Use of downloaded POIs in AutoMapa
To use a downloaded POI in navigation, you need first to load that file to
the program. It is a one-off process, and any future POI updates will be
loaded automatically to AutoMapa.
When you want to use the downloaded POI file for navigating, have the
application load the file. It is a one-time action. Future POI updates will
be automatically loaded to AutoMapa.
To load the POI file to Automapa, choose the Settings – User’s POIs in
the application. In the window that appears, select File at the bottom,
and then Load file. Next, point to the file with downloaded POIs.
The downloaded points will be available in the application as Users’ POIs.
You will be able not only to easily choose and navigate to the selected
points, but along with the download you will also receive a lot of
additional POI data, like phone number, opening hours or range of
rendered services.
4 GPS system
AutoMapa uses the GPS navigation system to accurately determine your position and display it on the digital map.
4.1 Introduction to GPS
Automatic navigation in AutoMapa utilizes the Global Positioning System, made available for civilian use by the U.S.
Department of Defense. A GPS receiver calculates its position by measuring the distance between itself and several (out
of 24 operating) visible satellites of the Navstar network.
