Power Using Battery Power Your WayPointtm PDA features a main battery and a backup battery. MAIN BATTERY When fully charged, the main battery will provide enough power for up to 8 hours use under normal operating conditions, if utilized for standard PDA functions with minimum backlight use. However, the actual battery life is dependent on the type of use as some functions, such as the backlight, raise power consumption considerably.
The included AC adapter accepts 90V to 260V, enabling worldwide use with the appropriate local connector. To charge the device using the AC adapter: 1. Connect the travel adapter to the charging/communications port on the base of your WayPointtm PDA as shown in the picture below. 3. Plug the adapter into an AC outlet. The power LED shows flashing red while the battery is fast charging and continuous green light when the battery is in trickle charging at least 80% charged.
The dual charge cable is shown in the figure below. USING THE USB CRADLE By keeping the USB cradle connected to the AC power supply, your WayPointtm PDA can be charged whenever it is docked. Spare batteries may also be charged by inserting them in the cradle. To connect the USB cradle to the AC power supply: 1. Insert the power cord jack into the DC-IN jack socket on the USB cradle. 2. Plug the adapter into an AC outlet.
The cradle may also be used to charge a spare battery that is not installed in your WayPointtm PDA. To charge a spare battery, place the battery in the battery bay after the USB cradle has been connected to AC power. The vehicle mount consists of a powered cradle that houses the external speaker and holds the PDA as well as a gooseneck connector attached to a windshield suction cup. External power is brought to the mount with the supplied power cable.
WayPoint PDA Connected to the back of a PC via the USB Cable on the left and the travel adapter on the right. There are two types of USB hardware configurations used in PC’s. 1. One type supplies a separate 5V power source for the USB power. 2. The second type derives the power from an internal bus. There is only a limited amount of power available from a USB connection and sometimes this is divided among all the connections.
WayPointtm PDA receives a continuous supply of power, either from its internal battery or an external source, as any interruption will result in the RAM contents being lost. Although the operating system and pre-installed programs, stored in Flash ROM, will be unaffected, you will have to re-enter all other information. To safeguard your data, you should periodically back up your files. This L can be done on a pc using a Microsoft program called ActiveSync.
Chapter Basic Operation of the WayPoint PDA This chapter is devoted to getting you started with the WayPointtm PDA. The WayPoint PDA runs Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 Premium Edition. The full instructions for the use of this operating system and all of the applications that are provided with Pocket PC are in the Pocket PC reference manual which can be found on the Documentation CD-ROM. This chapter will provide a brief summary of the operation of the Pocket PC operating system.
• Tap the screen once to select an item. • Drag the stylus to select text and images. In a list, drag to select multiple items. • If the screen is not large enough to show the full data, try dragging the stylus off the edge of the viewing area to cause the data to pan. • Tap and hold an item to display a pop-up menu listing available actions. (This is the equivalent of the right mouse button on a pc.) Tap your selection to perform the action.
Using the Menus To open or switch between running programs using the start menu, tap on the start button in the title bar, and then select the program you want from the list. For example tap the contacts menu item to bring up the contacts list. In addition to the programs that can be started from the menu, there are icons representing the most recently started programs across the top of the menu. These icons can be tapped to restart a program or may be used to switch between running programs.
The following input options are listed: • Block Recognizer - To select the Block Recognizer, tap the input panel arrow. For help with using Block Recognizer, tap the help button . • Keyboard - The keyboard can be setup to permit a full 5 row typewriter keyboard or a keyboard with larger keys but requiring extra steps for some key functions. • Letter Recognizer - Letter Recognizer allows you to use the stylus to write on screen, just as you would write with a pen on paper.
Using the Programmable Application Buttons The Programmable Application Buttons provide a fast and convenient way to open your favorite programs. Press one of the Programmable Application Buttons to instantly open the application assigned to that key. By default the contact list is on the second button from the left and is represented by the icon above the button. You can use Contacts to keep important contact information on all your friends, colleagues and business associates.
