2.1 Installing the software
2.1.1 Inserting the memory card into the device
Insert the memory
card into the device…
Before using MobileNavigator you must insert the memory card
containing the cartographic data into the device.
1. Unpack the memory card carefully. Pay attention not to touch
contacts and not to make them dirty.
2. Hold the memory card

Note: The memory card must stay inserted in the device while
you are using the navigation system. If you remove the card
while using the system, it executes a soft reset and prompts you
to insert the memory card.

The brand logo is being displayed for a short time. The
installation procedure starts automatically. After a few
seconds, the registration wizard starts which guides you
through the registration procedure.
Note: Depending on the battery charging state, it may happen
that you have to charge the device for a while before the
installation may be executed.
2.1.3 Transmitting maps to a memory card
Transmit maps to a
memory card…
Detailed instructions on transmitting maps to the memory card
may be found in the separate manual in the enclosure.
On your MobileNavigator DVD 1, you will find the Installer-
Tool which guides you through the map transmitting procedure.
You will need a PC to transmit maps from the DVD to a memory
card. We recommend using a card reader as this works much
faster than transmitting data via an ActiveSync connection.
Note: Maps for which you have not purchased the right of use
must be licensed. You may transmit maps without license to a
memory card, but you may not use them for navigation and
route planning purposes.
The Installer-Tool allows you to purchase map licenses.
Proceed as follows:
1. Insert the MobileNavigator DVD 1 into your DVD - drive.
2. The Installer-Tool Starts automatically. Follow the
instructions on the screen.
Note: In case the Installer-Tool does not start automatically,
start the Windows-Explorer. Select the directory of your DVD
drive and double-click the "Setup.exe" file.
2.1.4 Restoring the files of the memory card
Survey In case you have lost or damaged the provided memory card,
you will find all files, which are necessary for restore on your
MobileNavigator DVD 1.
You will need a PC for restoring the files. You may transmit the
files via an ActiveSync connection or via a card reader.
Note: ActiveSync must be installed on your PC. For detailed
information, please refer to the manual of your PNA.
Restore the files of
the memory card…
Before you begin - 9 -
1. Connect your PC and your Pocket PC via ActiveSync.
2. Insert the MobileNavigator DVD-ROM 1 into your DVD -
drive.
3. The Installer-Tool Starts automatically. Follow the
instructions on the screen.

Attention: The mounted holder must not interfere with the
driver’s attention to traffic.
Mounting the

1. Attach the cradle of the device to the swan-neck mount.
Note: Take notice of the inscription on the swan-neck mount.
The arrow with the inscription close must show in snap-on
direction. The connection must snap on audibly.
2. Place the suction cup on the windscreen. Press the lever
firmly to the windscreen before switching it.
3. Insert the device into its holder. First place the bottom of the
device correctly, then push it backwards until it snaps into the

2.3 The basic principle of navigation
MobileNavigator The time of complicated and frustrating inquiries on the right way
in folded maps is over. From now on MobileNavigator, your
navigation system, will guide you, based on satellite information,
quickly and safely to your destination.
GPS-based
navigation
The Global Positioning System (GPS) has originally been
developed in the 70ies, as a weapon guidance system for the
American forces.
The GPS is based on 24 satellites, which are in orbit round the
earth and which are permanently emitting signals. The GPS
receiver receives these signals and calculates, based on the
runtime of the signals, his distance from the respective satellites.
This information serves for calculation your current geographic
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.
Navigation with GPS The delivered maps contain the geographic coordinates of the
points of interest, streets and towns they represent. Thus the
navigation system can calculate a route from a given start point
to a given destination point.
In case your navigation system receives the signals of at least
three satellites it may determine your current position and
represent it on the map. This position may then serve as start
point for navigation purposes.
As the determination and representation of your position is
carried out once a second, you may watch your movements on
the map.

2.4 Important safety information
Note In your own interest, read the following notices and safety
information carefully before starting up your navigation system.
2.4.1 Safety information on navigation
Use of MobileNavigator is executed at your own risk.
Caution: To protect yourself and others from accidents please do
not operate the navigation system while driving!
Caution: You must not look at the display except when it is
absolutely safe to do so!
Caution: The road layout and the traffic signs are absolutely
prior to the instructions of the navigation system.
Caution: You must not follow the instructions of
MobileNavigator except when the circumstances and the road
traffic regulations allow doing so. MobileNavigator will guide
you to your destination even when you have left your planned
itinerary.
Note: We recommend effecting 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.

User's manual MobileNavigator | 5
2.4.2 Safety information on handling the PNA
Caution: As it is not waterproof, do not expose your navigation
device to water! For example, protect it from rain, snow or hail
when you are on your way by bike or on foot.
Caution: Disconnect the navigation device from the power
supply when you are leaving the car parked for a long period of
time. Failure to do so might result in a dead battery since the
internal GPS receiver constantly consumes electricity.
Note: Do not use any harsh solvents for cleaning the PNA. A
damp, lint-free cloth is sufficient!
Note: Do not unplug by pulling the cable. This might damage the
cable!
2.4.3 Safety information on the installation in the vehicle
Caution: Do not fix the holder within the deployment zone of
airbags.
Caution: When you install the holder, please check that it may
not constitute any safety risk, even in case of an accident.

4.1 Two different user modes
Survey MobileNavigator can be operated in two different user modes:
Standard and Extended. This grants an optimum of usability for
each user: Less experienced users and users who do not need
using the complete functionality of the software work in standard
mode. Experienced users who are ready to spend some time in
getting used to operate the complete functionality word in
extended mode.
Some configuration settings have an effect on the work in
standard mode but can only be changed in extended mode. For
