Safety Notes and Maintenance
Introduction
This section of the User Manual contains some general information and recommendations related to the use of your Hema HX-1 Navigator.
Operating Environment
External Influences
· Do not allow objects to drop onto the device from above · Do not place objects on top of the device or rub the screen with abrasive materials or
objects such as car keys etc. · Do not drop the device · Do not use sharp or abrasive objects to operate the touch screen – user your finger, or a
stylus suited specifically to capacitive touch screens. · Avoid prolonged use in high vibration and high shock environments · Do not carry/transport flammable liquids, gases or explosives in the same compartment as
the device and its accessories · Wireless devices can interfere with the reception of satellite signals causing unstable signal
reception · Some car audio systems can cause interference with the device
GPS
· This system uses GPS signals produced and monitored by the United States government, who are solely responsible for the availability and accuracy of the system.
· GPS satellite signals do not penetrate solid objects (apart from glass) and, therefore will not operate from within a building unless an external re- radiating GPS antenna is fitted.
· GPS signal reception may be impaired by dense obstacles above the ground, such as tall buildings, trees, or extremely bad weather.
· In order to operate efficiently, the Hema HX-1 Navigator should be positioned with a view to the open sky (through glass is acceptable).
· Glass with a metallic film, as fitted on some vehicles, may impair the GPS signal. An external automotive re-radiating GPS antenna may be required.

Safety Notes and Maintenance
Temperature
Do not leave your HX-1 lying or mounted on your dashboard where it will be exposed to extreme temperature conditions which can result in malfunctions and / or dangerous situations. The device may be operated or stored in a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C. If you are stopping for more than 10 minutes or so, it would be advisable to remove the HX-1 from the dash, where temperatures can rise rapidly to excessive levels. Leaving the unit on the dash of the vehicle parked where the dash is, or will be in full sun in an enclosed vehicle will almost definitely lead to excessive temperatures. Important! The HX-1 contains a temperature sensor as a safety feature to avoid damage due to excessive temperatures. The unit WILL shut down automatically if it detects an over temperature situation · Keep the device away from moisture and excessive dust. The device should be used in an atmospheric humidity (non- condensed) of 45% to 80% and stored in an atmospheric humidity of 30% to 90%. · Do not expose the device to sudden and extreme temperature fluctuations. This may result in condensation forming within the device causing malfunction or failure. When condensation forms, wait for the device to completely dry out before operating.

Hema HX-1 Navigator – eGuide
Temperature related Tips!
1. If the charger is connected to the HX-1, and the device is charging, it will heat up faster. If the device has shutdown due to an over-temperature event, removing the charger will help it to cool down faster, so it will return to normal operation sooner.
2. The HX-1 automatically powers up when connected to the charger. If the unit detects an over-temperature event and shuts down, it will immediately attempt to power up again. The temperature sensor will then cut in again, and close the unit down before it can fully start up.
So, if the charger is connected and the unit shuts down due to over temperature, it can enter a startup loop.
In this case, disconnecting the charger will:
A. interrupt the startup loop B. allow the unit to cool down faster
Safety while Operating the Device
Important!
Failure to adhere to the following guidelines may result in potentially hazardous situations and may result in serious injury or even death.
· Do not operate / interact with the device while you are driving. · National road traffic regulations and local traffic conditions always take precedence
over the instructions given by any navigation device. · Do not install the navigation device in such a manner as to obstruct the driver’s view
of the road or interfere with the operation of a vehicle’s controls or safety features such as air bag systems. Check your region’s regulations for any specific requirements, and follow the required guidelines. · Use voice prompts while driving in order to minimise the time spent looking at the device. Do not become distracted by the device while driving. · The route calculated by the navigation device is a suggested route and should be used for reference and guidance only. It is not a substitute for alert driver behaviour and common sense. Drivers must continue to pay attention to all road regulations and hazards regardless of instructions from the navigation device.

