Appendix 2: Windows Mobile 6.1 Field PC Operations

Introduction

Your MapSight integrates a Windows Mobile 6.1 Field PC (based on Juniper Archer ultra-rugged
technology) with ikeGPS's MapSight camera, compass, laser distance finder and GPS
instrumentation to provide a hard-wearing one stop shop for your mobile data capture needs
in the most extreme environments.
The main user interface of has been optimized to allow best access to MapSight functions.
This optimization has involved replacing the standard Windows Mobile 'Today' screen with a
layout that allows easy access to MapSight functions that are used on a day-to-day basis and
rationalizing the 'Start' menu for frequently-used MapSight-specific options. Screen images in
this section will appear colored with respect to the standard 'Windows Default' theme.
While the MapSight device still retains all the Windows Mobile 6.1 functionality it is primarily
designed as a data-capture device.
WARNING! Adjusting Windows Mobile settings may affect the performance or
functionality of your MapSight unit..
This appendix provides an overview of the additional Windows Mobile Field PC functions pre-
installed on the computer component of your MapSight device.
