PC*MILER|Mobile User’s Guide 1

Introduction

Overview

PC*MILER®|Mobile is a portable navigation system that provides step-by-step voice

guidance to your selected destination. This series of driving instructions are

delivered to your Global Positioning System (GPS)-enabled cell phone.

The PC*MILER|Mobile solution transforms GPS, data capable mobile phones into

in-vehicle personal navigation systems that guide drivers to their next stop over truck

drivable streets and roads.

The PC*MILER|Mobile Web-based driver tracking system enables dispatchers to

send new delivery locations via their phones and to track any number of vehicles on a

map. The operation center can efficiently assign loads or jobs, respond to emergency

pickups, and inform customers of real-time arrival information.

PC*MILER|Mobile provides drivers with turn-by-turn spoken directions, and

delivers automatic re-routing almost instantly when a driver goes off route. Route

guidance instructions are provided as audible prompts and on-screen text and

graphics. Drivers will never have to look at a map again!

Drivers using PC*MILER|Mobile can employ two convenient ways to select a

destination. You can:

• Log onto the PC*MILER|Mobile Destination Center Web site at

http://www.pcmilermobile.com and enter a specific address or search for and

select a hotel, restaurant, truck stop, or other destination.

• Enter a destination address into PC*MILER|Mobile using the i88s/i58sr phone

keypad or select an existing address.

The PC*MILER|Mobile equipped GPS-enabled i88s/i58sr can be used just like any

other cell phone. The iDEN handset cannot transfer phone data and packet data at

the same time. When a network-enabled application is transmitting packet data, the

phone services will be blocked. Packet data service will incur charges to the account.

This document covers the options available when you select PC*MILER|Mobile on

the Java Applications screen and press the button under RUN. It also describes the

features available on the PC*MILER|Mobile Destination Center Web site.

PC*MILER|Mobile uses ALK Technologies’ proprietary

truck-specific digital map data, which includes:

• Comprehensive street-level coverage of the United

States and Canada

• 13’6” height, 48’ length, and 80,000 lbs. weight restrictions

• Hazmat and 53’/102” trailer restrictions

2 PC*MILER|Mobile User’s Guide

• Over 100 million addresses

• Over 7 million miles of North American roadway

• Over 5 million points of interest (ALK and Motorola combined) including

weight stations, truck stops, and truck washes

Device Requirements

PC*MILER|Mobile can be installed on either an iDEN i88s or iDEN i58sr cell

phone. The phone’s software must be R88.01.05 or higher to be compatible with

PC*MILER|Mobile.

The phone must have these Nextel services:

• Total Connect data service, 1 MB or greater with either a private or public IP

address, or Packetstream Gold data service, allowing unlimited data use.

• A voice service plan that includes a personal telephone number.

Minimum Memory Requirements

Free space required to install PC*MILER|Mobile:

 26 KB data space

 139 KB program space

Free space required to install PC*MILER|Mobile Administration:

 1 KB data space

 25 KB program space

To download audio clips after PC*MILER|Mobile applications have been installed,

approximately 80 KB of data space is needed.

Verifying Phone Software

PC*MILER|Mobile requires version R88.01.05 or newer software on your i88s or

i58sr phone.

To view the current software version on your phone:

1. Power on your phone.

2. On the Nextel screen, press the following four keys, one after the

other, allowing no more than a second between key presses:

The system displays the Trace Mode menu.

3. With Unit Info highlighted, press the button under VIEW.

The system displays the Unit Info menu.

4. Scroll down, highlight Software, and press the button under SELECT.

The system displays the Software screen. Under the Software Ver line,

the system displays your phone’s software version.

If the version is R88.01.05, or a higher sequence of numbers, your

phone is ready for PC*MILER|Mobile use.

If you see an older version number, like R88.00.01 or R88.01.00, you

will need to update your phone’s software.

5. Press the red End key.

The system exits the Trace Mode screens.

Upgrading Software

To update your phone’s software, you can do it yourself or take it to a Nextel

authorized service center.

Note: If you manage multiple Nextel phones for your company, contact your Nextel

representative for system software update information.

Contact your Nextel representative for the service center nearest you. You will pay a

service charge at a service center for the update (approximately $35).

To update your phone’s software yourself, you will need to:

1. Set up an account on the iDEN Update Web site at

http://www.idenupdate.com/ (accounts are free).

