Navigation Setup

If you do not want to navigate now, continue learning about the Travel Companion and refer back to this section when you do want to use navigation.

You can use the navigation features of the Travel Companion right out of the box. The easiest way to open the GPS application is from the HP Quick Launch screen. When launching the GPS application for the first time, follow the on-screen instructions to configure and set up personal preferences.

The Travel Companion includes a built-in GPS receiver. To navigate to a destination, the GPS application must determine your current position, for which it uses the Global Positioning System (GPS). Available for free and without subscription, GPS uses satellites to transmit signals to GPS receivers. GPS signals work in all weather, anywhere in the world.

To establish a GPS signal, use the GPS receiver outdoors with a clear view of the sky. The GPS application can take several minutes to find your current position during its first use. If it takes longer, make sure that you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees nearby. In subsequent uses, the GPS application will find your position much faster. Once the GPS application locates your current position, the application shows your position on the map.

NOTE To reduce connection time, you should not be moving the first time you attempt to establish a GPS connection.

If you want to immediately start navigating:

1.Press the power button to power on the Travel Companion.

2.Start the GPS application by tapping Navigation from the HP Quick Launch screen.

3.Place the Travel Companion in a location with a clear view of the sky.

4.Install the car kit.

5.Insert the Travel Companion and plug it in using the travel power adapter.

Car Kit Setup

The car kit allows you to mount the Travel Companion in a location in your car that provides the best access to a GPS signal.

To install the car kit:

1.Plug the power cable into the Travel Power Adapter, and then plug the adapter into a vehicle power outlet.
