SECTION 1: WHAT IS GPS? The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a network of satellites launched by the U.S. military in the 1970s. The satellites continuously transmit accurate time and position information, which is freely used by commercial and military applications worldwide. GPS receivers, such as Delphi Mobile Navigation, are designed to pick up the high-frequency radio signals from these satellites and use the information to help determine your exact location.
Memory cards Delphi Mobile Navigation has 64 megabytes of internal memory available for storing maps. If this is not sufficient for your needs, extra memory in the form of MMC (multimedia card) or SD (secure digital) memory cards is available for purchase. A memory card can be plugged into the slot in the top of the Delphi Mobile Navigation unit, and can be purchased with various memory capacities. A memory card with 256 megabytes of memory or less can be used in the Delphi Mobile Navigation unit.
SECTION 3: INSTALLING SOFTWARE AND NEW MAPS A CD-ROM pack in the Delphi Mobile Navigation package contains software that allows you to: • Install new maps onto your Delphi Mobile Navigation or memory cards. • Back up any settings, shortcuts, and favorites you have saved previously in your Delphi Mobile Navigation. • Install and upgrade the SmartST software onto your Delphi Mobile Navigation. (SmartST is preinstalled on your Delphi Mobile Navigation.
4. If this is the first time you have powered up your Delphi Mobile Navigation, a display prompts you to connect the USB cable (supplied). Plug the USB cable into a USB port on your computer.