• To change the information with a contact summary screen displayed, tap Edit on the command bar. • To leave the application, tap on title bar from the summary screen or just start another application. Advanced features There are some interesting features available for Contacts from the tools menu. • You can make a copy of a contact as a starting point for further editing. • You can beam the contact information to another person. • The WayPointtm 200 has an additional feature.
Alarms The clock also supports alarms. Clicking the Alarms tab brings up the display showing four alarm settings. As shown the top setting has an alarm set for weekdays at 6 AM. The checked box indicates that this is an active alarm. The days have been tapped to highlight the full week and the time is set. The time itself or the bell icon can be tapped to bring up the two screens below.
An alarm can also be set in the calendar application when a reminder for a special appointment is needed. Owner Information Use the start menu and system setting to reach the Owner Information icon. Tap on the Owner Information icon to enter your personal details. You can display a summary of the information when you turn your WayPointtm PDA by selecting the box at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the Notes tab to enter additional information.
Note: If Gismo is not installed use the File Explorer and tap the Gismo cab file in \Windows to install it. The cab file is called GisMo_PPC.ARM. To back up the full data perform the following steps. 1. Start the backup program 2. selected. The screen displayed at the left appears with all things 3. Tap 4. A confirming screen will appear. Tap Start to begin. The screen will display the progress. You have just backed up all your data.
except that the Personal Data entries and Option entries have been expanded by tapping the plus sign to show the contents. This listing is similar for either a backup or a restore. The list includes everything that is stored in RAM on the WayPointtm Pocket PC PDA and by default all items are checked to be backed up as shown on the screen by the checkmarks. For a restore the list shows everything that is in the backup file that was selected.
3. Type: Gismo can store files in two formats. A .gbk file is the standard form, but you can also select a self extracting .exe file. This kind of file will automatically bring up the program to extract the contents if it is executed. The backup program works by building a compressed file in the Location and directory you specify. The file contains only the items that you selected. It can build a regular backup file or a little larger self-restore file.
backup to ensure that it is readable by the backup program prior to deleting earlier ones. It is not necessary to actually execute the restore to verify that the file can be read. Using Help This was only an introduction to the many programs and features available within the WayPointtm Pocket PC PDA. And, of course, you can customize it by adding more programs of your own choosing.
Chapter 4 WayPointtm navigation requires a combination of resources which consists of the mapping application, a set of maps, and a GPS receiver. The first step is to set up the GPS receiver correctly. WayPoint 100 users should plug in the CF GPS receiver. The lamp on the receiver will light, indicating that the unit is on, when the GPS is selected in the WayPoint software. The CF GPS receiver is on Com 3. The baud rate must be set to 4800. The lamp will blink when a GPS fix has been obtained.
The WayPointtm PDA should be installed in the vehicle mount for car use. WayPoint 200 users should start the Bluetooth radio and ensure a connection to the GPS receiver. This can be accomplished easily by selecting the “Start GPS” entry from the Bluetooth menu. Then follow the on screen instructions to establish the default connection. See the chapter on “Bluetooth Operation” on page 91 for more details. Road Safety Before launching the WayPoint navigation software, road safety should be considered.
these are called Favorites, Detour, Status, and WayPointtm buttons. From the map screen the buttons work as follows: Favorites Detour Status WayPoint Navigate to one of your favorite locations. (See “Route to Favorites” on page 58.) Press and hold the Button Save an entry in locations at your current position. (See “Saving your home location” on page 44.) If no route then bring up the route form else Route with Detour. (See “Building a route” on page 56 or “Detours ” on page 62.
The GPS Data Screen The GPS Data screen is shown above on the left. This data screen shows the GPS running and a destination selected. However, this is not likely to be the case the first time you run the program. The Satellite Map screen is shown above on the right. When you enter the GPS command either of these screens may be shown. • Other things on the GPS Data screen include the current latitude & longitude, the altitude, the current speed, and heading.
can display satellite signal to noise ratio (strength) or the satellite ID's. Most of the time the strength is what you want to view. In the figure, there are 8 satellites in view and 5 are being tracked. This does not mean that 5 are being used as part of the solution however. A tracked satellite may or may not be part of the solution. For example, the ephemeris data may not be downloaded yet or the satellite signal strength may not be high enough to use although it is being tracked.