Safety Notes and Maintenance
Safety While Travelling
The Hema HX-1 Navigator is a valuable aid for navigation. It should not be used as a replacement for hard-copy maps and other traditional navigational aids while travelling, especially in remote areas. Always ensure that you have adequate backup systems in place to ensure your personal safety.
Local conditions can change rapidly, therefore it is recommended to seek advice from local authorities and pay attention to road signs, particularly where those signs advise of serious hazards, such as local flooding, damaged bridges, etc .
Battery
This product uses a re-chargeable Lithium-Polymer battery which is not user serviceable and not user replaceable. Failing to adhere to these guidelines may reduce the life expectancy of the battery or present the risk of electrolyte leak, explosion and fire resulting in chemical burn, damage and/or injury.
· Disconnect the device when it is fully charged (The RED charging LED turns BLUE when the device is close to fully charged). Charging while connected to a PC USB port will take significantly longer than if the device is charged using the supplied in-vehicle charger. This is due to the low-power output of the majority of PC USB ports.
· Before storage, partially charge the battery to approximately 50% capacity. · Lithium-polymer batteries do not need to be fully charged. A partial charge will
generally extend the useful life of your battery, but results in reduced running time from that charge. · Only use the original 12/24V car adapter supplied with the Hema HX-1 Navigator. Use of nonstandard parts or accessories may result in malfunctions and / or severely damage the device and may void your warranty. · Do not expose the device to a damp, wet or corrosive environment. · Do not expose the device to excessive pressures, heat sources, high temperatures, or extreme sunlight conditions, such as an unattended vehicle on a hot day. · Do not expose the device to operating temperatures outside of the recommended range of 0°C to 60°C and storage temperatures outside of the recommended range of -20°C to 60°C. · There are no user serviceable parts in the device. Do not open the device. Do not pierce, open or dismantle the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into contact with the liquid, thoroughly rinse the contaminated area with water. Seek medical attention if you suffer any continued symptoms where the liquid has come into contact with your skin.

Hema HX-1 Navigator – eGuide
Cleaning the Unit
The Hema HX-1 Navigator casing can be cleaned using a cloth slightly dampened with water and a mild detergent and then wiped dry. Care must be taken not to let moisture into the speaker holes or any of the ports, jacks and slots on the device.
· The touch screen may be cleaned using lint free or micro fibre cloths. · Isopropyl alcohol or water may be applied to the cloth where required to
gently wipe the touch screen only. · Do not use harsh or abrasive cloths and avoid the use of chemical cleaners or
solvents as these can damage the Navigator.
Avoiding Theft
To avoid theft, remove the Navigator and mount from sight when not in use. Remove the residue left on the windscreen by the suction mount.

Hema HX-1 Navigator – eGuide
About Your Navigator
So, what is the Navigator? What makes it different to other car GPS devices?
Most in-vehicle GPS systems are designed for use around town and on suburban streets. They use a mapping system called vector mapping, and they can tell you how to get from A to B by guiding you with on-screen directions and spoken instructions as well. There are many other features which may or may not be included, depending on the make and model.
A typical street-only GPS will effectively create routes between points within the same suburb, city, state, or even across the country.
Once you leave the main highway, however, and venture into more remote locations, these types of GPS systems are generally not quite as useful.
This is where the Hema HX-1 Navigator steps in.
The HX-1 is equipped with two separate applications to cover your navigation needs.
Drive Mode
Around town, Drive Mode performs the same functions as a typical street-only vehicle GPS. It has several unique features including:
· Complete set of Hema POI Data · Full Camps Australia Wide POIs featuring facility icons, site
explanation, road comments and Camps site images, as follows: · Camps Australia Wide POIs · Caravan Parks Aust Wide POIs
· Dump Point (effluent) POIs
Explore Mode
The 4WD navigation system features the proven Explore Mode app, which is what makes the HX-1 different. It does not work in the same way as the usual “street-only” GPS units and software.
The basic concept is that you have an electronic map image, known as a “raster map”. Explore Mode knows the geographical area which is covered by the raster map, and therefore, once it knows your vehicle’s position, can identify and display your vehicle’s location on the map.
It also has some other useful features, including:
· Adding waypoints at any location. A waypoint is a “marker” on the map, which you might use so that you can find your way back to a specific location at a future time (such as a good fishing spot, a nice camping area, etc.).
21

