Installing StreetTalk on Your PAC Mate

Contents of this page

Before You Begin

Before you install StreetTalk, make certain that you have the following:

Internet access
GPS Bluetooth receiver and Bonding code, which may be 0000 or 1234
The Destinator License Key from the Destinator package.
Your StreetTalk authorization code, which you downloaded from www.pmactivate.com.

Installing StreetTalk

Establish an ActiveSync Standard or Guest connection between your computer and the PAC Mate.
Place the StreetTalk CD into the CD-ROM drive on your computer or open the StreetTalk CD Image folder on your computer.
Open Windows Explorer, locate the StreetTalkCESetup_1.0.XX.exe, where XX is the software release number, file on the CD, and press ENTER to begin the installation process.
The Pocket PC installation dialog appears. Press Next.
Accept the License Agreement terms that appear, and press ENTER to select Finish.
Select Yes to install StreetTalk into the default directory on your PAC Mate.
When asked whether to replace existing files, select the Yes to All button.
The next step is to enter the Destinator License Key and Activation code. Refer to the Registering Destinator section for registration procedures.

Registering Destinator

The following procedure requires you to access the Destinator registration site using the Internet. After registering, you will receive your Destinator Activation Key and License Key, which you will enter into your PAC Mate.

Downloading Destinator Registration Information

When StreetTalk installation completes, a prompt appears on your PAC Mate asking you to enter your Destinator registration information. Record the Device ID number that appears.
Use your computer to navigate to http://activate.destinator1.com. Create a user log in ID and password to access the site.
Enter your email address and create a password that you will remember. (You may want to log in again to the Destinator site in the future.) Press the Next button. The Product Information page appears.
Enter your License Key, which appears on the cover of your Destinator Quick Start Guide, and press the Next button.
Follow the remaining instructions that appear, and enter your PAC Mate’s Device ID. The Destinator Web site generates a unique Destinator Activation Key and displays this information on your computer. Be sure to record data carefully and store it in a secure place.

Entering Destinator Information into your PAC Mate

Return to your PAC Mate from the computer session and follow the prompts to enter the Destinator registration information. Press OK.
Warm reset your PAC Mate.
Insert your CompactFlash card, which has at least one map installed.
On your PAC Mate, start the StreetTalk application. It is available from the Programs submenu of the PAC Mate’s Start menu. You will hear the unique StreetTalk tones as the application loads.
The first time you start StreetTalk, a prompt asks you to enter your StreetTalk authorization code. Be careful to enter it exactly as you received it, paying special attention to the use of upper and lower case letters. (If you have misplaced this code, refer to the email that you previously received.)
StreetTalk opens and reads your default map location. You may now use StreetTalk in Planning mode. However, to use it with a GPS receiver, continue with the following installation procedures.

Installing Bluetooth Support on Your PAC Mate

Note: If your PAC Mate currently has Bluetooth installed, select this link to verify your Bluetooth's COM port assignment.

Before you install Bluetooth support, make certain that you have the bonding code for your GPS receiver. Commonly used bonding codes are 0000 and 1234. Your code should also appear in your receiver documentation.

Note: The following assumes use of the Socket Communications Bluetooth CompactFlash® card (BL4508-309 or equivalent). This is the supported card and the use of other cards may produce unsatisfactory results. During the installation, you may be presented with messages warning of possible risks if you proceed. You can safely ignore any such messages and continue with the installation.

Exit all running applications, and use ActiveSync to establish a Standard or Guest connection between your PAC Mate and a host computer.
Insert the Bluetooth Connection Kit Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive on your computer.
Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to access your computer’s CD-ROM drive. From the CD, select Setup.exe.
The Socket Connection Kit Setup Center launches in Internet Explorer. The Setup Center is an HTML-based guide to help you through the installation process. Read the information on the first screen, then select Next.
On the Main Page, select the Install Software link.
The Installation Page appears. Read the instructions for Windows CE and select the Windows CE link.
On the File Download screen, select Open.
The Socket Bluetooth Setup Wizard starts. Follow the wizard to install the software on your PAC Mate. Go to the next section to continue with Bluetooth installation and configuration.