• Auto-rotate will keep the map always point such that the current movement is toward the top of the screen. This will make the turns a head match the idea of left/right instead of dealing with compass headings. • Auto-zoom will change the zoom setting as you get closer to a turn so that the turn will be shown with more detail. • Lock To Road will cause the GPS position to be shown directly on the road even if there are errors in the map.
but expect it to take another 10 minutes or so. This condition can also occur if the unit loses track of time caused by leaving it off for a long period. The first picture shows that the GPS is sending information to the PDA but no satellites have been found. The second picture shows that it has found some satellites but has no idea where they are in the sky. Once the unit is able to compute a fix it will place the satellite locations in the correct place on the screen display.
• Other things can be entered such as a category and picking an icon but these things can be done later if you prefer. • You can name your own categories, so a category like ‘family’ or ‘residence’ would be good choices. You can also just leave it blank or pick an existing category. • If the data entry field (keyboard) is removed as shown above you will find some more of the form. • You can select the zoom level used by the icon. • Tap OK to save the point.
If you want both you might consider making a favorites category in your locations database. Remember that only the last 8 locations are saved in the recent list so you will want to make a copy of them in the Locations database if you want to keep them permanently. 1. Tap on the sign post icon to bring up the list of favorites. 2. Tap the one you want to save in your locations file. The screen will display this location in the center. 3. Tap the location to bring up the text display. 4.
Chapter 5 WayPoint Operation Once the WayPointtm Navigation program has been started and the GPS connection has been establish you are ready to view the maps and operate the program. You can view the help file if you need to review the operation of any command.
As you travel the GPS position will remain almost stationary and the map will travel under it. The location of the GPS icon is an option. As shown it keeps most of the screen ahead of you. You can set it to be in the center of the screen if you wish. The two black dots just visible behind the GPS icon are the end of an optional track log. Another option is to have the screen oriented with the direction of travel toward the top as shown here. That way all of the turn directions can be left and right.
The navigation pane is where all the navigation messages are shown or, when not navigating, it will show the street name you are traveling on along with the direction you are traveling and upcoming cross-street names or exits. Tapping on this pane will return the map to the GPS position if you happen to scroll it away. The screen on the left shows a map with the information pane enabled.
Choose Map – A command that is used to manage maps. (covered in “Using “Choose Map” in the WayPoint software” on page 86.) Display and Control Options As discussed in the GPS section, the GPS position icon can be set to lock to the road position. However, if it you don’t select that option most of the features acts as if it was on anyway. Tapping on the map: • Always snaps to the nearest road or object. • Draws a little house to show the snapped location on a road. • Displays the address in a box.
Customizations Customizations are reached from the Settings command. Once you select any customization you can move between settings using the cursor left and right keys.
WayPoint Operation for night. The marketing department thinks you might not realize why there are two choices. It is dark at night and the day colors could be too bright. The day screen is on the left. Each of these settings is fully customizable to contain just the color scheme you prefer. The GPS icon is set to red if a GPS signal is lost.
Landmarks Landmarks1 is the name for a personal database that contains Landmarks created by the user. • These can be used for personal places like the homes of your family. • They can also be used to supply the locations and names of businesses that are missing from the map database. As mentioned in the last chapter, this is where the information is stored when you press and hold the left button.
6 WayPoint Navigation Navigation is the ability of the program to guide you to a destination. This is a key feature of you WayPointtm software. In its simplest form, it is just an arrow pointing the way toward the destination. This was shown in the GPS display “Getting Started with Navigation ” on page 38 where a direction was shown ‘as the crow flies’. A slightly better version of this air line navigation is represented by the pilot data pane which can be found on the Tools > Navigation menu.
