaluated and sent to the radio stations. The
stations are broadcasting the data inaudibly via RDS (Radio Data
Signal).
The TMC-receiver extracts the TMC data from the RDS signal and
provides the navigation software with them. Current traffic
obstructions may then be displayed. The reported obstructions
may be considered for route calculation. In case of obstructions
on the computed itinerary they may be used for computing an
alternative route which evades the obstruction.
NCK features dynamic navigation which is well adapted to the
current traffic situation.

The initialisation process of the GPS receiver starts automatically.
Within 15 seconds, the GPS-icon on your Pocket PC switches from
No GPS to No signal.
As soon as the signals of more than 3 satellites are being
received, the GPS-icon switches to GPS ready.

No signal
GPS ready
This procedure may take about 20 minutes. When the GPS icon
becomes GPS ready earlier, it would be good to leave the GPS
receiver turned on for about 15 more minutes in order to grant
its correct operation.
The initialisation process is finished when the reception of more
than 3 satellites is assured after about 20 seconds.
Note: This initialisation process must be carried out only once.
The other times, the GPS receiver will be ready within about one
minute.
Note: When the GPS receiver is connected to the power supply
for the first time, leave it connected for about 2 hours in order to
charge its battery.
Note: A new initialisation may become necessary when the GPS
receiver has not been in use. In this case, the initialisation
process would take about 10 minutes.
Caution: Disconnect the receiver from the power supply when
you are leaving the car parked for a longer period. Failure to do
so might result in a flat battery as the receiver consumes
electricity permanently.
For details on the operation of your GPS receiver, please refer to
User interface and basic functionality", page 28.
