wMap GPS Software
Navigating the Software
Once the GPS receiver is turned on, the unit will automatically go to the GPS receiver’s main
menu or depending on the GPS hardware, display the wMap’s map page. See the GPS receiver’s
hardware manual to determine the correct procedure to start the GPS unit’s mapping software.
A warning screen will appear first. Simply read and tap the OK icon.
It is best to be outside and have a clear sky above to allow
the GPS to obtain better reception of the satellites. Clear
sky means: no trees, bridges, overhangs, carports etc.
Cloudy skies are ok. The unit is ready to travel and navigate
once the map page is displayed. The wMap software is
designed to be easy to use. Important! See the Setting
Options section on page 19 to enter correct time zone!
The following sections will describe the many features and
settings. Pressing the direction button on the unit either left
or right will toggle through the available screens.
Map Page
The Map Page displays your current position, zoom in/out buttons and zoom level in miles, street
traveling on, battery life and Menu and Mute Icons. The pointer represents your location and
direction on the map.
The pointer icon also indicates the signal strength of the satellite signals: Silver = no signal;
Red = poor signal; Yellow = weak signal and Green = good signal.
Zoom In/Out
The zoom level is displayed in the lower center of the map page . To change the zoom level, tap
the zoom icons on the screen or the (+) or (-) buttons on the GPS unit. Note: Street details are not
shown higher than zoom level of 2000 ft.
Track Up (Heading) or North Up
In the upper right hand corner is the North indicator icon. (See Figure 7B) This indicator will
always point to the north. While traveling, the direction of travel (Pointer Icon) is always pointing
up and the map rotates around the Pointer Icon.
