Installing WingX on your BlackBerry
Point your BlackBerry's browser to 'mobile.hiltonsoftware.com'
and select 'WingX for the BlackBerry'.
Connecting WingX to the Internet
-
Are you using a BlackBerry Enterprise Server
(BES)? If so, ensure that Tools, Advanced, Using BES is checked - leave it unchecked if not using a BES.
-
Are you using a WiFi connection? If so, ensure
that Tools, Advanced, Use WiFi is checked - leave it unchecked if not using a WiFi connection.
-
If you continually get the Download Failure
message, please refer to "TCP Setting for BlackBerry" below.
Downloading the Databases
The WingX have the following sizes:
- Airport Database - 5MB
- Document Database - 1MB
- Chart Database - up to 495MB
WingX Agent
WingX Agent is a Windows
desktop application whose main task is to download WingX databases via the
desktop's Internet connection and send the databases via the USB cable to
the device's SD Card. To download WingX Agent, please click
here and follow the instructions on the page. The primary reason for using WingX Agent is
to use the desktop's Internet connection
to download the database - this will be significantly faster than using the
BlackBerry's Edge connection, but roughly the same as using a WiFi
connection.
Mass Storage Mode
Before connecting your BlackBerry device to the USB cable, ensure that the
device's settings in Options, Media Card, are set as follows:
- Media Card Support - On
- Encryption Mode - Usually None although
not necessarily
- Mass Storage Mode Support - On
- Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When
Connected - On (Prompt is OK too, just be sure to respond to the
prompt when connecting)
Updating The Databases
After connecting the BlackBerry to the USB cable, ensure that the WingX ID
appears in the top-right. If not, click on the 'Update from Device'
button. This will read the WingX ID and display it. WingX
Agent is scheduled to sync with our servers every morning - you can see
the time the sync will start in the status bar at the bottom of the
screen. You can force WingX Agent to sync immediately by using File,
Sync. If you leave WingX Agent minimized, but not closed, it will
automatically sync every morning around 3am or so. Your device does
not need to be attached for WingX Agent to sync with our servers as long
as it knows your WingX ID and displays it in the top-right. To sync
the databases that WingX Agent has downloaded, click on the "Send to
BlackBerry's SD Card" button. Be sure to close WingX on your
device before sending the databases - use Tools, Close - WingX Agent will
prompt you to do this step before sending the databases to the device.
Summary
Although the information above seems like a
lot to remember, here are some simple guidelines.

instructions on our web page
- Set Mass Storage Mode Setting on your
BlackBerry

to force an immediate sync.

- Close WingX - use Tools, Close
- Click on the "Send to BlackBerry's
SD Card" button
