You may only enable foreign characters when you have configured the language settings of the corresponding language: Hebrew, Greek or Russian. Numerical Keypad The numerical keypad exclusively has numbers for the comfortable entry of street numbers.
Navigation Main Screen Initially the navigation program displays in the Main menu. This is the starting point of the display screen hierarchy where you will seldom have to return to. Many of the screens are accessible between each other so that the number of operations is reduced. Most parts of the navigation program are directly accessible from the main screen when the keys are used as described below.
GPS – Reception and Configuration 1. Opening the GPS Main Menu When you tap on the satellite antenna icon in the navigation Main menu, the GPS Main menu will open. White satellite antenna: optimal GPS reception is available. 2. GPS Main Menu The "GPS Data" view contains all the information concerning the GPS reception. Geographical coordinates Date and time Speed Elevation Accuracy at current position The circular image of a virtual sky over you shows your position in the centre.
4. Connection Display Yellow satellite antenna: the signal is weak: it is diminishing. 5. Connection Display II Green satellite antenna: the GPS signal is optimal: it guarantees good position tracking. 6. Connection Display III Red satellite antenna: no GPS signal available: there is no position tracking at all. GPS Connection Display On the left there is a green lamp that displays a correctly-functioning GPS device. This does not mean that the device is receiving a GPS signal.
7. Connection Display IV The red satellite antenna to the lower left of the main screen: the satellite antenna is red: there is no GPS connection. 8. Connection Display V White satellite antenna with one or two wavey lines: a weak or optimal GPS signal is being received.
GENERAL SYSTEM SETTINGS 1. Selecting "Settings" Select Settings from the main menu. 2. Settings Menu The Settings menu contains six submenus allowing you to customise the navigation system.

Tap the arrows Next or Previous to navigate through the different languages.
Route Settings 1. Selecting "Settings" Select Settings from the main menu. 2. Selecting "Route Parameters" This menu item is very important. These settings determine how routes will be calculated. 3. Route Parameters Menu You can also access this screen via Route Information. Method: Use the sliders to set the route calculation speed. If the slider is moved to the left the route may not be optimal but the calculation is very fast.
Route: Fastest When using this setting, the route that takes the least time will be displayed. Normally, this route type is preferred for automobiles. Shortest When using Shortest, the route with the shortest distance between two waypoints will be shown. This will normally be the preferred option for pedestrians, cyclists or low-speed vehicles.
Economical This setting is an intelligent combination of the two previous route types. Generally the fastest route is selected. However, if there is an alternate route taking only a little more time but being much shorter in distance, it will get higher priority in order to save fuel. Vehicles and Road Types: Under Vehicle select from Car, Taxi, Bus, Lorry, Bicycle, or Pedestrian.
ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS 1. Selecting "Settings" Select Settings from the main menu. 2. Selecting "Advanced" These dialog boxes allow you to configure many advanced settings and enable some special features. Smart Zoom Smart Zoom offers some advanced features compared to the automatic zoom. While navigating along a route: When approaching a road junction, Smart Zoom enlarges the view and increases the virtual height so you can easily see the manoeuvre you are approaching.
Settings You can set the Smart Zoom level when approaching a road junction (lower zoom limit) and the maximum level of reduction (upper zoom limit) if the next road junction is still far away. Enabling Overview Mode: Here you can set how the overview mode should be activated if the next road junction is still far away.
Backlight Settings Under Backlight you can determine how the display backlight illumination should behave during operation. Backlight Always On Here you can choose to have the backlight always turned on. "Set custom backlight value for daylight" and "Set custom backlight value at night" These functions allow you to set the display backlight on a scale of relative values. Smart Powersave This feature increases the battery life.
MAPS 2D and 3D map display 1. 2D View 2D means two-dimensional (length x width). This is the classic map view of an unfolded paper map. 2. Changing Mode It is very easy to toggle between 2D and 3D map view. There are two options: Use the buttons from the Settings menu to toggle between the two modes. Use the semi-transparent icons for increasing the virtual height to infinite (equivalent to 2D view) or lower (3D view). 3. 3D View 3D means three-dimensional (length x width x height).
