1 Warnings and safety information MioMap is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected destination. It will determine your exact location with the help of the built-in GPS receiver and antenna. The position information obtained from the GPS receiver will not be transmitted anywhere, so others will not be able to track you. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate MioMap before beginning your journey. The driver’s attention should always be on the road.
2 General information MioMap is a navigation system optimized for in-car use. It provides door-to-door navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route parameters. MioMap is capable of planning routes throughout the whole installed map set. Unlike some other products, MioMap does not require that you change maps or switch to a poorly detailed general map to navigate between map segments or countries. You always have complete freedom to go wherever you wish.
3 Operating MioMap (Controls) MioMap is designed for easy operation. All controls are operable by fingertips. Wherever possible, pushbuttons and lists are provided to make accessing functions or changing settings as easy as possible. 3.1 Hardware buttons There is only one hardware button on your MioMap v3.3. Please, refer to the provided Hardware User's Manual for more details. The majority of the MioMap functions can be accessed using the touch screen. The hardware buttons are the following: 3.1.
3.2 Screen buttons and controls The primary input channel of MioMap is the touch screen. If you read on, you will realize that most parts of the screen are not only used to display information but also to initiate functions by tapping. Below you will find a list of the most frequently used controls in the program. 3.2.1 Direct selectors Some of the settings can be chosen from a short list of possible values. If the values can be described graphically, all values are available on the screen.
3.2.4 Switches When a function can only have two values (mainly Enabled and Disabled), a switch is used. Unlike with list selectors, the horizontal line contains the name of the function and not the actual status. There is a lamp on the left to show whether the function is active or not. When the tick mark is missing , the function is not selected. When it is displayed , the function is enabled. The whole strip works as a button. Tap anywhere to toggle between the enabled and disabled status. 3.2.
3.2.6.1 ABC-type keyboards These keyboards contain only letters (Latin, Hebraic, Greek or Cyrillic). If you wish to enter numbers, you need to tap the Keys button to switch to the numeric keyboard. Use Backspace (arrow pointing left) to delete the last letter you have entered if you have made a mistake, tap Space to enter more words, and hit List or Done to finish entering the text. This type of keyboard has large, finger-friendly buttons.
The special keys described in the previous section are also available here. 3.2.6.3 The numeric keyboard The numeric keyboard only contains numbers, on huge buttons. The special keys you find on the other keyboards (except Space) are available here as well. Although QWERTY-type keyboards also contain number keys, when entering a house number, the program offers the more convenient numeric keypad.
4 Discovering the program through the screens The best way to discover MioMap is to explore each screen in detail, and to find out how to move from one to another. Read this chapter for a guided tour. 4.1 Main menu MioMap starts by displaying the Main menu. This is the root of the screen hierarchy, but you need to return here very rarely while using the program. Screens are also accessible from each other to reduce the number of actions needed to initiate a function or change a setting.
No. Content Explanation Button to open History Page 68 Button to open Settings Page 72 Button to exit MioMap 4.2 The map The most important and most frequently used screen of MioMap is the screen with the map (Split screen). The elements of the map are described here. For the controls and special functions see Page 24. The current version of MioMap is primarily intended for land navigation. That is why maps in MioMap look similar to paper roadmaps (when using daytime colors and 2D map mode).
4.2.2 Zoom levels MioMap uses high quality vector maps that let you see the map at various zoom levels, always with optimized content. Street names and other text objects are always displayed with the same font size, never upside down, and you only see as many streets and objects as needed to find your way around the map. Zoom in and out to see how the map changes in either the 2D or 3D view. Changing the scale of the map is very easy. You can use the zoom icons (Page ) on the Split screen.