Note that when the user selects turn by turn navigation by calculating a route this navigation pane will replace any other selected pane as soon as the system needs to display a message. When the message time is over it will revert to the previous pane you have chosen. You can rotate through all of the available panes by using the cursor keypad, either up/down or left/right will work. There is a user option to control the size of the navigation pane. The smaller of the two sizes is shown in the picture.
destination time zone. This will cause both the ETA and the internal PDA clock display to use the Visiting time zone value. Building a route To build a route using the loaded maps, you only need to supply a starting location and a destination. Often the starting location is the current position as determined by the GPS so you only need a destination. The automatic router will find the path from the starting point to the destination. There are two approaches to route creation.
the required data. Of course the individual data on the screens is different but approach is the same. The address screen is shown at the left as an example. You can search the entire database or you can restrict the data geographically or by category or both.
CONTACTS SEARCH • There must be an address listed for you contact for the address search to work. • If there are two addresses it will present the choice of work or home. • Select the address you want and tap ok to begin the search. Occasionally the form of the address in the address book will not match the form needed by the WayPoint software. If this happens the location will be identified but the search will fail.
Tapping one of the icons will bring up a short list of locations matching the category along with their distance and direction. In the example shown above on the right the nearest gasoline stations are shown. • The name of the business as well as the direction will be shown as you might want to skip those that are behind you. • Note that if you are stopped the GPS may not be reporting the correct direction so it is best to do this command while you are moving.
• Finding a Restaurant is usually one that you would want to keep. • Route to nearest can be really useful for getting to a hospital or the closest police station. • The category list even includes those from your own Landmark database. The Find approach is used when you wish to find and display the object on the screen and then call the router. This method is a little more flexible if you aren’t sure which of the many locations in a chain of stores you really want.
The Route Once you have generated a route you can look it over or just start following it. You can also revisit the Tools > Navigation > Find Route command to: • save the route for future use. to • reverse the route to get back home. • Recall a route you saved earlier. Recall and reverse route do not try to use the whole route you set up earlier. Instead they simply use the start and finish points plus any ‘route through’ points (described below) to generate a new route.
Fastest Route Shortest Route Neutral to Freeway use Prefer Freeway Normally the best choice Provides an alternate route. Good for travel through a bad neighborhood. Likely to compute results more quickly. Good for taking the scenic route. Use for motorbikes. Good choice in outlying areas where the road classification may not be correct.
include ¼, ½, 1, 2, 5, and 15 mile increments. Tapping one choice will cause the router to regenerate a route that tries to avoid the specified distance or so of the current route. (Remember that the thumb wheel can be used to perform the selection.) • On a normal surface street this may cause the router to request an immediate U-turn. • On a freeway it will initiate a route that takes the next exit.
There are many customizations to permit the guidance to be tuned to the user’s preferences. These include the already mentioned Voice prompt settings as well as changing the size of the navigation pane, making it automatically appear, showing the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival), as well as some GPS options. ETA is a really useful banner for predicting arrival times. It uses the speed data from the road classes to predict an arrival based on the remaining distance.
Chapter 7 Step-by-Step This Chapter contains step by step samples to do specific tasks in the WayPointtm navigation software. Quick Routes Quick Routes always route from your current location. Route to a Favorite Location You can generate a route to any of your favorite locations. 1. Press the Favorites Button 2. Select a location from the menu that appears. You must have a fix for this to work.
You can generate a route to the nearest Gas Station or the Nearest Restaurant. or other specific category. 1. Press and Hold the Detour button for a second. 2. Tap the category you wish. 3. A menu will appear for you to select from a list of close by locations. The direction will be indicated as shown below. The check marks indicate that there is a nearby entry for that category. 4. Tap the one you wish to generate a route to that location. Tapping outside the box will cancel the command.
Other Routes For other routes you need to start with the Tools > Navigation > Find Route command. If there is no route active it can be found on the detour button which normally does the detour command when you are navigating a route. The first steps are always the same. 1. Tap the Choose Destination 2. Select a Choice from the menu. Notice that your favorites are listed among the choices.
Route to an Address 3. The top left corner box contains a selection. Choices include Within 25 Miles, Anywhere, Current View Area, A list of all loaded towns, and a list of all loaded zip codes. Pick what you want. You can enter the first letter to aid in searching the dropdown list. 4. Enter the search data using any of the available entry methods. You can start with the number or the street name. The Search spy glass will appear to show that a search is in progress. 5.
