2 Getting Started

2.1 Terminology

• Position Fixed - a sufficient number of GPS

satellites in view to indicate your real time position. Also referred to as "locked in".

• Way Point - A position marker that can be used

to help create a multiple point route or to mark a position for future reference. Also referred to as a "My Point" or "Via Point".

• Memory Card - Some WorldNav systems are

equipped with a memory card for storage of maps and software and may also be able to store entertainment files such as music and movie files.

• Tools Icon - returns you from the Navigation

Mode into the Map Mode. Will appear as a red arrow when in Navigation Mode.

Getting Started

2.2 Quick Start Guide

TeleType offers commercial truck drivers the ability to specify the characteristics of the vehicle and type of load being carried in order to provide suitable routing taking into account road restrictions such as bridge clearances, load limits, dangerous turns, hazmat, and more. If you have purchased a device which offers the commercial truck routing feature, you can follow the information below to learn more about the features designed for truck drivers. For complete details on how to enter addresses continue reading this user guide. The GPS navigation devices are available in three screen sizes, 7 inch, 5 inch and 3.5 inch (measured diagonally). The GPS software operates the same way on all three devices.

1. Attach your GPS system to the windshield by

putting the suction cup on the window. It is best to allow the device to rest on the dash (while also mounted to the windshield) so as to minimize the possibility of damage to the device or mount.

WorldNav Navigation Software

2. Turn the device on, press the <Navigation>

button.

3. Press the button to begin using your

GPS.

4. The WorldNav GPS will automatically lock into

your current position provided that the device has clear view of the sky; no configuration is required. The GPS will know your direction of travel once you begin to move.

5. If the GPS has not yet locked into position, you will see <Where To> and <Menu> at the top of the map screen. The map will display the last known position centered into the target area. Press <Where To> on the screen to create new route.

6. Notice the bright pink lines on the map indicating restricted roads for trucks. When you are in any of the truck routing modes, the GPS will attempt to avoid these areas.

Getting Started

Restricted Roads Shown in Pink Color

7. To learn more about why the road is restricted,

place your target point over the pink road and press <Menu> then press <Info> or tap in the middle of the red crosshairs. The display will provide restriction information for that point. In the example below, the restriction is due to height restriction of 11' 0". (See Section 5.4)

Restriction Information

WorldNav Navigation Software

8. When entering addresses, the GPS will first prompt you to enter the state (you can spell the state or the abbreviation). The next screen is used for entering the city, the third screen is for entering the house number (leave blank if you do not know the street). Press <Next> and enter the street name (leave blank if unknown). See details earlier in the user guide under "Getting Started" (Section 2.5). Note that if the street name contains a number such as 61st Street, you can toggle the <ABC> button to become <123> so that you can enter the number.

9. Enter your destination by Address, Intersection or Service (a chain Truck Stop such as Loves, Flying J’s, Pilot or Petro, as well as independent truck stops). Note that intersections are only for use with local roads; they are not intended for use in finding Exits on highways.

10. Once the route has been created, the GPS will display the route from your current location to the selected location.

Getting Started

11. When the GPS is locked into position you will

hear “GPS ready to navigate.” You will also see your position on the map indicated by the big red arrow. The <Where To> and <Menu> buttons will disappear.

12. To hear a repeat of the upcoming navigation

instruction, tap the upper right hand portion of the screen.

13. Note that routing and re-rerouting may take

longer than expected if you are familiar with other GPS systems as this system is analyzing over 350,000 miles of truck restrictions before creating the route.

14. Updates are performed by exchanging your

current memory card for a new memory card which will contain any updates in maps and software to keep your GPS unit current. In some cases, depending on the GPS model, updates can be accomplished via internet download.

WorldNav Navigation Software

2.3 Preferences and My Points Transfer

The WorldNav GPS allows you to import your stored GPS data points from older WorldNav software for use with your new software. To import these points, insert your new memory card. On the "I Agree" screen, tap the memory card icon in the bottom left corner (as shown below) and follow the on-screen instructions.

2.5 Navigation Overview

Now that you are familiar with WorldNav features you are ready to begin navigating. When you turn on your device the GPS will search to acquire satellite signal. Once you have locked into the signal you can simply press <Where To> and enter a destination (either by address, service or other desired option) to navigate from your current location. If you are indoors or unable to pick up a satellite signal, you may want to set your home address manually. You can also create routes by entering start and end addresses for later use.

When you are driving, the screen will display your location en route and you will be given voice instructions for when and where to turn as well as a Lane Assist feature indicating which lane to move to for your upcoming turn. State borderlines are displayed on the screen which allow you to more easily document crossing state lines. Your destination will be indicated on the map with a checkered flag. Once you have reached your destination the route will be cleared and will be ready to navigate to your next destination.

