IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING THE USE OF
MAPKING™ BY VEHICLE DRIVER:
TO ENSURE SAFETY DRIVING, WE STRONGLY ADVISE THAT A DRIVER SHOULD
NOT OPERATE MAPKING™ WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SIMULTANEOULSY. A
DRIVER SHOULD NEVER FOCUS HIS OR HER ATTENTION ON THE MAPKING™
DISPLAY WHILE DRIVING.
In case MapKing™ needs to be used inside a vehicle, we suggest that it should be
operated by a passenger other than the driver or the driver should stop the vehicle at a
convenient spot before starting to use MapKing™.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING ROUTE PLANNING :
The route planning function of MapKing™ is ONLY meant to be and should ONLY be used
as a crude reference. IT SHOULD NEVER BE USED TO DETERMINE ACTUAL DRIVING
DIRECTIONS. The Route Planning function of MapKing™ is subject to the following
limitations :
- Whilst we have taken great care and endeavors in developing the product, we
CANNOT guarantee that the road network data and routing calculations of MapKing™ are
free of any omission or defect.
-
MapKing™ being a pre-packaged product cannot reflect all these changes on a constant
basis.
-
indicator or turn restrictions at street crossing, are difficult or almost impossible to obtain
for China or some other Asian countries. The lack of these data would significantly affect
the performance of route planning.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING GPS
( Global Positioning System ) TRACKING:
The GPS tracking function of MapKing™ works on GPS satellite signals broadcasted for
civilian use. It is subject to inherent signal deviations and environmental interferences
caused by surroundings and bad weather. We cannot guarantee nor specify a precise
level of accuracy for the GPS positioning data displayed by MapKing™. It should also be
noted that the Unites States Department of Defense, who builds and operates the GPS
system, is free to turn off or down-grade the civilian signals of GPS during rare occasions
like regional military conflict. Although MapKing™ should work with most GPS receivers
on NMEA0183 signal output format regardless of their brand name or model, we cannot
guarantee that MapKing™ integrates flawlessly with ALL GPS receivers available in the
market.
