We recommend using a special cradle for your PDA in order to ensure
the safe operation of the navigation system in a vehicle. This will ensure

You can purchase a special cradle for your mobile phone in specialist
stores.

Power supply for the PDA and GPS receiver
It is recommended to connect the PDA and GPS receiver to an external
power supply, especially for long trips.
