Introduction Thank you for purchasing SPiN 100 Pocket PC navigation software. We hope you enjoy using your new GPS navigation software. Whether you travel in your own country or elsewhere, SPiN 100 will direct you to your destination without the need for map books and second-hand instructions. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is available free of charge, at any time, and is accurate to within 5 m (15 ft). Your SPiN 100 map provides street-level detail for door-to-door navigation, including Points Of Interest (POIs) such as accommodation, railway stations and airports. Use this manual to help you install SPiN 100, learn how to operate it effectively and safely, and discover the range of features available to you. Navman welcomes your feedback. To contact us or visit our website, see Support Information on page 50. Compatibility SPiN 100 is compatible with both Bluetooth and serial-port connected GPS receivers, and with Pocket PCs manufactured by: · Acer · Dell · HP · i-mate · Qtek · T-Mobile Note: Depending on your model of Pocket PC, you may not be able to connect to both a Bluetooth GPS receiver and another Bluetooth device (such as a headset) simultaneously. Operation Like many software programs, SPiN 100 requires the software media (in this case, the SPiN 100 SD Memory Card) to be present for the software to operate. This enables the software to be used on multiple devices but prevents it being used by two persons at the same time (as that would require a second software licence). Important Note: Because the SPiN 100 program and map data files are stored on the SD Memory Card, it is important not to modify or overwrite those files. Accordingly, it is recommended that before installation you save a copy of all files onto your personal computer or other storage device. 5 SPiN 100 | User Manual Getting started GPS and GPS Signals The Global Positioning System is a network of satellites that transmit accurate time and position information worldwide. GPS receivers receive signals from these satellites and use the information to determine an exact location. Satellites orbit the earth at around 12,000 miles above the surface. While a GPS receiver can detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any time, only three signals are needed to provide a position or GPS "fix" (latitude and longitude) for vehicle navigation systems. SPiN 100 is designed to use GPS information to find your current position, and calculate the best route to your desired destination using the available road maps. SPiN 100 will then guide you with voice and visual commands to your destination using the continuous stream of GPS data to track your position. To receive GPS signals, ensure that the receiver is outdoors, or in a vehicle outdoors, and has an unobstructed view of the sky. The reciever can operate in all weather types except snowfall. For details about reading the SPiN 100 GPS Status screen, see page 12.
