6 Warnings and safety information

The Travel Companion is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected destination. It determines your exact location with the help of the built-in GPS device. The position information obtained from the GPS receiver is not transmitted elsewhere. Therefore, others cannot track you with the help of this application.

If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate the Travel Companion before beginning your journey. The driver's attention should always be on the road. Plan your route before departure, and pull over if you need to change route parameters.

It is also important that you look at the display only if it is absolutely safe to do so.

You should always observe traffic signs and road geometry before you obey any instruction from the Travel Companion. If you need to deviate from the recommended direction, the Travel Companion suggests a modified route according to the new situation.

Never place your Travel Companion where it can obstruct the view of the driver, is within the deployment zone of airbags, or where it can cause injuries in case of an accident.

7 Learn the basics

Your Travel Companion is a touch screen controlled device with limited hardware key functions. The device and the software are designed for easy operation. All controls are operable using your fingertips. Wherever possible, push buttons and lists are provided to make accessing functions or changing settings as easy as possible.

Hardware buttons

The majority of the Travel Companion functions can be accessed using the touch screen. Use the hardware buttons to perform the following functions:

Power on/off

Use the Power button to turn the power on or off. If the device is switched off, the GPS stops working. Consequently, your position is not calculated, the track log is not saved, and the navigation stops. When you turn the device on, your Travel Companion continues navigating as soon as the built-in GPS determines the location.

Multifunction wheel

The Multifunction wheel performs multiple functions.

Zoom in and out

2. Turn the wheel up or down to scroll through the list, and press it to jump to the highlighted subsystem. If you use the touch screen, you can directly select any of the list items, or tap the arrow below the list to turn the page.
3. Press and hold the button again or wait for a few seconds till the list disappears.

Screen buttons

Use the touch screen of your Travel Companion to know more about the different functions, to display information, and to launch different actions.

Some buttons on the screen are common to all or most screens, whereas some buttons appear when you tap the map to place the cursor.

Buttons on the top and the bottom of the screen

The blue bars on the top and the bottom of all screens contain buttons that initiate functions or lead to different parts of the application. The symbols on the buttons may provide information on the current state of the Travel Companion.

Selectors

In the following sections, you can find some of the controls frequently used in the Travel Companion.

Direct selectors

Some of the settings can be chosen from a list of possible values. If the values can be described graphically, icons are displayed on the screen.

Tap one of the icons to set/change the value.

Sometimes direct selectors appear as radio buttons. Tap either the button or the label to change the value.

List selectors

When the available values in the list need to be named, only the current value is displayed (sometimes with a short description) in a horizontal stripe with arrows at both ends.

The arrows are buttons. Tap to move left in the list or tap to move right. You need not confirm your selection. The selected value becomes effective immediately.

Sliders

When a feature has several different unnamed (numeric) values, the Travel Companion shows sliders to set the desired value. They look like analogue potentiometers.

If the value limits are not displayed at the ends of the slider, the leftmost or bottom position means the minimum value, while the rightmost or top position represents the maximum value.

With some sliders, you can check the current value at one end.

This control can be operated in two ways. Either drag the handle to move the slider to its new position, or tap the slider where you require the handle to appear (the thumb jumps there immediately). There is no need to confirm your selection. The selected value becomes effective immediately.

Switches

When a function can only have two values (mainly Enabled and Disabled), a switch is used. The horizontal line contains the name of the function and not the actual status. There is a check box on the left to show whether the function is active or not.

When the check mark is cleared or missing, it indicates that the function is not selected. When the check mark is selected or displayed, the function is selected or enabled. The entire strip performs as a button. Tap the strip to toggle between the enabled and disabled status.

Virtual keyboards

Your Travel Companion is designed to ensure that you only need to enter letters or numbers when it is inevitable. In these cases, a full screen keyboard pops up. It can be easily operated with your fingertips.

You can choose between a QWERTY keyboard that contains only letters, and a numeric keypad. There is a button reserved to switch between the two keyboard types.

The alphabetic keyboard in the Travel Companion does not contain special characters, because you do not need to enter accents when searching for a destination. Type only the base letters (the letter most similar to the accented one) and the Travel Companion searches for all the combinations in the database (for example, for the French street 'Cité Bergère' you only need to type 'Cite Bergere', and the application picks up the correct street name).

When you type in POI names or track log names, the Travel Companion automatically turns all initials into capitals to create names.

The QWERTY keyboard

The QWERTY keyboard has the same layout as the Standard English QWERTY keyboard. The only difference is that it contains no numbers and symbol keys. Only the alphabet and some special keys.

The special keys are as follows:

Button Function

	Toggles between the alphabetic and numeric keyboards.
	Inserts a space character in the entered text.

Map visualization

The current version of the Travel Companion is primarily intended for land navigation. That is why maps in the Travel Companion look similar to paper roadmaps (when using daytime colors and 2D map mode). However, the Travel Companion provides much more than regular paper maps can. The look and the contents can be changed.