Note: The automatic day/night mode is based upon the current date and GPS position by which MioMap calculates the exact sunrise and sunset times on the particular day at the particular location. Using that information MioMap can automatically switch between the color schemes a few minutes before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset before it gets dark. Tip: There are several daytime and night color schemes included with MioMap.
tilting up and down to see how MioMap switches between the two modes in an instant. Note: The automatic switching is on even when using Smart Zoom. At first you may find it odd, but later you will discover how it adjusts the displayed information to the current view of the map. It is important, as the driver must be able to read the map at a glance. Tip: If you do not want to be bothered by street names during navigation, turn them off in Map Options (Page 85). 4.2.
road where you drive (e.g. on the right in the United States and on the left in the U.K.) on two-way roads. You always see this corrected position on the map. The position given by the GPS is not displayed, but this is the information recorded in the track log. When recorded track logs are shown on the map, the line is not corrected. You see the positions reported by the GPS. Note: The Lock-on-Road feature can be turned off in Advanced settings (Page 86) for pedestrian use.
These icons are large enough to recognize the symbol, and semi-transparent so as not to cover the streets and junctions behind them. When the map is zoomed out, the icons are not shown. As you zoom in, small dots appear at the locations of visible POIs. Zooming in further makes the full icons appear. If two points are too close to each other so that icons overlap, a multi-POI icon is shown instead of individual ones. Zoom in more to see them separately.
4.2.9 Road safety cameras Road safety cameras, such as speed cameras and red light cameras are special POI types in MioMap. They are described in detail here: Page 54. 4.2.10 Elements of the Active Route MioMap uses a multi-destination routing system in which more elements can be distinguished.
The line of the route is displayed on the driving side of the road for two-way and on the axis in case of one-way streets. When the map is zoomed in and the line is wide enough, small arrows show the direction of the route. This can be useful if you preview the route before starting the journey or when entering a complex junction. 4.2.10.
No.
*** Appears only when a route is active **** Appears only when a route is active and the next turn is near ***** Appears only if speed limit is known for the current road 4.3.1 Turn preview (No. 1) When the first (default) page of the Info Panel is shown, and there is an active route, this field shows a graphic illustration of the next maneuver. For example when you approach a turn, an arrow will show whether it is a slight, normal or sharp turn.
4.3.3 Tilt up and down (No. 4 & 5) These semi-transparent buttons are only displayed if "Zoom & Tilt" is enabled in the Quick menu (Page 43). This function modifies the vertical viewing angle of the map in 3D mode. You can change the angle in a wide range starting from a top down view (2D view is seamlessly integrated) all the way to a flat view that lets you see far ahead.
Note: When the Split screen is open, you do not need to tap the Follow button. Just wait for 30 seconds without tapping the screen, and MioMap will automatically reenable Lock-to-Position and/or Smart Zoom. If you tap the screen during this period, the 30 seconds countdown will restart. 4.3.5 Cursor (No.
Tap this icon to switch to North-up mode. Now the map is fixed to keep facing North. The icon and map change to show the new rotation mode. Tap the icon again to enter Overview mode. This mode looks similar to the North-up mode with one difference: the zoom level in this mode has a fixed default to give you a better look of where you are on a 2D view map.
• When small car symbols are displayed under the dish, TMC information is available. 4.3.10 Battery status (No. 12) The status of the battery is also shown by MioMap. You can estimate the available power reserve from the length of the bar inside. Some examples: • The thunderbolt in the battery shows the battery is being charged. • Battery is not charging, but it is at full capacity. • Battery in not full, but there is sufficient reserve capacity.
During track log playback a green icon will blink. Tapping this icon (in fact, tapping the screen anywhere) stops the simulation. 4.3.13 Cursor menu (No. 15) The Cursor is the selected point on the map (marked by a red dot and radiating red circles around it), or the current GPS position when it is available and Lock-toPosition is enabled. When you tap the screen to place the Cursor, the Cursor menu pops up automatically to give you the list of possible functions you can use the Cursor for.
first get some fuel at B’ or want to influence the direction of the route). This menu point works only if a route is already active. • Remove Via: removes the ‘via point’ near or at the Cursor. The route will be recalculated immediately excluding the deleted point. This menu point replaces Add Via and is available only if the Cursor is near or at a via point. • Continue: add a new destination to be reached after the previous destination.
4.3.14 Current street (No. 16) This field of the Split screen shows the name or number (as available) of the current street or road you are driving on. 4.3.15 Travel and Route data (No. 17) The contents of this area are different when cruising (without an active route) or navigating (following an active route). While cruising, the current time is shown at the top, and an analog speedometer shows the current speed and the speed limit.
