Navigation Setup

If you do not want to navigate now, continue learning about the Travel Companion and refer back to this
section when you do want to use navigation.
You can use the navigation features of the Travel Companion right out of the box. The easiest way to
open the GPS application is from the HP Quick Launch screen. When launching the GPS application
for the first time, follow the on-screen instructions to configure and set up personal preferences.
The Travel Companion includes a built-in GPS receiver. To navigate to a destination, the GPS
application must determine your current position, for which it uses the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Available for free and without subscription, GPS uses satellites to transmit signals to GPS receivers.
GPS signals work in all weather, anywhere in the world.
To establish a GPS signal, use the GPS receiver outdoors with a clear view of the sky. The GPS
application can take several minutes to find your current position during its first use. If it takes longer,
make sure that you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees nearby. In subsequent uses, the
GPS application will find your position much faster. Once the GPS application locates your current
position, the application shows your position on the map.
