Chapter 6: Installation and start-up
using the GoPal
®
Assistant
In addition to manual installation, it is also possible to transfer the necessary data from the
CD/DVD to your mobile device using the GoPal
®
Assistant software: The GoPal
®
Assistant is a
special tool which facilitates communication between your navigation device and your PC and
simplifies the transfer of selected files. In addition, it is only with the help of the GoPal
®
Assistant
that you can transfer GPS track data that you have recorded with your navigation device to the PC
in order to store it there and exchange it with other users. To use GoPal
®
Assistant, it must first be
installed on your PC.
Tip
Although manual installation and transfer of data is possible on your navigation device,
we recommend performing all installations using the GoPal
®
Assistant software.
Installing the GoPal
®
Assistant software
As soon as you insert the supplied CD/DVD into the drive on your PC, a Setup Assistant opens au-
tomatically to help you with the installation of various software components on your PC.
Proceed as follows to install the GoPal
®
Assistant on your PC:
1. Open your PC’s CD/DVD drive and insert the supplied CD/DVD. Once the CD/DVD has been
read in, the Setup Assistant starts automatically: Continue to follow the on-screen instructions.
2. In the dialog box Select components, click the Medion GoPal Assistant check box (checked) to
select the GoPal
®
Assistant for installation: If necessary you can now click on other check
boxes to install additional software components (e. g. Medion GoPal Navigator, Microsoft Ac-
tiveSync
®
, manuals etc.) in this step. After selecting the desired check boxes, click on the
Continue button.
Note
If you are using the current Windows Vista
TM
or Windows 7
TM
operating system, the op-
tion ActiveSync is automatically greyed out, as this functionality is already integrated into
the operating system and does not need to be installed separately.
3. You must enter the storage path for the installation of the GoPal
®
Assistant in this dialog win-
dow. Use the template or select an individual path and click Next.
4. This dialog window allows you to rename the folder individually (not recommended): Click In-
stall to accept the default path and install the selected software components on your PC.
The GoPal
®
Assistant is installed in the program directory on your PC and is available immediately
following installation. If you no longer need the GoPal
®
Assistant, you can remove it from your sys-
tem either by going to Control panel > Software or by using the Uninstall command located in the
program directory under Start > All Programs > Medion GoPal Assistant.
Microsoft ActiveSync
®
must be installed on the PC to communicate and transfer data with the
GoPal
®
Assistant: Installation can also be performed using the Setup Assistant on the CD/DVD. In
addition, the navigation device must be connected to the PC via the USB cable.
Tip
ActiveSync
®
is only necessary when operating Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows XP. The
software components necessary for data exchange are already integrated into Windows
Vista
TM
and Windows 7
TM
.
