Functions
Load Ship File
Use this function to access specific cruise ship file on you device (For Windows Mobile devices they are located
in the My Documents folder).
Settings
This function allows you to set your home cabin location (by cabin number), as well as choose your preferences
such as use of audio and measurement units (feet or meters).
Go to POI (Point of Interest)
This operation allows you to locate a point of interest from a list and then locate it using the built in ship
plans/maps and a dynamic bulls eye cursor. POI Categories include:
- Restaurants
- Bars
- Shops
- Entertainment
- Public Restrooms
- All POIs
Route
This function shows you the route from your cabin or POI to another cabin or POI. The routing information is
displayed as text and graphics, and optionally with a voice prompt. The routing information provides directions,
the trip length in feet or meters, and an estimate of the travel time in minutes. The text and graphical display is
similar to MapQuest (TM), but for a cruise ship.
Reverse Route
This operation reverses the source and destination of the last route; if you have not previously set a route
there is no effect.

Disclaimers:
While Navigator is an amazing software application, please note the following:
- Navigator does NOT show your location on the ship--it's not GPS; it's similar to MapQuest (TM); GPS will
only show location of the ship relative to nearby landmasses or ports
- Distance information is approximate
- Travel time is an estimate; individual passengers will move at different rates depending on age and physical
condition. Also on-board events and time of day will effect travel time
