Paragraphs which are not marked by this symbol concern installation on both a PC/TPC (PC Tablet) and a portable device of PocketPC/Windows Mobile/Windows CE type. The process of AutoMapa installation and registration is subject to the type of carrier on which the program was supplied. [. . . ] This option opens the panel of AutoMapa system's on-board computer. The panel is shown to the left, while its contents have been explained below: The meter section shows the presently selected set of meters. The meters comprise 4 independent sets of parameters displayed by the on-board computer. Each set is located on a separate screen, which can be switched by selecting the arrow keys. To reset the meters, select "Reset", from the bar at the bottom of the screen. To start/pause the calculations performed by the "Computer", use the "Pause" option. Meter sets A, B and C, are reset every time AutoMapa is started and GPS is activated, while set D is a "permanent" meter ­ it continues to run until manual reset. The speed section displays the following data on the given meter, from the left: maximum speed, average speed, and average speed including stopping time. The distance section displays the following data, from the left: the entire distance travelled since system activation (or meter reset) and the distance from the last stop. The route progress bar is displayed above, showing the percentage of the route travelled so far (only if the route has been previously mapped). The time section displays the following data, from the left: total driving time, total stopping time and driving time since the last stop. 2. 10. 4 POI Warnings POI warnings is a function which informs the user about approaching a point of a given category. It can be used to warn the user of dangerous points or traffic radars on the route. This function also notifies the user of points of interest in the area by displaying the relevant information, e. g. The POI warnings function is active in the show position mode and during navigation. When the warning function is activated, the system changes the scale of the displayed map to ensure the maximum visibility of the given POI. The "Warnings" window in the POI menu can be used to select POI categories and set the nature of the "warning" message. Two POI warnings categories are active by default: "Radar" and "Dangerous place". A given point category is selected by tapping on the squares displayed to the left of the category name. By tapping on the first, dark blue square, the user displays POI of the given category, which are built into the map. The second, grey square displays user-defined points (the first square of userdefined point category, whose name differs from the standard category, is greyed out). The "Options" and "View" buttons have identical functions to those on the "POI Display" screen. The number of POI warnings categories should be selected carefully to ensure that the main system functions are not disrupted during navigation. [. . . ] The "Extrapolate position" function can be turned on/off by selecting the setting you want in "GPS - Settings" in the main menu. In this option you can also manually specify the time when AutoMapa extrapolates/overtakes the GPS position obtained from the GPS receiver. This time depends on CPU speed, display rate and palmtop memory. 4. 2 Fixing GPS position If, after turning on the GPS receiver, the "Searching for GPS signal" is played, and after a dozen or so minutes the correct position is not found, that means the following: · · · receiver has been detected by AutoMapa, but it relays information in non-supported protocol (other than NMEA 0183), or automatic COM port detection failed, or GPS signal is interfered with resulting in a failure of the GPS receiver to calculate the current position (e. g. user remains indoors). It should be noted that the so-called cold start (i. e. [. . . ]
