-60-Appendix Special CleanUp Function The CleanUp function serves the targeted deletion of data, without using a PC. Note Please use this function very carefully, because it is possible for data to be deleted that can only be entered again manually afterwards. The CleanUp function is activated when the ‘o’ is pressed in the Gopal lettering of the Main Menu, immediately after the start tone following a reset. The CleanUp function offers 8 options: 1. Remove Installation Only Removes the software installed from the ‘My Flash Disk’ memory [= part of the permanent memory in which the executable parts of the navigation software will be located following the initial alignment (\My Flash Disk\Navigation)]. 2. Remove MAP Only Removes the digital maps from the ‘My Flash Disk’ memory (\My Flash Disk\MapRegions). 3. Remove Preload Only Removes the data needed for the installation of the navigation software from the perma-nent memory (\My Flash Disk\Install). 4. Remove All Deletes the whole contents of the ‘My Flash Disk’ memory. It will not be necessary to recalibrate the screen after this function has been carried out. 5. Factoryreset Sets the device back to the delivery status in the case of an intact main installation.
-61-6. Format Flash Formats the internal ‘My Flash Disk’ memory. This formatting can be necessary in the case of a prolonged removal of errors. It will be necessary to recalibrate the screen after the formatting function has been carried out. All data will be deleted from the internal ‘My Flash Disk’ memory irrevocably. 7. Reset GPS Performs a factory reset of the GPS receiver. When using the GPS function after having performed a factory reset, the GPS receiver must orientate itself again. This process may take a while. 8. DC AutoSuspend You can select here when your navigation system should go into Standby mode automati-cally after the withdrawal of the external power supply. For example, this function is useful in the case of vehicles where the cigarette lighter also switches off when the ignition is switched off. The AutoSuspend function will be activated several seconds after the discontinuation of the external power supply and the Standby display will appear for the time set (see Page 18). The DC AutoSuspend function will be deactivated again if the power has been recon-nected within the total period (in the case that the engine has been switched off for a short time, for example). Otherwise, the navigation system will go into the Standby mode after the expiry of the time set. Set the required time by clicking on it and confirm your selection with OK. Note This function is deactivated and can be set individually in the status at delivery and after a hard reset (see Page 25).
-62-Exit Leaving the CleanUp function and restarting the device (like reset). Note The deletion of the data must be confirmed before the action actually takes place. To do this, press on YES. There will be a corresponding report if the data to be deleted is no longer available. Please read the „Transferring Installation Files and Map Material to the Internal Memory“ chapter on Page 70, in order to recreate the files (installation files and map material) in the internal memory.
-63-Synchronisation with the PC I. Installing Microsoft® ActiveSync® In order to transfer data between your PC and your navigation system you need the Micro-soft® ActiveSync® program. The cost of the navigation system includes a license for this program which can be found on the CD/DVD. Hinweis You will not need the ActiveSync® communications software, if you are a user of the Windows Vista® operating system. The system files necessary for the simple data transfer are already integrated into your Vista® operat-ing system. Procedure for Vista users: Please connect your device to your PC with the help of the USB synchroni-zation cable. The necessary drivers will be installed automatically, after the new device has been found. Your new device will be listed under the ‘Portable Devices’ point in the Windows Explorer overview, following a successful installation. Attention! Important files can be overwritten or changed during the installation of software. You should create a hard disk backup, in order to be able to have access to the original files in the case of possible problems following the installation. You must have administrator rights to install the software under Windows® 2000 or XP. Important You should not connect the navigation system to your computer yet. 1. Insert the CD/DVD and wait until the program starts automatically. Note If it does not function, the Auto Run function is probably deactivated. The Setup program on the DVD must be started, to start installation manually. 2. Choose the language, click then Install ActiveSync® and follow the instructions on the screen.
