This guide is designed to get your new GPS bundle up and
running quickly. For additional information, see the manual on
the Mapopolis CD-ROM included with your bundle.

Safety Warning:

Do not attempt to view the viewer handheld
while driving. Pull over to the side of the road to

view or modify maps.

1 Installing Map opolis & Maps on Your

Handheld

Place the Mapopolis CD-ROM into your
CD-ROM drive. The Map Loader software will automatically start.
The first time that the CD is run, the “Install Palm Application”
check box will already be checked. If you ever need to re-install
the Mapopolis Map Viewer software on your handheld, simply
re-check this box.

Next, choose one or more maps, by choosing a state or province
and then searching for a place name or choosing a county. Click
on a county name to place th e map in the “Files to be installed”
list. If necessary, you can click on the map name in the “Files to

Install App Checkbox

be installed” list to remove it. When you are done, click on the
“Install Files” button to begin the synchronization of the maps
and viewer to your ha ndheld.

2 Connecting Your GPS Device

QUICK TIP: Take the time to decide
where you will be placing the GPS
receiver, where your handheld will go,
and how you intend to route the cables.
Planning this out will prevent possible
frustrations while using the GPS
solution.

We recommend the GPS -antenna unit be placed on the roof (it
has a magnetic base) or on the dashboard for best satellite­reception. Depending on the model of car that you have, you
may find that you are left with excess cable when the unit is set
up. We recommend tucking this into a corner of the dashboard
or using one of the included twist-ties to secure it.

We recommend using a window or dash mount to secure your
PalmTM handheld & position it for easy viewing.

Your GPS unit consists of two pieces: a small box with a cable
(the GPS unit) and a cable with a cigarette lighter adapter. There
is a round connector on both the cable with the cigarette lighter
adapter and on the end of the gray box’s cable, line up the
arrows and connect the two connectors.