Daylight and night color schemes

The daylight and night color schemes let you adjust the Travel Companion to the brightness of the environment. Use the daylight and night color schemes accordingly. Daylight colors are similar to paper roadmaps, while the night color schemes use dark tints for large objects to keep the average brightness of the screen low, with carefully selected colors to still keep you informed about all the necessary information on the screen.

You can change between day and night views manually in Settings, or let the Travel Companion do it automatically for you.

NOTE: The automatic day/night mode is based upon the current date and GPS position by which the Travel Companion calculates the exact sunrise and sunset times on the particular day at the particular location. Using that information the Travel Companion can automatically switch between the color schemes a few minutes before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset before it gets dark.

TIP: To further enhance the effect of the night color scheme, you can instruct the Travel Companion to decrease the display backlight when the night colors are used. Set the desired backlight levels for both daylight and night modes.

Current position and Lock-on-Road

When your GPS position is available, a blue arrow (yellow when using night colors) shows your location on the map.

The direction of the arrow represents your heading. The arrow is sized and vertically rotated with the zoom and tilt levels to always look realistic.

Your Travel Companion has a built-in Lock-on-Road feature that always puts the position arrow on the road, on the axis of the street in case of one-way streets, or on the side of the road where you drive (e.g. on the right in Germany and on the left in the U.K.) on two-way roads.

You always see this corrected position on the map. The position given by the GPS is not displayed, but this is the information recorded in the track log. When recorded track logs are displayed on the map, the line is not corrected. You see the positions reported by the GPS.

When the GPS position is lost, the arrow turns grey, but the journey continues on the recommended route for a short period of time with the speed last detected before the GPS position was lost. When the next route event is reached, or after 40 seconds, the arrow stops, and remains grey until GPS reception returns. This way short tunnels can be crossed without losing the position.

Selected map point, also known as the Cursor

If you tap the map somewhere and tap again or select a specific item in Go to, it becomes the selected point on the map, marked with a small red dot and permanently radiating red circles to make it conspicuous at all zoom levels, even when it is in the background of a 3D map view. You can use this point as starting point, Via point, or destination of your route, you can search for a POI near to it, or save it as a POI, a Favorite or the location of a road safety camera. The cursor, when visible, is also the reference point for map scaling.

NOTE: When your GPS position is available, and Lock-to-Position is active, the cursor is the current GPS position, the blue arrow. When you select another point by tapping the map, or using the Go to menu, the new Cursor is displayed on the display with the red dot and the radiating red circles.

Visible POIs (Points of Interest)

Your Travel Companion comes with thousands of built-in POIs, and you can create your own POI database as well.

POIs are represented by icons on the map. For a built-in POI it is the icon of the subcategory of the actual POI. For points you create, it is the icon you had chosen when you created the POI. POI icons can be changed later in Visual settings.

These icons are large enough to recognize the symbol, and semi-transparent so as not to cover the streets and junctions behind them.

When the map is zoomed out, the icons are not displayed. As you zoom in, icons appear based on their visibility settings.

Road safety cameras

Road safety cameras, such as speed cameras and red light cameras are special POI types in the Travel Companion.

Contacts

A different type of special POIs is Contacts. When the Travel Companion is started, it attempts to recognize the addresses in your Travel Companion's Contact database. All contacts with the address recognized are displayed as POIs in a group named Contacts.

If they exist, the Home, Work, and Other addresses of a contact are imported. For example if you have the home and office addresses of John Smith, you have two POIs, one called ‘John Smith (Home)’, and another one as ‘John Smith (Work)’.

Elements of the active Route

Your Travel Companion uses a multi-destination routing system in which you have a start point (normally your current GPS position), a destination, the line of the active leg of the route, and optionally Via points and inactive legs. They are all displayed on the map.

Start point, Via points, and destination

You have the following features on any active route while you are at a start point, at Via points, or at the destination.

Active leg of the route

The active leg is the section of the route you are currently driving. If you have not added any Via points, the whole route is the active leg. When Via points are present, the active leg is the part leading from your location to the next Via point. The active section is displayed in light green (red when using night colors). It is always the most conspicuous part of the map even when in the background of a 3D map view. The line of the route is displayed on the driving side of the road for two-way and on the axis in case of one-way streets. When the map is zoomed in and the line is wide enough, small arrows show the direction of the route. This can be useful if you preview the route before starting the journey or when entering a complex junction.

Inactive legs of the route

Future sections of a route are inactive. They are also displayed on the map with the same color but a darker tint than the active one. An inactive route section becomes active as soon as you reach its starting Via point. Roads in the route can be excluded by setting required preferences. Although you can choose whether to include or avoid some road types in Route settings, sometimes they are impossible to avoid near the starting point, Via points, or the destination. If so, the Travel Companion displays those segments of the route with an alternate color.

