Map Loader
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 WayPoint
tm
software about new maps if you
load different maps using the Map Loader. The refresh command will also remove unselected
maps from other directories if they are still present in the list.
Graphically Selecting Maps
To Graphically Select the maps you wish to use begin by loading the Long Haul maps between
your home and your destination using the choose maps command. A special check box
facilitates selecting the major roads. Use the magnifying glass icons at the bottom of the screen to
zoom in (+) or zoom out (-) until you see a map you recognize which will be the major road map.
Tap the square icon with the – (minus) inside until all you can see is roads and little sunbursts. If
the city names are turned on these may obscure your selection. Change the map settings to
remove these names. You can always tap to show the name.
You can hold the stylus against the map and drag the map around on the screen. Tapping any of
the sunbursts will display the county name for that area. Tap and hold the stylus on the displayed
name to bring up a menu that permits you to load that map. Load whatever maps you wish.
Note that maps you do not load will not be selected automatically by the program, thus if you
drive into an area where you did not load a map there will be no map displayed. This is another
good reason to always load the Major Roads map.
To load the minimum required for a route select the detailed county map at the start and at the
destination. Try and use the road map for any of the routing that needs to be done between these
two points. If your county is not connected to the road map then you may have to load an
adjacent detailed map to make the connection. The route calculation will generally be faster with
only these maps loaded. After the route is calculated you can add detailed maps graphically along
the route if you wish to show the gas stations and other POI’s you might be interested in.
Loading the detailed maps may improve the ETA calculation slightly.
Problem Resolution
This section provides information on solving problems you may encounter while using the Map
Loader program.
Internet Connection Problems
Internet Explorer on the Pocket PC can be used to verify that an Internet connection is present
on the device. This connection can be established via a network card, a connection to a cell
phone, a connection to a modem, or via ActiveSync.
The easiest connection to establish is with ActiveSync. The ActiveSync connection presumes you
have an Internet connection on the PC itself and then passes this connection to the PDA. It
