Operation Manual

2.8.4 Searching by geographic coordinates
Program supports the search for locations using GPS
geographic coordinates. Select the "GPS point" option from
the Go to/Search menu (this option is not available in the
simplified menu). Enter the geographic coordinates of the
searched point and click on the "Go to" button to activate the
route mapping manager, and map the route from the present
point to the entered point.
The entered point is regarded as an ordinary map point, for
which a variety of options are available (the menu can be
accessed by clicking on the "Other options" button); it can be
added to the POI database, the favourite points list, it can be
displayed on the map, set as the "start" or "end" point.
The format of coordinates can be changed using the
"Options" button on the bottom bar of the screen.
2.9 Map points
Favourite points
Favourite points are a reference set of user-defined points. They can be used to register the addresses of family
members, favourite restaurants or any other frequently visited locations.
The program automatically creates a "Car" favourite point, which remembers the last GPS position upon the shut-down
of external power supply or program exit (helping you find a car at a parking lot, etc.).
Favourite points are set on the map by opening the context menu in any location on the map or found object (address,
POI, etc.) and by choosing the "Add to favourites" option. First, one has to enter the "Name", and then the
"Description" of the favourite point.
The function of adding a favourite point can also be assigned to a hardware key (refer to the section "Settings: Buttons").
Favourite points are displayed on the map by a flag icon:
Favourite points can be moved on the map, deleted or copied with the use of "Copy/Cut/Delete/Paste" options from the
context menu.
The favourite points editing screen is found in the POI menu.
2.9.2 Home/Work
Home/Work are special favourite points, which are assigned own options in the "Go to" menu. When the "Home" or
"Work" option is selected, navigation is activated directly – you do not have to go through the context menu.
Similarly to favourite points, "Home" and "Work" points can be defined by opening the context menu in any location on
the map or found object (address, POI, etc.) and by choosing the "Mark as Home" or "Mark as Work" option. Another
method of adding points is direct selection of the "Set home" or "Set work" keys in menu "Go to".
The points have their own icons on the map: and
The points are displayed on the list of favourite points ("Go to|Favourite points").
2.9.3 POI (Points of Interest)
The map contains a built-in POI base for every country. The POI base includes objects such as pharmacies,
restaurants, ATMs, hotels, etc. They are marked on the map with icons corresponding to the given category.
The POI categories are grouped in a hierarchical tree synchronised with the AutoMapa users' service
http://www.miplo.pl.
If under the given category there is the icon, it means it is a master category - it contains POIs or other categories. If
the user wants to browse the master category contents, they must click the icon. To close an open category, the
icon must be clicked.