2. Click on the Download Quick Guide link on the Web site to ensure

you meet the minimum requirements to download software.

3. Click on the Phone Software link, select an i88s or i58sr phone, and

then add the R88.01.05 – or newer – software to your shopping cart.

This is a free update.

4. Connect your phone-to-PC serial data cable from your Windows

computer’s serial port to your phone to install the updated software.

Note: If you do not already own the serial cable, you must purchase

one before proceeding (part number NKN6544). Click on the cable

links on the software upgrade page that will take you to the Nextel or

iDEN Web sites where you can directly purchase the cable. You also

can purchase the cable from your local Nextel authorized dealer or

Internet stores. The cost is approximately $30.

update your phone’s software.

PC*MILER®|Mobile End-User License Agreement

ALK Technologies, Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("ALK"), agrees to furnish you,

the end-user, the PC*MILER|Mobile service, subject to your acceptance of the terms

and conditions in this agreement. By registering as a user of the service, you agree

to follow and be bound by these terms and conditions.

ALK represents and warrants that it has sufficient right, title, and interest in the

service to grant you the right to use the service, and that during the term of your

subscription, the service will function substantially according to its specifications.

THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES

EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITING THE

GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING ANY WARRANTY OF

MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE. THE

PC*MILER|MOBILE SERVICE IS SOLD "AS IS". IN NO EVENT SHALL ALK

BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL

DAMAGES SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS IN CONNECTION WITH

OR ARISING OUT OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE FURNISHING,

FUNCTIONING OR USE OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED IN THIS

AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT THAT A COURT OF PROPER JURISDICTION

DETERMINES THAT THE DAMAGE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE ARE

ILLEGAL OR UNENFORCEABLE THEN, IN NO EVENT SHALL DAMAGES

EXCEED THE PRICE PAID. THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT ACCRUE TO

THE BENEFIT OF THIRD PARTIES OR ASSIGNEES.

PC*MILER|Mobile suggested routings are based on official highway maps, the Code

of Federal Regulations, and information provided by state governments. They are

provided without a warranty of any kind. You agree to assume full responsibility for

any delay, expense, loss or damage that may occur as a result of their use.

You agree to locate and secure the mobile telephone on which you use the service so

that it does not interfere with the safe and attentive operation of a vehicle. Do not

place your mobile telephone, GPS receiver, antenna, or power supply where it may

strike the driver or passengers if the vehicle turns sharply or stops abruptly.

The accuracy of PC*MILER|Mobile is insufficient for it to be used for automated

navigation or in any situation in which errors or omissions in the service could lead

directly to death, personal injury, or physical or environmental damage. You must

remain alert at all times to actual road conditions and obey all posted signs and traffic

regulations.

PC*MILER|Mobile User’s Guide 5

You hereby expressly agree to indemnify, defend and hold ALK harmless against

any and all liability, loss, damage, cost and expense, including reasonable attorneys'

fees, in connection with all claims in contract or in tort, including negligence arising

as a result of your use of the service in a manner not authorized by the terms of this

Agreement.

You acknowledge and agree that the service is provided to you solely for your

personal use. You may disclose information from PC*MILER|Mobile to trading

partners for specific origin-destination moves for which you provide or contract for

transportation services. You may not make any other disclosure of any

PC*MILER|Mobile information to anyone outside the legal entity that is paying for

this license. You may not directly or indirectly lease, sublicense, sell or otherwise

transfer the service to third parties, or use PC*MILER|Mobile to provide information

services to third parties, without ALK’s prior written consent.

This agreement shall be construed and applied in accordance with the laws of the

State of New Jersey, and the courts of the State of New Jersey shall be the exclusive

forum for all actions or interpretations pertaining to this agreement. This is the entire

Agreement between you and ALK and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous

agreements or understandings. Should any provision of this agreement be found to

be illegal or unenforceable, then only so much of this agreement as shall be illegal or

unenforceable shall be stricken and the balance of this agreement shall remain in full

force and effect.

User Consent

Laws in some areas prohibit the use of a cellular phone when driving a motor vehicle.

It is the responsibility of each cellular phone user to be aware of and abide by any

and all local laws and ordinances, which may restrict the use of cellular phones. The

user must take the utmost care in using a cellular phone safely under all

circumstances.