This field is only displayed when navigating a route. 4.3.18 Approaching next turn (No. 20) This proximity indicator bar is only visible when approaching the next route event. It appears on the screen to visualize the distance when you get closer than 300 meters (1000 feet) to the next turn, and it remains visible till you reach the turn. This field is displayed only when navigating a route. 4.3.19 Current speed limit (No.
4.4.1 GPS data displayed The virtual sky on the left represents the currently available satellites. The satellites are shown at their current positions. The GPS receives data from both the green and gray satellites. Signals from the gray satellites are only received, while green ones are used by the GPS to calculate your current location. On the right you can see the satellite signal strength bars. Dark bars are for the gray and orange bars are for the green satellites.
• yellow means 2D reception. A GPS position has been acquired, MioMap is ready for navigation, but the GPS is using enough satellites for calculating the horizontal position only. Elevation data is not provided, and the position error may be significant. • green means 3D reception. The GPS receiver has enough satellites to calculate altitude. Position is generally correct (yet it can still be inaccurate due to different environmental factors). MioMap is ready for navigation. 4.4.
4.5.1 Route data displayed (for destination and via points) In the top section of the screen you see information about the current route. These fields are continuously updated while you keep this screen open. When you open the screen, all fields contain information on reaching your final destination. Tap any of the fields to see data on the via points starting from the first one through the final destination again. 4.5.1.
that belongs to a via point, the route is colored only up to that via point. The rest of the line remains gray. 4.5.1.2 Distance Left This is the distance you need to travel on the route before reaching your final destination. If via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the distance to reach the first, second, etc. via point. 4.5.1.3 Method This field shows how the route was calculated. It either displays the ‘Route’ or the ‘Vehicle’ field from the Route parameter settings.
warnings, so icons always show information for the whole route, even if the data fields display values from your current position to a via point only. Click on any of the icons to show its description. A few samples of the available icons: • This icon shows that you need to pay toll on the recommended route. • This icon shows that the route contains motorways. Tap the icon to see the total length of the motorways in the recommended route.
4.5.3 Fit to screen Tap this button to display an overview of the whole recommended route. You will jump to the Split screen with a 2D North-up view so that you can check where the route takes you. 4.5.4 Parameters This button opens the Route parameter settings screen (Page 79) otherwise opened from the Route menu (Page 49). 4.6 Info Panel The right side of the Split screen is a collapsible panel with four different pages of useful travel information. Below is the description of their content. 4.6.
The events are numbered. The number also appears on the map for easy recognition. Tap the up or down arrow buttons to see more TMC messages. Tap any of the list items to have it shown in the center of the map. Tap it again to see its details. Tap Yes to avoid this road segment, or No to return to the map. 4.6.4 Itinerary This is a list of the nearest route events, the Itinerary. The turn preview icon, distance and the involved road or city name are shown in the list.
Tap Avoid Maneuver to exclude this turn from your route, Avoid Road to exclude the road that starts with this turn, or tap Cancel to return to the map. 4.7 Menu The Menu button can be found in the bottom left corner of the map screen. Tapping this button brings up a menu that allows you to access some of the most frequently used functions of MioMap. 4.7.1 Find tab The first page of the Menu is Find. It lets you select a destination without first having to locate it on the map.
4.7.2.1 2D / 3D Map (switch) This button switches between the top-down and the perspective views of the map screen. The states of this button are: In 3D mode the map shows a perspective view. You can use the tilt buttons (Page 27) to change the angle of the view if they are enabled with the switch right from this one (Page 43). In 2D mode, the map is displayed in a conventional top-down view. This view is also the end of the tilt range, so it can also be accessed by tilting the map up.
Turn on or off the night colors manually to override the automatic color scheme switching. Note: Using this option turns off the Automatic Night Colors feature. You need to reenable it at the General settings screen (Page 72) to have the colors change automatically again. 4.7.2.4 Manage POI (Points of Interest) Here you can set all the parameters of POIs that you have created and the visibility of the built-in POIs that come with the map.
