Getting Started
Congratulations on purchasing the Dell GPS Navigation System (Navigation
System). The Navigation System is a full featured software application that
uses the latest in satellite technology and detailed street maps from NAVTEQ to
guide you through the most complex streets.
The Navigation System is designed for the Dell™ Axim™ Pocket PC, but will run
on all Pocket PCs with the appropriate specifications. The complete map of the
United States and Canada is on the two CDs. You use the Map Loader software
on your desktop or laptop computer to transfer selected map information to
your Pocket PC, either by city or by region. A different map can be loaded to
your Pocket PC at any time using the Map Loader software.
Since the map of the United States and Canada is very large, it does not fit on
the Dell™ Axim™ Pocket PC. You can transfer map data by city or region, but
not both at the same time. To transfer the portion of the map you want to your
Pocket PC, use the companion map loading software on your desktop (or
laptop). The time needed to download a map varies based on system
capabilities and the size of the map.
When you travel to a different area of the country, the map loader lets you
easily change the maps on your Pocket PC as needed. Smaller maps load more
quickly, and you can use multiple memory cards to keep a selection of maps
available.
NOTE: Because of the relatively small memory of Pocket PCs compared to
desktops, you will receive a warning if you try to load too much map data as a
single map. Maps of 100 Mb and smaller are easily managed by the Navigation
System.