Turn preview

On the Map screens this field shows a graphic illustration of the next maneuver. For example when you approach a turn, an arrow shows whether it is a slight, normal or sharp turn. When showing a roundabout, the number of the exit is also given.

This field also serves as a button. Tap it to display the turn preview in large in the top left corner of the map. Tap again to disable the large turn preview.

Cursor (the selected map point)

If you tap the map somewhere twice or select one specific item in Go to, it becomes the selected point on the map, marked with a small red dot and radiating red circles to make it conspicuous. You can use this point as starting point, Via point, or destination for your route, you can search for a POI near it, or save it as a POI, a Favorite, or a road safety camera.

Track Log recording/playback indicator

When a track log is being recorded, a 📄 icon is displayed on the map screens. This icon also functions as a button leading to the Track Log screen where you can stop the recording or make the track log visible on the map.

During track log playback a icon is displayed. Tapping this icon (in fact, tapping the screen anywhere) stops the simulation.

Cursor menu

The Cursor is the selected point on the map (marked by a red dot and radiating red circles around it), or the current GPS position when it is available and Lock-to-Position is enabled.

Tapping the 📄, or using the Go to menu, the map with the Cursor menu is displayed to give you the list of possible functions you can use the Cursor for.

The content of the Cursor menu is slightly different if there is an active route already planned, and if you are near to a route point. You have the following options:

Button Function
Set as Start Use the Cursor as the departure point for your route. This disables routing from the current GPS position and automatic off-route recalculation. If a route existed before, the Via points and the destination remains the same.
Remove Start This button replaces “Set as Start”, if the Cursor is at or near to the start point of the route. Tap it to remove the start point of the route.
Add Via By inserting the selected map point as a via, you instruct the Travel Companion to cross this location before the destination of the route. This is the way to build a multi-point route in reverse order (when you wish to insert a stopover ‘go to A but first get some fuel at B’ or you need to influence the direction of the route). This menu point works only if a route is already active.
Remove Via This button replaces “Add Via”, if the Cursor is at or near to any of the Via points of the route. Tap it to remove that particular Via point from the route.
Continue	This button adds a new final destination after the previous destination. The new destination replaces the old one, which is now demoted to a Via point. This is the way to build your multi-point route in straight order (when you wish to visit several destinations ‘go to A then to B’). This menu point is available only if a route is already active.
Set as Destination Use the Cursor as the destination of your route. This button is to start a new route. The previous route (if it exists) is deleted and replaced. If a multi-point route is active, the Travel Companion asks you whether you really need to delete it together with all its Via points.
Remove Destination	This button replaces “Set as Destination”, if the Cursor is at or near to the destination of the route. Tap it to remove the destination of the route promoting the last Via point as the new destination.
Save as Favorite Save the cursor as one of your favorite destinations. Select one position in the Favorite list, and it is filled/replaced with the details of the cursor.
Add POI Save the cursor as a user POI. Give a name, an icon, and select a POI group for the new POI.
Add Speedcam Save the Cursor as the position of a road safety camera. Select the type, the direction of the camera, and the speed limit checked.
Edit Speedcam	This button replaces Add Speedcam, if the Cursor is at or near to a position of a road safety camera. Tap it to edit the details of the camera.

POI Info This button opens a list of POIs near the Cursor.

Current street

If you tap the Next street field on the map screens, the current street name is displayed for a few seconds.

Distance to next turn

This field shows the distance to go before reaching the next route event (turn, roundabout, exit, etc.). This field is only displayed when navigating a route.

Next street/Next city

This field shows the road or street that comes next in the route itinerary.

If you are not yet in the city or town where this next street is, the Travel Companion displays the name of the settlement instead of the name of the road or street. A bullet symbol appears next to the name of settlement to help you identify them apart from street names.

This field is only displayed when navigating a route.

13 Route

This menu contains options to manage your routes and track logs.

Edit Route

To edit a route, you need to be aware of all waypoints used in the route. The first item in the list is the departure point of the route without a valid GPS position. The list contains the last reached Via point or the point where the Travel Companion recalculated the route. This means the list is permanently updated, and Via points drop out during the journey. The last item in the list is your final destination.

Use the scroll bar to browse through the list and tap any list item to highlight it. You can perform the following actions:

Buttons Function
	Moves the highlighted route point up in the list.
	Moves the highlighted route point down in the list.
	Selects a new point to add to the list below the highlighted route point.
	Deletes the highlighted route point.
	Optimizes the route sequence. Optimization is for Via points only. Your starting point and destination remain in their positions.

Route Detail

This function opens the itinerary (route event) list of the active route.

All significant junctions are displayed in the list, even ones to be passed.

The Itinerary is live and constantly updated when navigating a route. The list item coming next in navigation is the highlighted one until you tap another item in the list to highlight it. After that, the highlight remains on the item you have selected.

Tap any of the list items to have it displayed on the map. This helps you identify route events in the list. Other available functions on this screen are:

Buttons Function

Deletes all route events. The whole route is deleted.

