We recommend using a special cradle for your PDA in order to ensure
the safe operation of the navigation system in a vehicle. This will ensure

from the system are well understood.
You can purchase a special cradle for your mobile phone in specialist
stores.

Power supply for the PDA and GPS receiver

It is recommended to connect the PDA and GPS receiver to an external