Zoom Levels Your MyGuide navigation device uses highquality vectorised maps. This allows you to view the map at different zoom levels with optimised contents. The detail density for the map and the cockpit display can be set independently via Settings => View Settings => Map Detail. Street names and other text objects will always be displayed with the same font size and never flipped vertically, and you will only see as many streets and objects as necessary for your orientation on the map.
Street names Streets are given names or numbers for identification. Of course you may display them on the map. The program can display street labels in two ways: The traditional mode is equivalent to a road map, the name appears parallel along the street. The alternate mode is a kind of virtual way sign to be pinned onto the street. You do not have to choose between the two modes. The program will display the most suitable mode depending on the virtual height and zoom level.
Cursor - selected map point When tapping any point on the map or when selecting a specific POI under Find, this point will become selected on the map. It will be marked by a small red dot and continuously expanding red circles will make it well visible. You may use this point as starting point, waypoint or destination of your route. Marked map point - Pin You can place a pin at the cursor position. All pins appear on the map.
For reduced map views no icons are displayed. Once you zoom in, at the POI position small dots will appear. When zooming in further, the icons will appear. If two points are located too close to each other so that the icons overlap, a Multi-POI icon will be shown instead of several individual icons. Enlarge the view in order to display the icons separately. (If both POIs have the same icon, this icon will appear instead of the Multi-POI icon.

EXPLANATION OF MAP DISPLAY CONTENTS AND FEATURES Because of their importance, the Cursor menu, Route Information display and the Find, Settings, Route and Main menus are explained in separate chapters. Route / Road junction Preview (1) While in Map view, this field also functions as a button. Here it shows a button labelled "Route", while an active route exists. Tap the button to open the Route menu (for detailed explanation, see page 63).
Adjusting the Virtual Height (4+5) These transparent buttons only appear while the Zoom function is enabled in the Settings menu (see page 59). As already explained, this function changes the vertical map viewing angle in 3D mode. You may change the angle through a wide range, starting from a fully vertical view (equivalent to 2D) to a low-height view giving a wide view ahead.
GPS tracking quality (8) Analogue to the icon on the GPS information display (see page 24) the map display also gives information on the GPS signal. They can show three identical values: Red satellite antenna: There is GPS signal reception, but the signal is too weak or the number of satellites are too few for position tracking. GPS navigation is not possible. Black antenna with one wave: GPS tracking OK and navigation possible.
Mute on/off (10) Press this button to mute the sound quickly. This does not change the volume level nor the enabled/disabled status of voice instructions or button sound, only the sound output will be switched off. While the Mute function is enabled, the loudspeaker icon is crossed out. Tap the icon again to reactivate the sound (Mute off). Note: You may also disable the sound in Settings => Sound => Master. The button Master on this menu works together with the above button.
The scale indication will only appear on the map display. In 2D view it represents the map scale. In 3D view it only represents the scale of the map section near the current position. The map scale can be used to zoom the map both in 2D and 3D view. Dragging the slider to the right increases the map scale, dragging it to the left decreases it. Cursor (16) When tapping any point on the map or when selecting a specific POI under Find, this point will become selected on the map.
Next Street/Next Locality – Current Street (17 + 18) This field indicates the next route on your itinerary. If you are yet not in the place the road belongs to, the name of the locality instead of the street name will appear. The name of the place will be marked with a dot in order to distinguish it from street names. In Cockpit mode this field will show the name and number (if applicable) of the street where you are currently driving.
Distance to next road junction (19) This fields shows the distance to the next route event (road junction, roundabout, exit, etc.). This field only appears while navigating, e.g. an active route has been selected. The cursor is the selected point on the map (a red dot emitting red circles) or the current GPS position whenever available and position tracking has been turned on.
Start You can set the Cursor position as the starting point of your route. This menu item will only be available in map mode and only when no active route has been selected. In Cockpit mode, the start point will always be the current GPS position or – if no GPS position can be obtained – the last known GPS position. Inserting Waypoints By inserting the selected map point as a waypoint, you will have to go to this point before going to your destination.