-64-Note When installing the GoPal Assistant, ActiveSync® will be installed automatically. II. Connecting with the PC 1. Press the On/Off button to start your navigation system. 2. Connect the USB cable (optional) to your navigation system. 3. Push the USB connector into a free USB port on your computer. 4. The hardware installation assistant will recognize a new appliance and installs a suitable driver which can take some minutes. Repeat the die connection search if it fails the first time. 5. Follow the instructions on the screen. The program will now set up a partnership between your PC and the device. Alternative possibility of charging the battery The battery will charge as soon as you connect your navigation device to a switched-on PC or notebook by means of a USB cable. No type of software or drivers installation will be necessary for this. Do not interrupt the charging process if possible during the initial bring-ing into operation. III. Working with Microsoft® ActiveSync® ActiveSync® will be started automatically if you connect your navigation system to the PC. The program will check whether the device is one with which a partnership has been en-tered. If this is the case, the changes that have taken place on the PC and on the navigation system since the last synchronisation will be compared and adjusted to each other. You will be able to define exactly which data will have priority during the synchronisation in the settings of the ActiveSync® Program. Call up the Help of the Program (with the F1 But-ton), in order to become familiar with the effects of the respective settings. A restricted Guest Access, with which you will be able to exchange data, for example, will become active automatically if the navigation system has not been recognised as a partner. If this is the case, although the process concerns the registered partner device, separate your navi-gation system from the PC and switch it off and on again. Now connect your navigation system to the PC, to restart the recognition process. Repeat the process and, restart your PC in addition, if your device continues to be recognised as a guest. Note Make sure that you always connect your navigation system to your PC with the same USB connection, otherwise your PC will allocate an additional ID and reinstall the device.
-65-GPS (Global Positioning System) GPS is a satellite-backed system for determining your position. With the help of 24 satel-lites revolving around the earth, it is possible to determine your position on earth with the accuracy of a few meters. The satellite signals are received by the antenna of the built-in GPS receiver, which must have a "line of sight" to at least 4 of these. Note When the line of sight (e.g. in tunnels, between houses, in woods or also in vehicles with metal-coated windows) it is not possible to determine the position. The satellite reception however automatically picks up again as soon as the obstacle has been passed and the line of sight is re-established. Moving slowly (e.g. slow walking) also limits the accuracy of the naviga-tion. The GPS receiver consumes additional power. This is especially of concern, when running on batteries. To conserve power do not turn on the GPS receiver unnecessarily. Also ter-minate the Navigation Software, if it is not needed or satellite reception is not possible for a longer period. However, you can also switch the device off by means of the On/Off switch in the case of a shorter interruption to your journey. Pressing the same switch again will activate a restart. The GPS receiver will also be reactivated at the same time, if naviga-tion software is still active. Here, it can take a short time for the position to be updated again, according to the reception situation. Note Please note that your appliance is preset to not shut down automatically after a few minutes without activity. You can change this preset in the Settings mode. If the GPS receiver has not been active for some hours, it must orientate itself again. This process may take a while. External GPS antenna This second optional GPS antenna makes it possible to receive the signals of satellites bet-ter (e. g. in the case of vehicles with a metallized windscreen). 1. The antenna should be pointing upwards. 2. Push the plug of the external GPS antenna into the opening provided for it.
-66-TMC (Traffic Message Channel) The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a digital radio data service that functions in a similar way to RDS and is used to transmit disruptions to traffic to a suitable reception device. The traffic information is continuously transmitted across FM. The user is less dependent on the half-hourly broadcast traffic information, because the signal is continuously transmitted. Apart from this, important information, as in the case of people driving on the wrong side of the road for example, can be passed on immediately. The transmission is planned for the whole of Europe and is already offered by radio trans-mitters in many countries. The precision of the TMC messages can deviate greatly accord-ing to the country. The evaluation of TMC messages is not supported by every type of navigation software. Enquire whether your system supports TMC before the possible purchase of a TMC re-ceiver.
-67-Connecting the TMC Diplole Aerial A TMC receiver is integrated into your navigation system, to receive traffic information. However, reception will only be guaranteed if the TMC angled aerial supplied with the device has been connected. Plug the jack plug of the TMC angled aerial into the earphones connection of your naviga-tion system. Attach the aerial, on the edge or your windscreen, for example, with the help of the sucker. Place the aerial so that a distance of approx. 10 cm from the metal frame of the screen is maintained. TMC reception can be improved by different aerial positioning, according to the vehicle. (similar picture) Your navigation system will now be able to receive traffic information through the TMC receiver and thus to avoid potential disruptions to traffic.
