Important Message
IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING THE USE OF MAPKING™ BY
VEHICLE DRIVER
TO ENSURE SAFETY DRIVING, WE STRONGLY ADVISE THAT A DRIVER SHOULD
NOT OPERATE MAPKING™ WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SIMULTANEOULSY. A
DRIVER SHOULD NEVER FOCUS HIS OR HER ATTENTION ON THE MAPKING™
DISPLAY WHILE DRIVING.
In case MapKing™ needs to be used inside a vehicle, we suggest that it should be operated by a passenger other than the driver or the driver should stop the vehicle at a convenient spot before starting to use MapKing™.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING ROUTE PLANNING
The route planning function of MapKing™ is ONLY meant to be and should ONLY be used as a crude reference. IT SHOULD NEVER BE USED TO DETERMINE ACTUAL DRIVING
DIRECTIONS. The Route Planning function of MapKing™ is subject to the following limitations :
- Whilst we have taken great care and endeavours in developing the product, we CANNOT guarantee that the road network data and routing calculations of MapKing™ are free of any omission or defect.
-The road network and traffic conditions in the real world are ever changing, MapKing™ being a pre-packaged product cannot reflect all these changes on a constant basis.
-Road network parameters specifically required for route planning, like one-way traffic indicator or turn restrictions at street crossing, are difficult or almost impossible to obtain for China or some other Asian countries. The lack of these data would significantly affect the performance of route planning.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING GPS TRACKING
The GPS tracking function of MapKing™ works on GPS satellite signals broadcasted for civilian use. It is subject to inherent signal deviations and environmental interferences caused by surroundings and bad weather. We cannot guarantee nor specify a precise level of accuracy for the GPS positioning data displayed by MapKing™. It should also be noted that the Unites States Department of Defence, who builds and operates the GPS system, is free to turn off or down-grade the civilian signals of GPS during rare occasions like regional military conflict. Although MapKing™ should work with most GPS receivers on NMEA0183 signal output format regardless of their brand name or model; we cannot guarantee that MapKing™ integrates flawlessly with ALL GPS receivers available in the market.

The parameter of ‘Option’ is as below.
Recommended: This is the default Option based on the parameters of each street line segments within the road network.
Motorway preferred: Assigns high priority to expressways, highways and freeways and avoid secondary roads and streets. This is particular suitable for vehicle route planning.
Motorway avoided: Avoids expressways, highways and freeways. This option is suitable when planning a cycling or walking trip. You may also use this option during rush hours to stay away from highways that are prone to traffic jams.
Shortest route: this option Ignores road class parameters and calculates routes purely on length of road segments. This is a rarely used option since the shortest route in many cases does not mean the fastest route.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING GPS (Global Positioning
System) TRACKING
The GPS tracking function of MapKing™ works on GPS satellite signals broadcasted for civilian use. It is subject to inherent signal deviations and environmental interferences caused by surroundings and bad weather. We cannot guarantee nor specify a precise level of accuracy for the GPS positioning data displayed by MapKing™. It should also be noted that the Unites States Department of Defence, who builds and operates the GPS system, is free to turn off or downgrade the civilian signals of GPS during rare occasions like regional military conflict. Although MapKing™ should work with most GPS receivers on NMEA0183 signal output format regardless of their brand name or model; we cannot guarantee that MapKing™ integrates flawlessly with ALL GPS receivers available in the market.
Please read the package for product information for product support GPS.
In this chapter we will discuss how to setup, operate the GPS functions and the functions provides by MapKing™ G10with GPS.

1 A b o u t t G P S
GPS (Global Positioning System) is developed and maintained by the US Defence
Department. The system was initially deployed for military use but was later open for civilian navigation. The system comprises of 24 satellites on different orbits. The GPS receiver on the ground picks up signals from at least three satellites and calculates its real time position by a set of mathematical formulas generally known as “triangulation”.
GPS receivers must maintain line-of-sight with the satellites. GPS won’t work indoor and its accuracy tends to degrade significantly when the receiver is located under sheltered area or near high-rise building structure or terrain.

GPS receiver needs to establish clear line of sight to receive signals from satellites orbiting in the space. If the receiver is placed inside a vehicle or vessel, an extended antenna is normally required to pick up signals beyond the enclosed area of the vehicle or vessel.
Please note that various types of I/O interface exist among different types of pocket PC
(even for the same brand), you should ensure that the output interface of the receiver is compatible with your pocket PC. Consult the technical specifications or device dealer of your receiver or pocket PC if you are in doubt about compatibility.
For Bluetooth GPS, you’ll need to setup the connection between GPS receiver and your
Device. Please follow the manufacturer instructions and be reminded to press ‘Connect’ of
GPS device before you start using GPS.
