4.17. Left-handed lay-out / Right-handed lay-out
You can optimise TomTom Navigator for either right-handed or left-handed\
 operation. Left-handed operation, for example. 
means that important buttons and controls will be located on the left si\
de of the screen. As a result, you will be able to operate 
them with your left hand without obscuring the screen.
If the application operates for right-handed, switch it by tapping Left-handed lay-out. 
If the application operates for left-handed, switch it by tapping Right-handed lay-out.
4.18. Set schematic speed 
Modify the schematic speed by tapping Set schematic speed. 
You can set TomTom Navigator to hide the map when you go faster than a c\
ertain speed. Instead of the map, a much simpler, 
schematic design is used to display driving instructions. The simplicity of the at-a-gl\
ance schematics can be a true benefit 
when you need to concentrate on the road.
If you do not enter a speed, or set the speed extremely high, you disabl\
e this feature.

5. Installation
5.1. Using the CD-ROM
The CD-ROM provides maps and voices and allows you to install the TomTom\
 Navigator software onto your Palm Powered™ 
handheld.
The CD-ROM also includes documentation and provides links to the TomTom \
website and helps you register you product for 
future updates, helpdesk support and product news.

In the CD-ROM case, you will find a sticker with a Product Code. This Pr\
oduct Code is required for successful installation of 
TomTom Navigator and the maps. Please store it in a safe place for futur\
e reference.
To use the CD-ROM, insert it into your PC running Microsoft Windows ME o\
r later. If you are not presented automatically with 
the TomTom Setup Menu, launch it by opening My Computer, then double-cli\
cking the icon of your CD-ROM drive and then 
double-clicking setup.exe.
After choosing your preferred language, carefully read the license agree\
ment. Next you will be presented with the main Setup 
Menu. You can use this menu to install TomTom Navigator, to load extra m\
aps, to change voices and to access further product 
information.
5.2. Requirements for installation
To install TomTom Navigator or additional voices or maps, a memory card \
(such as an industry standard SD Card) for your 
Palm Powered™ handheld is required.
When performing an installation, make sure the memory card is inserted i\
nto your Palm Powered™ handheld.
Maps can also be loaded directly onto a memory card that is inserted int\
o a PC Memory Card Reader that is attached to your 
PC. Installing a map this way is quicker.
Note:
Performing an installation with a memory card that is inserted into your\
 Palm Powered™ handheld requires HotSync® to be 
installed and working properly. Please refer to the Palm™ Desktop sof\
tware and documentation that comes with you Palm 
Powered™ handheld to ensure that it is installed and working properly\

5.3. First time installation of TomTom Navigator with a map
If your product includes a TomTom Memory Card, TomTom Navigator is pre-l\
oaded and you can skip this paragraph.
Otherwise, you will need to load TomTom Navigator and at least one map o\
nto a memory card.
First time installation of TomTom Navigator requires a blank or new memo\
ry card inserted into your Palm Powered™ handheld.

m the memory card size to get an indication of the 
maximum size of the map that you can install. From the main Setup Menu, \
choose Install TomTom Navigator and follow the 
installation steps.

ld, insert it into the cradle connected to your PC and 
press the HotSync® button on the cradle. When HotSync® is finished\
, the TomTom Navigator is installed to you Palm 
Powered™ handheld. You now need to install at least one map (if your\
 memory card has sufficient size, you can load multiple 
maps onto the memory card).
From the main Setup Menu, choose Add maps and choose the map you requi\
re. Please make sure its size is smaller than the 
remaining free memory space on the memory card. After choosing the map, \
you can use HotSync® to load the map onto the 
memory card (choose Palm Powered™ handheld). Alternatively, if yo\
u own a PC Memory Card Reader, insert the memory 
card into it, and choose PC Memory Card Reader.
5.4. (Re-)Installing TomTom Navigator, voices and maps
From the main Setup Menu choose the appropriate option. You will be guid\
ed through a number of screens to refine your

lm Powered™ handheld into the cradle connected to 
your PC and press the HotSync® button on the cradle. When HotSync®\
 is finished, the installation is complete.

HotSync®, choose Palm Powered™ handheld.
