Verifying Compatibility

All HP iPAQ Global Positioning System (GPS) enabled devices come with HP iPAQ compatible GPS navigation software solutions. Depending on the region of the world where you purchase your device, solutions are either pre-installed on the device, downloaded from the Internet, or installed using CDs.

If you are interested in purchasing additional GPS navigation software to use on your HP iPAQ, check with the GPS software supplier (before you purchase, download, or install any GPS navigation software) to determine that the application is compatible with your specific HP iPAQ model.

Once you have verified compatibility, purchase and install a map onto the HP iPAQ or memory card to be able to start using the GPS navigation technology.

NOTE It is recommended that you download all GPS maps to a memory card that is compatible with your specific HP iPAQ model, or to an iPAQ File Store folder (if your model provides one). This prevents you from losing your map data due to a possible power loss or a need to perform a clean reset on the HP iPAQ. Since your HP iPAQ model uses Windows Mobile 5.0, you can store maps in main memory that is not erased if the battery loses power.

Memory cards can be purchased at www.hp.com/accessories/ipaq.