WorldNav Navigation Software

2.6 Map Mode

The WorldNav software allows you to switch between Navigation and Map mode. You will automatically be in Navigation mode when you travel with the GPS locked into position. If you choose to browse the map, simply touch the screen anywhere on the map area, and you will then see a plus and minus symbol which will allow you to zoom in and out. You can use your finger to drag the map in any direction as desired. Road colors will vary based on the type of road. For example, in Day Mode, the colors of the roads are as follows:

• Gray - Residential

•

Yellow - County or State

• Orange - Highway

• Green - State Preferred Truck Route

•

Pink - Truck Restricted Road

When you see "Where To" and "Menu" on the screen that means you are in Map mode. If your GPS is locked into position you can touch the red arrow (tools icon) on the bottom left of the screen to get back to the navigation mode.

Getting Started

When the "Where to" and "Menu" buttons disappear it means you are in Navigation mode and the map will automatically orient in the direction of travel. The following pictures show Map Mode and Navigation Mode with a route in progress.

The Nav Panel colors will vary based on type of road. The colors are as follows:

• Gray - Lost Signal (such as a tunnel)

•

Red - Restricted Area (get out!)

• Green - Navigation Mode

• Blue - Simulator Mode

6 Troubleshooting Questions

1. Why are some streets unlabeled? In 3D mode,

only major thoroughfares are shown. Change to 2D mode and manually adjust the zoom level to see more labeled streets.

2. What if the GPS cannot locate my destination address? Check the town or city name. Often you find the street is located in a town named differently from what you were provided. Some addresses may not be listed. Change the route to locate the nearest intersection, or nearest town instead.

3. What if it seems the device is not showing my true location? Sometimes, the device takes a few minutes to lock in on the satellite signal, after which your true location will be shown.

4. Sometimes the GPS indicates a house number

to be in a different part of the block, why?

House numbers are estimated positions within the block. Typically the GPS will put you within a few feet of the actual position. Also, in some

133

Troubleshooting Questions

congested or mountainous areas, the position will be off from true position.

5. Why is my GPS showing several miles to go to destination and I am already there? Most likely the address you have entered is on the other side of a major highway and the GPS is asking you to go forward, turn around and go back to the other side of the highway. Be assured, there is nothing wrong with the GPS device.

6. I am near an airport and my GPS is unable to obtain a position, what is wrong? Due to increased national security concerns, the GPS signal is often scrambled or shut down near airports and military installations.

7. Why when I select “Avoid Tolls” I sometimes get routed on a toll road? In rare cases where the avoidance of tolls would be impossible or result in an extremely long route, the route will be created ignoring the avoid tolls request. A warning message will appear.

WorldNav Navigation Software

134

8. What is "Allow County Roads"? A County

Road may be smaller and more difficult to drive on, however it is still a truck permitted road. Avoiding county roads may cause longer routes.

9. How do I transfer maps onto my device? The

WorldNav does not require maps to be transferred. All maps and services are already pre-loaded onto your device. To transfer your stored data points from your existing program, press the memory card icon (in the bottom left corner) on the "I Agree" screen and follow the instructions (See Section 1.3). To be informed of future updates please register at www.teletype.com/register.

10. What are the differences between the routing preferences? See section 4.1 of this guide.

11. How can I route from point A to point B with multiple stops in between? You will need to first look up the addresses of any stopping points. Then you can create a route by selecting any of your My Points. See Section 3.

135

Troubleshooting Questions

12. May I change the warning sounds? Yes, you

can substitute your own .wav files for any of the warning sounds found in the TTWorldNavigator Sounds folder such as reroute, spdBeep sounds. The SpdBeep sound is the one you hear when it is time to turn. Do not change the name of the file, just rename your .wav file to the same name as the original file name.

13. How do I change text and voice from English

to another language? Press <Menu>, then the right arrow icons to scroll to the third screen

and then press <Language>. Language choices are available in the Premium and Truck Editions only.

14. Which entertainment file formats are supported? See the appropriate hardware user guide or check the model specification online at the TeleType website.

15. Why did my GPS lose satellite signal after a reset? Check the comm port and baud rate settings on your GPS Information page. The

WorldNav Navigation Software

136

correct settings should be as follows (com/baud): 3.5": 1/9600; 5": 7/4800; 7": 2/4800.

16. I see a NANDFlash folder in my software path. Can I use this for storage? No, this folder should not be used for any storage. Attempting to use this will void your warranty and likely result in making the GPS non-functional.

17. How do I reset my device? Power down the GPS device and unplug from the power source. Insert the stylus pen (located on back of device in lower left corner) into the hole marked RESET. Plug the GPS back into the power source and turn the device On. Note: your stored data points will remain stored.

18. How do I know what software version I have? Press <Menu>, then <Info>. Your current version is located in the upper left hand corner.

19. How do I receive software updates? Visit the Upgrades page on the TeleType website: http://www.teletype.com/update