Route to a Landmark Perform the same two starting steps and tap Select Landmark. A landmark can be a point of interest, Business, Rest Area, Government facility, Tourist Attraction, or some place you saved in your own locations database. 3. The top left corner box contains a selection. Choices include: • Within 25 Miles. • Anywhere. • Current View Area. • A list of all loaded towns. • A list of all loaded zip codes. Pick what you want.
Route to a Contact 3. Select the correct entry from your contact list. You can scroll or search the list. If the entry has two addresses a second button will appear to permit you to choose which one you want. 4. Tap ok to allow the program to search for your address. If successful a list of choices will appear on the next screen. If you get a no match error you can try to modify the address a bit. For example, you might pick a different town or edit the street name.
Finding Locations Another approach to routing is to find the location first. This is especially useful when you aren’t sure of the location name or haven’t quite made up your mind yet. Finding a Location Graphically You can find a location graphically and then route to it. Let’s suppose you are driving east on I-80 somewhere near Fairfield and decide you need gas. Here is one way to proceed. 1. Select Tools > Find > All Places by Type. This will bring up the screen shown below on the left.
5. Once you have one in mind tap and hold on the description to bring up the menu. 6. Selecting Route To will generate a route to that location. Or, if you’re already running a route, consider Route Through to add the gas stop to the existing route. This will route to the station and then back to the route you were already on. The SignPost quick find icon is near the right end on the command bar. Tapping this will bring up the quick find menu shown at the left.
Chapter 8 Map Loader Map Loader Your WayPointtm unit comes with 128 megabytes of Flash Disk space for maps. While this will not hold the entire United States, it will hold one region and perhaps the long haul maps. The long haul maps contain major road maps of the entire USA. The next figure shows the approximate boundaries of the regions. Note that region R is Canada. For detailed data see “Region Coverage” on page 80. The WayPoint Map Loader is a program that comes with your WayPoint PDA.
• Purchase maps. Using the Map Loader permits the user to keep maps they are using separate from maps that they own. This improves performance of the mapping software while providing flexibility for the user. Maps that are not needed can be on a CompactFlash card, an SD card, or readily retrieved from the Internet at any time. They are compressed to save storage space and to reduce download time from the Internet.
Go to Step 3 Go to Step 5 Go to Step 4 Go to Step 6 3. You will see this screen if you forgot to install your Map Loader card and have never downloaded maps from the Internet. Follow the screen instructions to get a file list. Once you have obtained the file list you will go back to step 2. For more information see “File List lost” on page 89. 4. You will reach this step if you do not have an Internet connection and you have never activated a map before or your activation key is corrupt.
5. If you have an Internet connection the authentication screen will appear briefly and then switch automatically to the main menu screen (step 6). 1 3 6. The Map Loader main menu is shown in to the left. This is where you will decide what you want to do. 2 If you thought you were on the Internet and do not see the authentication screen of the previous step you should tap EXIT and see 4 “Problem Resolution” on page 87 before restarting the Map Loader.
• (4) Exit - This command will shut down the map loader. The user can also use the Cancel command available at the bottom of most screens to shut down the map loader. Purchase Map Activation key You need a Map Activation key before you can load maps into your unit. The source maps themselves are not useful without the activation key. Purchasing the Map Activation key can be done three different ways. These include using the Map Loader directly, using the Mobile Crossing web site, and by phone.
shopping cart. The name of this button will change to Remove from Cart. The region you selected will be added to the Select Maps. The total price of the purchase will be shown. The descriptions for each region is shown in the Region description chapter. Tip: If you tap the map regions drop-down menu twice it will remain selected. You can use the thumb wheel or cursor keys to scroll through the list. This is often easier to control that try to scroll the list with the stylus.
7. Tap Submit to complete the purchase. The data will be sent via a secure connection and validated. If there are any errors you will be given an error message so that you can correct the data and try again. Your map activation key will be downloaded and installed in the unit automatically once the information has been accepted. A confirmation E-mail will be sent which contains the map activation key for your records.