Getting Started · Recording the path your vehicle follows as you travel in bush areas.
This is known as a Track Log or Breadcrumb Trail. This can be a very handy tool if you are in an area where there are indistinct tracks to follow. While the screen shows where you are now on the map displayed, it also shows how you got there. · Searching for named locations such as “Ayers Rock”, or “Fog Bay” etc. When a location is found by searching, you can show it on a map, add a waypoint for it, or just go directly to it. Explore Mode is designed for use when you are “out bush”, rather than within towns and suburbs, that is the primary function of the Drive Mode app. The Navigator includes additional and exciting features. Please take the time to read the Quick Start Guide and this eGuide to familiarise yourself with its capabilities and functions. You will soon feel at home using it. There are many other features which the software is capable of, which are explained in this eGuide. Further documentation and assistance are available on the Hema website, at http://www.hemamaps.com. Enjoy exploring with your Hema Navigator!

If you wish to charge the device while it is sleeping, tap the Power button after plugging it in to the power source, which will instantly put the HX-1 to sleep. Note that on short trips, the HX-1 may not attain a decent charge while in sleep mode.
The internal Lithium-Polymer battery in the HX-1 can be charged using one of the following methods:
1. Connect the supplied HX-1 vehicle cigarette lighter adapter to the Mini USB port.
2. Connect the Mini USB cable between the Navigator and a computer’s USB port. Most computer USB ports only output around 400-500mA. Due to the low current output of these USB ports, the HX-1 will charge at a slower rate than if
connected to the supplied 12V adapter. For faster charging, some PCs have special high-output USB ports which output higher-than average current specifically for charging external devices, or use the supplied in-vehicle charger, or another charger which is capable of around 2A (2000mA) output current. The device charge indicator will glow a steady RED while the device is connected to power. The battery indicator on the home screen of the HX-1 will also show a lightning bolt symbol while the device is charging. Please see the Battery section of the Safety Notes & Maintenance topic of this eGuide for more information regarding Lithium-polymer batteries.

Getting Started
Inserting & Removing MicroSD Cards
The Hema HX-1 Navigator is equipped with a MicroSD card slot. The SD card can be used to store captured images and video. Tip! Try to purchase known brands of SD cards from reputable dealers. Some SD cards available on the internet from places like eBay might be counterfeit, or at best, misstate their specifications and / or their capacity. Research any prospective purchases thoroughly prior to purchasing. Note that SD cards may be affected by static electricity. Try to avoid touching the metal contacts on the SD card while handling. Inserting the MicroSD card To insert a MicroSD card from your HX-1:
1. Turn the Navigator so that the front of the device is facing you. 2. Locate the MicroSD card slot on the left side of the device (it’s around the
middle of the side panel). 3. Position the card with printed side facing you as per illustration below. 4. Slide the card gently into the slot, until it clicks into place.
Note! When inserting a MicroSD card, ensure it is centred in the card slot. Do not push in on an angle and avoid forcing the card into the slot.
30

Hema HX-1 Navigator – eGuide Removing the MicroSD card To remove a MicroSD card from your HX-1:
1. Turn the Navigator so that the front of the device is visible. 2. Locate the MicroSD card slot on the left side of the device (it’s around the
middle of the side panel). 3. Using your fingernail, push the card gently further into the slot and slowly
release. 4. The card should spring out of the slot far enough for removal.
Note! Avoid letting the MicroSD card eject quickly out of the slot. MicroSD cards are small and easily lost!
31

Getting Started
Resetting the HX-1
Press and hold the power button for approximately 15 seconds to reset the Navigator, forcing a power off and causing the device to reboot. Note This is a power reset only, and is not the same as a Reset to Factory Defaults, which is performed from the Settings screen. A power reset will not remove any data or change any settings on your HX-1, whereas the Reset to Factory Defaults option completely clears the HX-1 data, and clears the unit back to the state it was in when first unpacked. This should not be required under normal circumstances.