Saves the route.

Saved Routes

This function opens the list of saved routes.

All significant junctions are displayed in the list, even the ones that have still to be passed. Tap any of the list items to change its name. Other available functions on this screen:

Buttons Function

Deletes the route it is displayed next to.

Deletes all saved routes.

Route Info

The Route Information screen has all the data and some functions that you might need while navigating. Without an active route some icons are inactive, and route data cannot be displayed.

Route data displayed (for destination and Via points)

The route data displays information about the current route. These fields are continuously updated while you keep this screen open.

When you open the screen, you will see all fields contain information on reaching your final destination. Tap any of the fields to see data on the Via points starting from the first one through the final destination again. You can see the following options on the screen:

- Route line

The upper part of this screen shows your planned route as a horizontal line. Its leftmost point is the start of the route, the rightmost one is the final destination, and you can see your Via point flags along the line, spaced in proportion to their distance.

The blue (yellow when using night colors) arrow representing your position travels from the left to the right, giving you visual feedback of your journey.

When you reach a Via point, it becomes the starting point of the route, the past is deleted. The line with all the other Via points are modified instantly, and the arrow jumps back to the left.

When the Travel Companion needs to recalculate the route, the arrow does not jump back to the left as when reaching a Via point. It might drift a bit as the length of the new route may be different from the previous one.

When the data corresponding to the entire route is displayed in the fields below, the line is colored the same way as the road type displayed on the map. When you see data that belongs to a Via point, the route is colored only up to that Via point. The rest of the line remains grey.

• Destination/Via point

This field shows the exact address (or its co-ordinates if the address is not available) of the final destination.

If Via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the address or co-ordinates of the first, second, etc. Via point.

• Estimated Arrival

This field shows the estimated arrival time at the final destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route. The calculation cannot take into account traffic jams and other possible delays.

If Via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the estimated arrival at the first, second, etc. Via point.

• Distance Left

This is the distance you need to travel on the route before reaching your final destination.

If Via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the distance to reach the first, second, or next Via point.

Time Left

This field shows the time needed to reach the final destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route. The calculation cannot take into account traffic jams and other possible delays.

If Via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the time needed to reach the first, second Via point.

Method

This field shows how the route was calculated. It either displays the 'Route' or the 'Vehicle' field from the Route settings. If you have chosen Car, Taxi, Bus, or Lorry, the type of the route (Fast, Short, or Economical) is displayed here; if you have selected Bicycle, this information is displayed here.

Warning icons

The following 5 squares are normally empty. Some of them show a graphical symbol in case warning (s) are attached to the planned route. These are warnings, so icons always show information for the whole route, even if the data fields display values from your current position to a Via point only.

Tap on any of the icons to show its description. A few samples of the available icons:

• This icon shows that you need to pay toll on the recommended route.
• This icon shows that the route contains motorways. Tap the icon to see the total length of torways in the recommended route.
• This icon shows that toll motorways are included in the recommended route.
• This icon shows that you need to board a ferry along the recommended route.
• This icon shows that you need to pay for the ferry.
• This icon is displayed when the Travel Companion could not plan a route with all your stated road type preferences. Sometimes it is impossible to find a suitable route near the start destination.
• This icon warns you that the Travel Companion had to recommend a route that does not all your preferences given at the Route Parameters settings.
• The recommended route contains unpaved roads.
  – The recommended route contains roads that require a permit or permission to enter.
  – Information – any other piece of relevant but not categorized information. Tap the icon to e content.
  – displayed when more than 5 warnings apply for the recommended route.

Other functions

You also have the following options on this screen:

Buttons Function

Fit to screen – opens the map with a 2D North-up view, and shows an overview of the whole recommended route.

Buttons Function
	Settings – Opens theRoute settingsscreen
	Simulation - this feature has no navigation function, it merely provides a quick view of the route. It presents a simulation of the route showing what you might see later when navigating.You can choose from two different kinds of simulations:Fly Over:The route is simulated with high speed.Simulate:The route is simulated with the speed identical to the speed limit on the streets and roads in the route.

Manage Track Logs

Using the Travel Companion it is also possible to save the track logs of your journeys. This screen lets you manage all your track logs. When it comes up, it shows a list of all track logs already saved.

The original name of a track log is the date and time when it was recorded. You can change the name to something more meaningful if you wish.

Each track log has a color, displayed to the left of its name, when the track log is visible on the map. If the track is not visible, a horizontal line is displayed. Tapping the line of the highlighted track log toggles between showing and hiding that log. The track log is drawn on the map using the color next to its name.

TIP: When a track log is being recorded, a new line is displayed in this list with a horizontal line, as newly recorded track logs are not displayed on the map normally.

On this screen you have the following options:

Button Function
	Initiates track log recording. A new line is displayed in the list, and GPS position data is saved until you stop the recording or exit the Travel Companion. A icon is displayed on the map to let you know that a recording is in progress. Tapping that icon opens this Track Log screen.
	Stops track log recording.
	This icon displays the color of the track log line on the map. A horizontal line means the track log is not displayed on the map. Tap this box to toggle between showing and hiding the track log.
	Deletes the track log it is displayed next to.

