======================
3. Installation
--------------
You can install the application on either your computer or Smartphone. We recommend taking the Smartphone user guide if you need the complete information about installation of applications on Smartphone.

*) Certificate error note: On some phones with a default setting which allows to install signed applications only. It could be disabled in
[Menu] -> [Tools] -> [Application Manager] -> [Setting] -> [Software installation] -> [All] (Default is "Signed only")

We recommend installing SmartComGPS on disk "C". After the initial setup, the application creates essential folders for its work:
Drive name:\System\apps\SmartcomGPS - this folder contains program modules required for the application to work properly. Don’t delete this folder and files located in it. Otherwise the application will not work correctly. Also, during installation of SmartComGPS, set two directories - one in a mobile phone’s memory and another on a flash-card
c:\documents\SmartComGPS and
e:\documents\SmartComGPS,
for 3d-edition Symbian phones folders are
c:\data\SmartComGPS and
e:\data\SmartComGPS,
those two directories have same structure. The subfolders are used for the following purposes:

  • Audio – in this folder you can put sound files which will play during navigation.
  • Maps – you can put the files with maps. We recommend storing files with maps on your memory card, because the sizes of these files are rather large.
  • Names – the folder contains base of names for searching of objects on the map.
  • Routes – the folder contains files of routes. You can create routes on either your computer or smartphone.
  • Tracks – the folder contains files of tracks. Generally SmartComGPS records tracks on its own and saves them in this folder
  • Waypoints – the folder contains files of the route waypoints.
