Basic terms and concepts:
Bluetooth GPS receiver - a device that receives signal from a satellite and sends it via bluetooth to your device. You can find a list of some GPS receivers here. To choose and activate GPS receiver, select view Settings, then General. In dialog General check on GPS Active and select Address ; Map - a map is prepared in a special program - MapEditor for PC . A map corresponds to some actual place. Maps can also be calibrated on your device. When you create a map, you can create POI and routes; All imported maps stored in folder \Documents\Media files\other\PN\Maps\; POI - points of interest; Route - several linked waypoints representing a route. Routes can be created in PowerNavigation or received with a map. To perform navigation along a route select dialog Routes, press button ">" and select Activate;
All imported routes stored in folder \Documents\Media files\other\PN\Routes\; Waypoint - a point with coordinates and an icon. Waypoints are joined into groups. If you need to set a waypoint as a destination point, you should open dialog Waypoints, select a necessary waypoint, press button ">" and select Activate. When a waypoint is reached PowerNavigation can play a sound in case it is set; Track - a totality of waypoints that are automatically saved during movement. A route can be created from a track, in order to do this select dialog Routes, press button ">" and select Add from track. A track can be played;
All imported tracks stored in folder \Documents\Media files\other\PN\Tracks\;