Traffic laws and current traffic conditions must always be observed and take

precedence over the instructions issued by the navigation system. The user should be

aware of situations where current traffic conditions and the instructions from the

navigation system may be in conflict.

The use of the navigation system does not relieve the user of his/her responsibilities.

The user is ultimately responsible for the vehicle under his/her control and should be

aware of the surroundings at all times. For traffic safety reasons, it is recommended

that routes should be set-up in a stationary vehicle before starting a trip.

Privacy: Operation of the PC*MILER | Mobile service requires that the user's

position be sent to a central server for use in preparing the route information. This

information will only be used to provide the navigation and tracking services and will

not be shared with any third parties. A user who wishes to keep their current location

private should not use the PC*MILER | Mobile service.

Notes

PC*MILER|Mobile User’s Guide 11

Getting Started with

PC*MILER|Mobile

Installation

Before the PC*MILER|Mobile application can be run, there are two simple steps that

are required to initialize the application.

• Install Audio Clips

The PC*MILER|Mobile guidance system utilizes the Voice Notes file system

to store audio clips that are used during the guidance process to announce the

next instruction. The prerequisites are to have at least 80k of free data space

and to be in an area that has strong Nextel coverage. This will help keep the

installation time short and reduce the cost of data transfer.

If you do not install the audio clips, the PC*MILER|Mobile application will

“beep” when attempting to play the given audio selection. To install the

clips, select PCMILERi88Adm and run the AudioLoader. (See the Audio

Loader directions on page 11.)

• Provision the User

The PC*MILER|Mobile guidance system requires that you register with

a valid user ID and password. If you fail to register, the

PC*MILER|Mobile application will respond with an error message

indicating you are not a valid subscriber.

Setting the Java Option Key

You can change the names and actions of the phone’s two option keys (the buttons to

the right and left of the Menu button), the power up application, and the ordering of

items in the Menu.

To make PC*MILER|Mobile applications readily available when you power up your

phone, you should change the right option key to JAVA. This will make it easier to

start PC*MILER|Mobile and easier to return to PC*MILER|Mobile if a phone call,

message, or other interruption happens when running PC*MILER|Mobile.

From the Nextel screen, press the Menu button. Highlight Settings and press the

button under SELECT. On the Settings screen, scroll to Personalize and press the

button under SELECT. Highlight Keys and press the button under SELECT.

Highlight Right and repeatedly press the right arrow of the 4-way navigation key

until the setting displays Java Apps. Press the button under BACK and to return to

the Personalize screen for the next change.

12 PC*MILER|Mobile User’s Guide

If you will be using PC*MILER|Mobile often, you may wish to have the Java Apps

screen appear immediately when you power up so you can select PC*MILER|Mobile

with one key press.

From the Personalize screen, scroll to Power Up App and press the button under

SELECT. Repeatedly press the right arrow of the 4-way navigation key until the

setting shows Java Apps and then press the button under BACK to return to the

Personalize screen. Press the button under BACK and then the button under EXIT to

return to the Nextel screen.

GPS Privacy Settings

There are three GPS settings on the i88s/i58sr. They are Restricted, Unrestricted, or

By Permission.

To check the setting, from the Nextel screen press the Menu button. Scroll down and

select GPS. Then select Privacy. The current setting will be marked.

The recommended setting is By Permission. This setting triggers a question to the

user when an application first tries to obtain the GPS position information. You must

agree to allow the access for the application to proceed. When the phone displays a

message asking if you always want to grant permission, you can select YES or NO, in

which case the grant permission screen will always display.

The Unrestricted setting allows all applications to obtain the GPS position

information.

The Restricted setting prevents any application from obtaining the GPS position

information.

PC*MILER|Mobile Administration

If you highlight PCMILERi88Adm on the Java Applications

screen and press the button under SELECT,

PC*MILER|Mobile displays the Applications screen, where

you can download audio clips, provision the i88s/i58sr, or

remove audio clips in preparation for de-installing

PC*MILER|Mobile.

Setting Up the Device

Introduction

To effectively use PC*MILER|Mobile in your vehicle, you should:

• Change phone settings for best in-vehicle use before you first run

PC*MILER|Mobile

• Place your phone as close to the windshield as possible

• Power your phone from the vehicle

Phone Settings

Following are suggested changes to your phone’s settings to make

PC*MILER|Mobile easier to use when driving.