4. Once you have purchased your map activation key you will need to enter it into the PDA. Tap Next to bring up the activation screen shown on the right. 5. Enter the 25 characters from the Web display to the PDA and tap Next to check for errors. The maps you purchased are now activated. You can proceed to “Map Loading” on page 83.
between sets of otherwise unconnected regions. Regions generally include one or more adjacent states but may also include partial states (adjacent counties) to improve usability.
Pacific Pacific Northwest California Hawaii Washington Oregon Idaho Alaska Utah-North South Atlantic Southeast North Carolina South Carolina Georgia Georgia-Southern Florida Puerto Rico Southwest Tristate Utah Colorado New Mexico Arizona Nevada Wyoming-Southern New York Connecticut New Jersey Canada New Brunswick Upper Great Lakes Newfoundland Nova Scotia Ontario Prince Edward Quebec Alberta British Columbia Manitoba Northwest Territories Saskatchewan Minnesota Michigan Wisconsin Special Regio
There is also a region for Canada. It includes the following provinces and territories: New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, and Saskatchewan. It also includes all of the Long Haul maps for Canada. Map Loading You can install any map set that you have previously purchased. The maps can be obtained from a CF card, an SD card or directly from the Internet.
4. Once the files are located on the card you can use it for map loading just like the one purchased from Mobile Crossing. (The one from Mobile Crossing may contain extra features such as autorun.) Note that there may be duplicate files in the various regions. They are identical and can be overwritten if you wish when making the copies. Map Loading Steps The steps to load a map are described in this section. The program itself will sense the Map Card and use it if it is available.
Tip: If you tap the map regions drop-down menu twice it will remain selected. You can use the thumb wheel or cursor keys to scroll through the list. When you reach the installed map the Uninstall Map button will appear. If removing maps does not solve the problem with space you will need to use the File Explorer program to remove files. When you tap to leave the File Explorer and return to this page you can tap OK to reload the screen so that the free space will read correctly. 6.
If you are removing a region that had missing files the amount of free space shown on the pie chart may be wrong since it is based on the known region size, not the actual files loaded size. It is always correct when you first enter one of the Build Map screens. Using “Choose Map” in the WayPoint software While the maps are now loaded onto your WayPointtm unit they may or may not be loaded in the WayPoint navigation program.
should use the Selection Menu and unselect all maps and then choose the maps you wish from the various directories. The View menu permits controlling what information is displayed in the choose map screen. There is also a refresh command on this menu that will cause the unit to search storage and display the maps again. This can be used to tell the WayPointtm software about new maps if you load different maps using the Map Loader.
must be already connected before the PDA can use it. To connect via ActiveSync follow these steps: 1. On the Pocket PC check Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Network Card. 2. In the top menu, ensure that the setting is 'Work'. 3. On the PC be sure that the WayPointtm PDA shows “connected” on the ActiveSync display. 4. In ActiveSync under Tools > Options > Rules ensure the Pass through setting is also set to 'Work'. The setting in active sync and the PDA must agree.
If a region still won’t fit it means you have placed too much additional data on the Flash Disk. You will need to use the File Explorer to remove enough data so that your maps will fit. Recovering Missing Maps If the download failed to load all of the maps needed for a region you can revisit the Build Map screen to recover the missing files. The missing map files can only be recovered by downloading them from the web site.
Map too Large to fit This error is caused by trying to load too large a region into the space remaining. The solution is to remove some files. The Map Loader can be used to remove other regions to make room for the new region. The file explorer program can be used to remove other files as needed to make space. Tap the ok button to refresh the screen size measurement if needed. A special case is that this error can be because the Longhaul maps are loaded and a very large region is being installed.
Chapter 9 Bluetooth GPS is a feature of the WayPointtm 200 product. Bluetooth wireless technology consists of a CF hardware card and Bluetooth management software with a Bluetooth Driver. The intent of the Bluetooth module is to permit the use of the Bluetooth GPS receiver but it can also be used for many other tasks. Bluetooth Hardware The Bluetooth hardware is a CompactFlash card that is inserted in the slot at the top of the unit. It may automatically turn on when it is inserted.