Public Access Wifi Sign In When travelling you may want to access the internet using a public WiFi hotspot. For example some well known hamburger chains offer free WiFi at their outlets. Many motels, shopping centres, caravan parks, etc. also offer this type of service to guests. When you try to access WiFi using one of these types of services, often there is an additional “hoop” to jump through to gain access to the free WiFi. Normally, connecting to a WiFi network requires selecting the SSID to connect to, and entering a password, and then you are connected. To access the free WiFi offering, you usually connect without a password, then you are connected to the network, after which you will be redirected to a web page where you may have to enter other information, such as your email address. To enable this facility click the Public Access Wifi Sign In option on the HX-1 Settings screen. If you have not used this option previously, you will see the screen shown below.
You must tap the tick box to enable the internal web browser functionality which can handle the web interface component of the free WiFi login process. 57

Hema HX-1 Navigator – eGuide
Bluetooth Menu
Introduction
The Hema HX-1 Navigator allows you to connect with a compatible device to output sound (which usually comes out of the internal speaker) to an external device.
The external device would normally have an amplifier and speakers of it’s own (ie. such as a car audio system, headphones, or a Bluetooth speaker).
Bluetooth wireless technology provides for a number of profiles, which specify certain aspects and behaviour of Bluetooth wireless connectivity between different devices.
There are many profiles associated with the Bluetooth technology; two of the most common seen in vehicles these days are:
1. HFP – Hands Free Profile 2. A2DP – Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (or Bluetooth Audio Streaming)
The HX-1 provides support for the A2DP profile only, which allows for the audio output of the Navigator to be sent to a device capable of receiving streaming audio (such as a car stereo head unit, or Bluetooth speaker).
In the Bluetooth world, when talking about two devices, generally one device is a master, and the other device is a slave.
For the connection to work, first the two devices needs to be PAIRED.
Pairing Bluetooth devices establishes a connection between them, often with the use of a numeric code acting as a password. The passcode is often fairly generic by default, but can be customised by the user to provide more security.
Once the two devices are paired, they need to be CONNECTED to actually provide the service required. Generally, a device can be paired to many other devices providing the same profile or service (such as media streaming or hands-free), but you can only be connected to one device for that profile at a time. ie. you can have a whole bunch of devices paired, but only one active connection at a time.
With the A2DP profile, one device acts as the master (or source or sending) device, and the other is the slave (or target or receiving) device.
In this case, the Navigator is the sender, and the device which outputs the audio is the receiver.
71

Remember!

Home Screen

The Nav button appears on the Home screen in its fixed location, and on other screens in whichever position you choose to place it, A SHORT TAP on the Nav button will return you to the previous screen at any time. A LONG TAP on the Nav button will pop up the Nav pane, where you can access Navigator device settings, etc. The button can be dragged to any position on the screen of your choosing, and will remember its location on that screen. Note that in some of the screenshots seen in this eGuide, the back button has been removed from the image for the sake of clarity.
Pairing the Navigator with your Bluetooth device
Tap the Bluetooth Settings button on your Navigator Settings screen to enter the Bluetooth configuration screen. The first step in getting the Navigator connected with the target device is to put the target device into Bluetooth discovery mode. This means that the device will broadcast or advertise itself as being capable of providing certain services. Usually, when you set the device to be discoverable, you can set a duration to be in this mode. ie. 1 minute, 2 minutes, etc.
For Your Information The method used to configure the target device will vary depending upon the specifics of that device. The basic process is usually the same, but the exact process by which you arrive at your required configuration may vary. You should familiarise yourself with the process on the target device before attempting to configure this connection.
72

