Getting Started

Congratulations on purchasing the Dell GPS Navigation System (Navigation System). The Navigation System is a full featured software application that uses the latest in satellite technology and detailed street maps from NAVTEQ to guide you through the most complex streets.

The Navigation System is designed for the Dell™ Axim™ Pocket PC, but will run on all Pocket PCs with the appropriate specifications. The complete map of the United States and Canada is on the two CDs. You use the Map Loader software on your desktop or laptop computer to transfer selected map information to your Pocket PC, either by city or by region. A different map can be loaded to your Pocket PC at any time using the Map Loader software.

Since the map of the United States and Canada is very large, it does not fit on the Dell™ Axim™ Pocket PC. You can transfer map data by city or region, but not both at the same time. To transfer the portion of the map you want to your Pocket PC, use the companion map loading software on your desktop (or laptop). The time needed to download a map varies based on system capabilities and the size of the map.

When you travel to a different area of the country, the map loader lets you easily change the maps on your Pocket PC as needed. Smaller maps load more quickly, and you can use multiple memory cards to keep a selection of maps available.

NOTE: Because of the relatively small memory of Pocket PCs compared to desktops, you will receive a warning if you try to load too much map data as a single map. Maps of 100 Mb and smaller are easily managed by the Navigation System.

Using the GPS Device

The Navigation System uses a Bluetooth® GPS Receiver (the Receiver) to get signals from satellites orbiting the earth. Using these signals, the Receiver identifies your position within 30 feet.

Bluetooth® is a short-range wireless technology that allows devices to pass information between them without wires.

GPS stands for Global Positioning System. Twenty four satellites orbit the earth, spaced so that at any given time and position on earth at least four satellites are visible. Using a process called triangulation, the Receiver calculates your position on the earth from the data received from the satellites. The satellites do not receive data back from the Receiver.

The Receiver gets satellite signals only when there is a clear view of the sky. Trees and tall buildings can block the view, and signals are rarely received within a building.

NOTE: For best reception, place the Receiver on the front or rear dashboard of the vehicle. For navigation, there must be an active Bluetooth® connection, the GPS position must be fixed (receiving signals from several satellites), and the battery must be charged or connected to a power supply.

Exploring the GPS Receiver

The Receiver has the following features:

• Power Switch - Turns the Receiver on (-) or off (0).
  
• Power Jack - Connects a DC car power charger (included with the Receiver) or an AC power charger to recharge the internal battery.
  
• Bluetooth® Status LED (blue) - Blinking slowly indicates there is no Bluetooth® connection. Blinking quickly indicates there is communication with another Bluetooth® device.
  
• GPS Status LED (green) - Blinking indicates that the GPS position is fixed. Steady indicates that the GPS position is not fixed (information is being received from fewer than three satellites).
  

Owner’s Manual 23

support.dell.com

www.dell.com

The Receiver must be charged prior to use. Initial charging takes up to three hours. Future charging will depend on how depleted the battery is when the Receiver is plugged in.

NOTE: The first time you use the Receiver it can take from five to fifteen minutes to receive satellite signals. Thereafter it should take approximately 90 seconds to begin receiving signals.

Partnering the Receiver with the Pocket PC

A partnership must be established between the Receiver and the Pocket PC to allow communication between the devices. Most of the time the partnering will happen automatically when you start the Navigation System.

24

Owner’s Manual

Partnering the GPS Receiver with your Pocket PC requires:

• The Navigation System must be successfully installed
  
• The Receiver must be charged or plugged in
  
• The Pocket PC must be turned on
  
• The Receiver must be turned on
  
• The Pocket PC and the Receiver must be within 15 to 30 feet of each other
  

Sometimes you may need to manually partner the Receiver with the Pocket PC. The process of partnering differs between different versions of the Pocket PC operating system.

Partnering with Windows Mobile 2003 Operating System

You use the Bluetooth Manager that comes on your Pocket PC to manually partner the Pocket PC with the Receiver.

To manually partner in Mobile Windows 2003:

• UTC Time shows Universal date and time (Greenwich Mean Time).
  
• Location shows your current position and speed using latitude, longitude, and altitude. Satellite indicates how many satellites you are receiving signals from and how many satellites are potentially available based on the orbit of the satellites.
  
• Local Time shows the time at your current location.
  
• NMEA shows incoming satellite data, which is shown graphically below.
  
• The graphic to the left shows the position of all reporting satellites relative to your current position.
  
• The bar graph to the right shows the strength of the satellite signals. Each bar represents a single satellite. White bars indicate signals are being received, but no position fix (minimum of three satellites) has been made. Green bars indicate strong signals. Red bars indicate weak or bad signals.
  

To check the GPS connection status:

• Do one of the following:
  
•      Tap the satellite icon in the menu bar. or
  
• Tap the Features menu and then tap GPS Status.
  

30

Owner’s Manual

or

• Tap Menu and then tap GPS Status.

The GPS Status screen appears.

Signal Reception

Once the Receiver and the Pocket PC are partnered, you receive satellite signals. Based on satellite position and your geographic location, you may experience the following:

• Satellite signals are received more quickly at specific times of the day. For example, at 10:00 a.m., you might receive signals in under a minute because more satellites are visible in the sky. At 3:00 p.m., you may not receive signals because only two satellites are visible in the sky.
  
• Buildings can block satellite signals. Setting up the GPS receiver in a vertical window blocks at least 50% of the sky. Trees also can block satellite signals.
  

NOTE: A window with a Southern view, rather than Northern view, should be used to receive signals.

The Receiver performs at its best when the battery is fully charged. If you are having trouble receiving signals, try plugging in the Receiver.

The color of the vehicle arrow on the map indicates the connection strength between your Receiver and the satellites:

• Green indicates that 4 or more satellites are available. This is the strongest level of GPS connection, sometimes referred to as a 3D fix.
  
• Yellow indicates that 3 satellites are available. This is a weaker level of GPS connection, sometimes referred to as a 2D fix.
  
• Red indicates that less than 3 satellites are available. The system will seek additional satellites before providing navigation.

Appendix B: Regulatory Notices

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning of a radio navigation or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Radio communications services include but are not limited to AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal Communication Services (PCS). These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices, including computers, contribute to the electromagnetic environment.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to function properly together in the electronic environment. While this computer has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for EMI, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference with radio communications services, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient the receiving antenna.
  
• Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.
  
• Move the computer away from the receiver.
  
• Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and the receiver are on different branch circuits.
  

If necessary, consult a Dell Technical Support representative or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Dell™ computers are designed, tested, and classified for their intended electromagnetic environment. These electromagnetic environment classifications generally refer to the following harmonized definitions:

• Class A is typically for business or industrial environments.
  
• Class B is typically for residential environments.