Tapping again the highlighted POI group (except for My POI – described later) opens the list of subcategories of that group. Here you cannot see bicolor subgroups, as visibility can only be set for the top two levels of categories. Showing and hiding a subgroup is done the same way as for the main groups. Manage My POI By highlighting then tapping again the My POI switch on the Manage POI main screen you can manage the POI groups and items that you have created.
necessarily need to create POI groups in advance. You can do it while saving a new POI. • Delete: you can delete any of your previously saved My POI groups. This will delete all POIs in that group. MioMap will ask you to confirm this action. • Edit: you can edit the attributes (name, icon, visibility level) of a previously created My POI group. • Left/right arrows: if your groups fill several pages, these buttons will let you browse through them.
• Delete: you can delete any of your previously saved POIs. MioMap will ask you to confirm this action. 4.7.2.5 Popup Information (switch) This button enables or disables the popup information of the Cursor on the map screen. The states of this button are: When this feature is enabled, tapping the screen (activating the Cursor, a radiating red dot) also opens a pop-up box with the selected street name, house number and the name of the nearby POIs, if any.
When a track log is being recorded, a new line appears in this list with an underscore, as newly recorded track logs are not shown in the map normally. Tip: If you wish to see the track log currently being recorded, tap on it twice to make it visible. In this screen you have the following options: • Record: this will initiate track log recording. A new line appears in the list, and GPS position data will be saved until you stop the recording or exit MioMap.
• Track log options: this button in the upper right corner leads to a settings screen where you can set up the track logging parameters: • Update interval is how often track points will be saved. Position information is normally received once a second from the GPS. If you do not need such a detailed log, you can increase this number to save track log space. • Current autosave track size: this figure shows how much memory is used by the automatically saved track logs.
It brings up a menu with four options. Using one of these functions you can modify the current route. Recalculate This function repeats the route calculation based on the same settings as used to calculate previously. This possibility is typically used when automatic off-route recalculation is disabled. However you may consider using it when you travel on a road parallel to that recommended by the route. In this case MioMap may not recalculate the route for some time, but you can force recalculation here.
Note: When you use this feature, MioMap will keep on excluding the same part of the map from later routes until you manually delete the route (Page 51), or restart MioMap. Cancel This option returns directly to the map screen without recalculating the active route. If you choose this option when manual route recalculation is configured (Page 76), navigation stops and will be activated again when you are back on your original route. 4.7.3.
• Route summary: tapping the Mode button again will show an overview of the route that contains only the significant roads and intersections. Show Tap this button to see the highlighted list item on the map. This will help you identify route events in the list. Avoid Tap this button to show a list of possibilities for modifying the route. They let you recalculate the route avoiding the highlighted event and sometimes also some of the subsequent ones.
4.7.3.4 Fly Over This feature has no navigation function, it merely provides a quick view of the route. It will present a simulation of the route showing what you will see later when navigating. Lifelike simulation Tap the Fly Over button. In this mode the simulation is run at normal speed (using the speed limit of the streets and roads in the route), and voice instructions are also played.
is for via points only. Your starting point and destination remain in their positions, of course. • Up and Down: using these buttons you can reorder the list by moving the highlighted item up or down in the list. 4.7.3.6 Info This button opens the Route Information screen described here: Page 36. This screen shows information about the current route and has a few additional options to check and modify your active route. 4.7.
4.8.1 Camera types There are four types of speed cameras: 4.8.1.1 Fixed cameras Some cameras stand by the roadside, looking in one direction, measuring one or both directions of the traffic. They measure your current speed. For these cameras you can specify the controlled traffic direction and the speed limit. MioMap will warn you when you approach these cameras in the measured direction. If your speed exceeds the speed limit near the camera, a special warning sound will be played.
4.8.1.4 Section control cameras These cameras work in pairs, and do not measure your current speed but your average speed between the two cameras. Both will identify your car, and record the exact time you pass them. The difference between the two points of time will be used to calculate your average speed. MioMap will warn you when you approach one of these cameras, but as you pass by, the warning stays on, and your average speed is measured until you reach another camera of this type.