Hema HX-1 Navigator – eGuide When you first enter the Bluetooth Settings screen, Bluetooth is usually switched off, and no Bluetooth devices will be visible as shown below.
Tap the Bluetooth on / off button as shown at (1) above to enable Bluetooth on your HX-1. While the target device (the device you want to connect to) is in the Bluetooth discovery mode, tap the Search for Devices button (at 1 above) at top-right of the Bluetooth screen to search for and find the discoverable target device.
While the Navigator is searching for nearby Bluetooth devices, you will see indicators displayed on screen (as shown at 1 & 2 above). If your device responds to the Bluetooth request, it should appear under Available Devices on the HX-1 Bluetooth screen, as shown above. When you tap the desired target device to pair with it, you may be prompted for a passkey applicable to that device. This is dependent on the device you are connecting to, and may or may not be required before you can pair with the device in question. 73

Home Screen Enter the key, and the Navigator should pair with the target device. You should see an indication that the HX-1 is attempting to pair with the target, as shown below.
Once pairing is successful, you should be able to connect with the target device. Note Once pairing has been successfully achieved with a given device, the Navigator will remember the settings required to connect to that device. Pairing again should only become necessary if something changes on the other device (ie. the other device’s name or passkey is changed, etc.). Tap on the device name under Paired Devices to connect, and you should see that the paired device is now successfully connected, as shown at (1) below.
Depending on the target device, you may also see a Settings button, as shown at (2) above. The Settings button allows you to make some changes to the entry related to the target device on your Navigator. The settings and options available will be dependent on the target device’s capabilities, but an example of what these settings might look like is shown below.
74

Hema HX-1 Navigator – eGuide
A typical option is one which allows you to rename the target device. For example, you may have two vehicles whose Bluetooth ID defaults to “My Car”. If you have paired with both vehicles, you might see two entries for “My Car”. This may be confusing. So, you might rename one entry “My Blue Car”, and one “My Red Car”, so that you know where you are. You might also no longer have the paired device (you might have sold the device, for example), so you might not wish to keep the old device around. You can tidy things up by using the Unpair option in this case.
75

Home Screen
Media Manager
The HX-1 has a camera allowing you to capture images and video. These functions are accessible from the home screen and from the Nav panel, by tapping the Media Manager button. By default, Media Manager captures your images, and stores them on the internal storage of the device. You can also configure your HX-1 to store all images and video on a MicroSD card, which can be installed in the slot on the side of the HX-1. This is done using the Save to External Storage option under the Settings screen. Warning! The Media Manager uses the Pictures folder to store images and videos on both internal and external (SD Card) storage. If you have pre-existing content on a MicroSD card, and want to use it in the HX-1, note that the HX-1 will not “see” the existing content until:
· The Save to External Storage option is switched ON under device settings. · The existing images are copied to the Pictures folder on the MicroSD card · At least ONE image is captured using the Media Manager (which triggers a
refresh of the storage folders).
76

Hema HX-1 Navigator – eGuide Once the Media Manager screen opens, there are several controls visible, as shown below.
Note These screenshots have been captured without a background image to improve clarity.
77

Home Screen
1. Capture button
The Capture button performs one of two functions, depending which mode you are in, Image or Video. If you are in Image mode, it will capture a single image. If you are in Video mode, it will start / stop recording. 2. Image mode button Switches the Media Manager to Image mode. When Image mode is inactive, this button is GREY. When Image mode is active, this button is ORANGE. This allows you to capture still images with the camera in the HX-1.
78

Hema HX-1 Navigator – eGuide
3. Video mode button
Switches the Media Manager to Video mode. When Video mode is inactive, this button is GREY. When Video mode is active, this button is ORANGE.
Tip! If you intend to record video to a MicroSD card, you should generally use a higher CLASS card. Generally, the class of an SD card determines its performance, specifically the write speed. The higher the class, the higher the write speed (you can pretty much equate the class number to the number of megabytes per second the card can handle). If you use an SD card of class 4 or lower, you may experience issues with video capture, due to the card’s performance characteristics. In saying that, most brand name SD card sold these days are usually of higher classes.
4. Gallery button
Opens the gallery, where you can browse / view captured images and video.
Warning ! Images and video captured using the Media Manager function within your HX-1 are not synced to the Cloud or backed up automatically in any way. To avoid data loss, it is suggested that you connect your HX-1 to a PC, and copy any media you have captured if you wish to keep it permanently. See this section of this eGuide for details on connecting to your PC.

