Welcome to the JoyRoute™ Navigation Software Program!
The Joyride™ system has an optionalGlobal Positioning System-based (GPS) navigation system
that provides turn-by-turninstructions using the computer’s wavefiles and Text-to-Speech(TTS)
to audibly guide you to a calculated destination. When selected, its TTSengine also reads back
street names at critical-turn maneuvers along a route. A Universal Serial Bus(USB) Navigation
module encloses Dead Reckoningsensor inputs(GPS, speed pulse, and gyro) for accurate car
positioningand interaction with your car’s speed pulsesignal.
Directional icons and trip information also appear on the mapdisplay. Based on information
you enter or select, JoyRoute™ Navigation software will automatically calculate a routeand
announce all maneuvers. Other features in the program allow you to preview the entire route,
calculate a route based on time or distance, or check the status of all the system components.
Self-initiated calibration - Depending on the make of car, when Navigation is first launched,
the system requires that the car be driven about 1/2 hour to calibrate the speed pulse infor-
mation. This is required for accurate GPS car positioning.
During calibration it is likely that the car position may not update or will not match the road
traveled correctly. Calibration will only occur the first time navigation software is installed or if
the navigation software is reinstalled after a cold boot.