For the serial port connection needed for GPS use many of these settings do not make any difference, but may be changed for increased security or to restrict what can be done with the connection. Once a GPS device is set up as the default for Bluetooth serial connections the Bluetooth software will automatically connect to that device when the mapping application requests it. L This is a class II Bluetooth radio with a maximum range of up to 32 feet (10 meters) and a data rate up to 721 Kbps.
1. Tap the hand shown on the command bar to bring up the Devices Nearby window shown on the previous page in the middle. 2. Generally this will kick off the search automatically. You can also tap the refresh icon to look for devices nearby. The screen shows that a GPS has been found. 3. Tap twice quickly on the icon to discover the services it provides. 4. Depending on the security settings it may ask you for a passkey. It is 2003 for this device. (Security level is controlled on Tool > Configuration) 5.
Other Uses While the main intent of the Bluetooth module is to support the Bluetooth GPS unit, it can also support other activities and tasks. For example it can work with the contact list to send a contact via Bluetooth to another device or it can use the contact entry to dial a Bluetooth phone.
The DUN service can be used with GPRS phones to support internet connections as well. This would also permit live Traffic Watch or Weather Underground capability. Note that the Headset, Audio Gateway, and Cordless Phone Gateway are not implemented on the WayPointtm unit due to hardware limitations. Screen Descriptions The screens available for Bluetooth operation are generally available in the Bluetooth manager. The ACT menu on the command bar duplicates the screen access from the icons.
After tapping Property text in the above middle screen shows the SPP connection is on COM 8. The Options screen is reached Tool > Configuration in the Bluetooth Manager. It is shown on the above right. • The Address is the internet address for a pan connection. • The name is the one used to identify the WayPointtm PDA in Bluetooth connections. • The security can be set to high security to require paired devices. If not checked then no pairing will be required.
• If you decide to pair the GPS and the Bluetooth module the passkey is 2003. • The Bluetooth lamp will flash at a one second rate when you are connected and much slower while awaiting a connection. • If the car power is removed when the ignition key is turned off, the unit will revert to battery power. Be sure and turn it off if you intend to leave the car for a long period.
Chapter 10 Advanced Topics This chapter is intended for reference on a wide variety of topics. It does not flow like the previous chapters did. Each section is standalone. The topics include: • “GPS hardware topics” on page 99 o How a GPS works o External Antennas • “PDA Hardware Topics” on page 101 o Resetting your PDA o Adding Hardware to your PDA • “Advanced WayPoint Software features” on page 103 o Geocaching o Using the Log file.
GPS hardware topics How a GPS works The GPS receiver that you can hold in the palm of your hand is a highly complex and powerful device. You don't need to understand it fully in order to use it but some understanding can be helpful in getting the most from a GPS. First of all it is a radio wave receiver similar in some ways to a standard FM radio. It only receives signals but unlike a standard radio these signals come from satellites moving rapidly overhead.
RECEPTION STRENGTH Most GPS receivers or the programs that work with them provide a method for you to determine how good the current reception is. This is similar to the idea of determining the strength of the signal to a cell phone, but you need to know the strength of the reception of several satellite signals instead of just one. The WayPointtm display shows you where they are in the sky relative to your current position and how strong the signal reception is.
blocked by the metal roof. In poor reception conditions this can make a difference in whether there are enough signals to produce a fix or not. PDA Hardware Topics Resetting Your WayPoint PDA You will need to reset your WayPointtm PDA after restoring data from files backed up on your PC, or in the event of the operating system freezing up. Resetting provides a similar function to rebooting your PC, restarting the operating system.
you will need to re-install your programs, reload backed up files and adjust the settings to suit your personal preferences. Master Power Switch Slide the Master Power Switch from on to off and then back to on again. The figure shows the back of the stylus being used to change the switch. Adding Hardware to your WayPoint PDA The Mobile Crossingtm WayPointtm PDA is a very versatile unit. It is possible to add external devices to the unit to supplement the hardware you received.