Tap any of the track log names in the list to open a new screen with the details of that track log. On this screen you have the following options:

Button Function

	Changes the color of the track log.
	Opens a new screen where you can change the name of the track log.
	Exports the track log to an inserted SD card in GPX format.

14 Settings

Your Travel Companion provides several settings to help you customize functions. The Settings screen can be accessed directly from the Main menu screen, while some of its sub-screens are accessible from other parts of the Travel Companion.

Visual settings

You can set a few parameters that determine the appearance of your Travel Companion.

3D settings

The Travel Companion is capable of displaying the map and several objects in 3D. It has an extremely fast graphic engine that is capable of moving detailed maps at high speed. The lesser the 3D details, the faster your Travel Companion can draw and move the map..

Landmarks

3D landmarks that come with the map can be displayed or hidden.

Elevated roads

Roads can be elevated to enhance visibility, and to better recognize complex junctions with flyovers. You can suppress elevation to view a road network that looks like a conventional map.

Buildings

3D buildings can slow down map visualization and can make the map dense. Turn this feature on or off to configure the Travel Companion to display only the closest buildings or buildings far ahead.

Terrain

Terrain can be displayed using rich 3D details, less detailed, or even turned off.

Backlight settings

You can set the behavior of the display backlight when using your Travel Companion.

These settings are independent of other applications in the device.

Brightness

You can set the backlight level separately for both daylight and night modes, thus enhancing the effect of the night color scheme.

Power management

You can set behavior of backlight when the screen has been untouched for a while.

Backlight always on

You can choose to have the backlight always on.

Smart Powersave

When running on battery, Smart Powersave lights up the screen only when you press a button or tap the screen. After a few seconds, the light level decreases, and after another few seconds, the backlight turns off. This helps you conserve the battery and achieve a longer battery life.

Map settings

These settings determine how maps are displayed on the Travel Companion.

Alternative Road Names

Some highways have an international name or number for foreign travelers. You can decide whether to show only the local name or both.

Show Street Labels

You can set whether or not to see the names of the streets and the POI icons on the map while driving. Based on the current zoom and tilt levels, street names are displayed either aligned with the street or on signposts on the streets (Streets and roads). If you switch these signs on, it is easier to recognize your location on the map. If you turn them off, it is easier to see the road geometry.

NOTE: You can only disable street names and POI icons if the Travel Companion follows your position. As soon as you move the map and Lock-to-Position is disabled, street names and icons become visible

again. Tap to re-enable Lock-to-Position and have the labels and icons disappear again.

2D/3D map view

In 2D map view mode, the map is displayed in a conventional top-down view with a fixed North-up orientation. You cannot tilt or rotate the map. The elevation of the map is displayed with colors and shading similar to a topographic map.

In 3D map view mode, the map shows a perspective view. You can change the vertical angle of the view, you can rotate the map, and turn 3D map elements on or off.

POI visibility

The maps in the Travel Companion come with a huge number of POIs. Displaying all of them would make the screen too crowded. In order to avoid this, you can decide which POI groups to show and which ones to hide on the map, and how close you need to zoom in to start seeing a particular POI group. Your Travel Companion has a multi-level POI category system. You can set the visibility of all levels. Subgroups can inherit the visibility settings of the group, but you can also assign different settings to any subgroup.

To view POIs:

1. When you tap the button, you will see the list of the top-level POI groups is displayed:
2. Tap any of the group names to see the list of its subgroups.

The two screens are similar. You have the following buttons on these screens:

Button Function

This POI group has subgroups. Tap this, or the name of the groups to see the list of its subgroups.

Button Function
	This POI group has no subgroups. Tapping it does not perform any action.
	The POI group is not displayed on the map. However, some of its subgroups might be displayed according to their individual settings.
	The POI group is displayed on the map starting from this zoom level. Some of its subgroups might be hidden, or displayed from different zoom levels according to their individual settings.
	Tap this button to edit the visibility of the POI group.

1. When you edit the visibility of a POI group or subgroup, a new screen is displayed:

You have the following options:

Button Function

All in Current Category Check this box, and the visibility level of all the subgroups

of the edited POI category is overwritten with the value set here. This does not start any dependency between the group and its subgroups. If you wish to have uniform visibility for the whole group, tap the button again.

Night mode

Using the automatic night mode, your Travel Companion switches between the daylight and night color schemes a few minutes before sunrise and a few minutes after sunset based on the time and location information provided by your GPS. Set Night mode permanently on or off to display only the daylight or the night color scheme.

Zoom settings

The Auto zoom (or Smart zoom) feature offers a lot more than just the usual automatic zoom.