Speaker Volume

PC*MILER|Mobile provides you with both audio and visual directions when

navigating to your destination.

If you are not using a headset with your phone, your phone’s speakerphone should be

on in order to hear audio directions. If your speakerphone is turned off, you will see

an icon at the top of your screen showing a speaker with a line through it.

To check the status of your speakerphone, power up your i88s/i58sr phone, and

check to see if the speaker icon has a red line through it. If so, press the

speakerphone button on the top left side of your phone (a speaker icon is on the

button). A message briefly displays, indicating the speaker is on. The speaker icon

on the screen no longer displays.

To set your initial speakerphone volume high enough for directions to be heard under

most road conditions, from the Nextel screen, press the Menu button. Scroll to

Settings and press the button under SELECT. Scroll to Voice Volume and press the

button under SELECT. Highlight Speaker Vol and repeatedly press the right arrow of

the 4-way navigation key until the volume setting is at 4 or 5. Then press the button

under BACK to return to the Settings screen.

Display Contrast

To best see the phone’s screen in all lighting conditions, you may want to increase

the screen’s contrast setting. From the Nextel screen, press the Menu button. Scroll

to Settings and press the button under SELECT. Highlight Contrast and repeatedly

16 PC*MILER|Mobile User’s Guide

press the right arrow of the 4-way navigation key until the contrast setting is at 4 or

5. Then press the button under BACK to return to the Settings screen.

Optionally, you may want to select an existing car or outdoor style. Refer to your

phone’s manual for more information on using and creating phone styles.

Phone Placement

For best GPS satellite reception on your GPS-enabled phone, place your phone as

close to the windshield as possible.

While many fixed and temporary mount phone holder types are available (adhesive

mounts, vent clip mounts, etc.), for closest placement to

the windshield you may wish to purchase a windshield

suction mount holder such as the one shown here.

Note: Check legal restrictions in your community on

such devices and attach the mount to the windshield in

Phone Power

Powering your GPS-enabled cell phone with an optional cigarette lighter adapter

while using the phone for navigation provides three advantages:

• Your phone’s battery will be charged while you are using the phone for

navigation. GPS operation consumes power when in constant use, and so it

can drain batteries. If the phone is used for navigation over long hours – such

as an 8-hour work day – fully charged batteries can be completely drained.

• The phone’s back light will be constantly on while the phone is charging. A

back-lighted screen is easier to see even in daylight conditions. At night, a

back-lighted screen is absolutely essential when navigating.

Note: Since back lighting consumes battery power, it is best to use it with a

power adapter.

• The GPS unit inside the device will provide the best location resolution

possible.

Power adapters for the i88s and i58sr phones can be purchased from resellers of

iDEN accessories, from Nextel (http://www.nextel.com) or Nextel dealers, or directly

from Motorola (http://www.idenstore.com).

The Motorola part number for an i88s/i58sr compatible vehicle battery charger is

SYN7818A. The chargers are also available in multiple translucent colors. Each

color has its own part number.

Setting Routing and Tracking Options

Routing and tracking options can be set when you log on to the PC*MILER|Mobile

web site – see the PC*MILER|Mobile Web Site section in this User Guide.

Available Route Guidance options are:

• Practical: Practical routes represent routing a driver would normally take to

minimize time and cost. Practical routing models the trade-off between

taking the most direct path and staying on major, high quality highways.

Interstate highways are given a higher priority than toll roads, which in turn

are given a higher priority than secondary highways, and so on. Practical

routings consider distance, road quality, terrain, urban/rural classifications,

truck-restricted roads, and designated principal and secondary through

routes.

• Shortest: PC*MILER Shortest Routes represent distances and driving

routes that a vehicle would take to minimize total distance traveled while still

following a reasonable route. For instance, Shortest Route mileages and

routes will also avoid truck-restricted roads and, in some cases, may favor a

beltway rather than traveling directly through a city.

• National Network: The National Network is a government-designated

system of highways originally established by the Surface Transportation

Assistance Act of 1982 and updated in 1992. PC*MILER National Network

routing represents distances and driving routes which are most reasonable

and legal for the larger trucks authorized by the Surface Transportation

Assistance Act of 1982. This routing stays on the National Network to the

maximum extent possible.

