Using GPS Navigation

8–7

10. After downloading your free map, a GPS Navigation Voucher

code appears. Write the code on paper and keep it in a safe

place. Use the code when you purchase more maps to receive a

discount.

If you choose not to write the code on a piece of paper, you can

access the voucher number later by tapping, from the Start menu,

Programs > Get a Map & Voucher.

11. Tap X to close the application.
12. Disconnect your HP iPAQ from your personal computer and go

outdoors to start GPS Navigation. Place the HP iPAQ where there

is a clear view of the sky or on the dashboard of a vehicle.

13. Tap Start > GPS Navigation and wait until GPS Navigation

locates you.
Initially, this process may take several minutes.

NOTE: To quickly access the Today screen while you are using GPS

Navigation, press the red

End Call button. To access GPS

Navigation again, tap the GPS Navigation icon

located in the

Command bar.

IMPORTANT: In certain situations the GPS signal strength drops so low

that the GPS receiver cannot help you navigate. When this happens, you

may see a “spinning” effect in the 3D view where the screen can rotate

up to 180 degrees. To address this situation, tap on the map >

Change preferences > Turn off 3D display.

14. Once the application has your location, the next screen asks

“Would you like to specify your ‘Home’ address now?”

Tap No or Yes.

NOTE: Providing a home address is useful. For example, you can plan a

route back home from anywhere with a single tap on the screen. If you

tap No, you can add it later.