Configuring Bluetooth on the PAC Mate

Following completion of the software installation, the Socket Bluetooth Setup Wizard automatically launches on your PAC Mate. Select Next.
Give your PAC Mate a friendly name. We recommend using the same name that is found in Settings>System>About>Device ID and in most cases, this name is pre-filled in the dialog. Select Next.
If your PAC Mate has fewer than six COM ports free, the Disable IRDA screen appears. We do not recommend disabling IRDA, since this makes it impossible to transfer files using the PAC Mate’s infrared port. Press SPACEBAR to uncheck this item. Select Next.
On the next screen, choose the ports and services you plan to use most. After making your selections, select Next.
Note: You cannot disable the Bluetooth Phone port. You must choose the Bluetooth COM Port in order to use your GPS receiver.
On the last screen, read the instructions and select Finish.
Press ALT+CTRL+DELETE (DOTS 1-2-3-4-6-7-8 CHORD) to warm reset your PAC Mate. This is necessary for changes to take effect.
Wait for the reset to finish before inserting the Bluetooth card.
Note: The first four times you insert the Bluetooth card or restart your PAC Mate with the card inserted, a message that indicates that the operating system has detected a new modem appears. Press TAB to move to the Dismiss button and select it. To completely remove this warning, you may want to insert the Bluetooth card four times now.

Discovering Your GPS Receiver

Turn on your GPS receiver. The receiver does not need to be capable of receiving satellite signals at this point, so you can perform this process indoors.
Insert your Bluetooth card if you have not done so.
After the PAC Mate recognizes the card, the Bluetooth icon appears in the task tray, which can be displayed by pressing JAWS Key+F11 (F5 CHORD) from the Today screen.
Select Bluetooth Transmitting.
Note: If you heard “Bluetooth not transmitting,” press ENTER. The Today screen appears. Reopen the Task Tray and select the Bluetooth icon again.
Press the DOWN ARROW until you hear "Advanced Features" and press ENTER.
Press the DOWN ARROW once to move to Bluetooth Devices and press ENTER.
Place your GPS receiver within 10 meters (30 feet) of your PAC Mate.
Press ALT (F2) to open the menu bar and select Tools.
Select Device Discovery.
The Bluetooth Device Discovery Wizard appears. Press Next, and follow the prompts to allow discovery of your GPS receiver.
Upon discovery of your receiver, press the SPACEBAR to check it. After doing this, press ENTER. A message appears stating that the receiver was successfully detected. Select Finish.
The Bluetooth Devices screen opens. Your GPS receiver appears in the dialog. Press Finish.

Bonding Your GPS Receiver and PAC Mate

Press ALT (F2) to open the menus and select Device. The Bluetooth Devices dialog appears.
Select Bond and follow the prompts. The Bluetooth Device Bonding Wizard opens asking you to enter the bonding code (also known as a Bluetooth pass key) and press Enter. You have approximately 10 seconds to enter the bonding code. Note: Your Bluetooth pass key is 0000 if you are using the bundled GPS receiver. If this does not work, try using 1234. If this code does not work, refer to the user documentation that came with your GPS receiver. Depending on the model of receiver you have, this may be displayed, but if it is not, it should be available in the documentation for the device.
When the bonding process completes, a prompt appears asking you to select Retry (if the process failed) or to select the Finish button. When you select Finish, the Bluetooth Devices window appears.
Press ALT (F2) to open the Menu Bar and select Tools again.
Select My Favorites and press ENTER.
Press CTRL+TAB (DOTS 5-6 CHORD) until you reach the COM Port page.
In the set of radio buttons, select “Use the favorite selected above.”
Press SHIFT+TAB (DOTS 1-2 CHORD) to move to the list of devices assigned to COM ports and use the arrow keys to select your GPS receiver.
Press ENTER to close the My Favorites dialog.
Press ESC (F1) to close the Bluetooth Devices dialog and save your settings. This completes the installation and configuration of StreetTalk.

StreetTalk GPS Receiver Configuration

Before you can fully use StreetTalk, you must configure its connection to your GPS receiver. This is a one-time process. It is not necessary to be receiving satellite signals, so you can perform this configuration indoors.

Make sure that the GPS receiver is turned on.
Start StreetTalk, and select I Agree to accept the legal statement that is read aloud.
Depending on the basic configuration of your Bluetooth support, the first time you start StreetTalk, a GPS configuration dialog appears. If this dialog does not automatically open within five to ten seconds after you hear the StreetTalk welcome message, press ALT+CTRL+G (DOTS 1-2-4-5-7-8) to open it.
Note: Listen closely. In the next step, your PAC Mate will speak aloud which COM port you must use for your receiver. If you miss this information, you must exit StreetTalk and repeat the StreetTalk GPS Receiver Configuration procedures.
The GPS Settings dialog opens and a detailed audio prompt appears that tells you the COM port assigned to your GPS receiver and explains how to complete the configuration.
Use the arrow keys to select the COM port assigned to your receiver.
Press TAB to move to the Set GPS button and press ENTER.
When you hear the announcement that your GPS receiver was found, wait for the process to fully complete. When you hear the COM port announced again, press ESC (F1) to quit the dialog and save your settings.
This completes the installation and configuration of StreetTalk.