Inserting Pins Inserts a coloured pin at the selected point on the map, allowing easy identification of this point later on. This pin will be visible at any zoom level and also appear together with all exact details in the history list. The pin colour will be selected automatically. Unpin Removes the pin next to the cursor. This menu item will appear instead of "Pin" and is only available if the cursor is located near a pin.
Points of Interest (POI) The POI command opens a list of points of interest near the selected point. This is a POI list in the popup information window. To insert a new POI at the cursor position, tap New in the lower left-hand corner. This menu item will appear instead of "Add POI" and is only available in map mode if at least one POI is located near the cursor. Add POI POI opens a new POI data window allowing you to add customised points of interest to the list.
Display Route Information Route data can be displayed only after a route has been activated. There are two ways to access this menu: tap Info in the Route menu or tap any of the route data fields in Cockpit mode (see picture left). The Route Information display contains all data and some functions that are useful during navigation. Some additional information can be found in the Route menu. If no route has been activated, all buttons except one are disabled and the route data cannot be displayed.
INFORMATION The left part of the screen contains some information on the current route. The contents of these fields is updated continuously. Tap on any field to view details of the different waypoints until you reach your final destination. Distance Left This is the distance left to the final destination of your journey. If you have defined any waypoints, tap repeatedly on this field to view the distance to the first, second, etc. waypoint. Time Left This is an estimated value.
Destination/Waypoint This field contains the exact address of your destination. If you have defined any waypoints, tap repeatedly on this field to find the address. Route Line The upper part of the screen represents the planned route as a horizontal line. The left end of this line is the virtual start of your route, the right end the final destination. The waypoints are represented by small flag icons.
Warning Icons Normally, the five fields containing warning icons are grey. Some of them light up in red and show an icon whenever warnings for the active route are being displayed. These icons represent warnings for the entire route. If you tap on one of these icons, a description of its function will appear. Below there are some examples: 1. This icon alerts you that toll is to be paid on the recommended route. 2. This icon means that the route uses motorways.
Customising the Display Tap on this button to obtain an overview of the entire recommended route. This toggles to 2D map view with North alignment allowing you to quickly verify the route. Parameters This button opens the screen to set the route parameters that you normally access via the Settings => Route Settings menu. New Parameter Now under Route Information the new option Fastest will appear instead of the previous method Economic, and the route will be recalculated immediately.

Zoom & Tilt When the green Zoom LED lights up, transparent buttons will appear on the left of the map screen. You can use them to increase/ decrease the virtual height. If the Zoom button is disabled, the transparent buttons will disappear.
Manage My POI (POI = Point of Interest) The maps of your navigation system contain plenty of POIs. If all POIs would be displayed simultaneously, the map view would be confusing. In order to avoid this, you can set the POIs to be shown and those to be hidden. In the figure, the category Sports Recreation is hidden and can be displayed by tapping Show. In this figure Services is an active category. It can be hidden by tapping Hide.
Editing the Track Logs Editing the Track Logs The route track log contains your route information. Their name is represented by the date of the logging event. Tap Record to log the current route. The button will change to Stop Recording: tap to stop the track logging. Track Log Options In the top-right of the screen (see above figure) there is an option to access the Route Options submenu. Here you can: Update interval: The update interval defines the time between two logging events of the GPS position.

Fit to screen, e.g. display the entire route on the map. Export the track logging data onto the SD card. Establish the colour for the track logging on the map. Route Menu Route Menu This menu contains many route parameters setting options. It also features some options on how to obtain information on routes.
Recalculate This function repeats the route calculation based on the same settings as before. This option is to be used when the automatic Off-route recalculation has been disabled. You can use this function while driving parallel to a suggested route. In this case it can take a while for the program to recalculate, so you can have it recalculate the route manually.
Good to Know This function has been designed to offer an alternate route for the next route segment. To modify route segments later on or to avoid certain roads or junctions, use the function Avoid from the Itinerary menu. When using this function, the program will avoid this section of the map until you delete the route manually or restart the navigation device.
