C1 Mobile - Navigation Core

C1 Mobile Version 12.2 - Navigation Core Manual

Thankyou for choosing C1 Mobile, Australia’s first locally designed and support enterprise navigation and despatch solution specifically for Windows XP Tablet PCs and UMPCs.

C1 Mobile gives your Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or Vista enabled touchscreen PC or Ultra Mobile PC the ability to handle

·         Location based routing with full voice commands

·         Complex day planning activities based on jobs

·         Intra-fleet networked messaging

·         New feature sets include OBDII vehicle interfacing for vehicle diagnostics

 

 

C1 Mobile Version 12.2 requires:

·         Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later (Standard or Tablet)

·         Pentium III 700Mhz - 1Ghz Processor or better recommended

·         512Mb RAM (1Gb recommended for speech recognition)

·        NMEA GPS, Virtual or Hardware GPS (including all Panasonic Internal varieties now supported)

·         Screen resolution of 800x600 or higher

      (or 800x480 screen doubled)

·       Noise cancelling headset with microphone for best performance with voice recognition

 

Package contents (Varies between fleet releases):

·       Most C1 Mobile deployments are CD based with an enterprise license

 


 

Mapping data from the latest releases of Sensis, MapInfo and Navteq (on request) provide you highly accurate turn by turn navigation to virtually any metropolitan address in Australia.  Multiple data sets can be installed and easily switched from within C1 Mobile to provide on-road and off road navigation along with navigation in foreign countries with no additional application installation or technical challenges.

Data Updates are available from the major mapping suppliers around every 6 to 12 months and we strive to ensure we supply the very latest version of data available from your chosen map data licensee. New data can be pushed to your fleet using the AutoUpdate function within C1 Mobile Manager.

Data correction suggestions can be sent directly to support@c1au.com for handling directly to the map data provider.

GPS Accuracy is currently around 5-10m but does vary from time to time depending on weather conditions and satellite geometry. C1 Mobile incorporates auto-snap-to-map features to ensure the best possible accuracy in all conditions.

1)    GPS data is used by C1 Mobile to show your position and speed on the mapping data. 

2)    It can also send driver position reports and handle location based job messaging.

3)    C1 Mobile uses the NMEA GPS data sentences from your onboard GPS solution to navigate.

4)    You can enter a destination by

·         selecting addresses in your Dayplanner,

·         simply choose an address from your Favourites (including historical addresses) or

·         Create a list of optimised jobs and move from customer site to customer site with ease.

5)    If you do not select a destination or accept any jobs, C1 Mobile will continue to track your progress but will be unable to suggest routes, ETA’s etc.

DO NOT use C1 Mobile in such a way that it may interfere with the safe operation of your vehicle.

C1 Mobile contains a DriveSafe mode which selectably will disable the screen controls or blank the screen whilst the vehicle is in motion above a set speed. 

It may be an offence under your contract or OH&S guidelines to interfere with these features or attempt to bypass them.  (They may be locked by your supervisor under password protection.).

C1 Mobile as standard uses Sensis Australian consumer routing data and is not designed for use in emergency vehicles or those transporting passengers where routing inaccuracies may lead to personal injury, death or environmental damage.

Please ensure that all road signs, road rules and traffic conditions are obeyed at all times – regardless of any suggested directions provided by the routing system. C1 and its supplies specifically disclaims all warranties, implied or express with relation to fitness for purpose of the third party provided mapping data and associated routing systems.

C1 Mobile contains two core speech engines.  A high quality recorded voice engine and the Microsoft Speech SDK engine which provides the perfect combination of quality and flexibility.

Using the MS Speech SDK, you can also have C1 Mobile recognise the majority of menu and interface options throughout the software.  Buttons marked with a yellow speech bubble can be speech activated by saying the name on the button. Simple as that.

talkIconNoteSpeech recognition can be invoked by speaking the text on the button with a yellow speech bubble on the top right hand corner.

Inputting text on input fields: Speak out the title on the left hand side of the input field. This places the cursor into the input field and changes into spelling mode in which the user can spell out the required word of number using the international radiotelephony spelling (NATO phonetic) alphabet (eg. Alpha = A, Bravo = B, One = 1, Two = 2,..etc.) When you’re done and want to go to the next field or use a command, speak ‘Spell complete’ which will take you out of spelling mode into normal command mode.

Voice commands for screen controls on main screen:

·         “Zoom in”: Zooms into the map

·         “Zoom out”: Zooms out of the map

·         “Minimise screen”: Minimises the window

·         “Full screen”: Changes into full screen mode

·         “Exit application”: Exits Telstra Navigation

For all other screens:

·         “Close screen”: Closes the window and opens up the previous window

For a detailed list of all the speech commands, please refer to the Appendix.

C1 Mobile contains an optional customisable Camera POI database containing the latest fixed speed and red light camera locations.

An audible warning will sound when approaching these cameras (at 400m then 100m).
