NOTE:
1 – A standard GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA infrastructure, Wi-Fi or other Bluetooth-
enabled devices, separately purchased equipment, and a service contract with a wireless airtime
provider may be required for applicable wireless communication. Wireless Internet access requires
separately purchased Internet service contract. Check with service provider for availability and coverage
in your area. Not all Web content might be available. Wireless transmission speeds may vary based
upon network capabilities and other conditions. Establishment and continuation of a wireless connection
depends on network availability, provider support, and signal strength.

GSM carriers worldwide. Actual download speeds may vary. Coverage is subject to transmission
limitations and terrain, system, capacity, and other limitations. Not all features and service options are
available in all areas.
3 – Telephone service requires separately purchased contract with a service provider with coverage in
your service area. Additional fees may apply for some features, check with your service provider.
Verify the date and time
Verify the correct date and time on your HP iPAQ. If the date and time are not correct, tap the Clock
icon on the Today screen to set the date and time.
Download the GPS Connection Utility data file
Use the GPS navigation software available on your HP iPAQ to track your initial position, retrieve
information from GPS satellites, and to navigate. The GPS software might take some time to get a fix
on your initial position. Use GPS Connection Utility to reduce the time to first fix (TTFF). GPS Connection
Utility downloads information from the Internet and stores this information on your HP iPAQ. The GPS
navigation software can use this information to quickly track your initial position.
NOTE:
The GPS Connection Utility downloads new data if the last downloaded data is expired. The
expiration time on the data is set to 24 hours.
Be aware that enabling GPS Connection Utility might involve additional data connection charges.
To enable GPS Connection Utility:
1.
Tap Start > Settings > Connections > GPS Connection Utility.
2.
Select the Automatic Update check box.
3.
Tap Done.
After the GPS Connection Utility data file has been downloaded, you might see improvements in the
GPS performance as the time-to-first-fix (TTFF) reduces.
To disable GPS Connection Utility:
1.
Tap Start > Settings > Connections > GPS Connection Utility.
2.
Clear the Automatic Update check box.
3.
Tap Done.
Verify compatibility with your HP iPAQ
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 software 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.