• While navigating a route: When approaching a turn, it zooms in and raises the view angle to let you easily recognize your manoeuvre at the next junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it zooms out and lowers the view angle to be flat to let you see the road in front of you. It can switch to an Overview mode to let you follow your position on the map.
• While cruising: If there is no active route and you are just cruising, Smart zoom can zoom in if you drive slowly and zoom out when you drive at a high speed.

Auto zoom

Turn Auto zoom on to configure your Travel Companion to perform the automatic map scaling and tilting. You can turn off this feature to navigate with a fixed zoom level and vertical view angle.

Restore Lock-to-Position and Smart Zoom

You can move, rotate, tilt, and zoom the map during navigation.

When you rotate, tilt, or zoom the map, the map follows your position but does not change the view

parameter you have modified. Tap to return to the full Smart Zoom mode.

If you move the map, all parts of Smart Zoom are deactivated, and the view freezes. Tap to configure your Travel Companion to follow your position (Lock-to-Position) and re-enable Smart Zoom.

Turning on Restore Lock-to-Position configures the Travel Companion to automatically lock to the position after a few seconds of inactivity.

You can also set the time-out. Shorter delays are best if you tend to accidentally change the map display, but you might prefer a longer delay if you often look for things around your position while driving.

WARNING! Remember to look at the display only if it is absolutely safe to do so.

NOTE: If you tap before this automatic feature comes into effect, Smart Zoom and Lock-to-Position is re-enabled instantly.

Zoom in after find

When the Zoom in after find feature is turned off, the Travel Companion centers the map to the location selected in Go to but does not change the zoom level. If you turn this feature on, the Travel Companion zooms in to the selected point.

The zoom level in this case depends on the type of object you have searched for. For example, in the case of a city search, the zoom level shows you the whole region/state or at least a significant part of it around its centre. Selecting a POI, a junction or an exact address gives you a closer look with only a few streets on the display.

Overview mode

Turn this feature on, and the Overview mode is triggered when the next turn is at a distance.

Turn distance determines when the Travel Companion switches to the Overview and back to the Navigation view. If the distance from the next route event is more than the value set here, the map view switches to Overview mode, a top-down, North-up oriented map view with a zoom level that enables you to see a larger part of the map around your position. As you approach the route event, normal navigation returns automatically.

The Overview zoom level determines the fixed zoom level of the map in the Overview mode. You can change the zoom level manually at any time, but when you enter the Overview mode again, the zoom level is reset to this value.

Sound settings

You can configure the parameters to determine the sounds and sound alerts on your Travel Companion on this screen.

Voice guidance

You can turn on the audible guidance (voice instructions and speed camera warning) by selecting the Voice check box. Move the voice slider to adjust the loudness of voice prompts.

• Moving the voice slider to the leftmost position suppresses the voice guidance.
• Moving the voice slider to the rightmost position applies the master volume.

Key sounds

You can turn on key sounds by selecting the Keys check box, which is placed below the Voice check box. Key sounds are audible confirmations of either pressing hardware buttons or tapping the touch screen.

NOTE: The sound effects on your Travel Companion are context sensitive. They are different if, for example you open or close a window, or enable or disable a setting. These effects indicate if you have entered enough letters of a street name to have a short list of matching street names displayed on the screen.

Dynamic Volume

When driving at a high speed, the noise in the car might be too loud to clearly understand the voice guidance messages and perceive the key sounds. Using Dynamic Volume, you can configure your Travel Companion to increase the volume when your speed exceeds a certain minimum, and reach its highest volume at the given maximum speed.

To change dynamic volume:

1. Tap Dynamic Volume to turn on the feature.
2. Move the slider to set the minimum and maximum speeds.

Route settings

You can use the Route settings screen to determine how routes are calculated.

This screen is also accessible from the Route Information screen.

Vehicle

You can set the type of the vehicle that you might use to navigate the route. Based upon this setting, certain road types are excluded from the route, or some of the restrictions might not be taken into account.

Additionally, when either Bus or Lorry is chosen, the Travel Companion assumes that high speeds cannot be achieved, and this information is taken into account when calculating the route, the estimated time enroute (ETE), and the estimated time of arrival (ETA).

You can choose the type of vehicle from the available values:

Car
• Taxi
Bus
Lorry
Bicycle

Route calculation method

You can choose from three different route types.

Short

Choosing Short results in a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes between the given points. This is usually preferred by cyclists or slow vehicles.

Fast

Choosing Fast results in the quickest possible route, given that you can travel at or near the speed limits on all included roads. This is usually preferred for fast and normal cars.

Economical

This setting is a combination of the previous two. Although it is used to select the fastest solution, if there is another route taking a bit more time but a lot less distance compared to the fastest one, your Travel Companion chooses this one instead to save fuel.

Off-route recalculation

Once a route is planned, this setting offers options on what to do when you deviate from that route.

Automatic

The route is recalculated automatically a few seconds after you go astray.

Off

If you stick to the original route, and you wish to get back to it on your own, you can disable recalculation. Guidance stops until you return to the recommended route.

