INTRODUCTION
If you’re constantly on the road but hate to hassle with paper maps, let the
Socket Bluetooth GPS Nav Kit steer you in the right direction. It’s the ideal
solution for in-car navigation with a Pocket PC.
The in-car navigation software features human voice prompts, including
detailed turn-by-turn directions. The software automatically re-calculates
your journey in case you veer off course. It’s a great solution for door-todoor routing or just visiting unfamiliar territory.
All you need is a Bluetooth-enabled Pocket
PC 2000 or Pocket PC 2002. The included
Bluetooth GPS Receiver allows you to take
advantage of your Pocket PC’s Bluetooth
capability to wirelessly add GPS positioning
technology. If your Pocket PC does not have
Bluetooth functionality, it’s easy to add with
Socket’s Bluetooth Connection Kit
(CompactFlash or SDIO card with userfriendly software).
Socket highly recommends that all users register their product. Registered
users receive priority for technical support and may qualify for for upgrades
on map data. You can register online at: www.socketcom.com/prodreg/

STEP 2: Install the Software
N
P
Follow these instructions to install the Socket MyNavigator software:
1. Make an active connection between the mobile computer and a host PC
(e.g., via ActiveSync).
An active connection exists if data can move between the mobile
computer and host PC via a serial/Ethernet/USB cable or cradle.
2. Insert the Socket MyNavigator Installation CD into your host PC. If
you are using the U.S. version of the Nav Kit, insert Disk 1.

memory. Map Loader conveniently detects and reports how much space is
available on your main memory and/or memory card. If you have a lot of
storage space available, you can choose to load maps by state (U.S.
version), or region (U.K. version). If you have only limited storage space
available, you can choose to load the maps for a particular city.
Starting the Program

status LED will blink green when a GPS fix is achieved.
3. Perform a Bluetooth device discovery on your Pocket PC to find the
Bluetooth GPS Receiver. Refer to the user documentation for your
Bluetooth device for instructions.
4. Pair and bond with the Bluetooth GPS Receiver. While bonding, when
your device requests a passkey, enter
documentation for your Bluetooth device for instructions.
Note:
• If you are using a Socket Bluetooth Card, you must set the Bluetooth
GPS Receiver as your Favorite COM Port. From the Bluetooth
Devices folder, tap Tools | My Favorites | COM Port and select the
BTGPS as your favorite COM port device.
• You only need to discover, bond with, and pair with the Bluetooth
GPS Receiver the first time you use it with MyNavigator.

7. The Bluetooth connection for MyNavigator must be set to the correct
COM port. Depending on the device you are using for Bluetooth
connectivity, you may or may not need to modify the COM port setting.
Note: The baud rate must be set to 4800 to work with the Bluetooth GPS
Receiver. This is the default baud rate and needs no modification.
No modifications needed
You do NOT need to modify the COM port setting if you are using one
of the following devices for Bluetooth connectivity:
• Socket Bluetooth Card: If you are using the Socket Bluetooth Card
and already set the Bluetooth GPS Receiver as your favorite Serial
COM Port, then MyNavigator will automatically detect and use the
appropriate COM port.

default is COM8, which is compatible with these iPAQ Pocket PCs.
Modifications needed to access the correct COM port
If you are not
using one of the Bluetooth devices listed above, then you
must modify the COM port setting in MyNavigator to work with your
Bluetooth device. To modify the COM port setting:
a) Determine which COM port number your Bluetooth device uses for
serial COM port connections. If necessary, refer to the user
documentation for your Bluetooth device.
b) At the bottom of the screen, tap Tools | GPS Options | COM Port.
c) Select the correct COM port for your Bluetooth device.