Cancel This command brings you back to the map screen without recalculating. Itinerary This functions opens an itinerary description (list of route events) for the active route. The menu Itinerary offers three different detailed lists and two functions. The different route event lists differ by the number of events they contain. The different list items always appear with all available information, i.e. with icons of the required manoeuvres as well as the distance to the route event.
Detailed Instructions This list will appear when you open the Itinerary. It is a detailed event list. Instructions When tapping the Mode button once, a list of events will open that requires greater attention on your part, e.g. a list of manoeuvres along the route. These events will appear in the manoeuvre preview and will be announced along with audible events. Route Summary Tap on Mode once again to obtain a route summary that lists only the major roads and road junctions.
Show When enabling a route segment and tapping on Show… ... …the route segment will appear immediately in Cockpit view. Manoeuvre: The Manoeuvre option avoids the marked place. For instance, if you feel a turn will be too difficult during rush hour traffic, the program will recalculate your route without that turn. Road: If you exclude a specific road, MyGuide recalculates the route without this road.
Edit Tap Edit to show all routes. You can edit the list in the following way: Add: This allows you to add a new route. Delete: This allows you to delete the selected route. Warning: the program will delete it without prompting you. Optimise: This will optimise the waypoint order. Up and Down: these buttons allow you to sort the list by moving the selected item up or down. In our example a new route is added. After tapping the Add button the Find menu will appear, allowing you to define a new route.
Delete Tap on Delete to permanently erase the active route including all points (starting points, waypoints and destination). The program will prompt you prior to deleting. The function has a special role when you have been using the option Avoid. Once you have reached your destination the route line will disappear from the map and the navigation is cancelled.
ENTERING DESTINATIONS AND ROUTE PLANNING There are generally two ways to specify a destination: "Find and Go" from the Main Menu This is the most frequent method used offering the best possibilities to distinguish items when entering the destination. The Find dialog box will appear and, as soon as you have specified your destination, the program toggles to Cockpit view and starts navigating.

SOME NAVIGATION EXAMPLES Navigating a Route with Two Waypoints 1. Enter a Destination via "Find and Go" First enter the destination city. If you only know the post code, tap Keys to toggle to the numeric keypad and enter the postcode. 2. Enter the Street To enter the street name "Princess Grace Palace" simply enter "P, space, G, space, P". The program will locate the street in the database. 3.
5. Finding Waypoints While on the way to your destination you decide to go to a pharmacy. To do so, search a Pharmacy POI in the zoomed map view along or near your route. 6. Inserting Waypoints Place the cursor at the POI position on the map. Detailed information will be shown. Tap on Add Via and the pharmacy will be saved as a waypoint. Don't tap Route To, otherwise you'll delete your route to the destination. 7.
9. Total Route Map View The map view with the entire route contains a blue flag for your starting position, two white flags for the two waypoints and one red flag for your destination. 10. Route Information Before you go, read the Route Information (Menu => Route => Info). Here you can see a summary of information on your route. The straight route segment on top shows two waypoints.
11. First Waypoint The bright green segment represents the active route, the dark green segment represents the route that is not active yet that comes after the waypoint. 12. Second Waypoint The second waypoint along your route leads you to the petrol station. 13. Route Information Read the Route Information for the last route segment (Menu => Route => Info). Here you can see a summary of information about your remaining route.
14. Roundabout Just before reaching your destination you approach a roundabout. The graphic representation on the top left indicates that you have to take the seventh exit (roundabout icon with a 7 in the centre). 15. Arrival at Destination Only 160 m left to destination: The destination flag appears in the upper left-hand corner.
OFFLINE ROUTE PLANNING Planning a Route without GPS Position 1. Set your Starting Point You want to plan a route while at home. As for offline route planning without any GPS signal you only need the on-screen map. From the main menu select the map mode and set the cursor at the starting point on the map. 2. Find Your Destination Search for the destination city in "Recent Destinations" (or enter it via the keypad) and enter the street name and number.
4. Route Information Under Route Information you'll see the destination address in Rome. However, there is more distance (km) to run because the waypoint is located behind the destination and you will have to go back to reach your destination. Thus, the Distance in km is shown as the total trip distance. 5. Swapping Destination and Waypoint At this point you decide to go to the Colosseum first and afterwards to St. Peter's Square in order to have more time to visit St. Peter's Square.
