Operation Manual

2.10.4 POI Warnings
POI warnings is a function which informs the user about approaching a point of
a given category. It can be used to warn the user of dangerous points or traffic
radars on the route. This function also notifies the user of points of interest in
the area by displaying the relevant information, e.g. restaurants or ATMs. The
POI warnings function is active in the show position mode and during
navigation. When the warning function is activated, the system changes the
scale of the displayed map to ensure the maximum visibility of the given POI.
The "Warnings" window in the POI menu can be used to select POI categories
and set the nature of the "warning" message.
POI Warnings 2
A number of POI warning categories from "Traffic Information" are active by
default.
Interesting POI categories are selected with a square to the left of their
names. The square enables POI warnings for a given category, both for
the POIs built into the map and the user-defined ones.
The "Options" and "View" buttons have identical functions to those on the "POI
Display" screen.
The "File" button enables the user to perform basic operations in the
file where the settings for POI warning categories are stored (.war file). The functions are described in the POI
Menu: Management 2.
The number of POI warnings categories should be selected carefully to ensure that the main system functions are not
disrupted during navigation.
POI Warnings 3
After selecting point categories, warning parameters can be modified
separately for every category. Tap on the category name to open the
parameters screen.
In the first screen, the user can define the speed above which the warnings
will be displayed.
The "Repeat" option defines the minimal interval between subsequent
warnings for the same POI.
The options below enable the user to select effects related to the warning,
displayed on the map screen:
• Voice message – the warning message will be accompanied by a
sound. For POI warning, the distance is provided only if it is big
enough.
• Inform about distance to point - specifies the distance on the map
from the displayed POI icon, and generates a voice message about the
distance to POI.
• Display info – a "balloon" is displayed above the point with the
following information: name and description.
• Show until passed – the warning message for the given point
category will continue to be displayed until the user passes the point.
• Do not warn of POI on the left on two-way roads - if this option is selected, the system will warn only of POI
located on the right side of two-way road.