• COM 5: USB. This is a USB slave port. It can only be used to communicate with master USB devices such as a PC. ActiveSync uses this port. • COM 6: IrCom. The infrared serial port with similar capabilities as the serial port. • COM 7, 8, 9 are potentially used by Bluetooth plugged into the CF card slot. The WayPointtm 200 includes a Bluetooth card in the CF slot. This card can support up to 7 devices simultaneously in a pico net. The list of devices that have Bluetooth support is growing daily.
• The log file can be displayed on the map later to have a visual indication of the entire journey. • Each of the points on the log can be tapped to see the actual speed and other data about that point, or you can view the details in a list. • You can display a summary of the trip. • The log file can be played back from any point to simulate the travel. • If roadlock is set the log file entries will try and lock to the road.
3. The third method is to use a cabinet file. These files are specially prepared files for the pocket pc. They have a .cab extension. The file can be downloaded to the unit directly from the web, moved to the unit from a pc, available on a memory card that is plugged into the unit, or even beamed from another unit. File explorer can be used to install a cab file just by clicking on it.
The menu provides several program management services such as: • showing all running programs • allows you to tap on any of them to switch between the applications. • The X on the right can be used to actually stop the program thus freeing up the memory resources used by the program. The settings entry shown on the menu permits you to customize how Wisbar works. Also shown in the image are the memory and battery usage icons on the title bar.
SETUP The opening screen for GPS Info is the place where the connection to the GPS unit is performed. Only one program can be attached to a GPS unit at any one time. If a connection cannot be established check and ensure that the WayPointtm software is not running or has closed access to the GPS. The setup page permits some control over the GPS itself. The commands include: • The Cold Start button will reset the GPS and require a cold start.
The other information shown includes: • the Velocity (Speed and Direction) • the Position (Latitude and Longitude) except that altitude is missing. The rest of the text is concerned with the quality of the fix itself. The Status reports that the GPS has a 3D solution which means it is computing a solution in all three axes which requires at least 4 satellites. In addition it is showing a HDOP, Horizontal Dilution of Position and a PDOP (Point DOP).
• The Weather Underground program provides real time weather data. The programs can be executed from the Start menu or via the WayPointtm Navigation program. If you tap and hold the WayPoint button for a second or so it will bring up the QuickLaunch program. QuickLaunch can also be started from the Start menu. Tap the appropriate icon to launch the program. There is room for more programs that can be launched from this screen.

GPS shows all satellites in the center in one row. Most or all show 0 Possible Cause / Solution 1. Let it get a lock before moving. Drive out from under trees or other obstructions that may be blocking the sky view and then stop. 2.
Consider using the Route Through feature to control the router and get exactly the route you want. It is also very useful for multiple stops if they are all on the way. • If your trip spans a time zone use the Visiting choice on the clock settings to change the time zone used by the unit. • For local routes use the most exhaustive routing option but for long routes you may want to reduce this value to improve routing time. Reducing the number of loaded maps will also reduce the routing time.

It provide synchronization of PIM data, the ability to backup the data on the PDA, internet pass through, and other services. For more information on ActiveSync see the Pocket PC reference manual on the CDROM.
Flash - Flash refers to a type of memory used in your WayPointtm unit. Flash memory does not lose data when power is removed. Geocaching - Geocaching is a hobby where some people hide a cache of stuff (none of it particularly valuable) and then identify the location with GPS coordinates. Other folks set off to find these hidden treasures and leave their name in a log book. GPS - Global Positioning System. This is a system that provides world wide coverage for your GPS receiver. It consists of three parts.
WAAS - Wide Area Augmentation System. This is a system that is designed to improve the accuracy and integrity of the GPS system for air travel. For the US is currently consists of 2 satellites, one off the east cost and one near the International Date Line. Neither is particularly well suited for the west coast but both can be received under favorable circumstances. When the signals can be received and the GPS is enabled to use them, accuracy can be improved about 2 to 3X.