6. Destination Set Now St. Peter's Square (the earlier waypoint) has become your destination. This status is indicated by a red flag. The active bright green route brings you to your waypoint, the Colosseum (the earlier destination). As soon as your device detects a GPS signal it starts calculating the route automatically and you can start navigating.
NAVIGATION DEVICE AND PC To be able to copy data to the SD card, your PC must have access to this SD card. The SD Card – Interface between the Navigation Device and the PC You can transfer data to your navigation device via the SD card or via a USB connection. This allows you to store additional maps, pictures, videoclips, movies and games. Simply establish a connection between your SD card and the PC (the PC acts as a data source) or connect the navigation device and the PC by using a USB cable.
1. Card Reader and PC Connect the USB cable of the card reader to your computer (see arrow). 2. Insert the SD Card Insert the SD card into the card reader slot. In our example, the card slot is labelled "SD/ MMC". Modern computers (especially notebooks) already include a card so you don't need to purchase an external card reader device. 3. SD Card and PC Now the SD card and PC are connected. The SD card will appear as a disk drive on your computer.
SOFTWARE The supplied media contains additional map material for your device. These maps have a high resolution up to street number and are separated. The utility software "MapLoader" is also contained on the disk media and assists you in copying maps from the disk onto your device. Please also read the corresponding description under "Navigation Device and PC". The MapLoader menu appears. It allows you to copy map data from the disk media to the device.
TROUBLESHOOTING Do you need to troubleshoot or get to know your system more in detail? Just read on. Troubleshooting Possible solutions for the most common questions and problems Device Problems Possible Solutions Unable to power on while working on battery power. The remaining battery power is not sufficient for powering on the device. Connect the device to the power adapter/car charger and connect it to a wall outlet/the car cigarette lighter. Next, turn the device on. The screen stays blank.
Device Problems Bad or no GPS reception. Possible Solutions Make sure that the GPS antenna has a clear sight to the sky. The GPS reception can be altered by the following: - bad weather - dense and high obstacles (e.g. trees or buildings) - other devices installed in the car that use radio frequency - tinted or reflective windshields No blue arrow appears indicating my position. Navigation does not start. Verify the GPS status icon on the main menu, the map screen or the GPS data screen.
Device Problems Possible Solutions To create a route including waypoints I have tapped Route To for any waypoint, but only the last route appears on the list, all the others have disappeared. The Route To button will create a new route only. You have to tap this button after you have selected the destination for each route. However, routes with waypoints may be created after creating a single route with a destination. Add the waypoints by tapping the buttons Add Via and Continue.

GLOSSARY AND INDEX (Explanation of the most important technical terms) 2D/3D GPS tracking: The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to track its (your) position. Depending on the current position of the orbiting satellites in the sky and the objects located around you, the received signal will be strong or weak. Your GPS unit requires strong signals from at least four satellites to be able to calculate your position in three dimensions (including elevation).
Automatic route recalculation: When this function has been enabled, the navigation program will recalculate the route if you deviate from the planned route. If you miss an exit or need to go around a closed road, the program will wait for a few seconds and determine whether you are really no following your planned route (this time can be defined in Advanced Settings), and recalculates the route based on your current position and driving direction.
calculated. You may, however, disable it under Advanced Settings when moving by bicycle or in pedestrian mode. Lock-to Position: If a GPS position can be obtained the program will move the map so that the blue arrow (yellow at night) showing your current position will always stay within the display area. You can move or rotate the map to restore the position. In this case a button labelled "Follow" will appear on screen. When tapping this button or an entry the status "Lock-to Position" will be restored.
track to be displayed on the map. This allows you to display the track on the screen at any time. This feature is useful to show the route to other people or to analyse the manoeuvres performed on that route. Waypoint: Your navigation device allows you to enter any number of destinations you may want to go one after the other. All these points except of the last one (the final destination) are called waypoints. Waypoints are marked by flags on the Route Information straight line showing the route.
