(for PDA use with your GPS receiver)

If you are upgrading to version 062005, please make sure you uninstall all previous versions from your PC and PDA before continuing with this installation.

Your first flight with TeleType GPS:

1.	Install program to PC.

2.	Install all maps to PC.

3.	Sync PC to PDA.

4.	Install program to PDA.

5.	Remove PDA from cradle/sync.

6.	Insert Compact Flash (CF) GPS or pair your Bluetooth receiver (Note: See the hardware documentation if you have questions about this).

7.	Activate the TeleType GPS application on the PC.

Transfer the maps you would like to use on your PDA using the Transfer > Storage Maps > Aviation. Choose the country you would like to transfer, and choose the destination. Once you have chosen what you would like to transfer, click on Transfer. For more details, see Transferring and Exporting Maps. (Note: This requires an ActiveSync connection.)

Once street maps are installed, you will be able to transfer terrain, highway, street, and other maps to your PDA.

9.   Activate the TeleType GPS application on the PDA.

10.   If the GPS satellite count in the lower right corner of the aviation panel is 0, select MENU > More Options > GPS. Go to the Status tab, tap on Open Port (if button is available). Verify that there is data flowing. If you are indoors, you might have to take the GPS outside. In an aircraft, you might need the external antenna. If the external antenna has a magnetic base, keep it far away from the magnetic compass. Click OK to close the GPS Status window.


11.   Select Head Up. Go to MENU > More Options > Prefs > Navigation tab (View > Preferences > Navigation on PC). If you do not select Head Up, it will be by default set to North Up.

North Up gives the best refresh rate performance.

12. There are two methods to create a plan:

Go Direct:

Right-click/press on the destination airport on the map. When the context menu appears, select the Go To menu item. Select the next fix from the dropdown list, and press OK. A temporary flight route will now be active to fly from the current location to the destination. This works in both GPS mode and in Simulation mode. If the position is not fixed (known) in GPS mode, the temporary trip cannot be started. If the destination airport is not on your screen, first search for it using MENU > Find. Enter its ICAO identifier and press Find. Once it is found, press Go To and then the airport will be centered on the screen and you can proceed as above.
