WayPoint Navigation

Customizations

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. To ensure

that the GPS and PDA agree as to what time it is the PDA will automatically be set to GPS time.

The GPS options of particular use while navigating include

• auto-scroll - to keep the GPS location on the screen.

• auto zoom - will zoom in near a turn and back to the user preference after the turn.

• auto-rotate - to keep the cars current direction toward the top of the screen.

• lock to road - This changes the behavior of the GPS position indicator.

• center the view forward - offset the display to provide more data ahead.

SOUND SETTINGS

Sound settings include customizing the beeps and sounds associated with various navigation

notifications. First turn, Turn Coming, Turn Complete, Re-route sounds can be customized.

There is also a setting for Special Notices.

In addition notifications are available for GPS change in status. Fix acquired and Fix lost can be

set independently.

The various sounds can also be turned off if desired. Sound choices include standard Pocket PC

alarms and unique WayPoint

navigation sounds.

Speed alert can be set to sound at a specific speed.

Voice volume can also be changed here or by using the system volume settings. You can choose

from the available voices depending on what you have loaded. TTS (Text To Speech) is a special

voice that permits the unit to say the turn message itself. You can tune the speed of the voice to

aid in understanding it.