Drive
Introduction
The Drive Mode app on your HX-1 is similar to the software which runs on a typical street mode only navigation device. It allows you to see where you are on a stylised map, and enter an address or a point of interest as a destination that you wish to travel to.
Starting DRIVE mode on the HX-1
Remember!
The Nav button appears on the Home screen in its fixed location, and on other screens in whichever position you choose to place it, A SHORT TAP on the Nav button will return you to the previous screen at any time. A LONG TAP on the Nav button will pop up the Nav pane, where you can access Navigator device settings, etc. The button can be dragged to any position on the screen of your choosing, and will remember its location on that screen. Note that in some of the screenshots seen in this eGuide, the back button has been removed from the image for the sake of clarity.
Tap the Drive button from your HX-1 Home screen to start the Drive app. The app will display a startup banner screen while it is loading, showing a progress bar as it starts as indicated at (1) below.

Drive
On-Screen Keyboard
In the Drive app, wherever text input is required, the On-Screen Keyboard will appear. The On-Screen Keyboard is a smart keyboard. For example, if the text input is for a town within a certain state, keys on the keyboard will be active or inactive depending on the letters typed already. See the following example. We are entering an address to navigate to, so we have opened the Find Address screen. Then we’ve tapped in the Town/Suburb or Postcode field to enter the town we wish to navigate to.
84

Hema HX-1 Navigator – eGuide As soon as you are in a text input field, the On- Screen Keyboard appears, as shown below.
In our example, here, we are searching for Roma in Queensland, so we type an “r” on the keyboard. As soon as we do this, the keys which are not valid after “r” are dimmed, and become inactive, as shown below. The only active keys are those for which there are towns starting with an “r”, which have any of those letters as the second letter in their name. This process continues with each letter that you type.
85

Drive
In many cases, after typing a few letters, you will be shown a list of matches to what you have typed so far, which you can select directly from the list.
Special buttons which are part of the on-screen keyboard
There are several buttons which perform special functions on the keyboard. Shift button
The shift button allows you to input capital letters (when typing a name, for example). Hide Keyboard button
The Hide Keyboard button will slide the keyboard away so that you can see the contents of the screen, if it has been concealed by the keyboard. To show the keyboard again, tap on any text entry field.

Drive
Configuration Wizard
The first time you start Drive Mode on your HX-1, the Configuration Wizard runs. The job of the Configuration Wizard is to configure Drive with some sensible default values, and also to allow you to select the way the Drive app functions, according to your wishes. Note The individual options that you set via the Configuration Wizard can be changed later via the Settings screen. If required, you can also re-run the Configuration Wizard later from the Settings screen. The first screen in the Configuration Wizard displays some text describing the license agreement you are entering into in the use of the HX-1, which you should scroll through and read, and then tap the Accept button to continue to the next screen.
This screen is a brief introduction, and a reminder that you can re-run the Configuration Wizard at any time later if you want to.
88

Hema HX-1 Navigator – eGuide Tap the Next button to continue.
Choose the spoken voice language and style you like. Note that some voices will pronounce street names and some will not. Generally, voices which pronounce street names are slightly robotic in nature (as they are performing text-to-speech on street names, they are not naturalistic voices). Voices which do not pronounce streets are closer to natural sounding human voices. Remember you can change your selection any time later, from the Voice Language section of the Regional Settings screen. Once you are happy with your selections, tap the Next button to continue.
89

Drive
Choose which units and formats you wish Drive to use when displaying various data. Remember you can change your selection any time later, from the Units and Formats section of the Regional Settings screen. Once you are happy with your selections, tap the Next button to continue.

Tap the Route Preference button to open the Route Preferences screen.

