Transferring using the SD card reader The simplest and fastest form of transfer is to use a standard SD card reader (does not fall within the scope of supply). The memory card is plugged into this. The files required are then saved on the memory card using the computer's software. Installation program There is a map installation program on the map DVD. Once the DVD is inserted in a personal computer's DVD drive, this program will usually start up automatically. The program guides you through the installation process. Otherwise, you will have to start the program manually. ® ! Open Windows Explorer. ! Select your DVD drive folder. ! Double click on the "Setup.exe" file. 28 General operations Transferring using the USB port The USB port is used to link the Traffic Assist Highspeed directly to a personal computer. For transfers, the Microsoft® Active Sync program must be installed on the computer. This is available freeof-charge from the manufacturer. Transferring maps The installation software from the DVD should be used for the transfer. This involves the following stages: ! switch off Traffic Assist Highspeed. ! remove memory card and plug into an SD card reading device or the use the USB cable to connect the Traffic Assist Highspeed to the computer. ! boot up the computer and insert the DVD. ! use the installation program to transfer the map required. ! slide the memory card back into the Traffic Assist Highspeed or correctly remove the USB cable. ! switch the Traffic Assist Highspeed back on. The new map is available right away Transferring pieces of music and pictures Since the map data takes up virtually all the 1GB memory capacity of the memory card supplied, pictures and music should be saved on to another SD card. The files can be transferred via a card reader or the USB connection. Note: Use obvious folder names because these will help you later when you are trying to find the file you want in the Traffic Assist Highspeed. 5017 The link then involves several steps: ! switch off Traffic Assist Highspeed. ! link the Traffic Assist Highspeed and computer using the USB cable. ! switch the Traffic Assist Highspeed back on. ActiveSync automatically sets up a link to the Traffic Assist Highspeed. 29 General operations Faults If unit faults relating to the operating system occur, messages to this effect will be displayed. These should be acknowledged. If the activated function cannot then be executed, the Traffic Assist Highspeed must be restarted using the ON/OFF switch or the reset button. If the messages reappear or the unit does not function correctly for any other reason, please contact your local stockist. Note: Never attempt to open the unit yourself. Please contact your authorised dealer if you are unable to remedy the fault. 30 Navigational mode Navigational mode What is navigation? Navigation (Latin navigare = to travel by sea) is generally understood to mean finding the position of a vehicle, determining the direction of and distance from the desired destination and establishing and following a route to this destination. Navigational aids include the stars, distinct objects, a compass and satellites. The Traffic Assist Highspeed uses its GPS receiver to find the vehicle's position. (The Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed by the US military in the 1970's as a missile guidance system. GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites circling the earth which continuously emit signals. The GPS receiver receives these signals and uses the delay of each of the signals to calculate its distance from the individual satellites. In turn, it can use this information to determine its current geographical position. The signals of at least three satellites are needed to establish position. If four or more signals are available, height above sea level can also be calculated). Traffic Assist Highspeed determines the direction of and distance to the destination with the aid of a digital road atlas on the SD card and the navigation computer. For safety, directions to the designation are mainly provided verbally. The direction display and map diagram on the touch screen are further aids. !Safety information · The road traffic act takes precedence in all circumstances. The navigational system is only an aid. The data/details provided may in some cases be incorrect. The driver must always decide whether to follow the details given or not. We accept no liability for the navigational system issuing incorrect details. · When first started up, it may take up to 30 minutes before a position can be determined. · Precedence should always be given to actual traffic signs and local traffic rules. · The directions only relate to cars. Special recommendations and rules for other vehicles (e.g. commercial vehicles) are not taken into consideration. · Destinations may only be input when the vehicle is stationary. 31 Navigational mode Selecting navigation Navigational mode is called up from the main menu.
