The plotted GPS route is only for driving reference. It should not interfere with actual driving behavior.•When using the device inside a vehicle, use the car holder to mount the device securely in place. Avoid placing the device in the areas shown in the following diagram: 1 Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.2 Do not place where air bags could deploy.3 Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing the device in the holder.
Navigating on the Road 167•Please use the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any damages resulting from negligent operation of the system.• The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects. Signal reception may be affected by obstructions such as high-rise buildings, tunnels, bridges, forests, weather (rainy or cloudy days), etc. If the vehicle’s visor contains metal, it will be difficult for the GPS signal to pass through.• Wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radar-detecting devices) may interfere with the satellite signal, resulting in unstable signal reception.• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US Defense Department. The Department is responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department makes may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.• Do not leave your device in a vehicle or expose the device to direct sunlight to avoid overheating the battery, which could pose damage to the device or risk to the vehicle.10.3 Downloading Satellite Data via QuickGPSBefore you start using your device for GPS navigation, open the QuickGPS program first to download ephemeris data (current satellite position and timing information) onto your device. This data is needed to determine the GPS position of your current location.QuickGPS downloads ephemeris data from a web server, instead of from the satellites, using the Internet connection on your device, which can be via Wi-Fi, ActiveSync or GPRS/3G. This significantly speeds up the time for determining your GPS position.To open QuickGPSTap Start > Programs > QuickGPS.
168 Navigating on the RoadTo download dataTap Download on the QuickGPS screen.On the screen, initially, you will see the Valid time of the downloaded data. As time passes, the remaining days and hours of validity will be shown.To speed up GPS positioning, download the latest ephemeris data when the validity of the data expires. Download optionsTo configure download times, tap Menu > Options and choose from the available options:• Remind me when data expires. Enables your device to display a reminder message when the validity of the ephemeris data has expired.When you see the reminder message, tap Menu to dismiss the reminder or to set the snooze time so that you will be reminded again. Tap OK to open the QuickGPS program and download the latest data.• Autodownload when data expires. Allows ephemeris data to be automatically updated onto your device when the data has expired.• Autodownload when connected to PC via ActiveSync. Allows ephemeris data to be automatically downloaded via ActiveSync to your device when your device is connected to your computer. Your computer must be connected to the Internet in order to download data.Note The ephemeris data is stored on HTC web servers. QuickGPS is preconfigured to connect to these servers.
