Operation Manual

Organise pop-up menu
This function changes the sequence in which pop-up menu
categories are displayed in display, warning and POI search
windows. The arrows move the selected category up or down
accordingly.
To delete a pop-up menu category, click it and select "delete
pop-up menu category".
Adding POI
POI are set on the map by opening the context menu in any
place on the map or found object (address, POI, etc.) and by
choosing the "Add to POI" option. This function can also be
assigned to a hardware key (refer to the section "Settings:
Buttons").
To add POI, first select the respective category and name the
POI. You can also add a short description. The new POI will
be identified on the map with the same icon, which is used to mark other points from the given category.
POI edit screen
The user can also edit and delete POI or import them in file format from other AutoMapa users or Internet servers (e.g.
miplo.pl). This can be done with the use of the "Management" screen in the POI menu.
User icons
Points from user-defined categories are marked on the map with the following icon .
To assign a user icon or modify the icons of the existing points (including built-in points), you will need a 16 x 16 pixel
bitmap in BMP format with an 8-bit colour palette. The name of the file has to be identical to the name of the given point
category. Copy the file to the "Icons" folder in the program installation directory.
2.10 Show position
This program mode is activated automatically, when the GPS
receiver is turned on and when the position is set by the
system.
2.10.1 System layout and operation in the
show position mode
When the GPS position has been set, program automatically
switches to the show GPS position mode – the present position
is continuously displayed on the map as a pulsating arrow in a
circle. The map revolves automatically to show the largest
possible area in the travelled direction, and the user's present
position is shown at the bottom of the screen. By default, the
3D map view mode is activated. After a short while, the night
mode may be automatically activated if the received GPS
signal indicates time past sundown.
By moving a finger across the screen, the user interrupts the show position mode, and this mode will be restored
automatically a few seconds after the last movement of the finger across the map.
A single tap on the screen opens the "Your menu" pop-up menu.
2.10.2 "Your menu" pop-up menu
When the software operates in the show GPS position mode, the user can open the "Your menu" pop-up by touching the
screen. If no operations are performed by the user in the course of several seconds, the menu will be closed automatically
to protect the screen against accidental touching.