-68-Working with Memory Cards Your navigation system supports MMC and SD memory cards. Inserting Memory Cards 1. Carefully take the optional memory card out of its packing. Take care not to touch or dirty the contacts. 2. Insert the memory card carefully into the card bay with contacts pointing forward. The card must lock easily. Removing Memory Cards Note Only remove the memory card if the navigation software has been closed and the device has been switched off by means of the On/Off button be-forehand. Otherwise you will risk a loss of data. 1. To remove the card press lightly onto the upper edge until it ejects. 2. Pull the card out without touching the contacts. 3. Store the memory card in the packing or in another safe location. Note Memory cards are very fragile. Take care not to dirty the contacts and not to force the card. Accessing Memory Cards • The appliance only supports memory cards in the FAT16/32 file format. If you insert a card prepared with a different format (e.g. in cameras, MP3 players), your navigation system may not recognize it and will ask you to format it again. Attention! Formatting the memory card irretrievably wipes out all data.
-69-Data Exchange via Card Reader If you wish to copy large quantities of data (MP3 files, navigation maps) to the memory card, these can also be stored directly to the memory card. Many computers already have memory card devices. Insert the card in this and copy the data directly to the card. Because of the direct access you can achieve a much higher transfer rate compared to using ActiveSync®. Additional Card Material Your navigation system is already equipped with digitalized map material in the internal memory and/or memory card at the factory. Depending on the configuration, additional maps may be included on your CD/DVD. You will be able to transfer these cards to a memory card immediately. Here, it is recommended to use an external card reader (see also page 69). The GoPal Assistant supplied with the device enables a simple and individ-ual compilation of the map material to be transferred. Depending on the amount of map data on the CD/DVD, memory cards with capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB, 1.024 MB or more may be required. You can obtain additional memory cards (MMC or SD cards) in specialist stores. Transfer of card material to a memory card The transfer of additional card material to a memory card can take place through the Ex-plorer of your PCs. Proceed as follows: 1. Insert the CD/DVD with the card material required. 2. Start your workstation and select your CD/DVD Drive. 3. Copy the file with the .psf ending out of the Directory of the region that you re-quire to the MapRegions Directory on your memory card, from the CD/DVD. You can transfer several files with map material to your memory card, depending on the capacity of the memory card. If you have copied digitized maps of several countries or country groups onto your mem-ory card, you will be required to select the desired map in the navigation application of your device.
-70-Alternative Installation of the Navigation Software from a Mem-ory Card The software for your navigation system can also be installed directly from a memory card. The pre-installed software may have to be uninstalled beforehand (see special CleanUp function, Page 60). You will be requested to install the navigation software during the initial adjustment. Please proceed as follows: 1. Remove the memory card from the packaging carefully. Pay attention that the con-tacts are not touched or soiled. 2. Push the memory card into the SD-/MMC slot until it engages. 3. Click on OK, in order to install the application. The main screen, through which you will now be able to carry out the navigation settings, will appear after all data has been copied to your navigation system. Transferring Installation Files and Map Material to the Internal Memory Note The navigation system must be connected to a computer by means of ActiveSync® for the transfer of the data. Your device has an internal, permanent memory, which is located in the \My Flash Disk directory. You will be able to make this directory, and others, visible with ActiveSync®, by means of the Search option. Directories and files can be manipulated as in Windows Explorer. The required directory must have been stored, in order to make the installation files and the map material for the device available. Deposit the INSTALL directory for the installation files at (\My Flash Disk\INSTALL). De-posit the map material in the MapRegions directory (\My Flash Disk\MapRegions). Please pay attention to the modes of lettering given above when naming the directories. Pay attention to the fact that sufficient drive capacity must be available, if you have stored additional data on your navigation device. Remove files not needed if sufficient drive ca-pacity is not available.
