Using GPS Locate
Getting Acquainted
Your HP iPAQ includes Global
Positioning System (GPS) Navigation
technology; therefore it is capable of
using GPS software applications that
are compatible with this device. The
GPS technology on your HP iPAQ is
based on a worldwide system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that
continuously transmit digital radio signals. These radio signals contain data on the
satellites’ locations and their exact clock time and are used to determine your
location on the earth.
With your GPS capable device, you can use navigation software from other
third-party companies. For GPS navigation solutions recommended by HP,
visit www.hp.com/go/gpsnavigation. However, before you purchase, download
or install any GPS software, you must determine that the application is compatible
with this device. Check with the GPS software supplier to see if their software is
compatible with the HP iPAQ hw6500 Mobile Messenger series.
Setting Up Your HP iPAQ
First follow the instructions in the printed Getting Started document until you
complete creating a partnership with your personal computer. This includes
installing the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and battery, synchronizing your HP
iPAQ you’re your personal computer, and establishing a partnership.
Setting Up Internet Access on Your HP iPAQ
Now that you have completed the steps in the Getting Started document, verify
you have Internet access on your HP iPAQ by visiting a web site such as
www.google.com or www.yahoo.com . If you cannot access the Internet, take
your HP iPAQ out of the cradle and use a GPRS connection.

Using HP iPAQ Quick GPS
Connection Utility
To improve GPS hardware performance,
you need to enable the HP iPAQ Quick

be longer.
Initiate GPRS Connection for updates—This setting allows Quick GPS
Connection updates to your device over the air via GPRS.

Important Message
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.
-
The road network and traffic conditions in the real world are ever changing, MapKing
being a pre-packaged product cannot reflect all these changes on a constant basis.
-
Road network parameters specifically required for route planning, like one-way traffic
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.