4.8.3 Speed limit checked As additional information, the speed limit checked by the camera is given for fixed, built-in and section control cameras. When you manually save a camera location from the Cursor menu (Page 31), the speed limit of the road (if available) is used by default, but you can change this value with the given control: 4.8.
If public TMC data is broadcast at your location, MioMap will automatically take into account the TMC information received. You do not need to set anything in the program. The receiver will automatically search the FM radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will immediately be used in route planning.
4.9.2.1 Selected FM radio station The name and frequency of the selected radio station will appear at the top of this window, together with signal strength information indicated by a bar similar to the GPS satellite signal strength bars on the GPS Data screen. If there are no radio stations broadcasting TMC data in your area, the receiver keeps on searching. You will see the frequency continuously sweeping across the FM CCIR radio band (87.5-108 MHz).
4.9.2.5 Sorts events by distance / type The list of traffic events can be ordered by their distance from the current position, or by their type. Tap this button to toggle between the two possibilities. 4.9.2.6 Use traffic information This button is enabled by default, which means that TMC messages are used in route planning. Tap this button to have MioMap ignore real-time traffic information when planning routes.
5 Find One of the most frequently used functions of MioMap is selecting the destination. Once you have the destination, you can start navigating. Getting to this point should be as fast as possible. MioMap provides you with a versatile search engine designed to find your chosen destination after only a few taps on the screen.
Note: When appearing automatically, the Cursor menu remains open for a few seconds only. If you decide not to choose any of the actions listed, the menu closes automatically. When you open it manually, it will remain until you close it or switch to another screen. Tip: If you want the selected point shown in the center of the map, close and reopen the menu or wait until it closes and open it again. By opening the Cursor menu manually, the map will be moved to have the selected location in the center. 5.
You enter the module at Level 3. From this point you can go forward (down) to give the name of the street, then the house number or intersection, or backward (up) to change the city, state or country to search. 5.3.1.1 Selecting the city, state and country to search in The first screen of the address-search module is the list of recently used cities (and states in Australia). The first line of the list is always the city you are in or near to.
screen, where you can select the desired city by entering a few letters of its name or some digits of its postcode, then select from the list of results automatically given by the program if the matching items can be displayed on one page, or displayed on more pages if you tap Done after entering some letters. Note: Zip codes may not be available for the selected country. In this case you need to enter the name of the city.
Tip: If you have finished entering the street name and the matching names are still on more than one page, just tap List, and select your desired city from the list. Turn the pages with the arrow buttons in the bottom right corner. Tip: In case you are looking for a city name that has more than one word, you can reduce the list of matches faster if you enter a few letters from each word.
Note: In Australia you can skip this part by tapping List before entering any letters. This way you can search for a street name in the whole state. In other countries this step is compulsory. If you press List before entering any letters, the list of cities will appear in alphabetical order. Changing the country If your destination is in another country, tap the Change Country button in the top right corner of the state selection screen (Australia, USA, etc.
Tip: If you are looking for an intersection, choose the street that has a rare or unusual name first. This way you need to enter fewer letters to get the list of results. You may also choose the shorter of the two streets first. This way it will be faster to choose the second one from the list of crossing streets after the first street has been selected. Tip: You can search for both the type and the name of a road.
5.3.2 Find in History If you have used Find before, or saved map points as POIs or picked and used points of the map before, they all appear in the History list. This list is ordered by the time the points were last used. The most recently used locations are always at the beginning of the list. Just pick any of the recent locations as your destination.
Entering a latitude/longitude pair is easy. The left field contains the latitude. It starts with an ‘N’ (North) or ‘S’ (South) letter. This tells MioMap whether the point is in the button to change the hemisphere. Northern or the Southern hemisphere. Use the Enter numbers for the latitude. Use the decimal point if the degrees, minutes or seconds are not integers.
Once you tap the Change ref. button, you are presented with these choices: • Address: you can specify an address to be searched around, or a city to search in. The center of this city will be used as the reference point. • History: the reference for the search can be selected from the History list. • Coordinates: you can specify a latitude/longitude pair to be the center of the search. • GPS Position: the search will be carried out around the current location given by the GPS if it is available.