Avoidances

To select the route that fits your needs, you can also set which road types are to be considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible.

- On Check items to avoid screen, select the road type you require to avoid.

- Clear the check box to use the specific road type.

NOTE: Excluding a road type does not necessarily mean that the road type can be completely avoided on your routes. If your destination can only be accessed by using some of the excluded road types, your Travel Companion uses them minimally. In this case a warning icon is displayed on the Route Information screen, and the road that does not match your preference is displayed using an alternate color on the map.

Unpaved Roads

Unpaved roads are excluded by default, as they can be in a bad condition and you usually cannot reach the speed limit on them.

Motorways

When driving a slow car or towing another vehicle, you might prefer to avoid motorways.

Ferries

The accessibility of temporary ferries is not necessarily included in the map data. Additionally, since you might need to pay a fare, you could consider disabling them.

Cross-border planning

By default your Travel Companion plans routes using the border crossing points. However, if you live near the border, you can disable border crossing with this switch to remain within one country.

U-turns

Although displayed along with road types, this is a type of action. Most drivers prefer to replace them with a few normal left and/or right turns at the next junctions. This option is selected by default, as Avoid.

Turning back on dual carriageways is not considered as a U-turn.

NOTE: U-turns handle Via points as stopovers with regards to U-turns. It means disabling U-turns on this screen avoids U-turns during the entire route if possible, but when reaching a Via point, the subsequent part of the route might be planned starting in the opposite direction.

Permit needed

To access certain roads or areas, you might need a special permit or permission from the owners. These roads are excluded from your routes by default. Clear the check box if your vehicle is authorized to enter these roads.

Toll roads

You can select this option to disable Toll roads and configure your Travel Companion to plan the best toll-free route, you may have to travel more to avoid paying a toll.

Carpool lanes (for the USA map only)

You can configure your Travel Companion to use carpool lanes when planning routes. These lanes are currently available in the USA only.

This option is displayed only if the USA map is available in the Travel Companion.

Keep position on road

Your Travel Companion is intended for use primarily for vehicle navigation. Therefore Lock-on-Road displays the position arrow precisely over roads, and corrects small GPS errors.

NOTE: By turning off Lock-on-Road you also turn off the GPS position error filtering. The position displayed on the map is subject to possible position errors and position fluctuations.

Regional settings

On the Regional settings screen, you can set the languages, measurement units, and date and time formats used by your Travel Companion.

Language

Warn when speeding

Maps might contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. You can configure your Travel Companion to warn you when you exceed the current limit. This information is region-specific and might not be available for your region (ask your local dealer) or might not be fully correct for all roads in the map. Use this option to determine whether you need to receive the warnings or not.

You can set two different kinds of behavior for the warning: One is applied up to a certain speed limit and another that is used at speeds limits above that.

Speeding tolerance

You can configure the warning to prompt you when you exceed the speed limit percentage specified here.

Both positive and negative values can be given.

Alternative speed limit

If the speed limit of the current road segment equals or is above this limit, the speed warning uses the Alternative speeding tolerance instead of the previous one.

Move the slider to its right-most position to turn off the alternative speed warning. This way the Speeding tolerance slider determines the warning for all roads.

Alternative speeding tolerance

If the speed limit of the current road reaches the value set at Alternative speed limit, this setting replaces Speeding tolerance. The slider works exactly as for Speeding tolerance.

Enable safety cameras

Your Travel Companion can warn you when you approach known speed and red light cameras previously uploaded or copied into the device, or saved manually in the software. This can be done using the Cursor menu.

On this screen you can enable or disable the visible and audible warning for known cameras.

⚠ WARNING! Detecting the location of speed cameras might be prohibited by law in certain countries or regions. Be sure to check if it is legal before you turn on this warning.

15 Navigation extras

You can use the additional features of the Travel Companion to enhance your travel experience.

Trip Planner

Your Travel Companion includes access to HP iPAQ trip planning services. Visit http://www.ipaq.com to learn about the latest services and content available. Here you will find the free Web-based trip planning service that allows you to personalize your travel by creating custom trip itineraries that you can transfer to your Travel Companion for use during your travels.

Traffic Message Channel (TMC)

Your Travel Companion can provide you with better routes if Traffic Message Channel (TMC) information is available. TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information.

NOTE: TMC is not a global service. It might not be available in your country or region. Ask your local dealer for coverage details.

You need a TMC receiver attached to your Travel Companion to receive TMC information. To learn more about compatible TMC solutions for your area, visit http://www.hp.com/accessories/ipaq.

If public TMC data is broadcast at your location, the Travel Companion automatically takes into account the TMC information received. The receiver automatically searches the FM radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information is immediately used in route planning. As soon as the Travel Companion receives traffic information that might affect your route, the Travel Companion warns you that it is recalculating the route. Navigation then continues with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic conditions.

