drive. The system generates a sound message, shows the distance to the first point. The points have a bold frame
around, and the map zoom changes in order to display them clearly. The system generates a voice message for the
second point and displays information about that point.
User warning sounds
The user can customise warning sounds for the given POI category. To do this, copy your .WAV file (preferably 22 kHz/8
bit/mono) with a name identical to the name of the POI category to the "Voices" folder in the program installation
directory.
The navigation system also enables you to customise sounds for a selected POI. To activate this option:
1. Move the .WAV file (e.g. my.wav) to the "Voices" folder.
2. Insert the "@@my" line n the POI description.
3. Activate the warning sound option for a given POI category, and select the "Display information" option in the first
bookmark.
2.11 Navigation
Navigation is an operating mode of the program, in which the system indicates the user's position on the map (if GPS is
on) and the mapped route. In the navigation mode, the program guides the user to the point of destination by displaying
the mapped route and the vehicle's position on the map, and displays the pilot panel, which notifies the user about the
upcoming manoeuvres, accompanied by voice messages.
There are two ways of starting navigation:
• by selecting the point of destination with the use of the "Go to/Search" option: the system maps the route,
displays the entire route on the screen, generates a voice message on the length of the route and the time
required to reach the destination, and activates navigation after a few seconds, or
• by mapping the route with START and END points, activating GPS or navigation (if GPS is already on) in the
"GPS" menu.
2.11.1 Mapping the route
To map the route, the user has to define at least two points –
the beginning and the end of the route. They can be set on the
map or with the use of the "Go to/Search" menu option, by
selecting the START or END option in the context menu. The
system will ask the user whether the route should be mapped
and will do it after receiving an affirmative answer.
If the user chooses the "Go to" option in the context menu for
any point on the map or another object, the route is mapped
between the user's present position and the selected point, and
navigation is activated automatically.
Mapping the route 2
The course of the mapped route can be modified with the use of
"THROUGH" points (which can also be set in the context menu).
"THROUGH" points force the route to intersect a given location. The type of the THROUGH point can be selected:
• THROUGH area - an Intelligent THROUGH Point is created. The location of this point is not detailed upon route
mapping, but only adjusted to the course of the route. The point is used for specifying the initial course of the
route which is then adjusted to obtain a set, optimal distance to that point (depending on the size of the
city/town where the point is located).
• THROUGH point - forces the route to pass exactly through the indicated point. If a city/town is selected without
specifying the street, the route will run through the centre.
Before the route to the new destination is confirmed, the system may ask whether to remove the unnumbered THROUGH
points from the previous route.
Mapping the route 3
The sequence of points on the route can be modified in the "Route" menu, by selecting the "Information" option in the
"Route points" window. The option contains valuable information on the mapped route: a list of manoeuvres, a
comparison of travelling distance and time along various road categories, etc.
The route start time can be set by clicking the "start date" button. The system will select the route using data from the
AM'Traffic system, taking into account the time limits and road throughput at the moment when the route reaches it. The
return route - to the START point - can be mapped with the use of the "Reverse" option in the "Route" menu.
The route type can be changed when this option is selected in the first screen of the "Route" menu. The system supports
the following route types:
