The Mapyx Quo activation process is as follows:

1) Run Quo. 2) Go under Help menu. 3) Under Help menu select Activation. 4) Under Activation window type in your username and password.

NOTE: If you don't have a Quo Account yet, just type the login details you wish to have and Quo will create a new Quo Account for you. NOTE: If you previously activated Quo, you can skip the activation of Quo and proceed with the Endura GPS activation. Once Mapyx Quo is installed and activated, you can now activate your Endura GPS. Your Endura GPS is pre-installed with Quo Mobile on a micro SD card. In order to start using your Endura GPS you need to activate your Quo Mobile and maps you wish to use on the Endura GPS via your computer (an internet connection IS required).
