Troubleshooting

For a more complete list of troubleshooting/FAQs, please see the Troubleshoot-ing and Frequently Asked Questions section in the navigation system software(File ➔ Help).

1. During map installation, I get a file write error.This can be caused by insufficient memory space on your Computer/PDA.Please install maps in an alternate location or install more memory on yourdevice.

2. My IOGEAR Bluetooth GPS cannot establish position.Please make sure that you have the unit in an outdoor area, away from tallbuildings/structures or any objects that may cause interference. Also, make surethe GPS is fully-charged (it takes about 3 hours to achieve full charge).

111

If you still cannot establish position, reset the GPS as instructed in the HardwareQuick Start Guide.

3. My PDA becomes unresponsive or very slow after I load the NavigationSystem.First, make sure your PDA meets the minimum system requirements. You alsomay want to check all the Running Programs on your PDA. If you have too manyprograms running on the background, they may be consuming your systemmemory; thus slowing down the PDA.

4. The navigation software does not load on my PC/PDA.Please make sure your device meets the minimum software system require-ments.

Troubleshooting

112

5. I’m having trouble establishing Bluetooth communication between myPC/PDA and GPS unit.Please consult the Hardware Quick Start guide for instructions on how to do this.If you still have trouble, please consult the user manual for your Bluetooth device.
