iPAQ Image Viewer Help

iGuidance is designed for laptops/AutoPC running the Microsoft Windows Me, 2000 or XP operating system, and handheld devices running the Microsoft Pocket PC wm2003, wm2003se, and wm5 operating system. Since the map of the entire North America is very large, you must use the companion map loading software on your desktop PC (or laptop) to select the portion of the map that you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

For more info, access www.inavcorp.com/support/faq.html via internet.

Q: What is GPS?

A: GPS stands for Global Positioning System. It is a system of satellites launched by the United States Government used to calculate the coordinate position on the earth's surface.

Q: What is routing?

A: Routing is the calculation of a driving route from a start point to a destination.

Q: What is navigation?

A: Navigation is the turn-by-turn directions for assisting you through the driving route that has been calculated to your destination.

Q: What is voice enabled output (direction)?

A: Voice enabled output is the verbal directions for you to drive. Example: Turn Left in 1000 feet.

Q: How accurate is GPS?

A: GPS accuracy is dependent on the hardware you've purchased. Typically, GPS provide position accurate to 30 or 10 meters depending on your GPS receiver.

Q: Do I have to pay a monthly fee for the services?

A: No. There are no fees to use GPS.

Q: Will it work indoors?

A: No. GPS receivers require a view of the sky to receive the necessary signals from the satellites. Similarly, GPS will not work in a tunnel or under a freeway overpass, unless you have additional sensors such as compass, gyro, speed sensors, etc.

Q: Can someone track me with it?

A: No. People cannot track your movements. However, if you record a track, the track file will indicate your movement. If you do not wish other to know past locations, do not share the track files.

Q: What areas do the maps cover?

A: The maps cover most areas of the United States and Canada.

Q: How much extra memory do I need?

A: Memory requirement depends on how much map data you want to load on your handheld. The program application is about 11-12MB, and map file ranges from 6-80MB per state.

Q: Does it work with my Palm or Smart Phone device?

A: No. This software runs on most PC and Pocket PC operation system devices.

Q: Will it work in another country? Mexico, Japan, England?

A: While GPS can provide positional coordinate for the earth's surface as long as the receiver has a clear view of the sky (and the GPS satellites). However, maps, navigation and routing are only provided in United States and Canada and within the map coverage areas by iGuidance North America Edition.
