Preface
Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing this Windows®Mobile ™ for Pocket PC with
built-in GPS function. Due to the size and capabilities of the device, you can
keep your most important business and personal information up-to-date and
close at hand. MicrosoftActiveSyncincreases the power of your Yakumo
deltaX GPS by allowing you to synchronize the information on your desktop or
Microsoft Exchange Server with your Yakumo deltaX GPS. Picture yourself in
the following situations:
 While walking with a colleague, your cell phone rings and your boss asks if
you two are free this afternoon for an emergency meeting. While your
colleague fumbles through his paper organizer, you press a button on your
Yakumo deltaX GPS and instantly see a list of today’s appointments and
meetings. You are quickly able to tell the boss your available times. For
more information on scheduling appointments and meetings, see Chapter 4.
 You are meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You download
the latest movie information from the Internet to your desktop computer and
then synchronize it with your Yakumo deltaX GPS. At dinner, you pull out
your Yakumo deltaX GPS and review your movie options with your friends.
For more information on downloading Web pages to your device, see
Chapter 6.
 A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab
your Yakumo deltaX GPS and catch the bus just in time. Because
ActiveSync keeps the information on your Yakumo deltaX GPS up-to-date,
you leisurely review your task list, make notes about the new books and
CDs you want to buy and read and respond to e-mail messages. When you
get back to the office, ActiveSync transfers any task changes you made,
v

your notes and your e-mail message responses to your desktop computer.
For more information on ActiveSync, see section 5.1.
 Your Yakumo deltaX GPS is also a GPS (Global Positioning System)
equipment. You can use it as a navigation aid while on the road. For
information on using GPS, see the manual supplied with the GPS software.