List of traffic messages

Tap Traffic Messages in the Navigation Extras menu for a list of the nearest TMC events. The list is arranged by the distance from your current location.

Use the scroll bar to navigate through the screens, and see traffic difficulties farther away from your current position. You can alternately use one of the following options:

Button Function

	Opens a new screen to configure the TMC subsystem.
	Shows the highlighted traffic difficulty on the map fit to the screen size.
	Opens a new screen to maintain the TMC receiver and radio stations.

TMC configuration

You can configure TMC using following features:

- Subscribe to TMC

To receive a TMC data from a source, which needs subscription, you need to subscribe to it. Tap Subscribe TMC to subscribe. A new screen is displayed. Fill in the required details, tap the Web site and enter details when prompted. Tap Enter code, and enter the received TMC subscription code. Tap Done when finished.

NOTE: This button is displayed only if you are in a country where the subscribed TMC services can be used with the help of the Travel Companion.

• Recalculate to avoid traffic

You can enable or disable recalculation of the route during navigation based on TMC information. Disabling the route does not prevent the system from using TMC data for route planning, but does not trigger an automatic recalculation when the traffic conditions change during your journey.

- Sort events by distance/type

The list of traffic events can be ordered by their distance from the current position, or by their type.

Event list

You can choose to display certain TMC event types in the Event list or choose All events to show all types.

TMC radio settings

This screen shows the selected TMC source and allows you to change the radio settings.

Selected FM radio station

The name and frequency of the selected radio station is displayed. The signal strength information is indicated by a bar.

The radio can be tuned manually with the plus and minus buttons, or it can be automatic if auto tuner is selected. With auto tuner, the radio scans the frequency range, tests every radio station for TMC data, and stops when the first TMC source is found.

If there are no radio stations broadcasting TMC data in your area, and auto tuner is turned on, the receiver keeps searching for the radio station. You can see the frequency continuously sweeping across the FM CCIR radio band (87.5-108 MHz). When you move to an area with TMC information, the indicator shows the frequency, and detailed information for the TMC station.

Exclude selected station

If you wish to receive TMC data from a different radio station, tap this button. After the current radio station is added to the list of excluded stations, the Travel Companion searches for another TMC station, and skips the excluded station in future.

Show excluded stations

This button opens the list of excluded radio stations. Tap any of the stations in the list, then tap

to let the Travel Companion accept TMC information from this station.

16 GPS data screen

The GPS data screen is a collection of information received from the GPS device. The GPS data screen displays the visible part of the sky above you, with your position as the centre. The satellites are displayed at their current positions. The GPS receives data from both the green and yellow satellites. Signals from the yellow satellites are only received. The green ones are used by the GPS to calculate your current location. You can also view the satellite signal strength bars. The grey bars are for the yellow satellites and colored bars are for the green satellites. The more satellites your GPS tracks (the green ones), the more accurate your calculated position is.

The GPS data screen also includes information like current position in latitude/longitude format, elevation, speed, date, time, the GPS connection status, and calculated accuracy.

NOTE: Accuracy can be affected by several factors that Travel Companion cannot take into account. Use this accuracy information only as an estimation.

17 About screen

You can access this screen from the main page by tapping Settings > System > About. The screen provides information on the maps and licenses you have installed on your Travel Companion.

18 Outlook synchronization

The HP iPAQ Outlook Synchronizer can synchronize contact entries between your computer's Outlook database and the Travel Companion, as well as back up, and restoring the entire contacts database.

NOTE: You need to install the HP iPAQ Outlook Synchronizer that is available on the Getting Started CD or visit http://www.ipaq.com for downloading this application before you begin using it.

The synchronization tool can be launched from the Start menu through All programs > HP IPAQ Outlook Synchronizer.

You can select any of the following options:

• Data backup: launches the backup application, which lets you save the entire contact database to a file on your hard drive and restore the saved database to the Travel Companion.
• Settings: launches the Settings screen.
  • Start: launches the outlook synchronization tool.

If an entry has changed in either Outlook or on the device, or in both places, the synchronizing tool will either ask which version is to be retained, or resolve the conflict automatically, depending on the configuration. The Travel Companion can resolve conflicts automatically or prompts user.

The tool minimizes on the task bar and detects and synchronizes automatically when a device is connected.

You can select any of the following options:

• Synchronize automatically: When enabled, the tool synchronizes with the device immediately whenever it is connected.
  • Start with Windows: When enabled, the tool launches when Windows boots.
• Conflict handling: When enabled, the tool determines what to do if a contact has been changed both in Outlook and on the device after the last synchronization.

The main screen for Outlook synchronization offers the following options:

• Tap Settings to see the configuration options.
  Tap Minimize to minimize the window to the task bar.
  • Tap Close to exit the application.

The device status is indicated at the bottom of the window. When the device is connected, Sync! becomes active. When you click it, the progress bar shows the overall progress, and the device status is Synchronization is in progress. Also the window displays what is being synchronized.
