compass in the top right section of the map screens (Page 44) will always show the current direction of the map. Map orientation should not be mixed up with Screen orientation. NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association): This is the name of a communication protocol format. This association issues standards for interfacing marine electronic devices. One of their standards is NMEA-0183 that defines electrical signal requirements and a data transmission protocol for time and position data. This is today's standard for not only marine but also all other GPS devices. HP iPAQ Trip Guide, as well as most GPS devices, will default to using this protocol out of the box. North-up: A kind of map orientation having the map rotated to have North toward the top of the screen. See also Track-up and Map Orientation. POI: Points Of Interest, exact map locations of important points saved in a database together with their name, category and subcategories (e.g. Service/Fuel/Autogas), address, phone and fax number, and other important information. Use the versatile search system in HP iPAQ Trip Guide to find the appropriate POI near you, your destination or any other given location on the map (Page 113). You can also have your favourite places saved as 'My POI' in HP iPAQ Trip Guide. Screen Orientation: Depending on how you prefer to hold the PDA in your hand or how you have it installed in your car, you may want HP iPAQ Trip Guide to display all its screens in a portrait, landscape, or left-handed landscape mode (Page 81). This setting is independent from the corresponding setting in the operating system. Screen rotation in HP iPAQ Trip Guide can even be used with PDAs originally not capable of displaying landscape orientation. Screen orientation should not be mixed up with Map orientation that does not affect the appearance of HP iPAQ Trip Guide, only the map itself. SiRF: This is the name of a popular GPS chipset manufacturer. Their specific communication protocol can be processed by HP iPAQ Trip Guide. SiRF based GPS devices are also capable of NMEA communication, the factory setting of communication protocol in HP iPAQ Trip Guide. Track log: In HP iPAQ Trip Guide you have the possibility to record your journeys using the position data your GPS provides in every second or every few seconds (depending on your GPS settings). When you start the recording, position data are saved in the database until you stop recording it. This set of sequential GPS positions is called track log. Each set of consecutive positions has a name (originally it is the time of recording but you can change it to any name you like) and a colour in which it 123

NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association):
This is the name of a
communication protocol format. This association issues standards for interfacing
marine electronic devices. One of their standards is NMEA-0183 that defines
electrical signal requirements and a data transmission protocol for time and position
data. This is today’s standard for not only marine but also all other GPS devices. HP
iPAQ Trip Guide, as well as most GPS devices, will default to using this protocol out of
the box.
North-up:
A kind of map orientation having the map rotated to have North toward
the top of the screen. See also Track-up and Map Orientation.
POI:
Points Of Interest, exact map locations of important points saved in a database
together with their name, category and subcategories (e.g. Service/Fuel/Autogas),
address, phone and fax number, and other important information. Use the versatile
search system in HP iPAQ Trip Guide to find the appropriate POI near you, your
destination or any other given location on the map (Page 1
). You can also have
your favourite places saved as ‘My POI’ in HP iPAQ Trip Guide.
Screen Orientation:
Depending on how you prefer to hold the PDA in your hand or
how you have it installed in your car, you may want HP iPAQ Trip Guide to display all
its screens in a portrait, landscape, or left-handed landscape mode (Page 8 ). This
setting is independent from the corresponding setting in the operating system. Screen
rotation in HP iPAQ Trip Guide can even be used with PDAs originally not capable of
displaying landscape orientation. Screen orientation should not be mixed up with Map
orientation that does not affect the appearance of HP iPAQ Trip Guide, only the map
itself.

devices are also capable of NMEA communication, the factory setting of