130

Hema HX-1 Navigator – eGuide
The settings, and how they affect route creation are explained in detail below.
Vehicle
The Drive app uses the Car vehicle profile by default, but it has a number of vehicle profiles predefined as follows:
Car
This is the default setting
· Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route.
· Roads are used only if access for cars is allowed. · Private roads and resident-only roads are used only when they are
unavoidable in reaching the destination. · Walkways are excluded from routes.
Pedestrian
· Neither manoeuvre restrictions nor directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route.
· Roads are used only if access to pedestrians is allowed. · Controlled-access roads are excluded from routes. · A private road is used only if the destination is on it. · Speed limits are not used in route calculation and an average walking
speed is used when calculating the estimated time of arrival.
Bicycle
· Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints (if they are applied to bicycles in the map data) are taken into account when planning a route.
· Roads are used only if access for bicycles or pedestrians is allowed. · Controlled-access roads are excluded from routes. · A private road is used only if the destination is there. · Speed limits are not used in route calculation and an average cycling
speed is used when calculating the estimated time of arrival.
Emergency
· All manoeuvres are available in intersections. · Directional constraints are taken into account the way that opposite
direction is allowed with a low speed. · A private road is used only if the destination is on it. · Walkways are excluded from routes.
131

Drive
Bus
· Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route.
· Roads are used only if access for buses is allowed. · Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from
routes
Taxi
· Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when
· planning a route. · Roads are used only if access for taxis is allowed. · Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from
routes.
Truck
· Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route.
· Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes
You can create your own vehicle profile if you wish. If you do create your own vehicle profile, be sure to set all parameters for that profile (ie. beware the truck profile has a default maximum speed of 80 km/h).
Vehicle Profiles
Route Planning Method
The Route Planning Method has 4 options:
1. Fast
This is the default setting
The Fast option is designed to get you to your destination the fastest possible way. Note that this may not be the shortest way, distance wise. It might be faster to travel an extra 30klm at freeway speeds for example.
2. Easy
The Easy option results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult manoeuvres. For example, it might create a route taking the motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.
132

Hema HX-1 Navigator – eGuide
3. Short
Gives a short route to minimise the distance to travel. Mainly suited for pedestrians, cyclists or slow vehicles. Searching for a short route regardless of the speed, this route type is rarely practical for normal vehicles.
4. Green
Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel consumption for the current vehicle as specified in the Vehicle Specified section of the Route Preferences. Travel cost and CO2 emission calculations are estimations only. They do not take elevations, curves and traffic conditions into account during the calculation.
Navigation Mode
Navigation Mode has two options:
1. On-road
This is the default setting
On-road mode is the default mode for Drive. Typically, you would navigate from some location on a road, to another destination (such as a street address) on another road.
2. Off-road
Off-road mode behaves differently. You might decide that you wish to navigate to a location in the middle of a National Park, by entering coordinates directly that you wish to travel to. In this mode, Drive will only calculate straight-line (as the crow flies) routes. In this mode, Drive behaves more like the Explore Mode app on your HX-1.
Road Types
In this section, you can enable or disable various road types which you wish the app to take into account when creating a route.
You can use this to avoid Motorways, or Toll Roads, for example.
Motorways
Default is ON
You might need to avoid motorways when you are driving a slow car or towing another vehicle.
133

Drive
Road With Period Charge
Default is ON
Charge roads are toll roads where you can purchase a pass to use the road for a longer period of time. They can be enabled or disabled separately from toll roads. Road With Per-Use Toll
Default is ON
The Hema HX-1 Navigator includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per- use charge) in the routes by default. If you disable toll roads, Drive will try to plan the best toll-free route. Ferries
Default is ON
Drive includes ferries in a planned route by default. However, a map does not necessarily contain information about the accessibility of temporary ferries. You are likely to need to pay a fare on vehicular or pedestrian ferries. Car Shuttle Trains
Default is ON
Car shuttle trains are not in widespread use in Australia, but where they are available, can be accommodated within a route. These types of services are where your car travels on a train, with you as a passenger on the same train (either remaining in the vehicle, or in a separate carriage). Unsealed Roads
Default is OFF
Drive excludes unpaved roads by default. Unpaved roads can be in a bad condition and you might not reach the speed limit while travelling on them.
134
