ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival): A frequently used expression in navigation. It represents the time when you will reach your destination based upon calculations using the remaining part of the route and available information of the roads used. This estimation can only be used as a general reference. It will not be able to take into account your future speed or the traffic delays. In HP iPAQ Trip Guide this value is shown as 'Estimated Arrival' on the Route Information screen (Page 53). ETE (Estimated Time Enroute): Another frequently used expression in navigation. It represents the time needed to reach your destination based upon calculations using the remaining part of the route and available information of the roads used. This estimation can be used only as a general reference. It will not be able to take into account your future speed or the traffic delays. In HP iPAQ Trip Guide this value is shown as 'Time left' on the Route Information screen (Page 53). GPS: Abbreviation of Global Positioning System. This system is operated by the DoD (the Department of Defense of the Unites States Government). It consists of 24 satellites orbiting Earth, and several ground stations to keep the satellites in sync. To calculate your position, your GPS device uses the signals received from those GPS satellites that are currently visible at your location. You can use this service free of charge. Lock-on-Road: This function of HP iPAQ Trip Guide will always keep the blue (yellow when using night colours) arrow representing your actual position on the nearest road. This automatic feature is necessary as the position given by the GPS receiver is not perfectly accurate. Under normal circumstances Lock-on-Road will eliminate the occasional position error. If the corridor of error is too large, your position may be shown over a different street on the map. You can only avoid that by using good quality GPS equipment positioned so that it has a direct view to as large a portion of the sky as possible. Normally Lock-on-Road is always active in HP iPAQ Trip Guide when GPS position is available. See also Page 29. However for pedestrian use it can be permanently turned off in Advanced settings (Page 90). Lock-to-Position: When GPS position is available, HP iPAQ Trip Guide will automatically keep moving the map to always have the blue (yellow when using night colours) arrow, representing your actual position, on the screen. You can move the map to lose this position. Then the Follow button appears on the screen. Tapping it will re-enable Lock-to-Position. See also Page 42. Map Orientation: HP iPAQ Trip Guide is able to rotate the map for your convenience. If you choose Track-up mode, the map will be rotated to look in the direction of your heading. Selecting North-up, the map remains oriented to have North toward the top. Use the left and right hardware buttons to turn your map in the direction you wish. This will immediately turn off the automatic rotation. A small 122
