TMC module 2.2.5 Initialising the GPS receiver and the TMC module The initialisation process of the TMC module starts automatically. Within a few seconds, the TMC-icon on your Pocket PC switches from No TMC to Searching for broadcast station and finally to TMC ready. No TMC Searching for broadcast station TMC ready Note: In case the symbol No TMC is shown, the TMC-module is possibly not inserted correctly, or the GPS-receiver is not connected correctly. No TMC is also shown when your navigation system does not dispose of a TMC-receiver. For details on the operation of the TMC module, please refer to "Using TMC functionality", page 100. Initialisation of the TMC module Before you begin - 13 - User's manual MobileNavigator | 5 Initialisation of the GPS receiver The initialisation process of the GPS receiver starts automatically. Within 15 seconds, the GPS-icon on your Pocket PC switches from No GPS to No signal. As soon as the signals of more than 3 satellites are being received, the GPS-icon switches to GPS ready. No GPS No signal GPS ready This procedure may take about 20 minutes. When the GPS icon becomes GPS ready earlier, it would be good to leave the GPS receiver turned on for about 15 more minutes in order to grant its correct operation. The initialisation process is finished when the reception of more than 3 satellites is assured after about 20 seconds. Note: This initialisation process must be carried out only once. The other times, the GPS receiver will be ready within about one minute. Note: When the GPS receiver is connected to the power supply for the first time, leave it connected for about 2 hours in order to charge its battery. Note: A new initialisation may become necessary when the GPS receiver has not been in use. In this case, the initialisation process would take about 10 minutes. Caution: Disconnect the receiver from the power supply when you are leaving the car parked for a longer period. Failure to do so might result in a flat battery as the receiver consumes electricity permanently. For details on the operation of your GPS receiver, please refer to "Command buttons", page 24. - 14 - Installing the hardware User's manual MobileNavigator | 5 2.3 The basic principle of navigation 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. 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. MobileNavigator GPS-based navigation 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. Traffic information with TMC) The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) provides the navigation system with the latest traffic information. A TMC module, which is available as accessory receives these signals broadcasted by radio stations. The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is based on a news system. Traffic information is recorded continually this is done automatically by sensors on the motorways and by the police. This information is then forwarded to the radio stations without delay. It is digitally coded, differentiated according to routes and driving directions and transmitted inaudibly. The TMC-receiver extracts the TMC data from the RDS signal and provides the navigation software with them. Current traffic obstructions may then be displayed. The reported obstructions may be considered for route calculation. In case of obstructions on the computed itinerary, they may be used for computing an alternative route, which evades the obstruction. MobileNavigator features dynamic navigation, which is well adapted to the current traffic situation.
