Introduction
If you’re constantly on the road but hate to
hassle with paper maps, let the Socket GPS
Nav Kit with Bluetooth Wireless
Technology steer you in the right direction.
It’s the ideal solution for in-car navigation
with a Pocket PC or notebook computer.
The in-car navigation software features
human voice prompts, including detailed
turn-by-turn directions. The software
automatically re-calculates your journey in
case you veer off course.
All you need is a Bluetooth enabled Pocket PC 2002/2003 or Windows
98SE/Me/2000/XP notebook computer. The included GPS Receiver allows
you to take advantage of your mobile computer’s Bluetooth capability to
wirelessly add GPS positioning technology. If your mobile computer does
not have Bluetooth functionality, it’s easy to add with Socket’s Connection
Kit with Bluetooth Wireless Technology (CompactFlash or SDIO card with
user-friendly software). There’s even a kit with a PC Card adapter and
software for adding Bluetooth capability to a notebook computer.

Do not expose the GPS Receiver to temperatures above 60° C (140° F),
such as in a car under direct sunlight. Exposure of the GPS Receiver to
high temperatures can shorten the electronic device’s life, melt or drape the
plastic housing, damage the internal battery, and increase the risk of