• 53 Foot Trailer: Calculations for these routes are based on National

Network routing, with the addition of roads that permit 53’ trailers.

• Toll-Discouraged: These routes will avoid long stretches of toll roads but

will not take long, impractical detours to avoid toll bridges and tunnels.

• Hazardous Material: Hazmat routes are constrained by US federal, state,

and local hazardous materials restrictions.

Note 1: Tracking can be turned ON or OFF, and a Tracking Interval and

Reporting Interval may be set.

Note 2: Selecting routing options does not prevent PC*MILER|Mobile from

providing routes that may not meet your requirements. No warnings are given

regarding bridges, underpasses, etc. that may be problematic, so drivers must

remain attentive.

Troubleshooting

Error Messages

The following error messages may be encountered when you log on:

• Initial user/password must be set, Login failed: Fail to logon: Incorrect user name

or password, or Login failed: User is not valid subscriber. The application has not

been properly set up for use. You could have entered the information incorrectly,

please try again. If still unsuccessful, contact technical support to resolve any

issues with the account.

• Failed to contact server. The GPS unit is unable to make a data connection to the

server. This will happen if the power indicator on the top of the GPS unit is solid

red or if the IP indicator on the GPS unit does not display. You may not be in an

area with wireless data coverage. Relocate and, when the power indicator light

turns green, try again. This may take a couple of minutes.

The following errors may be encountered on the Address Entry or Directions screen:

• Destination/Address is incorrect or incomplete. Please check and re-enter. The

server failed to verify that the address exists. This can be for several different

reasons: misspelled street name or city; state is not the standard two-character

abbreviation; improper abbreviations of names used; missing data; or the address is

too new to be found on a road network.

• Move your vehicle closer to a public street to find a starting street. You are not

close enough to the road network. Move the car closer to a public street and retry.

This also may happen if you are in a very new neighborhood that is not yet

supported by the map data.

• ERR_0100. Indicates that the server was unable to generate a route using the

specified parameters for one of many reasons (i.e., route server is down, the route

cannot be routed to, etc.).

The following errors may be encountered on the Guidance screens:

• Download Error. An error occurred during the download. Press the button under

BACK and try to obtain the route again.

• Out Of Memory. The route contains more data than the GPS unit can handle at this

time. There is not enough memory to download the entire route. Exit the

application and design a route with intermediate destination points. The length of

the route and the number of maneuvers impact how large the entire route can be.

FAQs

General

Q. What is PC*MILER|Mobile?

A. PC*MILER|Mobile is a navigation system that provides automated turn-by-turn

spoken directions along your route to guide you to your destination.

Q. How does PC*MILER|Mobile work?

A. PC*MILER|Mobile is able to determine your position using the Global Positioning

System (GPS). When you enter a destination using the phone or Web site, the route

information is downloaded to your phone, and turn-by-turn directions are provided to

guide you to your destination. If you miss or make an incorrect turn,

PC*MILER|Mobile will alert you and will offer a new route.

Q. Where can I use PC*MILER|Mobile?

A. PC*MILER|Mobile can be used in most metropolitan areas where there is Nextel

coverage. You can use the phone in or out of a vehicle to provide directions to your

destinations. For the GPS to work properly, the phone should have a clear view of the

sky and be away from tall buildings, covered parking areas, tunnels, and dense foliage.

In order to get a route you should be near a public road.

Technical

Q. What is GPS?

A. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite positioning system. A

constellation of satellites broadcasts signals around the world that can be used by GPS

receivers to determine positions using triangulation. The signals are free and can be

received anywhere on Earth where there is a clear view of the sky.

Q. How accurate is the GPS receiver?

A. GPS accuracy ranges from 20 meters to 100 meters. Most of the time the GPS is

accurate within 30 meters, which is about 32 yards.

Q. What is an ideal GPS environment?

A. The GPS receiver requires an open, clear view of the sky. Buildings, covered

parking areas, tunnels, and dense foliage can hinder the GPS signals. Weather

conditions do not impact the performance of GPS. If you are parked in a covered

parking lot or near a tall building, it is recommended that you move away to have a

clear view of the sky and then use PC*MILER|Mobile. The phone should be attached

to the windshield in the holder for best performance.

PC*MILER|Mobile User’s Guide 37

Q. Where is the GPS receiver?

A. The GPS receiver is embedded in the i88s/i58sr phone. The internal GPS antenna

is near the top of the phone by the power button. For best performance, the phone

should be attached to the windshield in glass-mount phone holder.

Q. How do I know that the GPS has a signal?

A. The PC*MILER|Mobile application on your phone will alert you if the GPS does

not have a valid signal by displaying NO GPS on the screen. If this happens, and lasts

more than a few seconds, drive to an area where there is a clear view of the sky so the

GPS can receive the satellite signals.

Q. How do I know if I am in a Nextel coverage area?

A. Check the power button. If it is flashing green, you are within the coverage area.

If the power button is red, the phone is out of network coverage.

Q. How do I know if I have data services?

A. On the top of the Nextel screen, you should see an IP symbol next to the signal

strength indicator. If the signal strength has 2 or more bars but the IP icon is missing,

the phone does not have data services and will not work properly.

Q. What maps are used in PC*MILER|Mobile?

A. Navtech provides the digital road map data that is used to compute routes and

directions for the PC*MILER|Mobile system.

Q. How well does ALK Technologies’ map data cover the U.S.?

A. ALK’s map data covers metropolitan and suburban areas in the US extremely well,

and they are continually improving their coverage of the rural areas. Additionally,

ALK has the most extensive road attributes in order to enable PC*MILER|Mobile to

provide the best possible turn-by-turn guidance experience.

PC*MILER|Mobile

Q. How do I repeat an instruction?

A. You can repeat the audio message by pressing the green Send button on the phone.

Q. Can I preview the navigation instructions?

A. Yes. You can preview the list of directions by scrolling up or down through the

list. In guidance mode, you can scan forward or backward through the maneuvers at

any time during guidance using the right/left navigation button. If driving a route when

scrolling through instructions, you should return to the current instruction screen to

keep your display in synch with your route’s progress.

38 PC*MILER|Mobile User’s Guide

Q. Can I enter the intersection of two streets?

A. Yes. To enter an intersection of two streets, type in both street names separated by

a plus sign (+). To enter the plus sign, press the 0 key twice.

Q. Why won’t PC*MILER|Mobile accept my address?

A. It may be that the spelling is incorrect or the abbreviations are not recognized. Try

using alternate abbreviations or spelling them out; e.g. “Saint” instead of “St.”

Q. Can I receive calls when using PC*MILER|Mobile?

A. Yes. However, the iDEN handset cannot transfer phone data and packet data at the

same time. When a network-enabled application is transmitting packet data, the phone

services will be blocked. Packet data service will incur charges to the account.

Q. Can I place calls when using PC*MILER|Mobile?

A. To make a call, press the red End button twice to pause PC*MILER|Mobile.

Q. How do I make a call using hands-free operation?

A. Press the button under SPEAKER to toggle between speaker on/off. For hands-free

operation, the speaker should be set to on.

Q. How do I make the guidance instructions louder?

A. You can change the volume of the verbal guidance instructions in

PC*MILER|Mobile by changing the ringer volume, using the rocker keys on the left

side of the phone. You must do this while PC*MILER|Mobile is running and giving a

verbal instruction.

Q. Why do the verbal instructions sound muffled?

A. You may not have the speakerphone activated. Press the button on the upper left

side of the phone to activate the speakerphone.

Q. When I turn off my engine, why is the PC*MILER|Mobile backlight on?

A. Most vehicles provide power to the cigarette lighter adapter even when the engine

is off and the ignition key is removed. You should remove the power plug from the

lighter socket and turn the phone off to avoid draining the battery.

Q. Why do I hear “You have left the route” when I have not?

A. Temporarily, the inaccuracy of the map data and the GPS results may cause the

phone to think that it is not on the planned route. If you have not left the route, the

phone should resume guidance momentarily.

PC*MILER|Mobile User’s Guide 39

PC*MILER|Mobile Group Management and Tracking

Q. Can the tracking mode be switched off?

A. Yes, the user can switch the tracking feature to ON or OFF on the phone menu, by

selecting the Change Options menu item.

Q. Can the access to the group management feature be restricted?

A. Yes, you can use an administrator password to restrict the access to the group

management functionalities.

Q. My tracking feature is activated. Why is the handset position not

displayed on the tracking web page?

A. Please check and adjust the date and time settings of the handset. This information

is used to validate that the GPS position is not outdated.