Once the desired POI item is selected, MioMap will show its details. Tapping OK will return to the map with the selected POI in the center (or starts navigating to it if the POI search was started from the Main menu). Tapping the arrow in the top left corner returns to the search results.
6 Settings MioMap provides several settings in order to let you customize the functions of the program. The Settings screen can be accessed directly from the Main menu screen (Page 16) and from the map screens by using the battery icon (Page 30), while some of its sub-screens are accessible from other parts of the program. 6.1 General settings These are the basic settings of MioMap. 6.1.1 Safety Mode Safety mode will disable the touch screen above 10 km/h (6 mph) to keep your attention on the road.
6.1.2 Automatic Night Colors Using the automatic night mode, MioMap will change between the daylight and night color schemes a few minutes before sunrise and a few minutes after sunset based on the time and location information provided by your GPS. Once you set a permanent color scheme in the Quick menu (Page 43), this automatic mode turns off. If you need MioMap to switch between colors for you again, you need to reenable this feature. 6.1.
6.1.4.3 Alternative speeding tolerance If the speed limit of the current road reaches the value set at Alternative speed limit, this setting will replace the basic one set at the top of this screen. The slider and the selector work exactly as the basic ones described here: Page 73. Example: to let you better understand how this feature works, here is an example.
6.1.6.1 Audible Warning You can disable the audible warning; have a simple warning (when you are warned only if you exceed the speed limit when approaching a camera); or a complex sound with repeated beeps as you approach the camera. In case of section control cameras, you will also hear these beeps while you are between the two cameras (these cameras work in pairs). You are warned well in advance. The distance MioMap starts warning you before reaching the camera depends on your speed.
6.1.7 Set Favorite Destinations You can select two of your most frequent destinations to be your favorites (Page 71). You can start navigating to either of them by only two taps on the screen. The original names of these points are Home and Work. You can rename them and specify their locations.
Your options are: • Recalculate: MioMap will recalculate the route with the previous settings. The result is the same as if Automatic recalculation was selected. • Drop Next Via Point / Delete Route: MioMap will remove the next via point from the list and recalculate the route without it. If you have only one target left, the label of the button will be Delete Route, and it will end navigation.
6.2.2 Voice guidance volume/switch The switch on the left can turn on or mute MioMap's audible guidance (voice instructions and speed camera warning). When turned on, the slider on the right will adjust the loudness of voice prompts. In its leftmost position the voice guidance is suppressed, in its rightmost position the master volume applies. 6.2.3 Key sound volume/switch The switch on the left can turn the key sounds on or off.
6.3 Route parameter settings This is a very important page. Settings here determine how routes will be calculated. This screen is directly accessible from the Route Information screen (Page 36). 6.3.1 Route Here you can choose from three different route types. 6.3.1.1 Short Choosing Short will result in a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes between the given points. This is usually preferred by pedestrians, cyclists or slow vehicles. 6.3.1.
• Taxi • Bus • Emergency • Bicycle • Pedestrian 6.3.3 Road types to include/exclude To let the route fit your needs you can also set which road types are to be considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible. Note: Excluding a route is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded road types, MioMap will use them but only as much as necessary.
6.3.3.5 Permit needed To use some roads or enter some areas you may need special permit or permission from the owners. These roads are excluded from your routes by default. Use this switch if your vehicle is authorized to enter. 6.3.3.6 Toll Roads Toll roads are included in your routes by default. If you wish to travel more to avoid paying a toll, disabling them will make MioMap plan the best toll-free route for you. 6.3.3.
6.4.3 Units You can set the distance units to be used by the program. MioMap may not support all of the listed units in some voice guidance languages. If you select a measurement unit that is not supported by the chosen voice guidance language, you will see a red warning message under the selector. 6.4.4 Set Date & Time Format You can set the date and time format displayed by MioMap. Various international formats are available. 6.
These settings are independent of the settings of the other applications of MioMap v3.3. 6.5.2.1 Power management At the top of the screen you can set how the backlight will behave when the screen has not been touched for a while.
