Part II. GPS Navigation Part II tells you how to use the GPS navigation function.
4 Navigation Basics In this chapter you will learn how to start GPS positioning, select origin (starting point) and destination (end point). Then, you can begin your journey with the navigation program to guide you down the road. NOTE: This chapter assumes that you are in the default Navigation mode. To learn how to use Planner mode, see Section 5.4. 4.1 Before You Start Before you begin navigation, you must have the right map preinstalled in your storage card.
Checking the Map Data You can check the map data using Switch Map function. (See Section 4.2 for more information.) If your MMC card includes the map you need, use Switch Map function to switch to the correct map. If you cannot find the map from your storage card, you can use Mio Map Wizard to install map(s). (See Section 8.1 for more information.) Maps of North America The map data for North America is divided into nine regions or parts, including USA1 ~ USA7, Hawaii, and Canada.
4.2 Starting GPS Navigation Software 7. Make sure that an MMC card with map data is inserted and that either external power is available or the battery has power. 8. Rotate the GPS antenna of your device to the horizontal position. This allows the receiver to receive signals from the GPS satellites overhead. NOTE: When in poor reception areas, for better signal reception, you may choose to use an optional external antenna. 9. Press the power button on the device to start the system.
12. Once you see the map screen, assuming you are in Navigation mode (for Planner mode, see section 7.3), the system will automatically start positioning. Once the unit has a fix on your position, you will see a small arrow in a blue circle on the screen indicating your current location. NOTE: For initial positioning, make sure that you remain at the same spot with a clear view of the sky. The GPS may take a few minutes to find its current location initially.
Zooming the Map You can zoom the map from 30 yards (50 meters) to 5 miles (500 km) using any of the following methods: Drag the slider of the zoom scroll bar. Drag up to zoom in and down to zoom out. Tap + of the zoom scroll bar to zoom in and to zoom out. Press the Zoom In button zoom out. to zoom in and Zoom Out button to Automatic Zoom On While in Navigation mode, the Automatic Zoom mode is turned on by default. The zoom level automatically adjusts for the current speed of the vehicle.
Step 2. Positioning By default, your origin is your GPS position, indicated by the icon map. on the NOTE: You can manually select your origin if desired. (See “Part 2. Manually Select the Origin” in Section 5.4 for information.) Step 3. Selecting a Destination You can use Address, POI, Favorites or History to set your destination. (See Section 4.3 for instructions.) Step 4. Navigation Once your destination is selected, tap Navigation (top toolbar/pop-up menu).
A Point Of Interest (POI) from the list A location in Favorites (personal stored locations) An address in History (previous destinations) NOTE: If there are roads that you want Mio Map to avoid when calculating a route, use the Avoid Roads function. (See Section 5.1 for instructions.) Using Address If you have information such as address, intersection, or zip code of your destination, you can use this method to select a location. 1. Press the Navigation Settings button once and tap Address.

Intersection If your destination is an intersection and you know the names of the two streets, you can use this method. While in the Address menu, tap the button and tap Intersection to change the sequence for entering the address to City Street Street.
Using Point of Interest (POI) POI on a map represents local places of interest or importance. POIs are identified on the maps by various icons (e.g. for Banks, or for Restaurants).

Press the Navigation Settings button once and tap History. 2. Tap (highlight) the desired item in the history list. 3. You can preview your destination by tapping Show (top toolbar). 4. To calculate the route, tap Navigate (top toolbar).
Using Map Cursor Map Cursor means using the stylus pen to pinpoint a location on the map and then view details, set as origin, save the location to Favorites or initiate navigation to the location. Navigate to Map Cursor is especially handy when you want to navigate to a physical location, facility, or attraction by its location on the map rather than by its street address. 1. Use the stylus pen to drag the map to a specific location or intersection of your choice. 2.
4.7 Navigational Aids Calculating a Route With a destination selected, tap Navigate (top toolbar). Mio Map calculates the route and shows the route in a blue line on the map. You can start your journey right away. As you go along, Mio Map gives you turn-by-turn voice prompts to get you to your destination.
